Amateur astronomer photographs UFO hovering over Devon

London, Sep 25 (ANI): A Brit amateur astronomer has managed to photograph what he claims to be a UFO hovering over Devon.

Lee Betts, 29, spotted the glowing red shape hovering 1,000ft up in the night sky from his bedroom window, and then moving across the sky for more than an hour on September 21 before shooting off into the distance.

Betts, of Newton St Cyres near Exeter, said he watched the unidentified object through a telescope before taking the pictures at 9pm.

"I couldn't believe it at first. The shape was about 100ft long and there were four lights coming from it initially," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

"The shape moved slowly and it seemed to pivot on a central axis. Then, without warning, a sudden flash of light like a shooting star went across the sky.

"It was very strange. I have been an amateur astronomer for the past three years and I've never seen anything like it before. It's unexplained," he added.

A police spokesman said they had not received any reports of a UFO sighting in Devon. (ANI)
