Residents of the coastal city of Bangor in Northern Ireland witnessed two strange lights of unknown origin over the surface of one of the city's bays. A video showing the phenomenon was published by the PenNews online media outlet and a photo of the anomaly was uploaded on the Bangor Life Facebook group's page, with the author of the post wondering about the possible nature of the lights.
According to a local named Jackie, who took the photo, the lights "flickered at times, coming on and off at random intervals". The author of the Facebook post feared that it could be the start of an "alien invasion".

A user named Clark Chambers alleged that it could have been James Bond's car from the 1977 film "The Spy Who Loved Me".
