Does this video phone footage reveal evidence of aliens over Shropshire? Telford resident Gavin Stevens recorded a sequence of remarkable footage over his house in Malinslee.
It is thought the video could show a UFO in the skies - but what do you think?
Take a look with our exclusive video report.

Nah, it wasn’t a baloon, not unless it was massive in size and could fly for a few miles away from our house in a very short space of time.

Most definitely a helium balloon, some small child is probably wandering where its got to.

maybe that is where all the chavs and suchlike are coming from. They are being sent by aliens to disrupt the peaceful life of Salopians

lokks like something falling from a chinook helecopter, given that the government has had 8 chinooks grounded since 2000 causing a £400 million bill for you and me, it could just be, so keep your heads down, FOUR!

Two words, Ignorance, Arrogance. There would be a third but I’m sure Gavin can guess which one applies to some of the moronic comments posted here.

“Ignorance, Arrogance” - yes, the general mindset of people who think that birds, clouds, military aircraft and helium balloons are “UFOs”!! lolol

He should have gone to specsavers!

Its a balloon flapping in the wind.

A green pare shaped object? With something dangling off the bottom? You’d think that was a balloon! I’m no skeptic.. I definately believe in UFO phenomena… But i aint sure about this…
Also.. The cluster of orbs or lights he saw last year outside the pub were reported as chinese Lanterns.. A new craze to hit the UK.. Just that no one has caught on to it yet and therefore put them down to ufo’s.
Sorry… i hate to debunk.

Shameful behaviour on the part of the newspaper. The Good Lord created no life on other planets. We are His sole creation in the firmament and the Shropshire Star’s heretical actions in allowing this imp of Satan to spread his evil propaganda shall hasten them all to the depths of Hades on the Day of Reckoning. As written in Judges, chapter 2, verse 4: “For they who shall deny the oneness of the children of the Lord shall be cast unto the darkest pit or at the very least pointed at by their neighbours.”

I’m always amused by UFO believers who at some point in their argument use the word “arrogance” to describe non-believers. Perhaps in their quieter moments of humility, these gullible, illogical buffoons could examine the logic behind expecting an evolutionary parallel on another planet…and how expecting another “advanced race” (because they always are, aren’t they?) to continue to visit us is NOT arrogant.

What that lad needs is a stint of National Service. Never heard so much mumbo-jumbo in all my born days. This is what happens when the TV is used as a babysitting service and young minds are corrupted by a diet of ‘Bonanza’, ‘Take Your Pick’, ‘The Liver Birds’ and ‘Sex And The City’. Young Gavin should get out and get some exercise - if he ever hopes to be courting in the near future, then he needs to show any prospective Mrs Stevens that his head is screwed on. She will be expecting solidly constructed shelves upon which to place her saucers, rather than being left on the shelf for the sake of a flying one. Poppycock!!!

“Lay off” what, pray tell? Yet another tool of Beelzebub - does the Good Lord ride with you whence you propel your pantechnicon along Jesu’s highway? You may mock the Shepherd and His flock, Mr Merkin, but you shall never deflect them from their holy mission. Would these aliens, if they existed, even believe in the Lord and all His Glory? No - doubtless they all vote for the LIberals, also.

I read a while ago that the govement has got proof of extratrestal beings locked away in the valts of Jodrell Bank. I think we need a refarenderm to get this proof out so we can all see what these UFOs are all about. The truth is out their.

We already know that the UFO incident in Cardiff was down to Khoom Fay balloons (sold as UFO balloons in this country) being released at a wedding, but unfortunately the tabloid press don’t seem keen on reporting this information (the BBC has the details if you know how to Google). The shape of, and colour of light emitted from this one appears to indicate another Khoom Fay balloon.

Could be some childs balloons let go from a party.
You know the sort i mean. The one that flys the most distance is the winner.

A home made film (most probably edited with Adobe Premier) faking a UFO sighting….. Tut Tut - shame on you… LOL

seeing is believeing, i did not believe, until i saw ufo back in 1996, about seven or eight different sightings a few over bury golf couse, and then a couple of months later i moved back to my mums address and saw the best one i ever seen, but that one i saw was on the news the next day, that 29 peaple seen the same as me, so all you none believers get real and face up to the truth, cos we are not the only liveing planet on the universe think about it

That footage made me howl !! Lets face it.. Listen to the background music !! Everytime UFO’s, Aliens or Abductions are reported in the news. Or theres even a documentary made about such phenomena. Then WHY oh WHY oh WHY do the programs producers insist on debunking the whole program by adding spooky 80’s syth music, clips of Darth vader? and eyewitness reports from people who look like they just won a 2nd prize competition as Doc Emmet Brown. Or by having it introduced by an ex sci-fi star.
Turn the subject around.. WE are aliens to the rest of the universe(s) and DO WE EXIST ?

I would not count this particular video as real hard evidence. But, lets face it people - Our universe is so vast - why should our planet be the only one inhabited by intelligent beings. I must say, if we can be totally logical, and open-minded about this subject (religeous cranks aside), then there must be some substance to the thousands of sightings that have been reported ever since the 2nd WW.

You are all deluded.
There is no god.
It is not a UFO. It’s a bird.
Life in other worlds does exist..based on science. They are probably thinking exactly the same thing as us searching for us. As we are them. There are TRILLIONS of planets in the universe. Why would there only be life on one of them? We evolved over billions of years on this planet to become what we are. No god made this earth. And that’s the fact’s.

You mean to say that this shaky clip is the evidence for aliens visiting Shropshire.
I would suggest the young man gets out more and starts taking notice of the world around him.
UFO means Unidentified Flying object, not alien spacecraft. Unfortunately many people have little idea about the night sky and day time sky phenomena so if they see something strange they go to the papers claiming they’ve seen a ufo.
As for abductions, these are highly suspect as getting the information out of witnesses means using hypnosis and as any one can train as a hypnotist. Many Ufo investigators hypnotise the witnesses themselves and unintentionally feed false information and come up with a story of being abducted by aliens.
There is a likelihood of life being out there in the Universe.
Instead of believing the rubbish that these groups and the media come out with why not look at the real scientific research out there that is looking for life beyond the Earth.

i saw a similar thing flying over dublin - i looked up and saw a big baloon (dark grey) flying a couple hundred feet up across the sky it was a windy day, it was kinda shuddering in a straight line until it went out of view - it wasnt blowing different directions it travelled in a straight line - but we were at a bike show in shropshire back a few weeks ago and saw about 20 orange lights (about 1am) travel across the sky one after the other in a straight line - then one by one they all disappeared in the same point- about 6 years ago me and 2 other people saw a flying dark disc flying across the sky on a clear day (eh i know it all sounds crazy) it was tumbling in a straight line (it was kinda quivering).I dunno its unexplainable. They werent baloons though, seriously.

The universe is abundant, there are as many alien races as there are stars in the night sky (possibly more). The only difference between those who see them, and those who don’t, is their belief.
