Shop worker Mitesh Tailor also took pictures of the 'mysterious light' above Ashton.
Residents in parts of Greater Manchester say the truth is out there... after snapping what they say were 'mysterious lights' in the sky. People living in Tameside and in
Gorton claim to have seen a strange phenomenon in the night sky.
Mitesh Tailor, 31, said he was amazed to spot 'glowing lights' above
Ashton-under-Lyne's Hartshead Estate on Friday evening. HR officer Mitesh first spotted the lights from his bedroom window on Friday, which he says have resumed even more brightly on Saturday and Sunday nights. Intrigued by the phenomenon, Mitesh took photographs of what he saw shortly after midnight on Sunday.
He said: "At first I didn't think much of it, on Friday I thought it was just normal but last night it was a lot brighter. "It's not the moon, that is on the other side of my house. They weren't artificial lights either, the area is really dark."

And in a separate spotting, Gorton resident Zac Weaver also snapped images which show a strong milky light coming through the clouds. Zac explained: "The light abve Gorton is back and as you can see in three of the photos there's actually a little bright light above the tree that seems to move. "This can't be the stone roses events as that ended about an hour ago. And I know it wasn't because of the event becasue the light hasn't been there the past couple of days."
