By Mark Beaumont A UFO was seen over Bury St Edmunds cathedral on Saturday night. Police confirmed a man reported the sighting. The man, who did not want to give his name, said he was walking near the cathedral at around 10pm when there was a sudden power cut. "I looked up at the sky - I was quite frightened. There was a grey thing spinning around and around. About four or five other people were looking up at the sky. "It went around the cathedral and then disappeared. Then I saw this bright orange ball fly through the sky from Churchgate Street towards the churchyard." He said a friend had subsequently suggested the sighting might have been something to do with the Christmas fair in the Abbey Gardens and on Angel Hill. "I'm just puzzled by it all," he said. A police spokeswoman said: "We did have a report of a large object in the sky for approximately 10 to 12 minutes that looked like a UFO." She added police had only received one report regarding the sighting. source & references: http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/news/UFO-sighting-over-Bury-St.4748543.jp |

LAURENCE CAWLEY A UFO spotted above St Edmundsbury Borough Cathedral was seen by a member of staff, it emerged today. Police were first notified about a UFO above the cathedral in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday night. The incident, which lasted just minutes, happened in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday night. It is understood the man saw the grey UFO spinning in the air near the cathedral before disappearing behind the Bury landmark. But it has now emerged a member of the cathedral's own staff saw the UFO as well. The cathedral's visitor officer Sarah Friswell said: “I mentioned it at our staff meeting yesterday and a member of staff did see 'it' as well. But I have to say no-one else has commented or 'phoned or mentioned it. “It happened in between two short power cuts, so we wondered if it was linked to that.” A police spokeswoman said: “We received a report at 10.43 pm on Saturday from a gentleman who said he'd seen a large object spinning in the sky for around 10 to 12 minutes, which looked like a UFO. This was the only report received." The apparent sighting comes just four months after similar reports of a UFO above the town's Mildenhall and Howard estates. Eyewitnesses told how, on September 3, they saw an object at about 9.30pm spinning and tilting above houses and appeared to change colour. permanent link: http://www.ufocasebook.com/2008c/burystedmunds.html source & references: http://www.eadt.co.uk/content/eadt/news/story.aspx?brand=EADOnline&category=News&tBrand=EADOnline&tCategory=News&itemid=IPED04%20Dec%202008%2011%3A18%3A42%3A300 |
