Strange purple object in the sky over Tynemouth, UK

Mystery: The strange pulsating purple light is causing confusion in the North East

More sightings of a UFO hovering in the North East skies have been revealed.

The suspected alien spacecraft was first captured on video in the sky above North Tyneside by venture capitalist Craig Lowther on Monday night.

The 43-year-old, from Tynemouth, noticed a pulsating light in the sky and reached for his camera.

He said: "I am out at night a lot walking the dog but this is like nothing I have ever seen before."

Since the footage went live on the 's website, people from across the region have got in touch to share their experiences.

Karl Findlay, from Brunswick Village, said spotted an object in the night sky the very next night.

He said: "On Tuesday night at about 8.30pm I was bringing my bins into the yard when I happened to notice a strange green object floating in the sky. I managed to catch this on video.

"When I've been looking back at the video I zoomed in and spotted a star-like shape in the sky, which looked quite like the object from the original video."

Andrew Phinn, 32, from North Shields, said he also saw something in the sky in the direction of Tynemouth on Monday.

He said: "I went out into the back yard for a cigarette. It was about 11.40pm.

"I was looking out towards Tynemouth when I saw a white light in the sky. It was flickering.

"It did not move at all but it could not have been a star, because it was too low."

Although mystery still surrounds what was spotted in the skies, it's not the first time UFOs have been reported in the region.

Ministry of Defence files released last year revealed many worried people had claimed to have seen strange lights in the sky. One person even claimed they'd seen an alien in their home.

Since the year 2000, 26 reports have been made of extra-terrestrial encounters, with fast-moving flashing lights the most regular complaint.

Across the UK there were 1999 UFO sightings looked into by the MoD between 2000 and November 2009, when they stopped counting.
