They're back. Are the aliens trying to make contact with Bracknell again?
Just months after a sighting above Coppid Beech Hotel sparked off a series of UFO reports around the town, Bracknell is back at the centre of an alien alert.
This time it was residents in Priestwood who reckon last Wednesday they could have been targeted by unexpected visitors from another world.
Just after 9 am, residents in Moordale Road saw a jet black spherical object with four claws coming out of the bottom as it hovered in the sky.
Julie Kendall said that she saw a dark solid object hovering a small distance above the ground.
She said: "Everything was really quiet and because the sky was so white I could see it really clearly.
"I didn't think it was a UFO at first but I started counting off other things that it could be and it just couldn't have been anything else.
"I was gobsmacked - I would have had the same reaction if I had seen a flying pig as I just stood there stunned. It really was amazing."
And UFO spotting is becoming something of a family thing in the household - a year ago Julie's dad, Terry Walters, claimed that he was abducted by aliens.
At the time he reckoned they cured his bad back which had baffled even top medical professionals.
Julie told the Bracknell News: "I thought that they must have come back to get my dad.
"It has made me think that they really are out there - seeing is believing."
Similar thoughts were also shared by a neighbour who described the scene: "At first I thought I was going crazy as it was so strange. But so many people were looking up at it so they must have been thinking the same as me."
