The truth is out there, and it is hovering above Thornton Heath.
A woman in her sixties claims she has seen mysterious lights above her Thornton Heath home for nearly a month.
Every night the Trafford Road resident sees the unexplained orbs high above the flight path of airplanes, hovering for hours at a time.
The woman, who asked not to be named, claims the unidentified flying objects are circular in shape and have a series of flashing lights very different to that of mainstream terrestrial aircraft.
The concerned resident said: “I can’t beleive no one else has seen these things.
"They are here almost every night. I just don’t know what they are.
"They fly higher than airplanes but they don’t move like any aircraft I have ever seen.
"Sometimes they hover, very still and sometimes they dart about the sky.
“My sister told me that I should get in touch with someone to tell them I just don’t know who to speak to.
"The lights only ever appear when it is dark."
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: “The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.
"Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported."
