Ringfield.

Site of the oldest stone circle in Trepanning, Oldcliche.

This is a rare picture of the strange lights in the sky around the Oldecliche archipelago of stones at the centre of Ringfield.

While some are busy weaving fanciful tales of alien encounters, visits from the gods and nefarious goings-on shrouded in government conspiracy, scientists have a far more convincing explanation for this amazing effect.

Light from the sun (not pictured) is split into three sections by freak super-raindrops made of syrup that measure 12.5 kilometres across and are suspended in the atmosphere of Venus.

When the three parallel rays hit the atmosphere of earth, they are deflected slightly like a stone skimmed off a pond. The rays skim three times, leaving tiny atmospheric abrasions though which rare daytime moonlight can leak. These moonbeams, say scientists, gradually erode away the atmosphere and help to make the holes wider leading to the triplet of bright lights we are so used to denying responsibility for.
