UFO in Harlow?
06 September 2007
STANSTED Airport bound planes and birds are commonly seen in the skies
above Harlow, but only 11 days ago there was a report of a UFO spotted
above the town.
The sighting appeared on a Canadian website, which
is run by independent UFO investigator Brian Vike.
The person who
posted the sighting had been sitting outdoors at 12.30am with friends when
they saw a mysterious grey object move across the night sky.
"It
looked greyish in colour and was not moving very quickly," they said. "It
was probably a few hundred feet high, H shaped, completely silent and no
lights to be seen."
They go on to say that the object was seen
above the Princess Alexandra Hospital for about five seconds before it
moved behind trees towards the east.
"I am gob smacked at what I
saw, in my 50 years I have never seen anything like it, mind
boggling."
There have been several sightings of so-called UFOs in
the West Essex area, particularly in Loughton.
The earliest
sighting of a UFO in the UK, as recorded on the UFO Info website, was in
the '60s in Harlow. The author's name is not given, but the details
describe how a nine-year-old boy was leaving his friend's house one
evening when he saw "a ball of yellow, pearly orange".
"Holding my
fist up now, it was easily bigger than my fist by about 10 per cent. This
thing was close and I feel sure it knew I was there. It had two round dark
patches, one each to the left and right lower half," he said.
"The
funny thing is I don't remember much at all of the after events, except
running home very fast after the ball 'switched off'."
The Ministry
of Defence has released a report claiming that most sightings are
"attributable to physical, electrical and magnetic phenomena in the
atmosphere", but enthusiasts and experts are not convinced.
"Many
people will try and convince you that UFOs are secret military black
projects, but the problem with that conclusion is we've been told that
since the 1950s," one expert commented.
"If it were true, why
haven't we seen these 50-year-old UFO shaped black projects in regular use
by now?"
