Flying Banana!

Is it a UFO? Is it the Northern Lights? No, it's the "Flying Banana".

A blue glow that has lit up Lincolnshire's night sky in recent weeks has been traced to an unlikely source: a bright yellow train.

Network Rail said the mysterious light comes from its new measurement train – nicknamed the Flying Banana – which looks for faults on the line for engineers to repair.

The company said on hazy nights, equipment from the yellow train can create a blue glow "that looks like something from the X-Files" as it tests overhead lines.

"But it's not flying saucers," a spokesperson said. "Just our Flying Banana helping to keep trains running reliably."

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.
