One UFO mystery solved as another appears
huntspost.co.uk ^ | - 08 June 2009

REPORTS of sightings of strange orange lights in the sky over Huntingdon in last week's Hunts Post were enthusiastically followed up by national newsapers and radio.

The mystery really caught the media imagination with the story floating as far as the lights - before it transpired that the most likely explanation was that they were party lanterns. The story we started was logged as the most read story on The Daily Telegraph website.

Chinese lanterns were set alight and left to drift in the sky like tiny hot-air balloons, as part of the celebrations for an 18th birthday party at Brampton Race Course.

The party was on Wednesday May 27 - the night of several separate sightings by Hunts Post readers. The occasion was a joint 18th birthday party for three sixth form boys at Kimbolton School.

But the mystery continues: What are these unidentified round shapes seen in the sky on a different day over Sandy?

This picture was taken by pilot Andy Dunlop, who runs a flying school, Sky Dragon Leisure, in Alconbury.

He took the picture at his home in Sandy on Saturday, May 30 at 7.30pm.

Mr Dunlop, 39, told The Hunts Post: "This is something inexplicable. I have sent the picture to two UFO investigators and I have Googled everything I can think of and no one can tell me what they are. I have been flying since I was 18 and I have never seen anything like it.

"What struck me was that on a windy evening when anything that wasn't tethered should have been flying really fast - they were moving very slowly and in a controlled way. There were about five of then - then one of them shot off suddenly to the right."

The mystery deepens further today as wispy, amorphous white objects steadily appear throughout the daytime sky. Locals silently refer to these objects as "sky ghosts". In a breaking news story, we bring you this exclusive photo:

You, too? They’re all over the place here, and they’ve obviously got evil intent as they keep getting bigger and darker. They have some kind of chemical or biological weapons that coat you with liquid if you’re caught outside when they do that “transition to dark” phase. And I think they may be photographing us to see how we respond to the attacks. You can seen their flash go off.
