UFO spotted over Hemel
Did you see a UFO in the skies above Hemel Hempstead last night?
Tannsmore Close resident Curtis Miall did, and he and sent us this photo and video clip to prove it.
He said: "It was about 10.20pm and we were watching TV.
"I just saw an orange sparkling light through the French windows - it looked like an orange star.
"It started moving across the sky.
"It was around for about five minutes - then it just went."
Mr Miall's sighting comes days after a wind turbine in Lincolnshire was damaged, sparking claims of a UFO collision.
The incident in Conisholme in the early hours of Sunday (January 4) saw one 20m blade broken off the turbine and another blade badly damaged.
Hemeltoday readers have speculated that Mr Miall's sighting could have been a flying Chinese lantern.
Jackie Chambers emailed the website to say: "I believe them to be Chinese lanterns.
"There have been various reports over the last 18 months of UFO's in different parts of the country, and I think this is what they are.
She added: "Chinese lanters are in the shape of a lantern but you light them and let them go.
"If several people are letting them go together, they go in a line which people could interpret as a formation."
Pat Yirrell, of Hemel Hempstead, added: "I could not see anything much on (Mr Miall's] video.
"It could well have been one of those 'candle parachutes' that were floating about a few years ago.
"We saw one in close-up once. They appear to be orange."
