It all started with Mark Attenborough, who was at his home in Market Street with his nephew and a neighbour when one of them suddenly spotted multi-coloured objects moving through the air on April 20.
Mark said: “We were shocked. They were like patterns of four or five different lights, some were blue, but they were all different colours.
“We were all just stunned – it was like looking at Christmas tree lights, it was weird.”
Next, Joe Shelton claimed that he saw a ‘fast, bright light’ shoot across the sky from his back garden on Elmhurst Drive on March 21 this year.
He said: “I was just in the back garden having a fag with my neighbour and this light just suddenly flew over us.
“It was really bright and really fast – definitely too fast to be a plane, I tell you that.”
Following reports of these sightings, more residents have come forward to share their own unusual experiences.
