Flying saucer spotted over Portsmouth

A photographer who stopped on a whim to take some pictures at night might have chanced upon a real UFO.

The picture appears to show a mysterious object in the shape of a flying saucer. UFO experts say it could prove the existence of the phenomenon

Hab Rahman, a keen photographer, was stunned to see the image in the background when he looked again at some pictures he had taken at night.

The 28-year-old, from Portsmouth, Hants, was driving home from work through thick fog when he decided to stop and get some snaps of the eerie setting.

He pulled up and went to take the shots from a car park near Commercial Road, Portsmouth, just after midnight.

It was not until he got home and transferred the shots onto his computer that he spotted the mysterious glowing object.

Mr Rahman 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."

Mr Rahman stopped off at this car park in Portsmouth on his way home to take the pictures but it was not until he arrived home that he spotted the 'UFO'

Hilary Porter, from the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS), believes this sighting could be the real thing.

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 Defence would not comment on individual sightings and said they could not check if there were any aircrafts in the vicinity at the time.

An 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."

MoD reveal the number of reported UFO sightings in the UK has risen

The number of reported sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects in the UK has soared in the last year with people calling the Ministry of Defence with concerns about bright white lights, strange triangular-shaped objects and even alien abduction.

The MoD took details of 135 events in which mysterious objects were seen in our skies by witnesses including three pilots. Just 97 were reported in 2006.

In the last year, there have been reports of a flying saucer in Staffordshire, small stationary aircraft in Derbyshire and a fast moving triangular shaped object in West Yorkshire.

In the West Midlands in December, a woman was terrified when a UFO shone a light into her window. She said the UFO then "shot off fast at first to the North East and then started to move at a slow pace".

Meanwhile in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, on April 12, a witness reported seeing fifty objects, each with an orange light, assembling in the sky before ascending.

On another occasion, two pilots in different planes flying over Alderney in the Channel Islands reported seeing two bright orange aircrafts and another pilot reported seeing a strange "balloon-like" object when in the air.

Hilary Porter, from the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS) said she is not surprised by the rise in the number of UFOs reported to the MoD, as they have been inundated with similar reports.

"We have had call after call, from business people right down to ordinary folk in their cars. There have been some very close encounters that have been quite unnerving for the people involved. We have had other people reporting orb sightings."
