A STRANGE occurance have been spooking residents in Gravesend.

David Peters, 41, was entertaining friends at his house on Old Road West, Gravesend, when his friend called him out to the garden in the early hours of Saturday (July 3) to look at erratically flashing red and white lights in the sky.

Mr Peters said: “The lights formed a triangle and then started darting over the houses.

“I thought they might have been helicopters from Biggin air show, but they were so erratic, it must have been some sort of phenomenon.

“It was quite amazing. I’m usually very sceptical, but there was no real explanation for it.

“My friends thought they could have been UFOs.”

The welder has emailed the photos to his friend at the Ministry of Defence for analysis.

They are just Chinese floating lanterns. They can be seen on many nights, during the summer, especially at weekends.
