Residents in Lowestoft are once again asking the question: what’s really in our skies?
A mysterious object was reportedly spotted above the town in the early hours of March 27, 2026, with witnesses describing flashing green and red lights moving silently across the sky.
The sighting first emerged in local social media groups on the same day, with multiple users claiming they saw the same unusual lights hovering briefly before disappearing.
While no official explanation has been confirmed, the colours and movement have sparked speculation with some suggesting drones, others aircraft… and a few convinced it could be something far stranger.
Lowestoft and the wider Suffolk coast have a surprisingly rich history of unexplained sightings.
From strange lights over the North Sea to unexplained aerial activity inland, the area has long been part of Britain’s UFO folklore.
Some locals even point to the region’s proximity to former military sites and open coastline as possible reasons for the repeated sightings.
It might sound far-fetched, but Busy airspace corridors can sometimes create confusing visual effects And yes… some believe coastal locations are ideal “entry points” for visitors from another planet.
Let’s be real there’s currently no evidence this was anything extraterrestrial.
But that hasn’t stopped the speculation.
Because when something moves silently, flashes unusual colours, and vanishes without a trace… people notice.
And in a town like Lowestoft, those stories travel fast.
