Man spies ‘green UFO’ over town

An eagle-eyed Shropshire Star reader thought he was watching an alien attack unfold when he spotted a green, pear-shaped object hovering in the skies over Telford.

Gavin Stevens, of Malinslee, said it was his second UFO sighting since last autumn.

“I was sitting in my house when I glanced out of the window and saw something hovering overhead,” he said.

“It floated away from us slowly rotating so we went to get the binoculars to see it and we could tell it was green in colour, pear-shaped, and had something below it.

“Within the space of a few seconds it shot off very fast away from us.”

In October, Mr Stevens was one of several people who saw 10 orange lights in the sky over Dawley.
