An elderly Clifton man has recalled being "frozen to the ground" in awe after reportedly spotting a UFO fly above his home. Gerry Woodcock, a retired fish tackle shop owner, claims he saw the "marvellous" extra-terrestrial object on a summer afternoon around four years ago.
"What I saw was a big orange ball, about as big as two airliners, followed by two more grey objects. It came from the west and went towards the east," the 89-year-old told Nottinghamshire Live. "It was unreal, I was frozen to the ground it was so vivid. The clouds were at a medium height and it was just above them. It was absolutely round, there was no noise just moving. They were not of this world."
Mr Woodcock, who spotted them when returning to his house in Southchurch Drive at around 5.30pm after a day of fishing, said the objects were moving slowly for about two minutes before shooting off in synchronicity. He is now hoping his account will lead to more people coming forward.
