Merseyside has long been considered a UFO hotspot
Charlotte, 32, from Birkenhead , was out with her friend on Wednesday evening, April 24, enjoying the sunset over Leasowe Bay, from New Brighton . The two friends were deep in conversation when they spotted the mystery lights over the horizon and began recording what they saw on their phones.
Speaking to the ECHO, Charlotte said: "I wasn't scared when I saw it, but I was shocked. We were having a conversation together, and all of a sudden we saw these lights. It was quite beautiful to see.Charlotte said she has seen similar things in the past, including unexplained lights from her back garden and a "black triangle in the sky".
Last month, the ECHO published an interactive map showing UFO sightings over Merseyside. In its annual report, the research group UFO Identified documented 395 sightings in the UK in 2023 - a 20% drop from 497 sightings in 2022 and lower than in 2021 and 2020 . That adds up to 1,789 sightings in four years.
