Look up and tell me YOU can see lights in the sky...I saw two orange
blob-looking objects form into one – I ran upstairs and burst into tears...It was so black there was no shine from it at all...
Orange blobs and wobbling silver discs – just some of the unexplained objects seen hovering and floating above Lancashire.

In Monday's Lancashire Evening Post, Plungington pub landlord John Gibirdi and Fulwood pensioner Celia Williams told their tales of strange happenings in the skies.

Since then, more baffled readers have been in touch, adding fuel to the fire that the county ranks third as the place people are most likely to see a UFO, according to the Ministry of Defence.

Several people, including Jane Taylor, of Rose Avenue in Ashton, say they saw the same orange lights that 79-year-old Mrs Williams saw at around 11.30pm on Saturday, June 7.

Jane said: "My mum had a stroke and I was outside Accident and Emergency having a cigarette when I saw six of them coming out of the sky.

"I said to the ambulance man 'Look up and tell me that you can see lights in the sky'.

"I thought I was going mad."

Katrina Stocks, 18, from Hoghton, contacted us to say that in 2006 she saw similar-looking UFOs that shocked her so much, she cried.

Katrina, a business administrator, said: "I was sitting on my living room windowsill at around 1am when I saw two orange blob-looking objects form into one and then disappear.

"I froze at the sight of it.

"My friend and brother were worried as I didn't move. My face had dropped and I was as white as a ghost. I ran upstairs to my mum and dad and burst into tears."

Charles Maddox, of Fox Lane, Leyland, got in touch to say he and his son, Danny, 16, saw a UFO on June 11 above their garden.

Charles, who says he has seen three UFOs in the past 20 years, said: "We watched it for a good five minutes.

"It was a black, round, large object. The odd thing about it was it was so black that there was no shine from it at all.

"There was an aeroplane some miles above it and it was shining silver as they do from the evening sun."

Mr Darling,

There seems to have been a surge in UFO sightings recently. I recall a similar trend in the mid-90's. Could it be that alien visitors are once again taking advantage of an economic downturn here on earth for cheap holidays? If so, I wonder what it is they like so much about Lancashire - does anyone have any suggestions?

Funny how these UFO hotspots are all close to places where military aircraft are manufactured or tested.

Perhaps the aliens are keeping an eye on our technical abilities...

Aliens! Mind you if E.T and his mates did come to have a look, with the madness going on in our world,they would jump back into their space ship,shoot off,contact the mother ship then the earth would be blown to bits! Nothing here for them,but trouble.

Oh dear, in America the places with the most UFO sightings are invariably backwater hick towns inhabited by hairy-palmed locals. And now Lancashire is 3rd highest in Britain for UFO sightings. I'm moving.

For doubters who await Govt. confirmation of aliens and craft, forget it, it wont come. Religion, politics, mass hysteria, go figure. If you wish to move forward with an open mind, and are prepared for a shock re your origins, ongoing one on one open contact, superb pre-photoshop close-up color photos of beam ships, drones etc. then go to www.theyfly.com.
