Mystery 'UFO' lights are seen in night sky
Two mystery "UFOs" were seen racing silently across the sky by amazed onlookers in Shropshire. The unusual bright lights were seen at about 9pm on Monday night by people in two areas of the county. Both described the lights as moving rapidly but without any sound.
Policeman Richard Emery saw the lights from Bayston Hill at 8.55pm. They appeared to be flying over the A49 in the Dorrington or Leebotwood area.
"I was going out to my vehicle and saw them. They were very bright and not like you would see on an aircraft or a helicopter," he said.
"They were well to the south of Bayston Hill and what I couldn't get over was the fact there was no sound with them. They were certainly not close enough to be two lights on one plane."
Security guard Robert Picken saw what he believes were the same lights above a wood just north of Craven Arms at 9pm.
Mr Picken, who works at Land Rover supplier Britpart in Craven Arms, said: "I was going down towards my site and saw these lights coming over the wood heading towards us.
"Then they veered off to the right and vanished in mid air. It was frightening at the time it was happening."
Mr Picken, of Hereford, also said the mystery lights appeared to make no sound and moved very quickly through the air.
"I was a bit confused because nothing like it has ever happened to me before," he added.
