Witnesses to a
reported sighting of an unidentified flying object over Hellesdon are being asked
to come forward. So far two people saw a black triangular craft appear in the sky above
Low Road, but the Norfolk UFO Society (NUFOS) feels more people must have seen the mystery
in the sky The Evening News was contacted by one of the witnesses to the anomaly, which
happened at 12.2Oam on August 23. A second man, a civil aviation worker at Norwich
Airport, also reported seeing the lights in the sky. The aviation specialist, who did not
want to be identified and said it was definitely not a stealth aircraft, was walking home
from the cinema when he saw the craft about 5Oft in the air, and judged it to be nine feet
by five feet by comparing it with nearby trees. He said: ‘~A bright red ball just
appeared. It glowed then turned blue and a triangular black glass type solid craft
appeared. It pulsed various lights but there was no sound. It fired off a light beam that
jumped rapidly from house to house along Low Road. It then increased the light at the flat
edge, I presume the back, and it just shot off in total silence towards the north. No
sound at any time except a static fizz in the air."
Witness Austin Paxman, of Norwich, contacted the Evening News and said he was taking a
short cut across the Royal Norwich Golf Club when he saw the same craft, but from a
different angle. He said: "There seems to be more and more UFO reports for Norwich
and I am curious as to what is being done about it." John Sayer, of NUFOS, said he
would be interested to speak to people who have reported UFO incidents. He said:
"This does appear to be a very detailed report and the fact they are in aviation
lends it credibility — if
they are telling the truth. "In a book by Timothy Good called Beyond Top Secret he
says the hotspot for UFO activity in the UK in terms of reports to official bodies is the
Norwich area.
"We approach reports in as rigorously a
scientific way as possible. We don’t just accept anything and always investigate
things thoroughly. "I don’t think people are that stupid that they can mistake
planes for UFOs, especially in an area like this where people are used to seeing
helicopters and planes going over all the time." According the UFO evidence website,
multiple surveys over the last few decades and from different countries show about seven
per cent of people have seen a UFO. At least several hundred thousand estimated UFO
sightings have been documented in the last 50 years, and the total number of UFO sightings
is estimated to be in the millions, although only a small percentage report the sightings.
