The initial
report
Written Account:
It was Saturday evening at 22.00 hrs on 25th June 2011. My husband was taking
photos of the night sky. We are on a caravan site in a place called Winthorpe
near Ingoldmells, Skegness UK. Whilst outside looking at the night sky we
noticed a red light coming nearer, there was no sound, it flew over the
caravans heading in the direction of the shoreline, as it came closer we
could see like a sphere above this red glowing light then in an instant it
vanished as though the light was turned off. We later took the dogs on the
dog field and saw it again coming away from the coastline back in land, I
froze as I was not at ease with the sighting again, we both decided that this
object was not an aircraft that we knew of. Again on the sighting as before
no sound in the air, it suddenly vanished into thin air whilst we were stood
watching it. Photos of the first sighting were taken and on closer inspection
once loaded on to pc we are unsure of what this thing is.

The Scene of the
sighting
Findings of the
investigator.
The light described
by (NAME HELD BY BUFORA) ‘a red light coming nearer, there was no sound, it
flew over the caravans heading in the direction of the shore line, as it came
closer we could see like a sphere above this red glowing light then in an instant
it vanished as though the light was turned off’, is very indicative of a
terrestrial aircraft.
RAF Coningsby is
operating military traffic from this area and it is reported that the new UK
UAV Taranis is being test flown from this base.
As you can see from the general dome effect of the aircraft, this would most
likely present a sphere effect at night. This craft has rarely been
photographed in flight and would be an unusual sight in the sky as the test
flights are limited to night flights for stealth purposes.
The aircraft is designed to fly stealthily and so would be virtually silent
in its cruise flight. Having personal experience with this aircraft from Bae
Warton Aerodrome, the investigator has witnessed the test flight of this type
of stealth out over the sea around the Blackpool area.
At night all you are able to see of this aircraft are a red light which
appears to switch off as the craft moves over the horizon and indiscernible
shapes which do not appear to be conventional aircraft, achieving the
objective of a stealth weapon.
The witness stated ‘we later took the dogs on the dog field and saw it again
coming away from the coastline back in land’, which again would be indicative
of a test flight returning back to base inland.
The witness then states ‘we both decided that this object was not an aircraft
that we knew of. Again on the sighting as before no sound in the air, it
suddenly vanished into thin air whilst we were stood watching it’.
By taking a look at the photograph which when expanded appears to show a
vaguely delta/echelon shaped object flying into the cloud base, it would most
likely to the investigator, be deduced that the aircraft was of a similar
shape to the suspected Taranis and coupled with the stealth capabilities at
night, the sudden disappearance of the object was most likely the object
moving into the cloud base and acting as a stealth weapon should.
Conclusion:
A misidentified
terrestrial stealth aircraft flown from RAF Coningsby. |
