A Mystery Object Shaped Like an 'Audi R8' Has Been Seen 'Bouncing' in the Sky in Wales
WalesOnline ^ | 2 JUL 2022 | Aaran Lennox, Corrie David

"It's the first time I've ever seen anything that looks like an Audi R8 flying through the sky"

An unidentified bright white object has been spotted in the Welsh skyline, reportedly "bouncing" through the night. The object, which has been described as resembling an "Audi R8", was captured on film last weekend flying over the north Wales sky.

The car-shaped object was filmed flying over Colwyn Heights by garage owner Matthew Norbury last weekend, North Wales Live reports. The quick video shows the bright white object speeding through the sky, then making a sharp change of direction. It's this odd and swift change in direction that has confused viewers, who would have otherwise presumed it to be a fireball meteor. What do you think it looks like? Let us know in the comments.

Mr Norbury said: "It's the first time I've ever seen anything that looks like an Audi R8 flying through the sky." The sighting has not been recorded anywhere else and the ukmeteornetwork has no records of any meteorite sightings across the UK since May 2022.

According to the site Astronomy Stack Exchange, "meteorites of the same shower look [like they're] coming from the same point in the sky" and therefore don't change directions. However, if a meter breaks apart during travel it can appear to change directions.

Additionally, sightings of fireball meteors are reportedly rare, even though several thousand of fireball magnitude occur in the Earth’s atmosphere every day, according to the International Meteor Organisation. This is because a large majority of these occur over the oceans and uninhabited regions, or are hidden in broad daylight.

It’s obviously the escape vehicle from the Halo Campaign after the engines on the Pillar of Autumn detonated.

C’mon man!!

Or a drop ship from the Sulaco.

Or the escape vehicle from commercial towing vehicle Nostromo

Kinda looks like the Proteus from Fantastic Voyage.

Minus Raquel Welch in a skin tight wetsuit, though.

UFOs are now referred to as UAPs, for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
It's thought UAP is a more professional term and it's becoming increasingly more common as the US begins to seriously discuss UFO/UAP sightings.

I hope he’s getting better gas prices than we lowly earthlings below.

Rebranding to UAP is how they divorce themselves from 75 years of stone-walling the UFO phenomenon. They sure as heck don't want to talk about what happened to our ICBMs and SAC bases in the '60s.

A8, they have great performance numbers, but I didn’t notice those maneuvers in the track report.

> “Old man McGuiness is playing with his spotlight again.

While I can’t get the video to load your comment reminds me of something I saw on u-tube a few years ago.

A Japanese air-conditioner company used a searchlight to back-light an LCD video panel and project a video on the clouds in the sky. Considering that one can now buy white-light lasers I wonder.

It was me in my old Pinto. Scotty beamed me down some dilithiem crystals in liquid form to put in the gas tank. It was a real bitch getting it out of orbit over Wales without a heat shield. Spock was not amused. I tried to land at Heathrow London at 550 knots and stopped in Windsor with a path of destruction behind me. Most fortunately near a pub. I needed a drink. British intelligence denies all. LOL
