A REDDITCH man has had an encounter of the blurred kind after spotting strange lights in the sky.

The man, who wanted to remain anonymous, spotted four strange orange or yellow lights hovering above his house in Mappleborough Green last Friday, September 25 at about 8pm.

The orbs hung in the sky for a few minutes as the man struggled to get hold of a phone or camera to tape the incident.

All four of the lights then sped off into the distance and disappeared.

“I have never seen anything like this before in my life,” he said.

“I had not been drinking and called my wife to have a look and she saw them as well. Unfortunately they disappeared before we were able to get any pictures but it was definitely weird.”
