Helicopter Monitors Egg-Shaped UFO Landing
[Original headline: Glowing object sparks UFO alert ]A woman struggling to sleep as she battled a cold claims she saw a UFO land in Worcester [approx. 30 crow miles south west of Birmingham].
Georgina Wells said she saw a glowing object which hovered in the sky for more than an hour at 2am last Thursday [Feb. 3].
The 20-year-old said she saw the “extremely bright” egg shape from her third floor bedroom window at the back of her Bransford Road home in St John’s.
But she said she was amazed to see the glowing yellow object, which she claims had a helicopter next to it the whole time, begin to descend.
“It got lower and lower then it stopped glowing,” she said.
“I’m convinced it landed but I don’t know where. But minutes later it came back into view and was really bright again and shot off into the sky and vanished. I have never seen anything go that fast before.”
Miss Wells, who was awake because of a cold, added she had not taken any medicine which could cause her to hallucinate, nor was it a dream.
“I was awake because I could not stop coughing,” she said.
“I stood up and watched it. It was not a police helicopter with its spotlight as there was no light-beam.
“I nearly woke my mum and dad up but I thought it wasn’t fair, I don’t think they would have been very impressed.”
But dad Jim, 63, said he was disappointed his daughter did not wake him as he may have been able to identify the object.
He said he would not dismiss the possibility that it was a UFO.
“It could have been a number of things, including a UFO,” he said. “I do not know of any aviation vehicles which can shoot off and vanish in a matter of moments.”
West Mercia Police said they had no reports of anyone seeing anything unusual and added that the police helicopter was not flying at the time.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said he was unable to confirm what was flying at that time, as it is not a controlled area. A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence confirmed no military aircraft were in the area.
