Via the Daily Mail…
A crowd of 100 stunned stargazers brought a town centre to a standstill when five mysterious UFOs were spotted hovering in the sky.
Drinkers spilled out of pubs, motorists stopped to gawp and camera phones were aimed upwards as the five orbs, in a seeming formation, hovered above Stratford-Upon-Avon for half an hour.
The unidentified flying objects lit up the otherwise clear night sky above Shakespeare’s birthplace in Warwickshire on Saturday.

Police are trying to trace the owner of 65,400 euros (£44,000) mistakenly sent to a 16-year-old boy who bought a Playstation Two for £95 on eBay.
The cash arrived in a box at the house in Aylsham, Norfolk, with the games console, but minus two games.
Police are holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act while the matter is investigated.
An eBay spokesman said the parcel’s contents were “somewhat unusual” and it would help police with their inquiries.
The boy’s parents, who are not commenting, alerted police when the parcel arrived on 20 March.
Family claim Magistrates have given Norfolk Police until September to hold on to the money before the case comes up in court again.
But, if the money remains unclaimed the family could potentially apply for it to be returned to them under the Police Property Act.

Lulu is now offering printing on rolls of toilet paper. Interesting idea, but not $90 for 4 rolls interesting. And definitely not very cost effective unless you’re charging people to use your bathroom.

A missing pair of pants has led to one big suit.
A customer got so steamed when a dry cleaner lost his trousers that he sued for $65 million. Two years later, he is still pressing his suit.
