Picture: Is this a UFO?

TWO UFO sightings have been reported in the area.

Basil Donnor took a picture of a bright round object in the skies in Ryhall on August 1 while Alan Banks spotted two orange balls of light over his home in Thurlby on Friday night last week.

Mr Donnor initially went into his garden in St Tibba Way, Ryhall, to photograph a beautiful sunset but spotted the object on later inspection of the photograph on his digital camera.

When the photograph was blown up the following day on his 43-year-old daughter Sarah Donnor's computer in Parker Road, Stamford, a bright round object with a tail effect was seen.

Retired Mr Donnor, 74, describes the object as being a veil with a knot in it and believes it could be an inter-dimensional space ship.

He said: "I know people make ridicule of people who see UFOs. If it is not explainable, people can't accept it but I took a picture of it and I have evidence."

Mr Banks saw the balls at about 10.35pm when he had a cigarette outside his home in Chapel Lane.

He said one shot up before they both disappeared.

Mr Banks, 63, believes it was not plane having worked for 40 years at Aviation Traders.

He said: "It certainly wasn't an aeroplane.

"I really don't know what it was. I have had the mickey taken out of me and I really don't know. I have never seen anything ike this before."

People all over the country have been enjoying shooting stars thanks to the Perseid meteor shower over the last week.
