LINCOLNSHIRE is proving a tourism hotspot for little green men and their flying saucers, government statistics suggest. The latest figures released by the Ministry of Defence state the number of UFO sightings in the county is on the up.
And that includes on our patch.
Last year there were eight close encounters of the first kind - three more than the five reported in both 2007 and 2006.
"Twelve lights in the sky," were reported to the MoD at Kirton on November 14 at 4.50pm, the witness report states.
"The lights started to fade and then two more brighter lights came towards the first 12.
"They were not in any formation."
A week later there was another sighting, this time at Stickford.
It was 11.30pm on November 21.
This time the statement described: "A cloud-type dull light with no noise, 100-200ft from the witness' house.
"Was moving in an arc continuously at speed, from left to right."
So are there aliens living among us or are these reports the cases of crank calls or mistaken lights in the sky?
Could ET, Mork, ALF, Marvin the Martian or even a Klingon or two be visiting us?
And what are they looking for?
Perhaps they were just stopping by on their way for a family holiday at Butlins?
The truth is out there…
