UFO hunters have claimed the North is becoming a hotspot of extraterrestrial activity.
Ufologists across the region have reported what they believe is an unprecedented rise in the number of unexplained events in the night sky.
Strange shapes and lights have been reported in several areas including locations near to sensitive military sites and nuclear power stations.
The most recent sighting came in Cumbria when there were reports of orange lights above the Irish Sea off the coast of Ravenglass, just a few miles from the Sellafield power plant.
