Video: Was it a UFO? Strange contrails spotted in skies above Grimsby this morning
HAS a UFO been spreading a message of love over North East Lincolnshire?
Or is there a more down-to-earth explanation for the strange heart-shaped contrails spotted by our eagle-eyed photographers this morning?
Among the readers to have called in already with their theories is Philip Greenfield, who said it had been a pleasant surprise to see the shapes appearing over Waltham Windmill.
Speaking as he watched the trails being formed, he said: “I think they must be jet fighters, as they are so high up.

“One has just come down a bit lower and I think it’s probably a Eurofighter from RAF Coningsby.”

“Was it aliens, UFO?
What a load of rubbish!
It was two RAF Typhoon aircraft performing flat turns or figure of eight turns between 24 and 35000 ft .
You could see them come up north ,start the turns and in the turns but only if you looked well in advance of the contrails they produced.
An unusual event over land, nice to see, nothing to worry about but it was a shame they were not practising Fighter V Fighter.
That would have been dramatic!”

“We were playing golf at Laceby Manor and saw the usual airliners crossing the sky. Next time we looked up we saw the patterns and thought they had just been caused by circulating air currents.”

“Those are so obviously chemtrails. It looks like a plane went sputtering out of control while spraying. Good, I hope it went down. Wake up, watch the movie "What In The World Are They Spraying?" ...........then watch "Why In The World Are They Spraying?"”

“If the source cannot be identified then of course it was a UFO. The term does not just relate to Aliens.. As most posters on his site report, it probably was military fighter aircraft. Either that, or caused by hot air spouting from nelc council chambers meeting the cold upper atmosphere.
The GT appear to have a fixation on contrails, perhaps a Royal visit or something will change the subject! (only joking) Are we so short of news?”
