Have you seen a UFO over the region?

MORE and more people are claiming they saw UFOs in Flintshire during the Christmas period.

Last week, the Leader reported on the sighting, made by Harry Hughes, of Mynydd Isa, as he was going out to his shed on Christmas Day.

Mr Hughes saw several orange-red orbs moving "faster than a plane" through the air, and glowing in the night sky. The incident matched a sighting over Wrexham last year.

Now, three more reports have come in from people saying they saw the same objects on the same day.

David Clark, of Elwy Close in Bryn y Baal, says he can confirm that everything Mr Hughes says is correct.

He said: "It is absolutely true what he says. There were three very bright lights which suddenly separated and one looked like it shot straight up at high speed.

"At first we thought they were balloons or planes but they were going too fast and they didn't look like planes.

"There was no noise whatsoever and they were going so fast. I have never seen anything like it before."

We published the story of the latest incident on our website, and users have flocked to view the details.

A Mrs Coulton, from Mold, des
cribed how her family were left perplexed after seeing orange coloured lights.

She said: "The light was a fair way off, it was coming towards us then stopped went backwards, stayed still for about four or five minutes, then faded away. It was really strange. It was definitely there, was not a firework, star, helicopter, or plane. We really don't know what it was."

Marie Davies, of Chester Road in Mold, was driving from Holywell to Halykn on Christmas day when she spotted a red light low in the sky at 7pm.

She said: "At first I thought it was the moon but it was too low in the sky. It was flame red and was standing still over the Dee Estuary way.

"I couldn't believe my eyes. I would like to see it again. I don't drink so it wasn't that. There was no way it was an aeroplane. It was very weird."
