This news story emerged on Friday: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20081219/tuk-mystery-lights-over-the-midlands-45dbed5.html . The photograph I use to illustrate this article is not one of the event reported herein, but one taken during the most famous other “lights in the sky” case: the Phoenix Lights in March 1997; the descriptions of this new case sound very similar. The UFO flap of this past year appears to be still going strong! It also seems to be centred in the area of Birmingham, the Black Country and environs. I’ve sent emails to everyone I know in that area to see if they’ve seen anything. I’ll mention below if I get any replies (protecting my witnesses’ anonymity of course.)
