UFOs spotted by Navy engineer above the M5 motorway
Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 7-02-08 | Lucy Cockcroft

A Royal Navy aircraft engineer claims to have seen a "glowing" UFO hover over the M5 motorway.

Michael Madden, 25, said he watched in disbelief as the disc-shaped object floated above his head before it "zoomed off at incredible speed".

He said the unidentified flying object flew for up to three minutes above junction 21 of the M5, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.

Mr Madden was on his way back from Manchester with colleague Michael Casson, 22, at 9.50pm on Sunday June 29 when he saw the suspected 'extra-terrestrial' craft....

Calling Kook to Kook...

I am not a “denier” of ET, but I am one hell of a skeptic.
There has been over 50 years of ET and not ONE single confirming evidence.

For ETs to exist, it requires all the known laws of Physics to be overturned... exceed speed of light, believe in parallel universes or worm holes...
Maybe so, but I say they are not here until I see one.

The idea that all governments in the world know but cover it up is just BS.

When times get tough, even scary, people turn to religion. Those without any solid religion turn to any fake religion that appeals to them. Same thing with UFOs and the scary condition of the world today. They think maybe the UFOs will save us. Sad.

Yeah...I’m STILL waiting for a concise, clear coherent, NOT photoshopped image of one........

“Yeah...I’m STILL waiting for a concise, clear coherent, NOT photoshopped image of one.”

Yea... I remember the one that everyone went gaga over some months ago. It was very strange looking, but the first thing I noticed was the cut off kitchen wisp sticking out of the top.
It WAS eventually shown to be a photoshop job.

To be logically precise - A UFO is exactly what its acronym would lead one to believe - an unidentified flying object. Almost by definition these do exist. Now whether there are little green men flying them is another question altogether. Somehow people seem to equate “unidentified” with “little green men” although logic would dictate o/w.

If the UFOs would drop off the specifications for their power source...

Whatever these things are, they tend to be sighted in the months preceding an event which is considered major by humans (war, big earthquake in susceptible area, etc.).

I have been on the M5. I never saw a UFO but I have had some fast Jaguars pass me.

I agree with you. I'd have to see one myself to believe there are ETs in space crafts zipping between solar systems.

Did anyone here see the vid that the officer shot with his cell phone? The previous event of the multiple cubes that kept changing colors. Most of the witnesses were army personnel I believe. That was a pretty strange video.

THOSE FLYING SAUCERS

(The Buchanan Brothers, RCA Victor 20-2385,
1947)

You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
It’s a sign there’s no doubt of the trouble that’s about
So I say my friends you’d better start to pray

They’re a terrifying sight as they fly on day and night
It’s a warning that we’d better mend our ways
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day

Many people think the saucers might be someone’s foolish dream
Or maybe they were sent down here from Mars
If you’ll just stop and think you’d realize just what it means
They’re more than atom bombs or falling stars

And though the war may be through there’s unrest and trouble brewin’
And those flying saucers may be just a sign
That if peace doesn’t come it will be the end of some
So repent today, you’re running out of time

When you see a saucer fly like a comet through the sky
You should realize the price you’ll have to pay
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day

This is just one of MANY legit unmanned “drone” stories which have appeared over the past couple of years:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1690674/posts

FR has been replete with stories of “drones” being fashioned for everything from simple observation to crowd control. The ones planned for use during the Chinese Olympics reportedly are saucer-shaped (that’s going to be fun!).

So while the thing with the “kitchen wisp” may have been a hoax, it’s just as likely it was a test.

They’re here, they ain’t interplanetary, and they’re a bigtime growth industry.

Well, for ET’s to have come all the way to earth, yeah, they would probably have to break a law or two of physics, but wormholes and parallel universes don’t break any of those laws (although, getting from the parallel universes to this one would present some problems). For them to just exist, and say, sit happily on their planet trillions of light-years away, doesn’t break any laws of physics.

In any case, I’m massively skeptical of this one, because if it was over the M5, I think more than just two people would’ve seen it, cause it’s not like some abandoned country road, it’s a huge highway going around London.

UFO PING LIST PING.

Please let Las Vegas Dave and I know if you want on or off the ping list.

When out and about . . . look UP!

Just don’t take any rides!

“In the Name of Jesus, OUT OF MY FACE! AWAY FROM ME!” works well.

Thanks for the ping.

So, what’s your interpretation of the increase in sightings; increase in brazenness of the sightings etc.?

This is England so it was probably just a prototype of a new civilian aerial surveillance drone.
