UFOs snapped over south west England

A saucer-shaped flying object has been photographed over the south-west of England.

The UFO photographed off the Cornish coast. Click for larger image.

Kelvin Barbery clicked the picture of the mystery object from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth.

The Sun reports that he did not even see the UFO at the time of taking the picture, as he was just trying to photograph a sea view.

However, upon loading the digital camera card on to his computer, he was stunned to find the round metallic craft at the centre of the shot.

The flying object appears in the middle of two ships in the picture. It is believed that the so-called UFO would have been about two miles away from Kelvin.

Could the object be a bird?

"There were a couple of tankers out in the bay and I thought that it made a nice shot. There was nothing in view and certainly no fault on the camera.

When I got home I couldn't believe what I had. I thought, Wow, where did that come from? I'm not the sort to believe in UFOs now I'm not so sure", he said.

Nick Pope, a renowned UFO expert in Britain, has hailed the photograph.

"If I was still there I'd be looking at this very closely. The object looks structured, symmetrical and metallic. This man has caught something very interesting indeed", said Nick, formerly the official Ministry of Defence UFO analyst.

Michael Soper, an expert with the Contact International UFO group, said that though tampering with digital pictures was very easy, Kelvins photo looked genuine.

"This does appear genuine. Digital photos can be doctored but everything about it appears consistent", he said.

A similar object has again been photographed in the same bay; this time it appears to be "buzzing" a British naval vessel.

Again the Sun reports:

A man who asked just to be called Edward snapped a strange shaped object which appeared to be 'buzzing' a Navy ship.

He said: "I was taking photos of the ship when a helicopter from it took off, flew west then landed back on board just a few minutes later.

"It was only when I blew up the photos on my computer that I realised what the helicopter had gone off to take a look at.
