According to eyewitnesses, the disk-shaped object sparkled with a metallic sheen
Former teacher John Powell, now retired at 56, lives near RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. The bodies of British soldiers who died in the fighting in hot spots are usually delivered there. The other day, while watching the Hercules transport plane entering the fudge, he noticed a silvery disc in the sky.
“I saw well that the disk was metal,” said Powell, “its surface was reflecting the sun's rays.
The teacher took out his camera and took several pictures - one of them was published by the British newspaper Daily Mail. Both the plane and the UFO were in the frame.
“I have never believed in aliens before,” says a successful photographer. “I thought that UFOs did not exist at all. And now I believe. The object wasn't just flying - it was clearly following the plane.
The observation was commented on by a representative of the UK Department of Defense. And he said that an investigation is not expected. Because the facility posed no threat. And in general, there is no such practice to investigate every case reported by eyewitnesses. And the task of determining the nature of each unidentified object is not worth it.
The teacher's joy at realizing that aliens exist was slightly overshadowed by expert Russ Kellett, vice president of the British Flying Saucer Bureau. In his opinion, a cloud in the form of a lens most likely got into the lens. And such atmospheric formations, which are called chevate-shaped clouds, are indeed often mistaken for UFOs.
However, another ufologist Nick Pope, who is often recruited by the Department of Defense to identify UFOs, came up with support. “The object in the picture looks blurry,” he said, “but this is usually what real UFOs are. And more often they don't work at all, although people see them. I would advise the Department of Defense to do an investigation and at least check if anything strange appeared on the radar at that time. And Powell insists: the sky was absolutely clear, the weather was sunny. And the object was moving pretty fast. Which is strange for the clouds.
