Alien Lore No. 123 - Two Recent British UFO sightings

Hab Rahman stopped to take snapshots [that word snapshot, is slowly fading into obsolescence, isn't it?] of a strangely lit sky. When he downloaded them to his computer, he noticed a mysterious glowing object. A fawking UFO!

Hab (of Portsmouth England) said:I didn’t spot anything when I took the picture but then later on when I looked a bit closer and zoomed in, there it was. I’ve never really believed in UFOs but this is a bit weird and quite freaky."

“I’m not really sure what to make of it but I can’t think what else it could be.” The photo of the flying saucer-like object was taken just after midnight in a Portsmouth car park.

Hilary Porter, from the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS), said the sighting could be credible/legit. She said: “It would be very difficult to fake that photo and the UFO is at a tilt, which is the way they normally fly. You don’t normally see that sort of UFO over this country, we generally get orange orbs, so the photographer who got this photo has got quite a coup.”

The Ministry of Defense refuses to comment on individual sightings. A MoD spokesperson said: “The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported.”

This photo of a UFO over Cornwall was this week hailed by experts as one of the best ever taken in Britain. The classic flying saucer shape is seen above two ships. And UFO watchers believe it could be proof we are NOT alone. You think!?

Kelvin Barbery snapped the mystery object from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth. In a weird twist (and just like the sighting/photo above), Kelvin, 55, did not even see the UFO at the time.

He thought he was just shooting a seascape—but when he loaded the digital camera photos into his computer, the round metallic “craft” was in the centre of the shot, about two miles away.

Kelvin, a facilities manager for schools, said: “There were a couple of tankers out in the bay and I thought that it made a nice shot. "

“There was nothing in view and certainly no fault on the camera. "

“When I got home I couldn’t believe what I had. I thought, ‘Wow, where did that come from?’ I’m not the sort to believe in UFOs — now I’m not so sure.” '

Nick Pope, one of Britain’s foremost UFO experts, said the photo was one of the best he had seen. The former Ministry of Defense UFO analyst, said: “If I was still there I’d be looking at this very closely. The object looks structured, symmetrical and metallic. This man has caught something very interesting indeed.

Michael Soper, of the Contact International UFO group, agreed: “This does appear genuine. Digital photos can be doctored but everything about it appears consistent.”
