More UFOs spotted

Three more Shropshire residents have spotted an orange ball of light in the sky over the weekend.

Telford woman Cherie Hussain captured on camera a light in the sky over Malinslee on Saturday night.

She said: "At around 8.15pm I spotted a bright light stationary in the sky over Malinslee.

"At first I just assumed it was a bright star, but when I looked again I could see that it had moved slowly over a period of about an hour.

"I took the pictures because I could see clearly that it was neither a star or a moon.

"It is hugely fascinating and I would love to know what it is."

There were two more sightings of unidentified flying objects on Sunday and yesterday in the county.

Becca Broadhurst, of Telford, spoke out after seeing Shrewsbury man Ted Goodman's plea for help in identifying an orange object in the sky he had seen last month.

It is almost identical to the ones photographed by Cherie.

Becca said: "I don't normally believe in this sort of thing, but on Sunday night myself and my husband saw two of these fly at speed silently past with about a one-minute gap.

"Whatever they are, they were about on Sunday night in the Telford area."

Heather Small, of Hillcrest Road, St George's, Telford, said she and her husband were woken up at about 4am on Monday morning by a very strange noise. "There was something in the skies," she said.

"We could see something in the distance but the noise was the most unusual thing, the best way I can describe it is like an engine shutting on and off."

Earlier this month Shropshire carer Sarran Aston, from Broseley, reported seeing an orange ball of light in Dawley Bank.

The 29-year-old, who was out on house call duty, said it was not the first time she had seen the unidentified object.
