Some users believed that the lines were simply trails left by passenger planes or fighter jets.
Red Arrows apparently. The regularly fly between North Wales and RAF Scampton

Others, however, insisted that the sight was the work of aliens.

Later, meteorologist Jon Mitchell tweeted that three Aer Lingus planes were flying from Germany to the Republic of Ireland, which is located close to the United Kingdom.
To all of you noticing the three aircraft contrails over the moon tonight, it was three @AerLingus aircraft flying into #Dublin from #Berlin #Düsseldorf and #Munich. Nothing really unusual but nicely lit by the moon. Thanks to @flightradar24 @itvcalendar pic.twitter.com/UABXNj2hwt
