A FLEET of UFOs in formation has been photographed — on Google.

The nine silver spheres hover above a row of shops, including a Coral bookies, on the internet giant’s new Street View service.

Sun reader Faye Sharpe, 18, discovered them while viewing her neighbourhood of Wolverley Street in Bethnal Green, East London.

Faye said: “I was checking out the road to see if I could spot my mates. I thought it looked very strange and zoomed in.

“I thought it was some planes but they look pretty close together for that. Maybe they are UFOs.”

Yesterday baffled ufologist Nick Pope said he was “very excited” by the image, which he labelled “truly fascinating”.

He added: “It appears to show nine objects flying in near perfect formation. About the only thing I know that can do this is the Red Arrows — and it’s not them.”

Mr Pope, who used to investigate sightings for the Ministry of Defence, said: “I’ve run through the list of possibilities that normally explain these things, but I can’t find an answer.”

Yesterday The Sun visited the street to talk to locals about the mysterious find. Holly Riding, 19, said: “It’s definitely weird.”

Karishma Daswani, 22, added: “The fact that they are flying in formation is very strange.”

Oriele Calvert, 44, said: “This is definitely the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in Bethnal Green.”

Street View, on Google Maps and Google Earth, shows 360-degree views of 25 cities throughout the country.

Looks like swamp gas with Venus being reflected off of it to me.

“No matter how I move around, I don’t see the supposed UFOs.”

UFOs can remove themselves from the picture retroactively. I saw this on Green Acres once. Eventually, only Eddie Albert could remember the aliens.

Oddly enough, our Obamanation government seems to have similar powers.

I have a similar photo from an air show. Those could be jets.
