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."

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.

Manchester's UFO encounter

UFOS have been spotted twice above Manchester in the past year.

Freedom of Information powers revealed that three silver unidentified flying objects hovering above Chorlton.

In the second sighting, an orange ball was spotted high above Irlam. According to witnesses, the ball was first seen low in the sky, but then gained height, moving very fast.

These were only two of the sightings of unidentified objects recorded by the Ministry of Defence's UFO section.

They were found using the Freedom of Information Act.

Reports from elsewhere in the north west included an incident in Crewe last year when very bright lights were seen for more than half an hour, hovering quite slowly from side to side.
Meanwhile, in Macclesfield, observers spotted a spinning object which appeared to have a triangular shaped part on either side of it.

They reported it as a grey, almost dull, metallic colour.

Among sightings nationally, there was `a mother ship' with two smaller orbs moving around it, in Barlestone, Staffordshire, and an object which was oblong shaped and `looked a bit like a scooter' over Stevenage, in Bedfordshire.

In one case, in Co Durham, a police officer reported seeing six lights travelling in a line, slightly staggered, from north to south.

As revealed in the Manchester Evening News, between the year 2000 and last year, air crews reported UFOs on 13 occasions.

Lights prompt UFO reports

More than 10 separate UFO sightings across the West Midlands have been reported to military bosses in recent years it has emerged.

Reports have been lodged with the Ministry of Defence from places across the region including Dudley, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Barlaston in Staffordshire, Walsall and Oldbury. And they may have prompted military chiefs to check whether they were a threat to the UK’s airspace.
One report from Walsall in March 2006 described “a UFO doing funny sharp turns over a field.” Another unexplained sighting in Dudley, reported in December 2006, simply described “a white light”.

Back in August 2005 someone in Lichfield reported that they had seen “an object that was circular with a dull orange colour/light that was the size of a medium aircraft.” And in Wolverhampton an RAF sergeant reported seeing “two triangular shaped objects” in 2003.
