I HAD to write in response to an article in the Gazette & Herald on August 27 – “Witnessing eerie light show”, and this being attributed to a Northern lights-type phenomena seen by Graham Shail, in Normanby.
We also saw it on our journey back from York.
We also soon solved the mystery when we arrived home in Helmsley.
It was laser rays coming from the crew setting up Galtres Festival at Duncombe Park. Sorry to disappoint anyone.
