A series of UFOs were spotted over the Derbyshire border at the weekend.
Samantha Doleman and her family, who live in Newton Solney on the Staffordshire/ Derbyshire border, saw a series of strange lights in the sky from their garden on Saturday night.

Mrs Doleman was outside with her husband at 12.30am, clearing up aft
er a teenagers' party, when they both saw the UFOs.

Mrs Doleman said: "My husband yelled at me to come outside and what I saw was the most astounding, confusing thing I have ever witnessed.

"A series of orange lights flew across the sky, in pairs, numbering about 12. They passed over us and moved off just north of East Midlands Airport.

"In all it took just over five minutes for them to pass. Three teenage children saw them also from our window."

The said she reported the sighting to the police who said they would investigate at the airport, but she has had no response yet.

"I have no explanation for this," she said, "There was no aircraft noise, the sky was clear and we were of sound mind!"

"We watched with a sense of wonder and awe, trying hard to come up with logical solutions. Very bizarre!"

Sorry to give such a boring and practical explanation but these orange lights are a regular sight around this area. They are most probably Chinese Lanterns. The lanterns, referred to as 'Khoon Fay', are sold in Ripley around £3 each and are used by the Chinese to banish evil spirits.

They work like mini hot-air balloons and are completely silent and burn out after about 20 minutes.

The floating orbs appear to just fade away and they look like they are following each other - as they are pushed along by the wind.

So I don't think the martians have landed in Derbyshire just yet!!!
