Bright orange lights lit up the sky across Merseyside in what people said looked like an "alien invasion".
Dawn McKay-Dobbing caught the lights on camera from across the water in Wallasey this morning, which she initially believed were coming from a fire. Dawn said: "The whole sky was pulsing orange so my original thought of 'it was a fire' was dismissed because of the way it was flashing/pulsing."
Dawn was not the only person who took to Facebook and Twitter this morning to question where the lights were coming from. One person tweeted: "Don't know if they're burning something off at the Stanlow Oil Refinery but the sky's bright orange and I'm about 15 miles away."
