'The aliens are coming': Mystery lights in skies over Doncaster
The lights are thought to come from a Doncaster industrial estate
Mystery lights have been spotted in the skies over Doncaster - jokingly sparking suggestions of an alien invasion.
Numerous residents have reported seeing the skies over the city lit up in recent days, with many speculating on the cause.


One shared to social media: “This is gonna sound really weird, but for past couple of weeks, me and my missus have been sat here watching clouds from around 9pm.
“They start flashing. Has anyone else noticed? It’s quite fun to watch, but very strange.
“We keep saying the aliens are coming to earth!”
Another said: “We were travelling home down the M18 a few nights ago and noticed this flashing. It was a building near Amazon. All of these lights were flashing at the same time making it look for miles as if the sky itself was flashing.”
Another wrote: “I have just seen this from my back windows.”
And another added: “I could swear that the clouds were flashing as well but I assumed it was my eyes. Well weird.”
Another responded: “It’s coming from Rossington. I noticed it a little while ago and kept bugging me - somewhere down the Bankwood Industrial Estate.”
“It’s the lights from Bankwood Industrial Estate,” another posted.
