Strange light across the Mersey baffling people in Wirral "It is so bright it looks almost holographic." A strange bright light seen across the River Mersey from the Wirral coastline has left people baffled. Glaring out from across open waters, people have taken to social media to ask what the intense shining object could be. It has been seen from along the coast at West Kirby and New Brighton and one person told the ECHO: "It is so bright it looks almost holographic." Some had assumed it was to do with the Burbo Bank Wind Farm, one posted on social media and said: "I’m assuming it’s something to do with the wind farm."
