Full Description & Details

Three witnesses saw a UFO approach from the west. The principal witness attempted to capture the image on digital phone camera, and reported a sense that the object 'knew it was being observed' and changed course 'when I tried to take a picture'. The object slowly headed off in a northerly direction towards the town of Newmarket, Suffolk.

The UFO was estimated to be between 200-250 feet in size. It had a smooth, dark, non-reflective, metallic grey surface. It was travelling at between 30-50 knots at an altitude of 1500-2000 feet. It was a large classic cigar-shape. It flew silently with no visible markings.

The witness is cognisant of large air traffic (C130s, C141s, C5s and C17s) as location of observation is within ATC patterns of Cambridge Airport and RAF Lakenheath & Mildenhall USAF bases. Regular hot-air balloon over flights add to the witnesses observational credence.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No.
