A Farnworth resident has been left mystified after spotting three strange objects in the sky.

Stuart MacDonald, 62, was walking his dog on Frederick Street, close to where he lives, when he saw a bright orange light in the sky one after the other.

Stuart was unable to capture the first unidentified object – UFO.

But after rushing for his phone, he managed to capture the second and third light in the sky on video on Wednesday evening at almost 8pm.

He is keen for anyone to help try and identify what it was and say it was very strange that it did not make a sound.

Stuart says the bright light in the sky is the moon, and it is the other orange lights he is questioning.

He said: “I see planes and commercial aircraft all the time, and it wasn’t either.

Commercial planes usually have flashing lights, but it was just bright orange light, going quite fast, and quite high.

“There was also no sound and it was very strange.

“I still don’t know what it was.”

Stuart says that although he does not know whether it was aliens, he is open to the possibility, and believes there is more to uncover.

“I am open to it being aliens, but I want someone to say what it is because it was so strange.

“I did wonder about drones, but I suspect they were too high to be drones.”

It is not the first time he says he has seen UFOs - Stuart says he thinks he saw one after coming back from France.

There have been a number of UFO sightings in Bolton since January this year.

Last month Stephen Maloney, from Sharples, said he saw a UFO for the second time within three weeks of each other.

And according to UFO Identified as many as 10 UFOs were reported  to them in Bolton in May last year.

Greater Manchester has one of the highest UFO sightings in the country according to UFO database website, UFO Identified.
