WAS it a bird? Was it a plane? Was it a UFO? Or was it an elaborate election stunt prepared by a Senatorial candidate?
Well, none of those, actually. It turns out that that the mystery red lights witnessed by a bemused couple in St Lawrence at the weekend were nothing more than candle-lit lanterns, similar to miniature hot air balloons.
St John resident Paul Fosse contacted the JEP to clear up the confusion after seeing the appeal on Tuesday for help in solving the mystery.
Clive and Jane Feltham-Fletcher were the couple who had first questioned the background to the strange red lights, which they saw streaking across the sky on Saturday at about 10.30 and 11.30 pm.
