More UFO's spotted over Salford
Dismiss them if you will, but more reports are coming in of UFO sightings in Lower Broughton.


Nearby airports, the use of chinese lanterns and the proximity of M60 traffic have all been cited as reasons to Salford's boom in UFO spotters.

The latest spotter, Johnny from Salford, told the UK UFO website that on August 16, at approx 2am, he saw "lights flashing on and off in different locations in the sky."

His witness statement is below:

"Forget chinese lanterns. Let's talk about objects that seem to be under intelligent control.

"We live in the Lower Broughton area and at around 2 am had been in the kitchen making some food. I had looked out of the window and there was a bright star in the sky (looking in the direction of Strangeways).

"This was normal, and I had seen it the night before. I then went into my living room and back into the kitchen when I noticed two stationary white lights to the left of the star, and slightly above it.

"As I notified my girlfriend to come into the kitchen they faded away to nothing ie they dimmed.

"A short time later I started to see lights flashing on and off in different locations in the sky, so notified my girlfrind again to come and have a look.

"We then both witnessed a white light appear out of nowhere, it then dimmed a little and moved to the left and shortly after made a very bright pulse/flash, then carried on moving towards the left as it dimmed again into nothing.

"Five minutes later I saw something similar to what I have just described except this time it was two objects and no pulsing on this occasion, witnessed by both of us.

"I would also like to add that the night before I saw a bright star like object travelling from the salford preicent area( roughly)traveling in a straight line, at quite a slow speed, over our tower block, in the direction of the MEN arena.

"I have witnessed this many times in the five to six years that I have lived here, maybe ten to twelve times at a guess.

"These recent events that I'm reporting happened on the fifteenth and sixteenth of august.

"The singular star object at around 3.00 am and the multiple sightings at around 2-3.30 am."

I live in Pendlebury & saw 2 things on Monday evening. One was a metor, they end of the storm that had been passing through our atmosphere recently, but the other wasn't. It was moving north & looked like a star that faded out after a few seconds.. I've lit & used chines laterns myself & it wasn't one of them! PB

I actually saw a guy in his mid 50's on Lower Broughton Road, opposite the Cricket pavilion lighting one of these Lanterns last week, about 10.00PM, in his front Garden, why I don't know.
