Sighting Details
In late May 2010 I was contacted by "Becky" (actual name withheld) who informed me of two unusual UFOs that her and her husband had witnessed over Burton-on-Trent.
It was 9.30pm on the evening of 23rd May, and was a clear and pleasant evening. The sun was just starting to set. Becky happened to look up into the sky, and was amazed to see two strange objects moving at speed. Both of the objects looked like silver coloured oval hoops. One of them had a piece sticking out of it.
They were on a straight flight path and appeared to be moving as fast as an aircraft would. The object with the protrusion from it was spinning and turning about different directions. The UFOs appeared to be completely silent.
The couple watched for a couple of minutes as the objects moved away into the distance. They could barely believe what they were seeing, and were convinced that it was something out of the ordinary.
Sighting Analysis
I have not been able to get in contact with the witnesses to ask them any more details on this sighting. But from the information they have provided, it certainly seems like an interesting sighting. The objects were obviously not conventional aircraft of any kind, I am certain of this because of their unusual shape.
However I do wonder if they were silver coloured novelty balloons, such as balloons in the shape of number 0's. Perhaps they were at a lower altitude and moving slower than how they appeared to be. The objects did not display any intelligent manoeuvres, and their straight flight path could be put down to them drifting in an air current. Also the fact that the one with the protrusion was spinning and rotating also points towards the possibility that the objects were being blown in the wind.
I feel that going on the current details of the sighting, this seems like the most probable explanation for what was seen. If the witnesses get back in touch they may be able to provide further evidence which points away from this possibility.

I believe I have footage of UFO's. It was also as the sun was setting. I actually recorded. We were amazed. Actually saw smaller crafts (3) either land on or go into the larger Craft.
