A Shropshire man saw something that blew his mind and to this day still seeks the truth to what he saw whilst innocently minding his own business on 30 March 1993.
But this is no ordinary UFO story - hundreds of people all across the UK saw the same craft on the same night. It has been dubbed the 'British UFO Mystery' and is now regarded as one of the UK's biggest UFO incidents to date.
To date in the UK there has been thousands of UFO sightings, some good, some bad, and some simply explainable. However, thousands of genuine people cannot be wrong in what they see and witness?
The UK MoD announced on 1 December 2009 it will no longer have a dedicated UFO desk in operation investigating reports.
But I am sure that somewhere and someone in the MoD will be looking out for reports, and at the end of the day if UK airspace is intruded by an unknown craft it has to be investigated properly. The more reports people come forward with, the more the truth will come out!
On 30 and 31 March 1993 there was a series of UFO sightings in the UK involving over a hundred witnesses. Many of these were police officers and military personnel as the UFO flew directly over two local RAF bases. It was dubbed 'The British UFO Mystery'.
As a 16-year-old at the time of the incident I was preparing to enter the army as a solider with the army air corps. Since the age of 12 I had been a member of the cadet force in which I held the rank of flight sergeant in the royal air force section. So as you can imagine I had extensive knowledge of all types of military aircraft in this country but also in other countries. I also had good knowledge of civilian and or NASA type aircraft and satellites. Being a member of the cadets I was a frequent visitor to RAF Shawbury airbase near my home where I went flying in fixed wing and non fixed wing aircraft.
I had and still have a big interest in aircraft.
On 30 March 1993 at approximately 11pm I was walking home from my part time job at the local bowling alley in the northern outskirts of Shrewsbury. My parents at the time owned a public house called the 'Harry Hotspur' and it was only 600 metres from my work along Harlescott lane.
The walk only took me normally approx 10 minutes. As walked back and got to within 100 metres of my home, my eye caught a slow moving structured object moving from left to right, south to north, in the sky approx 300ft up!
As I got to my home, I continued to watch this object. It was a black triangle shape, structured, approx 200ft in length and approx 150ft to 200ft in diameter. It was very defined, and blocked out the stars, as it was a clear night with no clouds. On the two rear points of the triangle I noticed a faint red or orange coloured glow and at the front the triangle was omitting a brilliant white light, and this was moving back and forth as if was looking for something.
The triangle was moving very slowly, I would say about walking speed, I could hear nothing but a very low humming sound that was irritating to hear. I also felt warm and the sense of being watched, or at least whoever or whatever was controlling the triangle knew I was watching it!
Opposite my house, at the time was rough ground and fields and the triangle continued to move north over them with the white light flicking back and forth randomly. At this point I estimated that I had been watching this craft for about two minutes when all of sudden it shot off to the north at incredible speed making no sounds at all.
I knew that this craft was not a military or civilian aircraft and I rushed into my house and woke my parents up to tell them what I had just witnessed, all of us then went outside to see if we could see the craft but there was nothing.
Basically that was that for me, I never told the authorities because I didn't know what to do and during my time in the military I never spoke of the incident as I didn't want to be ridiculed.
However it was only 2007 when I found out about the Cosford incident and what I witnessed was linked to sightings all over the UK that night.
Ever since the incident I have had a feeling of knowing that the craft will come back, it makes me feel uneasy but at the same time I want to know where it was from and why it was here? I can go back to the very same spot today that I witnessed the craft and get the same feeling all over again...
Since then I had researched and studied the subject and all related. Now I am a recognised and known UFO investigator in the UK and around the world. My aim is to share knowledge with the public as we have a right to know. You can read more about what I do on my website www.ufoshropshire.co.uk
I 100% believe that UFO and extraterrestrials are with us constantly, and it is only a matter of time until it is fact.
The truth is out there we just need to find it...

Of course there's one simple reason for that: The UFO's won't go away.
People just keep seeing, filming, and otherwise documenting these things, whatever they are.
And I don't care how much our military/industrial complex likes to boast of their prowess, the only way they could possibly have such tech, would be because they jacked it, and are not the original owners.
And people use that poor explanation as if it weren't a major concern that such VAST technological leaps forward are being hoarded for the exclusive use of a few unknowable spooks from some alphabet agency, rather than used to get humanity out into space, or solve our energy problems. A so-called 'breakaway civilization'. Besides, if the military actually had such tech, they would damned well use it, if for no other reason than to validate the expenditures of the project, and test the weapons system in battle.
But that hasn't happened...
a publishing deal there's a way.
If you are claiming that no 'sophisticated mammals' in a cosmopolitan area have made sightings, and even filmed such objects, then you ARE making stuff up.
I'll bet there's a few astronauts, ex-Presidents, pilots both civilian and military, air traffic control tower operators, doctors, police officers, soldiers, and members of a long list of other professions probably more 'respectable' than yours, and requiring greater powers of accurate observation of detail under duress than yours, who would doubtlessly take serious issue with that 'sophisticated mammals' comment.
Hillbillies indeed...
Most people who report such things stand to gain nothing. In fact, the only thing they stand to gain is the ceaseless ridicule of people like you who've decided there is nothing to it, before even looking into the matter.
Your effort to do anything but prove your ignorance of the issue under discussion, has failed.
Still shouldn't worry because Im sure the Mayan calender is right.
Your ball my friend. Astonishing claims require astonishing facts.
Didn't think too much about it until it was reported as seen by others on the following night's 6pm news, described as a bt, and seen on radar @ Manchester.
Seen any videos of sightings of god on the news, or internet lately? Of course not. Because he doesn't exist.
Now, following the logic of the skeptic, since so many people believe in god, Jesus, etc., then we should be seeing all kinds of claims, videos, credible official reports, and physical trace evidence related to sightings of god or his alleged son. Should we not?
Any Geiger counter readings? Chemical residues god left behind? Footprints on the ground? Pictures? Video? Audio? Testimony of very credible people, corroborated by other forms of impartial evidence when he is seen? UFO cases do.
Most importantly, when some sighting of god IS claimed, the claimants nearly always desperately seek to avoid scientific scrutiny of their claims.
With UFO's, the serious researchers have been doing little else but try to get the scientific establishment to seriously investigate. Which they flatly refuse to do, because without even looking into the evidence, they've decided there's nothing to it.
A very deeply unscientific, prejudicial attitude to have, by the way.
A requirement for scientific acceptance is repeatability. Proof of the existence of phenomena currently beyond scientific comprehension would be obligatory.
More than a decade of study has not resolved the regularly occurring effects observable in the Hessdalen valley in Norway. When science cannot or will not acknowledge that which can be investigated, authority is diminished. If a rendition of reality categorically states that everything is known. Then no amount of anomalous contradictory data will disquiet it.
“There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are in your Philosophy, Horatio.”
That is willful, institutionally systemic, dogmatic ignorance. Not science.
