The strange lights in the sky above Moulton snapped by reader Paul Symeou


The cluster of lights were seen 'dancing' in the sky above Broadmead Avenue, Abington by hairdresser Paul Symeou, aged 44, at 11.50pm on Tuesday before being spotted again just ten minutes later by another man in Moulton.
Mr Symeou said: "I was lying on my bed with the windows and curtains open because it was so hot when all of a sudden the room turned pink.
"I didn't know what on earth it was. At first I thought it was a helicopter but there was absolutely no noise coming from it and in know helicopters don't have pink lights."
After Mr Symeou watched the lights for a few seconds they disappeared then returned five minutes later.
He said: "I'm 44 and quite level-headed, but I've never seen anything like this.
"They were dancing around the sky, it seemed as if they were looking for something. It was quite eerie.
"After they vanished for the second time I sat up for a couple of hours with my binoculars waiting for them to come back, but they never did."
While the lights were in the sky, Mr Symeou, who owns the Orius salon in Gold Street, claims they emitted smoke and a beam of light so bright it lit the whole area.
Just minutes after they were spotted in Abington, the lights were seen again in Moulton by a man who reported them to the national UFO group Contact International.
Group spokesman, Michael Soper said: "The man who contacted us was quite shaken by what he saw.
"He described it as an extremely bright light which lit up the whole countryside.
"He said it was travelling extremely fast but was silent and quite low in the sky.
"We've had some remarkable sightings over Northamptonshire over the years but it's odd to get two in one day, especially with photographs."
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) said the sighting would simply be logged rather than investigated.
An MOD spokesman said: "If there was a threat to national security we would investigate but we haven't had anything that we'd consider a threat so these kind of calls are just logged."
