Townsfolk spotted strange light zipping across the St Helens skyline over the weekend.
A number of residents contacted the
St Helens Reporter to report seeing weird lights floating across several parts of the borough.
There were three separate sightings in Parr, Haydock and Newton-le-Willows on Saturday night alone.
One resident in Parr said he saw three objects similar to Chinese lanterns zooming across the night sky at around 10.50pm.
"I've never seen anything like it before but I have heard plenty of talk from other folk who reckon they've seen similar things," said the man, who asked not to be named.
