It was 'moving and hovering in the sky'
A "cigar-shape object" in the skies of Mansfield are among recent Nottinghamshire UFO sightings as figures show nearly 1,000 have occurred across the country over the last two years. Newark and Strelley are also among the places in Nottinghamshire where UFO sightings have been reported, with ten being reported in the last two years overall.
It comes after the US Congress heard from retired Major David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, about possible evidence of extra-terrestrial contact. In a highly anticipated testimony before a House Oversight sub-committee, Mr Grusch said the US is concealing a long-standing programme that retrieves and reverse-engineers unidentified flying objects.
Just under half of all documented sightings include photographic or video evidence. A quarter of all sightings were of a “star-like” object or objects, moving across the sky. He said: “Despite progress being made in recent years to de-stigmatise the topic, there is still an air of trepidation when approaching the subject as the fear or ridicule is very prevalent.
“There is still a lot to come out about what the US knows, and ultimately this may lead to them revealing that the UK does indeed play a part in this work, and surely it is better for our secret-keepers to come out sooner, rather than later and completely lose the little remaining trust that we have in them.”
