Readers have since got in touch to say they have seen similar objects.

NHS worker Alexa Hughes, from Fareham, said she was leaving the house of one of her patients last Wednesday at around 9pm when she spotted strange lights in Mays Lane, Stubbington.

‘I was on my way home when I saw them,’ she said.

‘I pulled over and started filming it. The way they were moving freaked me out.

‘I started shaking when it looked like they were getting closer, which made me drop my phone.’

She said the lights were flashing and changing colours from green to pink and purple.

She added: ‘At first I thought it was an helicopter or a drone. But they were too big for that.’

She called her ex-husband Mark Hughes, who was with their nine-year-old son Leland and friend Layla Hutfield, and they caught a glimpse of two of the lights.

Another reader Collins Bojant, 69, from Waterloo Street, in Southsea, said she also saw something similar at around 1am on Friday.

Scores of people have commented on The News’ Facebook page, some saying they have seen the object although many believe the lights are caused by a drone.
