COULD this be a case for Mulder and Scully?

A mysterious cylindrical silver object, that changed shape

as it flew through the air, was spotted in the sky above

Woodmancote by sales executive Sarah Catton on Sunday

afternoon.

The 24-year-old, who lives in Stockwell, is hoping the truth

is out there.

“I was sunbathing in the back garden at about 1pm.

“I saw this thing in the sky, and I just thought it was very

strange, so I took a couple of photos.

“It was way, way up high and moving really slowly, which I

thought was odd. It wasn't going fast at all.

“It was blue and glittering. It was sort of spiralling and

when it turned it seemed to bend in the middle.

“I have no idea what it was. I was showing my picture to

people at work and they said I should come and talk to the

Echo.”

Sarah says she doesn't particularly believe in UFOs or life

on other planets and wouldn't be rushing to see the new X-Files

movie out this week.

She said: “I'm not like that at all, I'm not a fan of

science fiction particularly or much of a believer in

aliens.

“I don't want people to think I'm weird, I just don't know

what this thing was.”

“I don't know if anybody else saw it, I'm really interested

to know what it was.”

Did you see the object in the sky at around 1pm-2pm on

Sunday? Contact the Echo if you did on 01242 271823

    “There's definitely intelligent life forms out there somewhere, the proof is; that they haven't bothered to contact us !”

    “Looks like a Kite to me too.
    On friday night I could see this blue light in the sky above Newlands Sports Ground (ex Smiths Industries). Turned out it was my mate's kite with battery powered lights on it. They had a festival there from Friday until sunday evening”

    “Yes we saw the same object floating northwards towards Cleeve Hill. What we SAW was a dark coloured plastic tube. Perhaps it was something which had been released either intentionally or otherwise from the nearby kite meeting. Sorry to spoil your fun, Ms Echo Editor !! :-)”
