One reader said he saw UFOs on two occasions in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A keen angler, he was fishing at Weston Favell Mill one evening when he noticed a large bright light, travelling erratically in his direction.
The light dimmed as a li
ght aircraft approached, but then began moving again.
"It never regained the brilliance as before, but as it approached, it resolved itself into an opaque yellow-orange ball," he said.
"It passed overhead, not a sound could be heard. And what's more, it wobbled in flight. Unlike the aircraft that I would see all the time, this object would not fly in a straight line; it wobbled from side to side in its forward motion."
Several months later the same reader was fishing in Midsummer Meadow when he spotted another UFO.

He said: "To start with I thought it was another aircraft. From the side all that could be seen was an oval-shaped fuselage and an orange-red glow from the rear. I quickly realised there was no sound from the craft, which was no more than two hundred yards away."
A pensioner from Spinney Hill, Northampton, who worked in the aircraft industry, told MoD officials he had seen four small, star-sized and rust-coloured objects travelling at immense speed and swerving in front and behind each other, while walking his dogs in Barnes Meadow in September 2003.
Despite questioning MoD officials, the pensioner remains mystified by what he saw.
He said: "I just wish someone would tell me what it was."
