The truth is out there.....

WAS HORSHAM visited by extra-terrestrials over the weekend?

One user on the Horsham Facebook page claimed he saw a series of unexplained bright lights in the sky on the night of Saturday October 15.

“Did anyone notice some very strange looking lights over Horsham last night about 7.15?” he asked.

“There were seven of them. We saw them outside our front door and the immediate thought was that they were the Plough constellation of stars.

“But on a further look, they were much brighter and were orange in colour, and the Plough was above and behind them as it usually is.”

Then the mysterious lights

started moving off to the north-west, said the man.

“They weren’t planes queuing up for Gatwick, because as we were watching the lights another plane flew behind them on its approach to Gatwick as they usually do. Anybody know what they could have been?”

Other users agreed that something strange was in the skies on Saturday night.

“Me and my friend saw them and wondered what they were but they seemed to be flashing and changing colour but not moving like a aeroplane would,” said one.

But other users queued up to bring the alien spotters back down to earth, informing them that their strange sightings were almost certainly caused by Chinese lanterns.

The County Times has reported on several occasions how the paper lanterns have been mistaken for UFOs in the past.

“If it’s orange and drifting slowly on the wind, it’s a Chinese lantern,” cautioned one user.

Another said: “People were setting them off for baby loss awareness. Not UFOs!”
