UFO spotted over Cleethorpes

STRANGENESS was spotted in the skies over Cleethorpes this week as two witnesses – one a reporter for the Grimsby Telegraph – saw a UFO.

The incident – which the RAF can't explain – happened on Wednesday afternoon, at around 4.30pm.

Mum of two Gemma Wetherill (26) from Richmond Road said: "I was taking my little boy Camron to go shopping when I saw the objects in the sky.

"We were at the bus stop on Highgate when my boy happened to look up.

"He was quite surprised.

"What I saw above me were two silver cigar shaped objects.

"At first it looked as though one was towing the other.

"When they reached the former Thrunscoe School buildings, they began to separate.

"They made absolutely no noise, nor did they leave any sort of trail like a plane."

It was at this point she got a picture with her mobile phone – and videoed it.

"I watched them until I could not see them anymore."

She added that despite all the air activity people living in Cleethorpes are used to this was different: "I have never seen anything like this before.

"It makes you wonder exactly what is out there."

However she is not alone. The strange objects were also seen in the sky by our very own Cleethorpes reporter Conrad Emmett, driving along Grimsby Road. He said: "I looked up for a second and saw what could have been two objects with lights on them, close together. They didn't look like anything I had seen up in the sky before. The lights were very bright, like floodlights, rather than those you see on a plane.

"However I couldn't look too long, because I didn't want to run anyone over.

"I thought nothing more about it until we got an email from Gemma saying she saw the same thing at the same time."

A spokesperson for the RAF Cranwell said the only traffic in the sky at that time was piloted by the 45 (reserve) squadron – a King Air.

Conrad said: "I'm sure that they are not what I saw. Just makes you wonder exactly what we saw..."
