More than two dozen UFO lights have been spotted over the skies of Inverness in one night. The sighting of 25 orange lights was made by a group of eight students who were holidaying in Foyers to celebrate completing their university courses. The women are adamant that these were not Chinese lanterns as the lights travelled across the skies in a straight line and were all equally spaced.
At one point during their strange half-hour experience, two of the lights almost collided, but then quickly changed direction to avoid contact. The women got in touch with the Highland News after reading about similar reports we have revealed over the past few months. The sighting happened the night before an RAF servicemen reported seeing an orange fireball in the sky over Inverness.
Sharon Martin, one of the women in the group, told the HN: "I had gone to bed but then there was a huge commotion from the others and I came out to see what was going on. "It was between 11 and midnight on Saturday, May 1, and what we saw was about 25 bright lights going across the sky. They came out from behind some trees and went across the sky all equally spaced.
"One of the girls initially said it must have been lanterns, but because of the way they were moving we are not so sure. It was so systematic." Sharon, who has just completed a complimentary health course at Napier University in Edinburgh, added: "These lights went on for about half an hour. They just appeared one after the other until there were 25 of them all in a straight line.
"There was no sound and the night was still, there was no wind. At one point, two of them almost collided into each other, but then moved off in separate directions.
"I really don't know what it was that we saw. They just gradually disappeared."
