DONCASTER SOUTH YORKSHIRE – “On July 23, 2008, I came in from having a cigarette in the back garden on 10:40 PM, and noticed a light coming in my direction from west to east. I thought it was the headlights of a plane coming in to land at Robin Hood Airport in Doncaster as we get a lot of flight traffic overhead. The object was a golden, single light. It didn’t lose altitude and was moving slower than an incoming civilian aircraft. I watched it pass pretty much directly overhead and was surprised that it was completely silent and its lights stayed the same shape and there were no wing or tail lights. Normally when planes go over, the headlights appear to go out as it passes by. There were two normal planes in the sky (with wing and tail lights) at the same time - albeit moving in different, unrelated directions.” Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

ELLESMERE, SHROPSHIRE – ”We were leaving the outskirts of town driving 30 mph on A528 towards Overton on July 11, 2008, when we saw eleven ‘planes’ with fins, but no wings. We were amazed at their sudden appearance at 2:35 PM, their unfamiliar shapes, how low and slowly they were flying. I used to work at British Aerospace, and I am familiar with jet planes and jet aircraft engines at very close quarters. Someone said, ”They were Lightning jets, but these planes bore absolutely no resemblance to Lightning’s. The planes were grouped in two arrowheads, followed by two singles - 5 + 4 + 1 + 1. The last one was maneuvering to join the formation. The craft were square, long box-shaped fuselage, open at the rear; narrow, swept back wings -more like narrow fins than wings, with little surface area to provide lift. They had heavy, rugged all-metal construction half the size of a Harrier Jet., resembling worn sheet aluminum.

This was old-looking technology, neither aerodynamic nor streamlined without a tail or external engines; nor ailerons; no cockpit; no markings; no armaments; no aerials or external appendages; no wheels or sign of wheel bays. My partner thinks the nose was slightly rounded Thunderbirds style.” RAF Shawbury is about 14 miles southeast of Ellesmere. 

We heard the objects loud roar above our car’s diesel engine with the passenger window open, but not sufficiently ear-splitting for eleven jet engines a few hundred feet away. There was no smell or fumes, no flames, vapor or sign of air turbulence from open rear of the box fuselage. They were flying 150 to 300 feet above ground level approaching the built-up area of Ellesmere probably slower than a 100 mph- with only twenty feet between the craft. The Royal International Air show at Fairford - 100 miles southeast of Ellesmere - on 12th and 13th July was cancelled because of very heavy rain.  The Farnborough International Air show was held three days later from July 14 to 20, 2008, 170 miles southeast of Ellesmere.” See http://www.farnborough.com/
