The latest alien invasion fears to hit the UK were in the city of Manchester in the north west of England, one eye witness said "We were thinking this is it”.
Unlike the recent sightings in Scotland that were caused by lanterns from a birthday party the sightings in Manchester may have been a meteor shower according to police.
Update: Having just watched the video I think these sightings may also be lanterns! what do you think they were?
Drivers blocked roads and people phoned the police after dozens of glowing orbs were spotted over a housing estate in one of Britain's biggest cities. Police had so many calls they sent officers to investigate the UFO mystery.

Thanks for the guess and flag Amy, I still think lanterns or maybe they could be from the planet Blog as their ships are very slow and out of date.

Thanks Emilio, much as I would love this to be a real sighting I think you are probably right!

Vinny, I like this story. It's good stuff. No, they're not real. According to their latest podcast, that is. They're denying their own reality. ;}

Thanks PEP, I take it these are not anything you have come across in your time at NASA! though I expect lanterns are a bit too low tech for NASA.

Thanks Rhonda, do you think they were aliens? or something more Earthly.

Vinny, I was afraid you would ask:)! Without being there, it simply looks like an orb to me. Nothing to worry about, for sure!

For some reason the Aliens seem to avoid Japan! They must like the British better!

Vinny, I like this story. general view point: with 250 bn, I repeat 250 bn galaxies out there, there are activities of other forms of intelligence. The problem with UFO sightings, the good ones rarly to see. Why ? So called UFOs are only to picture during low speed hovering. Since years NASA knows to picture them during high speed flight with Infrared cameras. White moving "spots" watching more and less interested space activties. If exisiting, we are probably of low interest, just a starting culture on the edge of destroying it's home planet.
