UFO mystery two decades old
Thursday, 10am - UFO sightings reported in the Journal in recent weeks brought memories flooding back for Trevor Rickards. Trevor took this picture on the bridge over the A1 at Gorse Lane in 1982 - and the two white lights in the sky have been a mystery to him ever since.
Trevor, of Prestwick Close, has followed the UFO stories in recent weeks and stumbled across the picture, years after losing it.
He said: "I had slipped the picture into an old English to French dictionary and it fell out when I was moving some books around so I thought I would send it in.
"I have absolutely no idea what it is, it's an absolute mystery to me. When I took the picture there was definitely nothing in the sky.
"When I first saw the picture I showed it to the people at the photographic club but they couldn't explain it either."
David Pepperdine also contacted the Journal with memories of a UFO sighting from years gone by.
He was driving towards Somerby roundabout when something in the sky caught his eye.
He said: "I noticed to my right, a row of very bright lights just above the horizon. The lights moved into an inverted V shape, higher in the sky.
"At the roundabout I turned right and by the time I had reached the High Dyke turn they were getting brighter again and seemed to be travelling towards me before turning away towards the north-west."
Mr Pepperdine cannot remember when he saw the UFO's but hopes readers can help identify the date as the event was marked by a report on Radio Lincolnshire.
