Strange sighting puzzles couple
Monday 2nd October 2006, 9:03PM BST.
Richard and Linda Ortyl were heading from Cannock when they both saw a solid white shape on the left hand side of the road at 12.10am on Saturday. The pair, who live in south Manchester, at first thought the shape could have been an animal.
They said: “This shape was about 1ft wide by 3ft or 4ft long. It quickly glided up the side of the hedges, over the top and curled around a wide tree.
“Our initial thoughts were that it was a white fox because of the shape and size but the movement was too fast, it came off the ground and the movement was not animal-like.” They added: “The shape was also a solid white mass with no definable features of legs or tails or wings.”
Shropshire UFO expert Phil Hoyle said today over the years there had been a number of unusual sightings on the A5.
