Mystery Aerial Object Photographed Over Newton Abbot, Devon, UK
Hi Ken and Hil : I was sky watching from my open bedroom window when I spotted an object that was very high up in the sky. The object had just flown out of a large cloud and I could not identify it as any known type of aircraft.
The object made some very abrupt turns as it flew in and out of several clouds that were scattered throughout the sky. The longer I watched the object the more perplexed I became.
I zoomed in on the object with my Nikon P900 camera to get a better look. I could see that it was very unusual looking and it appeared to have an orange glowing inner area that was oval shaped and on the bottom of the object there were what looked like extended landing legs. I took a photograph and continued to watch as the object had now started to descend over Decoy park towards a wooded area. As it got lower it seemed to slow down.
I couldn't believe it the object appeared to land somewhere in the vicinity of that wooded area. I really wanted to get in the car and drive there to see where it had landed and carry out a thorough investigation of the whole area but due to the coronavirus lockdown restrictions I was unable to.
I closely observed the area where it had landed looking through my high powered zoom binoculars and after about 15 minutes I saw the object shoot up into the sky at incredible speed before it then disappeared up into the atmosphere. I could hardly believe what I had just witnessed.
The Photograph was taken on the 1st of May 2020, at Newton Abbot, Devon.
All the best John.
