At the end of last year, The Courier was inundated with calls after a disc or wedge-shaped object was photographed ''hovering'' in the sky above the county. Scores of readers reported seeing the white light at 2pm on December 29, before it disappeared a few minutes later.
A deluge of possible explanations flooded in. While many correctly identified it as a cloud, other theories ranged from little green men to top secret military spy planes, or a streak on the lens of the camera that had taken the original shot. After careful consideration of the image, the British UFO Research Association identified the object as a 'moon dog' — a type of ice cloud that is usually invisible.
