(Original headline: UFO scare in the sky for woman )
A Bridgtown [Staffordshire, England] woman says an 'alien craft' spotted over her house scared the living daylights out of her.
The UFO sighting happened at 12.30am Sunday as the woman and her husband were chatting to their neighbour in North Street.
A self confessed non-believer (until now) she told The Post: "I wouldn't have believed it unless I had seen it for myself. I thought such things were a load of codswallop."
The woman, who does not wish to be named, is in her forties and does not drink.
She said her neighbour first noticed the triangular craft, which had a white halogen-type light around the edges, and dull green lights at the points.
The lights were not flashing and there was no sound whatsoever. It moved over the house, lower than an aircraft, then shot off at great speed towards the Poplars tip.
The woman estimates it was about the size of a car.
"I just said 'oh my God'. It was really weird," she told The Post. "The shape was so vivid. We just stood there open-mouthed."
The woman and her husband kept watch until about 1.30am but did not see it again.
Now they wonder if any other local folk saw it.
Graham Allen, from Staffordshire UFO Group said there were also sightings reported that night in Telford.
"Over the last month there have been a number of reports about orange balls of light. One of the reports was from a JP."
"If the UFO in Bridgtown had no sound and was moving at rapid speed it is difficult to explain away with the technology we know of."
He said, interestingly, in the 1990s there were reports of orange lights - and triangular shapes at the same time.
"The two seemed to be synonymous," he added.
In the past when people have reported small equilateral triangular crafts there have also been sightings of isosceles triangular shapes the size of football pitches spotted at the same time.
Bridgtown Parish Council chairman Councillor Eddie Smith said: "Obviously they've come to the most futuristic place on the Chase to find a UFO launch pad."
