A UFO sighting by BBC sports reporter Mike Sewell has been generating great interest on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Sewell had been on his way to Stansted airport when he observed a strange object in the sky for several minutes. "I'm not sure what it was, but it was disc-shaped [with] at least two panelled lights – soft white lights – underneath and several flashing lights around it," he said on air, resulting in a deluge of calls from listeners.
The disbelieving journalist said he watched it for two or three minutes and soon after losing sight of it decided to turn back. He lost track of the object but did see a higher bright light in the sky with a bright white light.

I got one theory about lights, those are maybe ships thrusters, so it can float or move any direction. Some sort of highly advanced engine. I'm probably wrong but who knows, they probably have very sopfisticated sensory tech on aboard so they dont need any lights to se in darkness. But this is only theory if there are any so called aliens coming to our planet. To know that you need to be ranked high in any of worlds space agencies. Still why cover up such information in modern world, no one gives a damn if they are here or not...

Maybe it's some species of machine that thinks our airplanes are hot, trying to use traffic control lighting for to lure in a mate. It's also possible that some high school kid from the future is using tacion signatures to study history. OK, so it's possible ET is going to show themselves soon too, but if we have stealth, they probably have a more advanced version than we could conceive yet. On the more common sense side, I started working on some theories a few years ago out of my own curiosity. Just something to fill odd moments of boredom. It is possible with current technologies to create ... [More]

The reason that ET doesn't want to show his face is probably because of man's behaviour in various parts of the world. Otherwise they would have sent scores of tourists here already on intergalactic hotel type spaceships as in the movie I think it was the 5th element.

Well of course, would anyone cross the Galaxy for any other reason? If I had a spaceship, the first thing I would do is visit some planet and buzz some local at an hour when inactivity s at it's highest to freak him out and then vanish. I'd be back home telling everyone at the local having a right chuckle. That's living! .... Right?

Well theres quite a few airbases around that area, so it could be a drone.

Listen to his deion at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14387365 It is an interesting account at least. The conclusions jumped to seem a bit premature though. And the person speaking at the end brought the purported statements from Ben Rich into the mix and supposed alien craft that we have reverse engineered and indeed liaised with actual aliens to develop... It makes for fun conversation, but I ... [More]
