UFO REPORT – SOUTHPORT

Exciting fiery object creates panic for Southport residents.

By Pat Regan

DATE: Saturday, 3 March 2012.

TIME: 21.41 hrs.

LOCATION: Sandbrook Road, Ainsdale Southport.

I was eating a meal when I noticed a strange light in the sky.

I immediately knew it was something highly unusual and rushed towards the back door to get into the garden for a better look.

I called to the children to get my camera.

On entering the garden the whole family witnessed the strange UFO. It had what looked like a tail spitting green and orange fire or sparks. It travelled from north to south and at a possible altitude of approximately 2 – 3 hundred feet. It was totally silent.

It moved parallel to the ground and we all watched it for about 20 seconds before it disappeared from view.

The colourful tail was quite amazing and something we shall never forget.

I immediately rang Paul Harrison, a coast guard friend, and left a message for him.  

I also rang the police – log number 1663. The police officer who took the call was named ‘Alison’ and she informed me that several officers and other people had also witnessed the UFO.

 I explained to Alison that I was the author of UFO: THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH and that this was NO publicity prank.

I advised her that the UFO was similar to asteroid pictures I had seen before.

My wife Cath also later spoke to Councillor Tony Crabtree who informed her that his son had seen it in Birkdale.

I also informed my Local councillor, Brenda Porter, about the sighting in case other residents contacted her. 

I am currently sceptical that it was an aircraft in distress, although the possibility remains that it could have been one.

I feel it was more like an asteroid, meteor or comet-shaped type of object with its fiery tail and unusual path of flight.

Failing this then it may have been of extraterrestrial origin.

Sadly, I did not manage to get a picture of this particular UFO.  

Whatever it was it created anxiety for many residents and was possibly a threat to our UK airspace and must, I believe, be investigated by the MoD.

I keep an open mind.
