Man shares picture of 'UFO' but people are torn as some say it's 'one of ours'

A man believes he has witnessed a UFO and even managed to capture a photo of the sighting - but his evidence has left people torn.

Shane Draper, 30, spotted something strange in the sky as he was driving to work just before 8am and pulled over to get a better look, initially concerned it was an aeroplane "crashing".

The flying object, spotted near Shane's home in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, "looked like it was on fire " but then it made a "very sharp" turn - too tight for a plane.

Shane then realised it must be a UFO - so he captured a few quick photos and shared them with his friends online, but people were unconvinced.

What do you think Shane saw? Let us know in the comments...

Shane, an IT technician, said: "I'm not sure what it is - it looks like a plane crashing but it was turning very sharply, so I checked flightradar24.com and there were no flights in that area at that time.

"At first I thought it was a plane crashing as it was in the direction of Luton and looked like it was on fire with black smoke.

"There have been a few other sightings, all on the same morning around the same time."

But after he shared his picture not everyone was convinced, and many said it must have been a plane.

One person commented: "I'm no expert but that's a plane."

"That's geoengineering you're looking at. Very man-made," another user insisted.

Someone else said: "I've been working at an airport for 31 years and that's a plane peeps."

"It was a bit odd I also took a photo it was the turn on it that caught my attention. Don't think it's aliens though," another person added.

Someone else commented: "Definitely a plane, there's water vapours from the exhaust also known as contrails. So clearly it's a normal combustion engine. I believe in aliens but I feel it's pretty easy to spot what is ours and what isn't."

But other viewers seemed more open-minded, as one person joked: "If I was an alien I would make a U-turn from Milton Keynes or Luton too."

"Whatever it is, it has controlled flight," another person pointed out.

Someone else added: "Looks like something is definitely coming down. Great pic."

Another used dubbed it a "space snake", while others shared pictures of aliens in a show of apparent support.
