Mysterious orange object spotted in the skies over Bootle

Are we truly alone in the universe?

It seems Merseyside is a location which is constantly providing ‘evidence’ of life beyond our earthly borders

Just this week a worker at the Port of Liverpool was able to record an orange object hurtling through the skies

Was it a comet? A Rocket? Or something else 👽

Ever since the 1960s, Liverpool is known as a UFO hotspot to alien enthusiasts when UFO fever hit the UK and the Merseyside area in particular

For such intelligent and rational creatures, we have long been infatuated by tales of mysticism, legend, and other worlds

Some of the UFO reports on Merseyside range from bright lights to triangular and star shape objects in the sky

"I watched almost mesmerised and then it suddenly shot off diagonally and disappeared. Very weird.”

ECHO readers share their experiences after an unusual bright object was spotted hovering outside someone's bedroom window in Formby

Official records show that there have been 33 sightings of UFOs on Merseyside between 1997-2009

Earlier this year, dog walker, Anthony Douglas spotted a bright light moving across the sky - it wasn't the first time he had seen strange things in the skies over Knowsley

Can you see it?

Going all the way back, we can see there was some problem describing what was seen

Take a look at this Liverpool Echo headline from the 1960's

'Plate'? 🧐

One of the first significant sightings in the area was reported to newspapers in May 1966.

Police officer Donald Cameron spotted six white lights and claimed he'd seen the 'Mothership'

On October 26, one Peter Murphy made the front page of the Liverpool Echo after he claimed to have seen a UFO near Croxteth Hall.

He went to the scene with a PC David Jackson when both men searched the field for the supposed missile but found nothing.

Another UFO story was published in the ECHO, this time concerning Judith Crane of, Upton

Shewas returning home with her friend Patricia Perry when the pair spotted "strange lights" hovering over the Weston Grove.

It made a "throbbing noise" before heading towards Chester

UFO sightings were not limited to humans...

Neil Piper and his Alsation Tex were patrolling Birkenhead Corporation housing estate when they were startled by a mysterious flying disc

We're not sure whether all this has proven the case one way or another but we do know one thing...

The Truth Is Out There! 🙃
