UFOs or drones? Strange lights spotted in Cumbria’s skies

Strange lights have been spotted in skies across Cumbria.

Large bright circular objects have been spotted low down in the sky in Kendal, Windermere and Egremont.

It comes after unidentified objects were also photographed and recorded flying towards an RAF base in Cornwall earlier this week.

It is not known if the objects are connected to a number of unidentified drones that were spotted over military RAF bases in the South of England over the past few weeks, as reported by the BBC.

A walker – who does not wish to be named – photographed one of the objects in Egremont.

The individual said the object made no noise and appeared to be much larger and brighter than anything they had ever seen in the night sky before.

They added it was spotted much lower than where planets or satellites are typically seen.

Others have also taken to social media to share similar images of the unidentified objects that they claimed were as big as a car.

These lights were spotted over Vulcan Park in Workington at around 5am on December 1 by Jenna Holliday:
