On June 18, 2024, a family in Torpoint, Cornwall, witnessed a series of mysterious lights in the sky that they suspect could be UFOs. Charlotte Helyer described the lights as silent and moving in an unusual manner, floating left and right before fading into two bright balls of light that drifted away approximately six miles.
Initially considering the lights to be drones, Helyer noted that their behavior and distance suggested otherwise, as no drone controller could maintain connection at such range. The sighting occurred around 10:30 PM, leaving the family puzzled about the lights' origin.
Recent reports indicate an increase in UFO sightings across Cornwall, including a dog walker’s encounter with a peculiar light in Porthtowan on December 9, 2024, and a photographer capturing a blue object near a lunar halo on December 15, 2024. These incidents contribute to Cornwall's growing reputation as a hotspot for unexplained aerial phenomena.
