Are they some sort of new art installation?  A naturally occurring phenomenon? Or is it something more interesting?

The last few nights have shown a new light show appearing over parts of London.  Mysterious, glowing orbs have been spotted, and in some cases photographed zipping, dodging and otherwise moving playfully among the city’s buildings.

Most often spotted late, these lights have appeared each night for the past two weeks, no more than five in a single area.  Some have reported the sounds of flutes or pipes during the disturbances.

“It was really quite pretty, you know?  We were sitting out in the garden when we heard this soft music.  But it really wasn’t music, ya know?  More like someone was just playing around with a flute.  Anyway, my Roger points up, and there’s four or five little lights, just bobbing around above our neighbor’s garden. They were up there for five or six minutes before they just swooped away, taking the music with them.” – Chelsea Bettenridge (43), London

But not everyone is delighted with this new phenomena, as several traffic accidents have been reported, citing the cause as either trying to avoid a “glowing orb” or due to the distraction the lights have been causing at night.
