SIGHTING: SHREWSBURY, ENGLAND (UNITED KINGDOM)

Witness Testimony

"I nearly deleted this footage as i had uploaded it to dropbox back in november 2018, but came across it again recently. whilst outside for a smoke at approx 0649 hours on 13th november 2018, i noticed a strange sphere hovering in the sky outside our village. the sky was fully clouded over and there were no aircraft operating in the area. the sphere was stationary over fields to the south west of our village called ford, which is about 4 miles west of shrewsbury. it was approx 500ft to 700ft in the air and pulsated weirdly. the sky was full of clouds so could not of been a star, planet or aircraft. the nearest airfield is raf shawbury and they do not operate their helicopters at that time of the morning, plus they are way over to the north over 12 miles away! i started to film on my galaxy s8 phone and whilst doing so my partner also came outside and witnessed this weird sphere. there was no sound, it did not emit any lights or objects and it just pulsated randomly. as i started to zoom in and out on the sphere with my phone, my phone suddenly stopped working and all the birds fell silent. in the video footage you can see that it stops dead at 45 seconds. my phone locked up and i could not access it for about 5 minutes. i am ex military having served in the british army, and i am very familiar with all aircraft. i was easily able to rule out a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft using its approach landing lights. strangely, at about 0705 hours a british army air corps apache longbow helicopter started to operate low over the very same fields for approx 20 minutes. it was clearly circling around as if the pilot was looking for something. this was highly unusual as again the military do operate aircraft in this way at that time of day so close to a residential area.
