Call new hotline if you spot UFO
The vast majority of UFO sightings or mysterious happenings have simple and logical, if often somewhat disappointing, explanations.
Now West researchers dealing with UFOs and the paranormal, have joined forces to launch a hotline for people to report intriguing sightings or occurrences.
-
The 24-hour line has been set-up by the Swindon UFO Research and Wiltshire Phenomena Research groups to cope with the inquiries and reports from the public.
From UFOs to spirits that apparently don't just come out of a bottle down at the local pub, they want to hear from anyone who has witnessed such happenings.
Chris Williams, of Swindon UFO Research, said: "Callers can contact us and we will route their call to an expert within either of the two groups who we feel would be best be able to handle the enquiry."
Mr Williams, who is in his early 40s, has spent half his life delving into UFO claims and formed the Swindon group in November 2007.
He said that since June last year the Swindon group had received 47 reports of mysterious objects in the skies, virtually all of which have been cleared-up with down-to-earth explanations.
"These have ranged from helicopters and aircraft to light shows and the appearance of Venus," he said.
His team received a string of reports of strange "dancing lights" in the skies to the north of Swindon last Thursday. It appears they were from to a light show at Cirencester College during an open day for prospective students.
Mr Williams said: "About ninety nine per cent of sightings have explanations like that. We can clear those up and concentrate on the one per cent where there isn't a logical or apparent explanation."
Reports can be left at 01793 484510.

“Our website www.uk-ufo.co.uk has received a number of UFO sighting reports from the public in the Wiltshire area this year. When we receive further Wiltshire sightings we will ensure the witness is made aware of the Swindon UFO hotline.”

“at aprox, 6:30pm on 27/03/09 10 people saw a glowing object of a bright white when moving at high speed and turning to dull red when slowing down and then too a matalic oval shape when it moved to about 300 ft from the ground and was sighted for about 20 mins and doing the same progress, like it was looking for somthing, speed to what it move at was as fast as the eye could keep track, later on at 10:00 ish we had 2 more sightings being monitored by 2 extra quet helicopter displaying loads of diffrent light towards them, hence blue red white yellow green, and also loads of aeroplanes was moving away from the earea and also lots of other planes were for some unkown reason coming around by our house and circularing 3-4 times before moving on(this never happens in our area cus we are out of the flight path to air bases) also these helicopters did not look like the normal please ones, mind you they only have one equiped with thermo and other image hardware, and that is station at devizes in wiltshire, and i know what it looks like and also know the colour, but these two were not of that type, ok the UFO at 6:30 also made virtualy no noise but their was like a sort of humming transformer sound but in a high freqency. but the amazing thing is tho is that their where 2 Airforce planes circularing around or trying to chase the objects after they were their for about 10 minuites,this means that the airbase they new they were their and scrambled fighter planes from a local airbase within minuites, Probably from brize norton, as raf lynham only seams to have hurculies and othe freit planes, any way would be nice to here if anyone else has comented on this sighting.”
