Welcome to B.E.A.M.S.
Founded in 1991, our society consists of a
team of active reporters and
field investigators who
factually gather, study and
disseminate evidence
relating to
Earth Mysteries, (e.g.
Ley Lines,
Terrestrial Energies and
Ancient
Site
Anomalies), Strange
Aerial Happenings, (e.g. Unidentified Flying Objects or
UFOs), and The Paranormal, (e.g. Spirit and Psychic
Phenomena).
Flying Saucer? UFO Over Manchester, UK - 29-01-2015
Witness
statement: 'What an exciting day, trekked through 6 inches of snow to
the station, struggled into the city to take photos at Albert Square
Chop House for Place, and whilst I was there took a photo of a Flying
Saucer!!! look closely above the rectangular office building. Well it
looks like one to me.'
We're really not sure what this is - it was only spotted reviewing images by our photographer xxxxx (copied into email).
Enlargement of mystery object
The
local paper (Manchester Evening News) laughed it off - said it looked
fake. Given that xxxxx used to be their picture editor, and is
still a freelancer for them, it was a bit annoying.
I
have the original image direct from the camera if you want to examine
it in more detail. It's fairly grainy (high ISO) shot on a Canon 1D
MKIV. All the EXIF data is intact.
We're
not aware of any advertising blimps in the sky above town - unlikely to
be an airship - the weather was and has been terrible - snow/freezing.
An airship is the only thing I could imagine it might have been - but
as I said - it's unlikely.

Note
regarding Exif information: The photo shown here
was initially uploaded to Google Drive so that the
photographer could share from his phone, hence its Exif data
is NOT entirely as it should be, but thankfully today I have received a data perfect file of this image from my contact. Next, I ran this through an EXIF analysis programme which has confirmed that the image has 'a high probability of being original' - 'unprocessed'.
Magnification
reveals that the mystery object is certainly not an airship,
drone or anything of that nature, so it looks like we have ourselves a
genuine UFO - in the true definition of the term - an aerial object
that is unidentified. I have requested from the photographer any other
images from that day, just before and after the UFO shot. Camera used
was a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV professional DSLR.
