A resident has been left mystified after spotting two strange blue lights floating in the sky above her house on Friday evening.

Paulina, 39, who lives on Thornham Drive in Sharples, describes how she was looking out of her window on last Friday (November 29) at around 9.45pm when she witnessed two strange blue lights hovering above her garden.

Paulina, who went into the garden with her children to inspect the mysterious lights, was able to capture them on video.

She is keen for anyone to help try and identify what it was and says it was very strange that it did not make any noise, nor did it have any beams that might have come from a laser.

Paulina said: “It was shocking, I was just looking through my window when I saw the lights outside.

"I ran out the house straight away and started recording it.

(Image: Paulina F.) “It wasn’t lasers, there were no beams, nothing like that. No trail of any beams.

“It was just there in the sky. It’s so strange. I’ve never seen anything like this, it looks like a spaceship.

“About four miles away there is a train station with workers but come on! It’s not even in that direction and there was no trace of where the lights had come from.

“I’ve sent it to my friends, but no one can say what it is. My partner thinks there might have been a party, but there was no music or anything.

“It lasted about 10 minutes and was moving slightly slowly to the right. Someone has to explain this to the public, there must be an explanation.

(Image: Paulina F.) “I thought maybe a satellite, it was looking like a UFO, it is very unexplainable as to why it was there.

“All of a sudden, the lights just blinked out, they slowly flickered out. There was nothing to it, but there must be some explanation.

“The public want answers, it was strange to me and my kids. They don’t seem like the Northern lights either. There was just two of them.”

Network Rail has been contacted for comment, instances of similar lights were reported to be from a railway ballast tamping machine, which uses lasers.
