THE skies above Southwick were lit by a strange light on Monday morning.

Roger White was looking out of his kitchen window at around 5.55am when he noticed two pulsating shapes.

As he watched the lights move slowly from west to east he noticed they were being tracked by two aircraft.

"I watched the lights for a long time, they were moving very slowly. One veered off so I could not see it, but I watched the other one for about six minutes," said Mr White.

He has lived in the village for 30 years and has witnessed unexplained lights in the past. "They were very bright and I am sure other people would have seen them," he added.
