Britain's skies are buzzing with mysterious objects spotted over towns for decades. Paranormal investigator Malcolm Robinson recently demanded a full government probe into bizarre aerial activity in Scotland. Robinson has lobbied multiple Prime Ministers to declassify secretive files on 'unusual aerial objects' following a wave of encounters in Bonnybridge, once dubbed the world's UFO capital.
Triangular Terror
The Rendlesham Forest Incident over Christmas 1980 saw military staff at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk report strange lights and marks on the ground in nearby woodland. A triangular-shaped craft, 10 feet across and eight feet high, with three legs was also seen. The events have never been properly explained. In 1995, two pilots of a Boeing 747 coming into land at Manchester Airport reported a puzzling high-speed Christmas tree or wedge-shaped object.
The Traditional Saucer
The traditional saucer-shaped UFO goes back to reports of a flying disc in Roswell, US, in 1947, but they've been seen in the UK too. Margaret Fry and a local GP believed they'd seen a saucer-shaped UFO hover over a street in Bexley, south-east London, in 1955. In 2008, a police helicopter in south Wales almost collided with a saucer-shaped craft and then vainly gave chase.
Deadly Diamond Ships
On August 4, 1990, two men walking near Calvine in Scotland photographed a diamond-shaped craft hovering in broad daylight before moving off as it was chased by an RAF jet. Intriguingly, ex-MOD UFO investigator Nick Pope believes the snaps were real. In another incident, in the early hours of November 28, 1980, PC Alan Godfrey was in his patrol car when he was confronted by a large rotating, diamond-shaped vessel near Todmorden, West Yorks. It was even claimed he had been abducted by aliens.
The Warminster Orbs
In 1965, there were a number of strange UFO sightings and sounds over the town of Warminster, Wilts. Many involved bizarre metallic orbs, some captured on camera. The unsolved events became known as the Warminster Thing.
Spooky Cigar Spacecraft
Sightings of cylindrical UFOs abound. One of the most mysterious occurred in 1977 in Broad Haven, Pembrokes, where a group of 15 children all claimed that a cigar-shaped craft had landed in a field near their school and that a silver creature had emerged. The kids later all made similar drawings.
Intergalactic Cosmic Eggs
ET seems to love Birmingham. In 1979, a woman from Rowley Regis claimed she saw an egg-shaped alien craft land in her garden. In 2018, a man reckoned he had seen and filmed an egg-shaped UFO hovering over the M62 motorway.
