Unexplained Lights Over the Bard's Home Town

More than 100 people had a close encounter of the X-Files kind when they saw five unexplained flying objects hovering over a town centre.

Dozens of people spilled out of a pub to watch the spectacle – with one likening it to the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster Independence Day.

The UFOs lit up the otherwise clear night's sky above William Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon- Avon in Warwickshire.
