Spaceship '20 times size of football field' was spotted over Brit airport

London, Aug 5 (ANI): A sketch of an unidentified craft hovering over Manchester Airport that was sent to the MoD by a UFO expert in 1995 has shown that the object was "20 times the size of a football field".

The secret MoD files, which have been released for the first time on August 5, showed the expert described the craft as oblong with a curved front and a series of small nozzles at the rear.

The files also included a "cigar-shaped" object above Lancashire in 1977 and a "strange, glowing object" near RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, in 1980.

A man claimed to have spotted an alien invasion in Morecambe, Lancs, in 1997, while a black triangular craft was seen in Stanley, Co Durham, in 1995.

And a circular "space station" was reported in Gwent, South Wales, in 1998.

"A proportion of sightings could not be explained," the Sun quoted ex-MoD expert Nick Pope, who worked on the files, as saying. (ANI)
