Sheffield UFO sighting sparks dozens of calls
THE truth is out there - and Star readers are determined to find it after reading about mysterious orange lights seen in the area last Friday night.
Paul and Elaine Greenwood of Meadowhead weren't the only ones to see the phenomenon - dozens of readers called with their own sightings.
Most corroboration came from people in the south and south east of the city, who all saw soundless lights travelling south to north in perfectly straight lines.
Philip Batty of Old Whittington, Chesterfield, saw lights following a line north roughly along the Unstone-Dronfield bypass.
Carol Didlock from Aston witnessed a similar sight she simply could not explain. Other sightings came from the north of the city slightly later on, from Chapeltown and Burncross.
Some readers said Chinese lanterns were the cause, but observers insist the lights were much higher and moving far too quickly for that.
