Photographer John Trueman has captured otherworldly lights illuminating the clouds over the Moray Firth.. The spectacle, which resembled a scene from 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, occurred near Kinloss Barracks, a former Royal Air Force station on Monday (April 25).
John believes local satellite company Orbex was responsible for the show, which he shot from a public beach. He says: “This is Orbex, based in Forres, testing their spaceport equipment at Kinloss barracks. When it was first started, I thought it was aliens.
“These photos were taken by me from Findhorn beach of the lights seen above the local sky from between 10pm to 10:30pm.
