I haven't seen anything on the news, but this reportsays, "A "spectacular" display of dozens of UFOs has been reported in the skies over the West Midlands. "

Anyone near Halesowen see anything?

    You mean the regular visits by intergalactic proctologists in search of patients, esp. from the USA

    Are those the ones who tell scientologists and other moonbat ufo cults that they're all barking, with the phrase, "Get it right up ye."?

    I've often wondered how peoples 'world view' would change if an alien race did actually turn up: God? What's that?

    Has anybody heard anything else about this ?
    I was driving in W London last night and I saw four slow moving lights in the sky. My first thought twas that they were helicopters. I stopped at a red light , openened my window but heard nothing. Two more lights paseed overhead behind the first four. Other people had clearly seen them , they had their heads out of their car windows just like me !

    I've heard these 'floating paper lanterns' are an optical illusion caused by planes in ice-laden air. They are high up and you don't hear them, or normally spot them, but the phenomena means their front lights form a halo-like effect and they seem to drift quite quickly. In fact, they ae following the normal flight paths and you haven't seen them before because of cloud cover.

    Nanoo nanoo
