Eagle-eyed internet users claim to have spotted a Ufo as the Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations kicked off on Thursday.
As thousands of people gathered in London last Thursday to mark the start of the Platinum Jubilee, which began with the Trooping the Colour parade and a display from Lincolnshire’s famous Red Arrows aerobatics team.
Flying in formation, the nine planes of the aerobatics team blasted over Buckingham Palace for the official flypast, creating a line of red, white and blue smoke in their wake.
The impressive sight captivated members of the public both on the scene and those watching at home, but upon closer inspection of the event some viewers think they’ve spotted a tenth flying object in the sky.
Footage from the flypast shared by both Sky News and BigJetTV shows a mysterious, circular object cutting directly across the colourful path left by the planes, zooming quickly away in a direction perpendicular to the jets.
Commenting on the sight on Reddit, one person wrote: “Just watched the BigJetTV angle again, this goes WAY too fast to be a drone or balloon in the wind. I’m inclined to say this is a genuine [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena].”
Another viewer drew attention to the small size of the object, writing: “It almost makes me wonder if the occupants are either really tiny or non existent. This almost looks like it could be a drone or even an autonomous vehicle.”
Other users have dismissed the sight as one of our own drones or as a bird, though one person refuted the latter suggestion by writing: “Hey dude I don’t know if you’ve ever heard a fighter jet before but I guarantee you no bird is going to fly towards them let alone travel through their wake like that. Have you even met a bird before bro.”
