The Dumfries UFO mystery has thickened.

Another two reports of sightings have come forward from people who witnessed orange lights over the town two weeks ago.

The revelation comes after a story in Wednesday's Standard when a woman claimed to have seen 11 UFOs in the skies on Friday, June 26, at around 10.30pm.

After reading the story, Sandra McGowan of the town's Broomlands Drive said she and husband Allan saw the lights at the same time.

She said: "My husband saw them when he was coming home after being out and called me out to see them.

"There were four of them in the sky, all bright orange and there wasn't a sound.

"And then there was another four which came after them, they were just gliding along, very high in the sky.

"We never thought about saying anything until we picked up the Standard.

"Usually I'm very sceptical about these things, but it was definitely something."

And the following night, another couple saw the lights.

One of them said: "It was over the Newbridge area and my daughter who lives in Thornhill also said she could see it.

"There were three or four of them and they were as high in the sky as you could get. Some of our neighbours were saying it was a Chinese Lantern but it wasn't anything like that."

Police have said they had no reports of any UFOs.
