UFO sightings published by MOD

A rotating silver pyramid, a “metallic spinning object” with green engines and a “mother ship with two smaller orbs” were among the bizarre UFO sightings reported to the Ministry of Defence last year, it has just revealed. On October 14 a resident in Sunderland reported spotting “a silver pyramid that was rotating at a low speed and off centre.”

Two weeks later “a black triangular UFO was seen, with three lights on it” hovering above nearby Hetton-Le-Hole.

Barlaston in Staffordshire was haunted for a week by a “mother ship and two smaller orbs”, one white and one orange.

And Eastleigh Cotswolds in Hampshire experienced a “metallic spinning object that had heat sources showing green”.

The Westcountry is a "hot spot" for sightings of UFOs

The Westcountry is a "hot spot" for sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects, according to a secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) database.

In the last eight years there have been almost 80 unexplained sightings in the skies over the far South West, ranging from 300ft white spheres in Tavistock to spinning orange lights over Glastonbury.

The WMN has also learnt that since 2000, the MoD has stopped investigating reports of unidentified flying objects and the list of sightings has only come to light following a Freedom of Information request.

It means the list of UFOs, just released from the MoD archives, has never been properly investigated by defence experts.

The reports range from a traditional "flying saucer" in Bideford in July 2000 to the more extreme object, the size of a small room "spinning on its own axis", in Torquay in 2001.

The UFOs come in all shapes and sizes too, from a very bright "half-a-mile-long object" over Probus in Cornwall in 2001, to a "silver, cigar-shaped object, moving faster than a nearby plane" in Harracott, Devon in December 2000.

While some of the reports are incredibly vague, others are detailed in their descriptions. On April 7, 2003 a "craft" was spotted in Falmouth with three yellow lights on the port side and three red lights on starboard side. Its shape was "between circular and triangular, or delta wing size" - although the timing of the sighting, at 2.30am, might suggest the spotter was not as alert as they might have been.

Dave Gillham, who founded Cornwall UFO Research Group in 1995, said less light pollution made it easier for people in the Westcountry to see the airborne objects.

"There are only small towns, so once you get out into the country you can see more clearly," he said. "The UFOs are really coloured lights, so they stick out quite a bit in the dark. They come in from the sea and go around the coast. There's a lot going on at the moment. I don't think everything can be explained."
