A strange orange glow was observed in the coastal waters near the town of Bangor in County Down in Northern Ireland.

The pictures were taken in the evening, when the coast was enveloped in fog. According to local resident Jackie, it almost certainly was not a glare from the Sun or the glow from the lights of divers.

"These lights sometimes flickered, turned off and again turning on at random intervals. What could it be?".

Jackie even went in the wrong direction, but did not see on the shore one of the men.

These lights were seen from another district Bangor Stricklands Glen. Eyewitness Eva O'connor describes that first rose a strange mist, and then appeared the "peachy glow" on the water, which was particularly intense in the center.

"Unusual double-layer fog, when we went for a walk on the beach. When we saw the glow, that thought that somehow the sun broke through a hole in the clouds. I believe in the supernatural, but when you see something unusual, I always try to find a logical cause of the incident".

When a strange glow appeared on the local town Facebook page, two diving club Bangor immediately denied communion to the lights and said that none of their members not dived in this time in this place.

Mainly in the comments to the pictures was a lot of jokes about an alien invasion or a submarine "preparing for Broksita", but the mystery of the orange lights of Bangor and remained unsolved.

Original news

A pair of strange lights were spotted in the shallows near a British seaside town, leaving locals more than just a bit baffled - with one joking that it could be 'an alien invasion'.

The bizarre luminous presence was photographed in the waters off Bangor in County Down, Northern Ireland, with many people uploading their images to the Internet to share the mystery.

Local Facebook page Bangor Life shared one person's photo, writing: "One of our local residents Jackie sent in this photo of mysterious lights under the water.

"She walked round to try and find out what it was.

"[There was] no evidence of divers; i.e. no bubbles and nothing left on the shore line.

"They flickered at times, coming on and off at random intervals. Any idea what they could be? Is this the start of an alien invasion!?"

People had spotted the mysterious lights from the Stricklands Glen area of Bangor.

Another witness, Eve O'Connor, explained the lights had appeared after a 'strange fog' lifted, saying: "It was like two pinky peach sheens on the water that were concentrated in the middle.

"There had been a strange on-off fog as soon as we had left for the coastal path. I thought maybe it was the sun breaking through in a strangely specific way.

"I do believe in supernatural occurrences, but if I see something strange I like to first think of what the logical reasons may be behind it."

But many others have also struggled to find the logic in what happened, with local diver Mark Piper admitting that, while the site was frequented by himself and others, nobody from the local diving community had come forward to say it was them.

"I asked around the two local clubs but no takers," he said.

"It's a popular site at this time of year so it could be anybody really."

Some people didn't seem phased in the slightest by the odd light show, with a few making the inevitable Brexit jokes.

"It's Theresa May trying to find somewhere useful to put the Irish border after Brexit," one person commented.

Another quipped that it must have been a 'dreadnought class British submarine getting ready for Brexit'.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Boat (watercraft)

Any watercraft, particularly of unusual shape, can be made for NGOs.

Watercraft (i.e. "craft") is self-propelled or non-self-propelled floating structure used in a water environment. These include: a warship, cargo ship, barge, pontoon, floating berth, yacht, oil platform, raft, fishing boat, submarine, submersible, floating crane, etc.

Such vessels can have not only an unusual shape but colour, be equipped with illumination, and also have sails and other protruding parts.

Mounting

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)

The reflection in the water

When the smooth surface of the pond picture of a landscape reflected in it, a little different from the pictures of the landscape. In this case, the water may contain various defects (e.g. stones, branches, ripples, etc.) that can be mistaken for something unexplained.
