A man is hoping Evening News readers can help shed some light on mysterious objects he spotted in the skies above Norwich.

Engineer David Self, 56, says he saw eleven bright orange globes flying over his home in Thorpe Marriot at about 10pm on Saturday night, heading towards the coast.

He says they moved at around the speed of a plane, and took around 20 minutes to fly out of eyesight.

Mr Self, of Old Warren, said: “All I can say is that it was an unidentified flying object - you can rule out helicopters and planes because I would have heard them at that height. They were not balloons because there as no wind.

“They were very strange and I don't know to say about them. These were not little glimmers - they were bright burning lights like something re-entering our atmosphere, but they were too low for that.”
