UFO accidentally ‘captured’ by Customer who couldn’t outside Tesco store

A woman in England got more than she bargained for after a shopping trip to Tesco when she ‘accidentally’ took this photograph of a supposed UFO after stopping to take a picture of a pretty sunset. Cat Thompson was struck by the beautiful sky in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England, and after snapping the scene uploaded the photo to a family Whatsapp group.

Only later did Cat notice the strange anomaly in the photo, with her family members pointing out the strange ring-shaped object in the sky. Thompson was shocked by the revelation, as her sister, Julia Williamson, confirmed.

«Cat took the picture because she loved the colour of the sky. We noticed the ‘UFO’ a few minutes afterwards. Cat was on a completely normal grocery shop. Her husband noticed the strange object first and made some joke on our WhatsApp group about ‘aliens not included,» she said.

However, while Julia said she believes there are UFOs out there, she doesn’t think that extraterrestrials will be visiting Uttoxeter any time soon. «While we all agree there are unidentified flying objects, or whatever the most up to date phrase is, none of us believes in little green men visiting Uttoxeter I’m afraid,» she said.

«However one can see how such pictures would appeal to believers and it certainly sparked a bit of a debate. I am pretty surprised how even modern cameras can bounce light around to trick the eye.»

Debate was stirred on Facebook, with many people giving their opinion on what the ring-shaped object hovering in the sky may be. «My (uneducated) guess would be… Saturn,» wrote one person.

Another person wrote: «I’d say lens flare, but if you zoom in it looks a bit like a sliver of the moon through a hole in the clouds.» One social media user wasn’t sure what the aerial object may be. «It’s definitely interesting. Many comments here say it’s a lens flare but those are usually greenish to blueish so I don’t know if I agree. If she didn’t see it at the time, it’s probably a lens flare…but still…,» they wrote.
