A bright flashing light has been spotted in the sky in south east London for the second night in a row.

The first video, filmed on Tuesday night near Orpington High Street, shows the light moving and waving in the sky over what looks to be north Kent.

It flashes in different speeds and alternates in brightness for the full 22 seconds of the video.

Local resident Stephen Sangster filmed the mysterious sky-occupier and told the News Shopper that suggestions initially ranged from aliens or a laser show to an open air cinema.

Following the mystery, Stephen and his son went on a mission to see if the flashing light was back in the sky again on Wednesday night.

Once again, he saw and filmed the "odd" unmissable light waving from side to side from a distance in the sky.

Stephen told the News Shopper that the most common answer he's had is that the light is coming from an open air cinema at Brand Hatch - but he doesn't know why they would project light into the air.

Stephen said: "I think it is a very powerful spotlight but for what purpose I don’t know.

"With that sort of power they should be informing CAA as it has potential to interfere with aircraft."

Stephen's research on the CAA database only showed one warning about a spotlight - which was all the way at Hever Castle with only a one mile radius warning.

Instead he said he is "going out tonight on a vigilante hunt to get to the bottom of it".

One Twitter user told Stephen that they had been driving from Vigo to Sidcup last week and they saw "two spotlights in a field that could be seen for miles".

Another social media user commented that the "very strange" light is always in the same movement and lasts just a couple of minutes.

Stephen agreed with his wondering-companions that this is "very odd" and said he is "determined" to get to the bottom of it.

So, watch this space - quite literally!
