A BLACKBURN couple and two Burnley sisters described seeing what may have been the same 'flying saucer'.
The couple saw a silvery-green object with an orange trail behind it, before it disappeared towards Haslingden. Minutes later two sisters saw an object in the sky which they described as "silvery with two globes and a tail".
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 workers stayed away from British Northrop Loom Co, Blackburn, as part of a general strike in Britain by workers in engineering industries protesting after their claim for a 15 per cent pay increase was rejected.
