After Harry Hughes of Mynydd Isa first reported seeing five orange lights in the sky on Christmas Day, the Leader has received reports of more sightings on a daily basis.

Ten-year-old James Holmes, of Rhydymwyn, said: "On the night of Sunday, January 6, at around 1am, I was woken up by some strange white lights spiralling across my bedroom ceiling.

"I wasn't frightened because I live near a football club and the Rhydymwyn Institute which has a very bright light at night. I knew it wasn't them because I was used to them.

"When I got up in the morning, I heard my mum talking about lights so I guess she saw them too.

"My mum thought it was the wind moving a tree so that the light of a lamppost behind the tree would move, but I don't think it was because my bedroom is on the other side of the house to hers.

"We then thought it may have been a search helicopter but there wasn't any noise. She said there were several of them in quick succession a few times that night."

After the Leader featured a number of incidents yesterday, including the famous Berwyn Mountain sighting in the 1970s, Gerard Coughlan, of Coed Onn Road, Flint, was prompted to recall an incident from the past.

He said: "I saw several disc-shaped objects flying at very high altitude and at great speed about 15 years ago from my outside my house.

"I looked up and thought it must be the Red Arrows, but then realised there was no sound at all and I could see very clearly that they were perfectly round in shape, and pale grey in colour.

"The other interesting thing was that they all kept changing positions at lightning speed, as if they were 'playing about'.

"They were travelling in a northerly direction and went from above my head to out of sight in about 30 seconds. I watched them the whole time but have never been able explain what they were.

"As an engineer, I am fully aware of what things look like, but cannot give any explanation as to what these 'saucers' were."
