UFO sightings unearthed for first time

UFOs have been spotted circling the skies above Walton, Addlestone and Cobham, according to the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Five sightings between 2002 and 2006 were reported to the government by worried sky watchers.

The sightings, released by the MOD for the first time, vary from bright circular objects, to oval discs with green and red flashing lights.

Some of them moved across the sky, while others are reported to "bob from side to side."

One was said to be "burning up" with a trail behind it which lasted a few seconds. Not a shooting star, they insisted, but a sign of extra terrestrial life forms.

There were three sightings in Walton between February 2002 and April 2002. Another was spotted in Addlestone on May 13, 2002.

Most, recently was a report of a UFO in Cobham on December 17, 2006.

Have you ever seen a UFO in Surrey? What did it look like? Comment below or call Kerry Grove on 0208 330 9550.

I did see a ball of light 30+ years ago.
It traveled fast. The sighting lasted no more than 30 seconds.
No sound as reported by others. It looked like an asteroid without its tail.
It was a ball of light period. It was as big as a basketball ?! Its speed was a lot slower than that of an asteroid going horizontally from west to east in Los Angeles CA, where I decide.
At the time, I figure I was about 12 years old. I am now 43 and I don't believe I will ever see a ufo in my life. If that was one, then, that was it!
My feelings about it is annoying because I feel like a dumb person when I remember it. People will think I nuts! So, that memory will remain with me for the rest of my life.

The situation in the world is becoming critical, due to the cover up about ufos and the increasing frequency of reported lights being seen. I urge you all to review the youtube video online called NASA Worm or NASA UFO Worm, it is a vehicle being brought to our planet by a UFO Tow Tug Vehicle, this orange orb doesnt move while the NASA vehicle is overheard in normal orbital flight path. The ufo knows the NASA vehicle will soon be out of range of its activities and then it will proceed...what the NASA crew sees and focuses on is the UFO Cargo ship. When the UFO Towing vessel releases it and move off to sit and wait, the cargo ship rolls gently in zero- G weightlessnes but its mass is huge and it will arc and the cargo holds will move about inside. The ufo cago ship was a flexible skinned type construction and it makes guessing the cargo potentially more exotic as in life forms for planting on our planet, as in our seas. I am sorry to have to shock someof you this way with the info but this is just the tip of the ufo research i have done in last 15 years of which the last 2 years have been very successful thanks in part to new tech such as YOUTUBE.com being online. For the more important info on my assumption we are being now under invasion by an Alien Race google my linlks to my comments by using google search.
the phrases to google are : steve tobias ufo,or, new jersey ufo.-- DERR
i am sending you this info in the hopes it can help you in your own personal attempts to understand what is going on in your nation. Nick Pope is not going to be a very good expert on ufos since he is not completely unbiased in his approach being ex British defense official at the ufo desk in your nation in the past. I am going to give you the basic form letter introduction i have sent out in the past to ufo researchers and others to aid them to see what the latest ufo research by me-- a real ufo researcher since 1991 -- is coming into being...serious work, serious research and reasons to seriously worry. You and your contacts, associates have a right to know what you are dealing with in this world should you be called out to investigate more ufo reported sightings... i hope this helps... any of my work can be printed in your newspapers etc if you so wish. sincerely, steve tobias, USA.

i saw one near leatherhead about 10 years ago. i was with my dad. we were driving towards it. both of us were in total shock. we could clearly see an oval like bright light in the sky and it wasnt that high either.

but when we got closer we saw it was a goodyear blimp.

we laughed. the end.

Hi, me and my boyfriend hav just got home. We had just parked the car in the drive and was about to open the front door when I looked up and saw two bright orange, flame like balls in the sky, they then merged together and slowly dissapeared, this lasted approx.2 min in total. I'm not sure of I believe in UFO's or Aliens, but this was really strange. We are sure its not a shooting star. Did anyone else see this?

Me and my Boyfriend saw pretty much the same as Hannah. Two bright orange balls of light travelling accross the sky, one slightly behind the other. The one behind seemed to speed up and got closer to the one infront before flickering and eventually going out. The other ball continued to travel accross the sky before doing the same.
Initially I thought that perhaps they were hot air balloons but you would hope not as they went out and there was no sound.
They were quite low in the sky. All in all I would say the whole thing lasted 2-3 mins. It was 23.30 on 30th May 2008.

Wondering if perhaps they were fire balloons, chinese lanterns or something similar. According to some websites this is a popular hoax.
Seemed very weird though but could be possible....?
