UFOs photographed over the Lake District

Campers in the Lake District, England, were treated to a spectacular light show from a string of glowing orbs which flew in formation across the sky.

The glowing orbs seen over the Lake District.

The lights were seen above Ullswater on Saturday night over the Park Foot campsite, as the Telegraph reports.

People rushed out of their tents to stand and watch in awe as the lights darted back and forth.

They weaved in and out of one another and appeared to fade and then light up again as they soared through a clear sky.

Camper Paul Haigh, 28, of Darlington, said: "Most people had turned in for the night but we were woken by a commotion.

"Someone had spotted something and dashed out to get a better look.

"Soon everyone was outside their tents and looking up into the sky, it was like a scene from Close Encounters.

"The lights were amazing and seemed to fly in formation, they were darting around, fading an lighting up again.

"There was ever more than six in the sky at any one time, but as one faded another lit up, it was a really weird spectacle.

"There were various theories as to what they were, someone said Chinese lanterns, but they seemed much too big and moving too fast.

"They looked as though they were being propelled under their own power rather than being blown by the wind, it was a still night."

Lucy Gray, 26, of Leeds, said: "They seemed to be dancing around in the sky, not just racing straight across it like clouds.

"They were moving in formation, keeping a regular distance apart and they'd all shift around at the same time.

"It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen and I can't explain it, unless they were aircraft on a training exercise."

Yet another sighting in the country that has seemingly become a hotspot for UFOs.

Instanbul UFO returns

Following it's visit in 2007, and again last year, the UFO has been filmed again at Kumburgaz, near Instanbul, Turkey.



This is some cool footage of the metallic craft. Note the dog barking at the UFO at 4 minutes and 10 seconds!

20+ UFOs in formation over the UK

THIS amazing picture captured the strange sighting of more than 20 UFOs buzzing over what is becoming a UFO-infested Britain.



As the Sun newspaper reports, stunned families watched as the lights in the sky lined up in a flying formation before disappearing upwards into space.

The close-encounter snap was taken by engineer Paul Slight on his mobile phone at about 10.30pm on 31 May 2009.

He was coming home from a day out cycling with friends in Lincoln when they spotted the lights in the sky.

The objects were hovering in the night sky over the town moving in different directions before eventually shooting straight up into the atmosphere.

In a series of stunning images taken over five minutes, Paul, from Lincoln, captured the objects together and even flying in an apparent formation.

Paul, 54, said: "There were 26 of them at first, dodging and darting in between each other like they were playing a game.

"After that, seven more arrived from the right hand side and weaved through the crowd of lights like strange kinds of aircraft.

"After five minutes of moving around, the flickering yellow objects hung in the air for a second then shot off into the sky and disappeared.

"I have no idea what they were - I'm not usually a believer but what I saw was really weird.

"I have flown planes and helicopters before and I know these were not them, helicopters couldn't line up like that or move that fast."

Former air hostess Claire Jackson, also from Lincoln, saw the same strange yellow objects circling in the sky that night.

Claire, 40, said: "I counted around 20 lights in the sky, they seemed to be moving around each other.

"They were definitely not aircraft or fireworks, they moved differently, it was really strange."

Phil Hoyle, from UK-based UFO Investigation Unit, said the way the UFOs had moved indicated a form of intelligence.

He said: "If these objects were circling one another you would have to rule out that they were fireworks.

"If they were dodging and darting around each other it would indicate intelligent movement."

Ruth Veron, spokesperson for nearby RAF Cranwell, said she did not know what the phenomena could be.

She said: "RAF Cranwell is closed over the weekend so it could not have been any aircraft from this base.

"I do not have any idea what the lights could be, we did not have any aircraft flying that night."
