Three separate people have photographed a 'UFO' over Plymouth

Three people have now come forward to say they reckon they saw a UFO in skies over Devon and Cornwall

A Plymouth man is among three people who claim they have photographed and filmed a UFO in skies over Plymouth.

The Herald reported last week how Alan Kingwell, 62, shot a timelapse video in his garden - and later discovered the mysterious dark shapes when he edited the film.

The video shows two dark shapes "flying" motionlessly in the blue sky and sometimes being covered by clouds.

And after seeing similar shapes on one of his photographs, David Shepherd, from Plymstock, believes he may have seen the same thing.

Mr Shepherd reckons he photographed a "block blob" earlier in the summer.

After his eye was caught by an ‘X’ shape of airplane contrails in the sky, David noticed a little black shape beneath them which he believes “looked similar” to the one seen in Mr Kingwell's footage.

Like the potential UFO seen on the video sent in by Alan, the black shape seemed to linger for “about 10 minutes” and then disappeared suddenly.

And John Mooner, from Newton Abbot, has also seen a similar thing on September 15.

"I was sky watching looking for anything out of the ordinary when I started to look around the edge of some far off clouds through my Nikon P900 camera viewfinder," he said.

"The camera was zoomed in about half way and that's when I spotted it. There was an object that was hovering just above one of the clouds.

"The object was stationary so I quickly took a photograph and watched as the object remained in that position for about a minute before it finally began to move.

"The object flew off at incredible rate of speed heading towards some thick cloud cover where by I lost sight of it."

Whilst many experts are quick to dismiss such photos as being down to camera faults, birds or balloons, the resemblance is there and we may have to admit that we aren’t alone in the universe.

Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs and other mysteries for the Ministry of Defence, told MailOnline : "In cases where nothing unusual is seen at the time, but where something strange is noticed when viewing film footage later, a suspicion must be that there's an issue with the camera.

"I appreciate that the witness saw something later, through his binoculars, when he returned to the scene, but this could be totally unconnected, and by his own admission he only glimpsed this for seconds.

'It could have been something quite ordinary, like birds or balloons, but by that time the witness was thinking 'UFOs', and may well have had that classic X-Files "I want to believe' mindset.'

The shapes over Plymouth follow a number of recent UFO sightings across the UK.

Last week a group of alien experts claimed a nudist beach in Wales could be attracting visitors from outer space.

A series of strange glowing objects have recently been spotted above Morfa Dyffryn, a beach between Harlech and Barmouth famous for its naturist area.
