PROM princesses sparked a UFO mystery this week.
Strange bright lights in the Horsham night sky dazzled onlookers and sparked extraterrestrial conspiracies in the early hours of Saturday morning (July 5).But the fleet of twinkling air crafts turned out to be a flock of Chinese lanterns released by teenagers at Christ's Hospital School's leavers' party.
Lorry driver Steve Hayles was amongst the Horsham district residents bewildered by the floating burning balls.
The lanterns caught the Royal Mail HGV driver's eye while he was driving round Broadbridge Heath roundabout on his way home from a night shift at 1am: "I had to drive round the roundabout twice in my lorry because I just couldn't work out what they were," he said. The Broadbridge Heath dad of two thought the slow moving unidentified objects were helicopters but his curiosity was pricked when he noticed they had no navigation lights

The aliens are here!

AN UNIDENTIFIED flying object has been spotted moving suspiciously in the Middleton sky.
According to a national newspaper, a blue and white cube was seen "rotating randomly" by worried residents.
The weird sighting comes as dozens of reports of unidentified flying objects moving above the streets of Britain have flooded in.
In the last few weeks soldiers and police officers have also reported close encounters with unusual objects in different parts of the UK.
Shapes of all sizes, colour and brightness have been spotted at night in various locations and experts are baffled as to whether aliens really are visiting our planet, or the bizarre sightings can be put down to natural phenomena.
UFO expert Malcolm Robinson said: "This one in Middleton is one of the many strange sightings that have been reported in the British skies over the last several months.
"It's when you look down all the corridors, like speaking to police and finding out if there was any aircraft activity that night, and you can't find a rational explanation that you realise that something very bizarre is happening."
Mr Robinson, who runs his own company called Strange Phenomena Investigations, added that 95 per cent of sightings can be logically explained - but it's the other five per cent that need investigating further.
"Some experts believe it could be linked to global warming and craft from outer space are appearing because they are concerned about what man is doing to our planet," he said.
The strange blue and white cube floating above Middleton was spotted on 15 June. Although no report has been made to the local police.
The Ministry of Defence recently announced it was opening secret files on UFO encounters dating back over the last 30 years which reveal details of hundreds of mysterious sightings – from large golden stationary orbs to silver discs moving at rapid speeds.
But whether you believe little green men from outer space are visiting Earth – or think there is a more rational explanation, these ‘sightings’ seem to be becoming more frequent. Although one UFO spotter was left red-faced after his report of a mysterious flying saucer in South Wales turned out to be nothing more other-worldly than the moon.

UFO captured on camera in North Tyneside

ONE man is claiming to have captured an image of a UFO over the borough coast.
IT manager Paul Robson, from Newcastle, was visiting Tynemouth when he apparently caught an unidentified flying object near an Emirates aeroplane on his own digital camera.
The photograph, which shows a 'flying saucer' shaped object on the right hand side, was taken at Tynemouth Long Sands at around 1pm on Saturday, June 28.Mr Robson told the News Guardian:
"It was taken on my four meg digital camera.
"I was there with my wife and kids – just near the church of St George's on the seafront.
"I was testing my camera's battery and took a shot of the Emirates flight from Dubai into Newcastle.
"Looking at the photos the following day I noticed a shadow north east of the plane – and when I zoomed it looked like a flying saucer shape."
Mr Robson said that the photo has not been doctored and he can't recall seeing the object when he took the photograph."Needless to say, I've taken a bit of stick at work for this," he added.
A local freelance photographer from North Tyneside, John Millard, said he was sceptical, and believed the unidentified object could have been a fault with the camera or, most likely, a speck of dirt in the lens.
"I think he needs his lens cleaned," he said.

UFO circles Hebden Bridge at 3am - local schoolteacher says it woke her up

WAS IT a bird, was it a plane, or a twin-engined chinook?
Either way something was circling Hebden Bridge in the early hours of the morning and it has left residents scratching their heads. The UFO circled the town in a slow 10 minute loop at around 3am and was said to be so loud it pulled people from their beds.
Sarah Smith, Hebden Bridge resident and a teacher at Warley Road Primary School, said: "It woke me up it was so loud but the sky was very cloudy and I couldn't really make out what all the racket was.
"It sounded like some sort of Chinook but I could only really see its light and not much else.
"It was rumbling and rattling but there was no searchlight coming off it.
"It was all really weird to see, especially at that time in the morning."
Calderdale police say they were not undertaking any helicopter searches in the area on the night of July 9 nor were the armed forces. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson, said: "There was no flying activity by us that night in the north of England - it's a mystery to us."
There has been a recent spate of UFO sightings across Britain, with 22 in the past month alone. But it is the first time recently something unexplained has been spotted in Calderdale's skies. Among the sightings include soldiers seeing 13 objects above their barracks at Tern Hill, Shropshire and a police helicopter reporting a close encounter with a UFO near Cardiff.

UFO Expert Admits Islington Video Could Be Aliens
Source
VIDEO footage of a mysterious triangle of lights hovering in the night skies above Islington has been verified by a UFO expert - who believes it could be an extra-terrestrial spaceship.
Paul Southcott, a member of the UFO Supernatural Study Group, has told the Gazette he is "90 per cent sure" that spooky footage of a trio of bright orbs moving above the Chapel Market area is genuine.
The startling video was shot at 9.30pm by a 45-year-old mother-of-two from her second-floor home off Essex Road in April 2004.
Two weeks later she filmed a larger unidentified orb that appeared in exactly the same position at the same time of day.
The woman, who does not want her identity to be revealed, has not shown the footage until now for fear of being branded a hoaxer.
She said: "It was like a blob in the sky above the trees. I'm a 100 million per cent sure it was a UFO because it was like a big orb darting about like a lunatic. I zoomed in on it and it looked like a big ball of cells, like they would look if you saw them through a microscope.
"I wasn't scared at all because I was so fascinated. I stayed up all night afterwards looking at the footage. It was so exciting and I've been wondering what to do with it ever since. It was only when I looked at other UFOs on the internet that I realised it was exactly the same as all those other sightings."
Mr Southcott, of New North Road, Islington, an avid follower of UFO and supernatural sightings since he was a child, visited the woman's home with the Gazette to see for the two films for himself.He said: "A lot of people feel a bit weird after a sighting like this. There's no way this is a reflection from a lamp or Chinese lanterns. This is what we call an amber ball - it's always associated with a triangle.
There was one above Pentonville Road in 1996 when nine of them all went into the one ball."I've not seen anything like that before. It's impressive."
Mr Southcott believes the lights, captured on film on a clear and starry night, could be the outline of a spaceship. There appear to be no stars visible within the triangle, which slowly changes angles as if turning on its axis.He said: "A triangle one minute and a line the next minute - I can't see the planets coming out of line to do that, can you?
"We've got stars around it but in the middle there's nothing."
It could be a Tesco bag, but until it lands it's unidentified. It's strange. I'm 90 per cent sure it's something."
The woman - who contacted the Gazette after we uncovered a lost UFO sighting last month - has since had dreams about a UFO invasion.
She said: "I'm relieved that someone like Paul who's got a bit of expertise about it thinks it's genuine. I wrote to the Ministry of Defence but they didn't want to know. It's been driving me a bit mad from time to time. I'll leave it for months on end - and then I think let's get it out and look at it again."
Mr Southcott, who is planning to have the video cleaned up and authenticated, added: "[The MOD] can get away with it being anything they want. They have called the RAF out in the past - I'm surprised something this big didn't attract a helicopter at least. People want answers but nobody gives them to them."Judge for yourself - watch the UFO video now on the Gazette homepage!

More south Norfolk UFO sightings reported
Source
Several people have responded to the sighting of a UFO over a south Norfolk village.
The original sighting was over Garboldisham but another Diss Express reader has been in touch to say a mystery object was also sighted between Diss and East Harling earlier that evening, while Tony Sandy, who now lives in Scotland has recalled his 1966 sighting in Diss.
A Garboldisham resident was walking his dog on the village's playing fields when the sighting was made.
The man reported seeing a large yellow beam of light that shot across the sky repeatedly for about ten minutes at about 12.30am on Saturday.
He said: "There's no doubt about what I spotted."
I frequently walk my dog at night, but this is the first time I have ever seen anything like that."
It wasn't a plane or anything, it was definitely a UFO – I got quite scared."
Garboldisham is midway between Diss and Thetford on the Norfolk-Suffolk border and the sighting is not the first in the area, with Suffolk named a UFO hotspot earlier this year.

UFO was like a 'ball of flames'
Source
A MYSTERY UFO was spotted in the sky heading towards Gatwick Airport on Saturday night.
The Parker family from Mutton Hall Hill said they saw an object which looked like a ball of flames.
It appeared to be taking the usual flight path of planes coming in northwards from the continent towards Gatwick or Heathrow.
But it suddenly veered off to the east before going out of sight.Karl Parker said:
'It could have been a military flare of some sort as it appeared to go with the prevailing wind.'
