The alleged UFO sighting took place at Lake Zurich in Switzerland last week, and according to the stunned woman, the lights were very bright and visible for around five minutes before suddenly vanishing.

According to local media, they were also spotted over 60 kilometers away in the village of Diessenhofen and 45 kilometers away in the town of Schaffhausen.

"When we were on the balcony, we noticed these strange lights. Luckily, other people saw them otherwise we would have felt like we were crazy," a couple in Diessenhofen said.

A man in Schaffhausen said he saw the lights at around 11.30 PM. "At first, I thought it was searchlights or something similar, but they were very visible from a distance of between 20 and 25 kilometers and were flying in a strange line. Therefore, I ruled out the hypothesis that they were searchlights," he said.

Vladi Barrosa, a spokesperson for Skyguide, the company responsible for monitoring Swiss airspace, said: "We also cannot identify what it is. What personally puzzles me is that the lights from this object are not reflected in the lake, unlike others."

While it's unclear if Swiss authorities are investigating the mysterious sighting, locals have offered their own theories about what it could be.
