But they confirmed they were not working in the area last night, leaving us at a loss as to what may have caused the mysterious purple lights above West Yorkshire's skies.
We even called West Yorkshire Police to see if they could illuminate this strange sighting - but nothing.

Think your water tastes a bit different? Here's why...published at 11:21 British Summer Time 28 August 2018
If you're in Sheffield and think your drinking water tastes a little bit different to what you're used to at the moment, you're right.
Image source, PAThe city's tapwater isn't just coming from the usual places as Yorkshire Water tries to keep water levels up in its reservoirs across the region.
The firm say it's currently getting Sheffield's drinking water from rivers and underground boreholes and reservoirs from across Yorkshire.

Water from the River Ouse and River Derwent is currently helping top-up Sheffield's supply.
Residents in York, Wakefield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Hull already have water supplied this way.
Yorkshire Water says it doesn't know when it will switch back supply to the usual sources.
