Ze Aliens are Comin!

Just had to post this. I love alien stories (or anything about the unknown really). Always have since I was a kid when my fascination for the unknown was insatiable - I couldn't read enough about it. I haven't heard or seen a good 'alien sighting' story for a while, but came across this and just had to toss it up here. Those who have claimed to have seen aliens or had encounters are often viewed by the general public as being LOCO... but if they are, then why all the fascination in the first place?

So, where credit is due, this is a copy/paste from the link.

25 June 2008

A SHAKEN soldier told last night how he saw THIRTEEN UFOs spinning in the skies above his military barracks.

He was among three squaddies who spotted the objects while out on night patrol.

He filmed them on his mobile phone and reported the close encounter to Army top brass.

Mystery ... UFO seen on soldier's video

Ministry of Defence experts were studying his report and video yesterday — after ordering the soldier and his pals NOT to say anything else about the incident. [LM: WHY NOT?!]

And three hours before a couple claimed they were followed by a strange light in the sky along the A5 near Shrewsbury.

Yesterday further mind-boggling evidence emerged as dog walker Bonnie Lewis, 29, told how she filmed seven UFOs at Bromsgrove, Worcs, last Friday.

The soldier recalled how he saw the amazing "craft" just after 11pm on Saturday, June 7 (2008).

Sky lights ... strange shapes seen by Bonnie

He said: "I was on duty in the guard room when the other boys outside began shouting. I went out to see what the commotion was about and could see thirteen craft in the skies.

"They were zig-zagging, but I filmed two before they disappeared. They were like rotating cubes with multiple colours.

"I made a full report to my commanding officers and gave them my footage. The other lads were as amazed by it as I was."

A 19-year-old private on patrol said he also saw the "fleet".

The soldier, who asked not to be named, said: "I saw these things flying in the sky and I told my guard commander.

"There were about 30 lights passing over for a few minutes, very high but not at a great speed. They were bright red. Another soldier saw them too."

An MoD spokesman said: "We deal with any UFO sightings to see if there was a military threat."

The Sun told last week how helicopter cops were confronted by an object as they attempted to land at their base near Cardiff the same night.

Cabaret duo Katy Cunnion and Russell Quinn claimed they were pursued by the light in the sky for nearly an hour at 1am the following morning.

And last night Bonnie told of seeing cylinder-shaped craft.

She said: "They weren’t from this world. They made no sound and had flashing dots inside."
