STRANGE flying objects have been spotted in the skies above Emley Moor.
What appears to be five objects flying in perfect formation were seen by Examiner readers at about 3pm yesterday.
The Red Arrows type fly-by of Emley Moor Mast is so far unexplained.
There were no reports of airshows in the area yesterday afternoon.
And Moldgreen reader Mark Windle, who took this photo, said: "It looked to me as if they were objects that were burning up in the atmosphere. There was another plane in the sky and it looked different."
Another onlooker said that as soon as she saw the lights she went to get her camera.
But the objects were travelling fast, and by the time she returned with her camera they had disappeared.
"We usually have planes flying past but not in such a regular formation," she said. "It was very strange."
