An Ayrshire couple were left spooked after seeing mysterious lights in the sky .

Adam Devlin and Maxine Steel were driving on the A77 near to Galston at around 9pm last night when they spotted the 'bright white lights spinning in the clouds'.

Adam, 29, said they were baffled as to what it was.

He added: "It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. It totally freaked us out. I know it definitely wasn't a plane or a helicopter so what else could it be.

"I know it sounds a bit strange but I think it could have been a UFO ."

The couple, who now live in Glasgow, were down visiting family when the unusual lights grabbed their attention.

Adam added: "We were driving on the M77 heading onto the A77 when I noticed a light reflecting on my windscreen. At first I didn't think anything of it but then we stopped the car and there was nothing else around. There was no sound and it certainly didn't look like there was any event happening. It was really quiet apart from the lights.

"They were up in the clouds. They were bright white and appeared to be spinning around in a circular motion. It was so strange. Maxine was freaking out. We didn't and still don't have a clue what it was."

This is not the first time mysterious lights have been spotted in Ayrshire.

Earlier this month residents in Irvine said they were left baffled by reported sightings of mysterious lights in the skies above the town.

Witnesses shared stories online about a bright trail of unidentified objects which were spotted from the town centre, Girdle Toll, Dreghorn and Springside at around 9pm on October 3.

One onlooker posted on social media claiming the strange sight of around 12 perfectly aligned lights resembled a missile. Others were sure it was a shooting star or meteor shower.
