The Bristol area had some of the highest numbers of UFO sightings in England in 2022. The latest data shows 14 people called Avon and Somerset Police after allegedly spotting strange occurrences in the night sky.
This ranks our area as seventh in England, behind Greater Manchester where 26 sightings were reported last year. Greater London ranks second with 20 reports, followed by Lancashire and Hampshire with 19 sightings each.
A total of 497 UFO sightings were reported across the United Kingdom in 2022 and in a quarter of them, the UFOs were described by witnesses as “star-like”, while flying saucers were seen in only 6.8 per cent of the cases.

According to BonusInsider , the most likely time to spot a UFO is between 9 pm and 10 pm and on Saturdays. The most commonly reported UFO was “star-like”, as described in 126 reports. Other shapes were “orb” (80 reports), “circular” (55 reports), “cylinder” (52 reports), “sphere” (42 reports), and “triangle” (35 reports). Saucers or “discs”, as they are classified in the UFO Identified document, were spotted in 34 reports.
The data comes as Pentagon officials have announced that an alien mothership could be in our solar system and sending probes to Earth to monitor us.
The US intelligence hub has claimed that smaller probes could be being used in a similar way to how NASA explores other planets. A new report focussing on the restrains of unidentified aerial phenomena noted how a “parent craft” could send down smaller probes to Earth.
Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) director, Sean Kirkpatrick and the chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department, Abraham Loeb, warned of the possibility of a big ship out as more and more information is slowing being released by the US Government.
Formed in 2022, the AARO’s aim is to track anything unidentified. They wrote: “An artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions."
