“UFO in Bubbenhall nearly wrecked our car, say couple”
STRANGE sightings over Bubbenhall of a spinning orange object shooting from the sky have been reported by stunned Warwickshire couple. Scared beyond belief Cliff and Carol Sheldon said
“The huge flashing orange object nearly smashed into our car”
It happened on a very cold and clear night. They say it was cylindrical in shape, and about half the size of their Vauxhall Corsa Car. The down-to-earth couple from Stretton-on-Dunsmore say they have always been skeptical about UFOs. But the couple are in no doubt today about what they both saw that night. Their claims have been backed by a Warwick University professor with an interest in UFOs. He said they may have seen a meteorite, also known as a shooting star. Cliff, aged 63, who has recently retired from his garage business, in Earlsdon, Coventry, said:
“I just saw a great big thing spinning round with lights on. Carol was in a mad panic saying: ‘That thing might explode let’s get out of here. It was a clear night and I thought oh my god, what is that?‘ It could have been something burning. There is no doubt that it was real, and we are not nuts we saw it and that’s genuine.“
Carol, aged 58, described a flat round structure ‘like a giant dinner plate’ that was flashing orange. She said: “I put my fingers in my ears as I thought it was going to explode. We were both Scared stupid and totally shocked.
“It was moving extremely fast and we thought it was going to hit our car. It looked as if it must have come down in the fields nearby.” We reported it to the police although I we guess that they wouldn’t have believed us. But there is no way you could make something up like that.” Who would want to risk their good reputation doing that?
Their UFO sighting was at 9pm on Stoneleigh Road in Bubbenhall, and nearby Coventry Airport reported “nothing untoward” on the night in question. But let’s face it Coventry Airport is not exactly a one of the largest airports in the UK. But Dr Jack Cohen, a professor and scientist from Warwick University who researches UFOs, said:
“It’s more likely to be a meteorite than a flying saucer. My guess is there are two or three a day coming down in England. It’s not unreasonable that one could have come down close to someone.“
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said:
“We do from time to time get people reporting this kind of thing to us, particularly if they want to check military aircraft movement. But we’re not aware of anything reported to us that would corroborate that claim from Monday night.“
We would love your options on what you believe may have happened that night and also would love to hear about your experiences
