WORCESTERSHIRE has been described as the perfect place to see UFOs, after a dog walker spotted mysterious objects flying over Bromsgrove.

Bonnie Lewis filmed seven shapes – which made no sound and flashed different colours – in the sky at 10pm on Friday.

The 29-year-old from Tamworth initially thought that they were satellites, but a UFO expert believes they could well be from another world.

Michael Soper, of Contact International UFO Research, studied the film stills and said: “The fact that they are cylindrical and vertical in the sky, and moving in quite distinct patterns, indicates they are of more interest than globe-shaped dots often seen.”

Mr Soper has been collating information on UFOs since he saw a silver disc above the Malvern Hills in 1960.

He said the lights over Bromsgrove were definitely not sky lanterns, the large paper lanterns that are popular at weddings, and he was keen to find out more.

Although a spokesman for Webbs garden centre, in nearby Wychbold, said staff had not noticed any unusual objects that night, Mr Soper said Worcestershire was “one of the top places” to see UFOs.

He said: “The Malvern Hills are ideal. There’s a wonderful area to the west of the Beacon where there’s a line of cottages.

“It’s an absolutely brilliant spot with the clear air coming over from Wales, which has yet to be polluted, and the fine weather that the line of the hills creates.

“Sightings there can be extraordinarily good.

“I wish people who are walking on the hills would report more things. They seem to be quite shy.”

Your Worcester News has reported several sightings over the years: In January 1997 Connie Clark, of Ontario Close, Lower Wick, saw a fiery red streak moving in a long sloping arc across the sky in the direction of Evesham before splitting in two.

The same year, dozens of people called the Worcester News with reports of an orange ball streaking across the sky in Drakes Broughton before exploding.

In August 1998 a crop circle mysteriously appeared in field in Astley, and in 2003 Daphne Wright watched a cloud of red lights hover above her home in The Hill Avenue, Battenhall, for almost an hour.
