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."

MOD LIFTS LID ON DERBYSHIRE'S REAL X-FILES

Derbyshire's real life X-Files have been opened for the first time to reveal more than a dozen UFO sightings across the county.

According to the Ministry of Defence, 14 unexplained sightings in the county have been investigated by the military since 1999, including one reported by a police officer in Derby.

Other sightings include one last year in Derby, when a witness described seeing "a bright, red light" in the sky.

"The light was moving too quickly across the sky to be an aircraft," the witness later told the MoD.

The year before, a witness in Matlock reported seeing a "descending white light" and "rotating beams of light going upwards from the ground".

Another person in Yeldersley, near Ashbourne, reported seeing a "missile-shaped" object, which was "turquoise in colour, metallic and looked reflective, and was the length of an estate car".

Other reports include "four bright lights, plus an outer circle of a round object" spotted in Derby in 2002.

Also in 2002, a witness reported seeing a "large triangle-shaped object, with a large, white light on the front, and, in the centre, a group of four, static, red lights".

Omar Fowler, from the Derby-based Phenomenon Research Association, said that the UFO information from the MOD came as no surprise to him.

He said: "It will be very interesting to see what they've recorded but I doubt they'll be able to tell us anything we don't already know. In that respect, I won't be expecting any surprising findings.

"It is, however, an interesting development that the MoD is publishing what is reported to them."
