Unexplained orange lights have been sighted for a second time over Ripley. Rebeka Stapleton was driving through the town on the night of November 2 when she spotted 13 UFOs.

She was with her sister and her partner who all saw the orange balls of light floating over the town.

The three parked at the police station to watch them in the sky.

"My initial thought was that they were street lights but as I gazed I noticed that they were moving, I thought they were suspended by wire but they moved too much to be suspended," Miss Stapleton, said.

"One by one they started to move away soon they disappeared out of sight."

The following day Rebeka visited the Ripley and Heanor News website and found a story about a similar sighting in August.

She said: "One explanation was that they could have been Chinese lanterns. I have looked at websites where these lanterns are advertised and I can definitely say that these were not what I spotted that night."
