A mysterious cylindrical silver object, that changed shape as it flew through the air, was spotted in the sky above Woodmancote by sales executive Sarah Catton on Sunday afternoon.

The 24-year-old, who lives in Stockwell, is hoping the truth is out there.

“I was sunbathing in the back garden at about 1pm.

“I saw this thing in the sky, and I just thought it was very strange, so I took a couple of photos.

“It was way, way up high and moving really slowly, which I thought was odd. It wasn't going fast at all.

“It was blue and glittering. It was sort of spiralling and when it turned it seemed to bend in the middle.

“I have no idea what it was. I was showing my picture to people at work and they said I should come and talk to the Echo.”

Sarah says she doesn't particularly believe in UFOs or life on other planets and wouldn't be rushing to see the new X-Files movie out this week.

She said: “I'm not like that at all, I'm not a fan of science fiction particularly or much of a believer in aliens.

“I don't want people to think I'm weird, I just don't know what this thing was.”

“I don't know if anybody else saw it, I'm really interested to know what it was.”
