Is this the moment UK stargazers spot the flashing lights of UFO circling the sky?

MULTIPLE residents reported strange goings-on in the skies about Bootle, Anfield and Kirkby in Liverpool.

IS this proof extra terrestrials are watching us from the skies?

Stargazers were left baffled after spotting strange lights circling the skies of Merseyside in Liverpool.

Multiple residents reported flashing lights in the Bootle, Anfield and Kirkby areas of the city.

The Liverpool Echo reports a number of people on Facebook and Twitter queried the strange goings-on.

Stephen Carrison said: “Why lights in sky above Bootle and Walton, zigzagging about.. what is it?”

Nikita Odonoghue suggested it may be extra terrestrial activity, adding: “What are these ahaha spaceships invading.” alongside a picture and an alien face emoji.

@SaintMikethe1st also thought it may be paranormal activity: “Anything on in town? Three mad lights on the clouds, might be UFOs. [sic]”

However @UKEFC has a slightly more sensible explanation, tweeting: “3 weird lights in the sky in the vicinity of the racecourse. Cross crossing spotlights on the clouds – where from?”
