Coastguard told of strange lights in sky over Harris

  • Published

The coastguard has investigated reports of unusual lights in the night sky over South Harris in the Western Isles.

Stornoway Coastguard received the report from a member of the public at about 2240 GMT on Thursday.

The caller said there were two amber lights and a flashing blue-green light for two to three minutes before a white light hovered for a few seconds, and was later obscured by cloud.

The incident was classed as a false alarm with good intent.

Leverburgh Coastguard Team investigated the report over Northton in South Harris.
