Exclusive pictures UFO spotted in Cannock

The trail of flame burnt through the night sky, a silver ball, shrouded by the angry inferno, barely visible.

Those gathered gasped as the craft abruptly flipped, seemingly on its side, revealing a jet black spherical shape.

These are the sights a growing band of UFO spotters have been treated to over the last few weeks. And on a cold Tuesday night I joined them.



Logical tells us we’re not experiencing a Close Encounter of the Third Kind - despite a plethora of X File sightings in recent weeks.

We, at The Mercury, don’t believe in UFOs.

But take a close look at this picture, taken this week, and tell us what the hell is up there.



The object - a burning trail in the sky - moved from the direction of Pye Green tower, arced, then disappeared, the flames suddenly extinguishing.

Thomas Zachariou first witnessed the weird light show six weeks ago. Since then there have been a number of ‘visits’.

The 35-year-old said: “The first time, the silver balls were clustered together. They reminded me of jelly fish - then they all separated.

“I have never, ever seen anything like this. Last week, it was there for three minutes. All we could see was glowing light, then the light went off and you could see the black base. It went sideways.”

Experts have blamed the spate of sightings on Chinese lanterns. Those who gather near the Pye Green fish bar, some armed with binoculars and telescopes, are adamant they’re watching something a lot more exciting than Oriental decorations.

Chip shop owner Zak Zachariou, who witnessed the fire in the sky last Wednesday, remains sceptical over alien spacecraft. He knows, however, he’s seen something that cannot be explained. “I saw a UFO, I didn’t see a UFO from another planet, but I saw a UFO.”

His theory is backed by prominent Chase astrologer John Armitage. He said: “There are a number of Yankee black projects they don’t let you know about - crafts that have capabilities that you wouldn’t know about. Because you see something with unusual properties, it doesn’t mean it has to be alien.”

Last word from Rosehill resident Donna Maddox, 31, who is among the watchers. “I didn’t believe in UFOs,” she said, “but I do now.”

Good interesting piece this Dboysy, it would be good to have the weather conditions as this object/s are moving quite eratically and the fact that Chinese lanterns are so widely used as stated in the report, nowadays seems to be a first consideration.

The fiery inferno red trail could be coincidental but ? not and these regular ufo watchers have to be given credit as several people can dispel a lantern once over the initial shock of the sighting so hopefully the following weeks will throw up more data.
The people interviewed all appear to be level headed regarding considering it a Ufo but of Earthly origin.

I was at the Glastonbury festival where loads of Chinese lanterns were launhed and none could be described as Silvery balls.

yea cheers guys. I knew the pics might be overlooked but the write-up is quite interesting. Good call on things like the weather conditions too. Would certainly help if we knew.
