Nina Griffiths, of Mold, says her eight-year-old daughter Demi-Lee caught sight of strange orange lights in the sky when she was playing in her bedroom on December 23.

Demi-Lee managed to take pictures of the mysterious objects on her camera.

Nina said: "Demi-Lee was in her bedroom playing and decided to take the pictures of her own accord. She came down to show me and I did think it was a bit strange, but then I forgot about it until I read the articles in the Evening Leader.

"When I showed Demi-Lee, she got quite excited and said 'I told you so!' I really can't explain what these objects were."

David Allman, of Durham Road, Blacon, was with friends at St Theresa's Social Club on Boxing Day when he also saw some unusual lights.

He said: "Someone was outside having a cigarette when they saw some little fiery balls in the sky. I went out and there was about 14 of us who saw it and it was so odd. There was a straight line of about three in the sky and they weren't falling like fireworks would.

"Three came fairly close together and then there was a space and two more.

"When we told people they joked and said we'd been drinking, but we all saw it and it was strange."

Steve and Anna Jones, of Upton, also caught sight of something strange on New Year's Eve.

Steve said: "I was leaning out of an upstairs window in our house smoking at about 9.30pm. I happened to look to the east and saw four orange lights, that were travelling between one and two minutes apart.

"They were moving west and looked like they were travelling too slow to be aircraft. There were no flashing lights and no sound at all. I have no idea what they were."

Anna added: "My 14 year old son had been out with his friends in Kingsway, Chester, at about the same time as Steve saw the lights. He came home and said that he and his friends had seen seven orange lights in the sky that were travelling very fast, about one minute apart.

"He said they were completely silent and then slowed down, before shooting off quickly.

"My son is quite cynical and doesn't believe in that sort of thing usually, but he said he definitely saw something.

"It is quite worrying that so many people have reported seeing these things and that nobody knows what they are."

Paula Norgrove, also of Upton, saidd: "I saw three gold lights in the sky in Hoole on New Year's Eve. They moved very fast but made no noise at all.

"I also saw another similar gold light a few days later at about 3am in Upton. This one didn't move at all, it just stayed still and I watched it for about 10 minutes."

I have a couple of comments really... 1- Has ANYONE bothered to talk to an astronomer yet about these lights? I see lots of purported "eyewitness" accounts in these articles , yet not a single person among them who could be considered knowledgeable on aerial phenomena!
2- Why is it that these "amazing" photos and videos and whatnot always turn out to show nothing more than (for example) a bunch of nondescript amorphous "blobs" that dance and weave about the screen EXACTLY as they would if the person taking the film was shaking the camera!!
