Mystery 'UFO' filmed flying over UK

English 'alien hunters' are on high alert after footage has surfaced of a series of strangely blinking lights, flashing in a misty nighttime sky.

The unusual sighting is currently under investigation by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in the US.

The unidentified male witness claimed he and a co-worker saw the lights in the sky.

"I went outside with my workmate to get some materials out of the van and noticed one light slowly move around the back of a building," he said in a witness statement.

“Then another one appeared from behind the building at a set distance that did not change.

“Seconds after another three appeared as if they was already there but were not lit up.”

Footage taken by the eyewitness shows a series of lights slowly moving in the fog.

“At this point two lights where visible and after another minute or two, the two visible lights got further and further away," he said in his statement.

“One stopped and one seemed to carry on barely being a visible light source.”

He said they appeared to swing around again in formation.

“At this point we ran back inside the building to try and get a better view from the roof," he said.

However the thick fog prevented them from getting a better look.

“With the fog we could not see anything so ran back down at which point they where nowhere to be seen.”

The witness believes the lights cannot be accounted for, arguing the lights couldn't have been located on the ground.

"It couldn’t have been search lights shining up from the ground as we could clearly see the lights’ surface area getting wider as it shone down," he said, "meaning the light source was in the sky."

But sceptics have already weighed in to claim they're simply the lights of a crane.

"About the five mystery lights filmed above #Basingstoke, I think could be lights from a tower/mobile crane," tweeted Scott Brando, a UFO debunker.

"There are many people who disagree with the possible explanation (lights from a crane), forgetting that misty conditions can cause misrepresentations."
