MYSTERIOUS "dancing lights" reported to be UFOs flying over North Wiltshire left residents baffled on Thursday.

A number of callers phoned Swindon UFO Research after spotting the strange flickerings in the night sky.

But Cirencester College has revealed it was all part of its sparkling open day display.

The college used two search lights to illuminate the site for its event on Thursday night, which had reflected all the way over to Wiltshire.

Cirencester College spokesman Sara Popp said the search lights had previously been used in November but the cloudy sky had masked the beams.

Vice principal Desna McAll said: "We are delighted that so many visitors from all over the galaxy were attracted to our recent open day."
