The Cosford Incident

On the 30th and the 31st of March 1993 hundreds of people including police officers and military personnel reported seeing UFO's over the skies of England. The first sighting was reported in Somerset by a police officer and a group of scouts. They reported seeing a UFO which they described as looking like two concordes attached side by side, the sighting was also reported by numerous people in the quantock hills area a short while after. A family in Rugely in Staffordshire reported seeing a disc shaped UFO which they believed to be hundreds of feet in diameter. They followed the UFO in their car and thought they witnessed it land in a field nearby but when they got to the scene the UFO had completely disappeared. There were also dozens of reports of a triangular UFO also flying slowly and silently over the area.

A patrol of RAF police officers in RAF Cosford reported seeing a UFO flying over the base at a tremendous speed around 1,000 ft off the ground. They said the UFO was clearly visible but made no sound whatsoever. Later on the same day a Meteorological Officer at RAF Shawsbury also reported the same UFO. He describe it as being slightly smaller than a Boeing 747 and was flying at around 30-40 mph. He then witnessed the UFO to hover over a nearby field and fire a beam of light at the ground and start to scan the area as if looking for something. He heard a low humming sound emanating from the craft and stated it was quite unpleasant to listen to. When the beam retracted he noticed it didn't look natural and retracted slowly rather than just switching off. There were three further sightings at 21:30, 22:10 and 22:40 which were all reported to RAF Finingley. Numerous police officers throughout South Wales and Devon and Cornwall had also reported seeing a UFO over the course of these two days.

Radar data from the time show inconsistencies but was inconclusive with any proof of what was flying around the UK over the course of those two days. There were some accusations of black projects by the US military but the US military were also receiving UFO reports and were equally accusing the UK of having some involvement. Again as always the sightings have never been explained, they were investigated by the ministry of defence and other than theory's blaming space debris and Russian satellites there has never been a conclusive explanation. Due to the fact so many people including civilians, police officers and military officers had witnessed the UFO's they didn't try to blame weather balloons or the planet venus this time.
