UFOs spotted in Cambridgeshire

Witnesses claimed to have seen up to 50 of the mystery bright beams at around 11.30pm in Huntingdon.

Scott Boswell, 37, a former pilot and soldier from nearby Hinchingbrooke, captured some of the lights on his camera.

Mr Boswell, a banker in the City of London, said: "I noticed three lights floating past our house, probably a couple of kilometres away, and thought nothing of it.

"But then I noticed a big long string of lights coming from the direction of Brampton and heading over the Stukeley Meadows direction. This was about 11.30pm and I got a couple of blurred shots. I'm pretty sure these weren't aircraft.

"There was no noise, no navigation lights and their heading and height was relatively constant until they disappeared out of sight."

The former solider said he did not think they were flares or weather balloons, the standard explanation for unusual objects in the sky.

Auberon and Suzi Hedgecoe, who run the Braywood Guest House in Huntingdon, saw around 50 orange lights in the sky.

Mr Hedgecoe said: "It was like an armada. There was no sound. They were travelling 15 at a time and every six minutes more seemed to be coming over the horizon.

"They were not planes. These were not balloons. Each one was the size of a building. If they had been balloons, then they would have had to have been huge and they looked weighty."

He said the lights were no higher than 3,000ft.

Mr Hedgecoe said it was so extraordinary that the couple woke up their 10-year-old son Barney and his friend Zac, who was staying over, to see the spectacle.

I noticed lots of lights in the sky last night but it wasn’t the lizardmen and my head hurts this morning.

I got a couple of blurred shots.

At least he followed the rules for UFO photos. No tilt though.

How did they get past the water lizards?

This would only be Mildly interesting if they Landed & Raped the O.P. & his brother had posted the pics as a farewell.

What is this 'tilt' that is always talked about in UFO threads? :confused:

Abraham · 3 Jun 2009 at 10:28

they do look like something being fired to me, although I'd expect the source to be one of the military bases rather than ET

look like a bunch of flying chinese lanterns to be honest

Someone attached baloons filled up to a varying degree to street lights... as a test of wireless energy transfere over great distances, id say it worked!

Some numbnuts while on television justified the existance of aliens etc., by the fact that his photo/video had to be authentic because of the tilted angle of the object in question.

A "UFO Expert" in a BBC article once said that you can tell if a ufo is genuine as ufo's fly on a tilt.

Something like that. Can't remember the exact phrase he used.

I could do better than that in MS paint.

Try harder nut jobs.

the speed they were travelling at is pretty relevant to what they could be, don't see any mention of it though
