THIS eerie image was captured by a woman while she looked at properties for sale in Falmouth.

Dawn Challenger sent the pictures to the Falmouth Packet after they appeared on Google Earth, which gives a three-dimensional view of the earth, based on satellite imagery.

Dawn, who lives in Leicestershire but who stays with friends in Falmouth two or three times a year, said: "I was looking at locations of houses for sale on Google Earth, when I spotted these strange unexplained lights with projectory trails over Polmennor Road.

"Close together, too low for aircraft? What are they?"

The images clearly show two bright objects hovering above the houses.

They have a striking resemblance to the traditional depiction of Unidentified Flying Objects.

Dawn added: "I was in a country pub in Norfolk at the weekend and I showed it to some of the locals - the best they could come with was a flying battleship, but I don't think it's that!"

Can anyone shed some light on the mystery images?
