A BURY man claims he spotted a UFO in the area.
Jason Warner, aged 26, believes he had a “close encounter” after spotting strange aircraft flying over the Bury and the surrounding hills on August 2.
Mr Warner, whose high-rise flat on The Rock means he has a good view across the town, also saw flashes of light and a large object moving behind the clouds.
He said: “I was watching television at around 9.45pm when flashing lights in the distance got my attention.
“At first I thought this was lightning but I realised it could not have been a storm as there was no rain and no thunder. . . .
. . . “Then at around 10.30pm I began spotting aircraft going over my building in the direction of the original flashes, towards the hills.
“A round shape with two lights on the underside and a light in the middle which changed from red to green flew over and another identical object followed it closely.”
Mr Warner managed to capture video footage on his phone and camera of what he saw but could not zoom in closely as the objects were too far away. . . .
