Darting silently in formation, the mysterious glowing orbs light up the night sky. Some say these orange lights even weave in between each other with the precision of a synchronised flying team from some far corner of the universe. Clusters of more than 100 have been spotted across Britain and even Holland, leaving onlookers with an eerie sense that, for all the mystifying beauty of the strange objects, they may have just witnessed an armada of invading UFOs. Stunned: Families in Lincoln spotted glowing orange spheres grouped together in the sky on Sunday night. Witnesses reported seeing the lights flying in an apparent formation, dodging and darting around each other before disappearing. The most recent sighting was on Sunday when they were seen in two locations, Merseyside and Lincoln. Days earlier a similar phenomenon was spotted over Cambridgeshire, where one witness claims each was as big as a house. The sightings have prompted defence officials to check their logs and sent UFO fans into orbits of excitement. Engineer Paul Slight, 54, took photos on his mobile phone of the strange objects hovering over Lincoln at 10.30pm while he was cycling home after a day out with friends. 'There were 26 of them at first, dodging and darting in between each other like they were playing a game,' he said. 'After that, seven more arrived and weaved through the crowd of lights like strange kinds of aircraft. After five minutes of moving around, they hung in the air for a second then shot off into the sky and disappeared.' A spokesman for nearby RAF Cranwell said the base was closed at the weekend so the lights could not be attributed to its aircraft. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence is examining claims that the Merseyside lights were connected to an exercise involving HMS Daring, docked in Liverpool. An ex-military source claimed the lights were dropped by jets to simulate the path of a missile in order to test the warship's radar systems...
Military exercise: Experts are investigating whether these orange lights above Merseyside were 'counter measures' to test the defences of a Royal Navy ship. HMS Daring, believed to have been taking part in an exericise when UFOs were spotted over Merseyside. HMS Daring, which is currently docked at Liverpool, uses radar-activated guns. It is believed the lights seen may have been 'counter-measures' to test its defences. In Cambridgeshire, banker Scott Boswell, 37, said he saw more than 100 lights flying less than two miles above his home in Hinchingbrooke. The former soldier and experienced pilot said: 'I know they weren't aircraft – they were silent. 'And I was a soldier for a decade so I could immediately rule out flares or weather balloons. I really have no idea what they were.' On the same night, May 27, at around 11.30pm guesthouse owner Auberon Hedgecoe, 40, of nearby Huntingdon, also saw the lights. 'There was no sound,' he said.
The Hedgecoe family, from left Suzi, Barney, friend Zac and Auberon, saw 50 of the orange lights above Huntingdon and described them as being 'as big as a house' 'They were travelling 15 at a time and every six minutes more seemed to be coming over the horizon. They were not planes. They were not balloons. Each one was the size of a building.' Last night it emerged a woman has contacted her local newspaper to claim that the lights over Lincoln were Chinese lanterns – mini hot air balloons – set off at her wedding reception. 'They looked amazing, hope you all enjoyed the spectacle,' she said. Nick Pope, the former head of the MoD's UFO Project, supported the Chinese lantern theory. 'I'm not disparaging the whole UFO phenomenon, but I'd say 99 per cent of UFO reports involving orange lights in the sky these days are attributable to these lanterns.'
I saw one of these fly past my house (in Shirley) last night! It looked like a small hot air baloon and was travelling pretty fast. Ive got video evidence on my phone, but it is no better than the pictures provided.

They are Chinese lanterns or similar type objects.

I was travelling as a passenger from Boston to Notts on Sunday night. I went by cranwell. As we drove through Newark, there was a HUGE aircraft which was just totally stationary in the sky over Kelham. I have been going on about it since Sunday cos it was WEIRD. it looked too big to be there stationary in the sky and was not a harrier jumpjet. I put it down to being something from Cranwell. How weird. It wasn't dark, it was sunset so no lights... just massive aircraft and stationary in the sky. I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

On the comments page on the Lincolnshire Echo, a lady said the lights seen in Lincoln were Chinese lanterns set off at her wedding on Saturday night!

I can assure you that these lights are indeed alien space craft. We have landed, assimilated local languages, and our emisary is called BLEARS. We are all of similar stature and are here to save the World. We are alarmed at the cost of fuel on your planet and did not know you had to serve yourself, this, because of our height, has caused us problems when refuelling, you will pay for this! We have been shocked to discover how deeply primitive you earthlings are, why do you still mash potatoes? Must go now as some hooded earthling has just let my tyres down.
