UK UFO Sightings

Location of Sighting: River Pettril ,Harraby, Carlisle, Cumbria
Date of Sighting: Saturday October 17 2009
Time: 1310
Witness Name: David Thompson

Witness Statement: I was walking my dog along the river Pettril and reached a small bridge , near Dale End Road in Harraby , Carlisle. When i crossed over ,an old couple were with their dog which was playing in the water . One of them said look up , its a glider . Sure enough there was a hang glider passing overhead going to our right . Then i looked further across to our left and saw what looked like a passenger jet plane . It was clear blue skies and you could see the smoke coming out of the rear of the plane . Then i noticed something flying very close to the aircraft . It was long , silver ,had no wings or smoke coming out of the rear . You could clearly see the trail from the other aircraft . The long thin silver object seemed too close to the plane and for a short while shadowed the aircraft before heading off in another direction. A man , coming from the direction i was heading said he missed the unusual occurance but a man sitting on a bench in the nearby park had seen something strange.. If it wasn’t for the old couple noticing the glider i would probably not have looked up.
