Jayne Westerman posted the attached video on local forum Leedsplace after believing ‘aliens’ had appeared.

One said: “The deatheaters are coming!

Another added: “It looks amazing. Definitely aliens...”

However, it is believed the lights are from a rehearsal of The Awakening show for Leeds City of Culture 2023, due to take place this weekend.

Drones often make up this type of display due to recent technological advances.
