THE night sky did more to light up the lives of Herefordshire residents on Saturday night than England's World Cup bid.

A few hours after England failed to win their opening game against the USA, a number of Hereford Times readers saw a strange spectacle that made for more intriguing viewing than events in South Africa.

Readers contacted us to report seeing strange circular lights from Wormelow, Tillington and Mordiford at around midnight.

Robin Hooper, who saw strange moving lights over woods in the Mordiford area, said: "I went out to lock up and saw these two oval light patterns going back and forth over the entire length of the woods with no apparent beam from the ground up.

"It intrigues me as I have never seen anything like this before."

Do you see any strange lights on Saturday? If so, please give Mark Bowen a ring on 01432 845877.
