Photographer captures 'alien craft' during Red Arrows display

A photographer claims he has captured an "alien craft" during a Red Arrows display. The "black, anamolous object" was seen on Saturday, June 3, at around 5.33pm at the Torbay Airshow.

The photographer, who has asked to remain anonymous, estimated the strange object was travelling "at least 1000mph" when it "shot right through the middle of their display", Devon Live reports. He also said he has previously captured the strange objects from his home in Newton Abbot, and last month photographed an eerie shape following an RAF helicopter.

He said: "It was a beautiful hot sunny day and the sky was blue with all round good visibility which was really great as it was the Torbay Airshow over this weekend.

"I had been sitting on Preston Sands for hours on end photographing all the aircraft hoping to capture some anomalous objects in the process. The tide had suddenly changed and the water was now at my feet, so I had to quickly move to a different location to photograph the last display which was the Red Arrows.

He added: "I moved from the beach and sat in a grassy area across the road which had a great vantage point away from everyone else as it was rather busy. I was very excited to see the Red Arrows and I sat there in anticipation waiting patiently for their arrival.

"Moments later I finally heard them approaching from behind and I looked up and saw them fly directly overhead. The main event had now begun and I was really determined to capture an anomalous object near them like I have captured many times in the past. I immediately started taking photographs while enjoying their colorful aerobatic display."

But this is when the object finally made an appearance. He continued: "They were in formation when suddenly without warning a black anomalous object shot right through the middle of their formation at terrific speed.

"I could hardly believe what I was seeing, this object must have been going at least 1000mph as it passed dangerously close to the Red Arrows as it shot off and disappeared from view. Fortunately, I had managed to capture this fast-moving anomalous object with my Nikon P900 camera which was set to burst mode.

"I had successfully captured an anomalous object near the Red Arrows once again like in previous years. These alien crafts are ever-present within our skies when will the British government come forward and admit to this alien presence?"

The keen alien hunter on the beach was not the only person to notice the strange black object during the Red Arrows' display. Emma Smith was also at the show on Saturday and spotted something strange in the sky when looking back at her photos from the afternoon.

She said: "I was going back through my Red Arrows photographs that I took near Paignton Pier at around 5.45pm on Saturday and I noticed a black speck fairly close to the aircraft. I zoomed in and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing.

"It was the shape of a spinning top and definitely was not a spec on my lens. I only have an iPhone but the zoom capacity is fairly decent.

"I'm just gutted that my 'live' photos were turned off so I can't see any movement of the object. I took a number of pictures in a burst but the object only appeared in one.

"I honestly don't believe in all this UFO stuff but this is hard to explain."
