- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Soure: Tamworth Herald
- Date: February 9, 1996
-
- UFO sightings around Tamworth have increased alarmingly in the last year
- according to a report by the Birmingham UFO society.
-
- The report, released last week, said before 1995 there has only been one
- sighting of a UFO near Tamworth in the last 20 years - of a hooped shaped
- object, about 8 inches in circumference, which disappeared after a few seconds.
-
- Sightings
-
- But there have been three sightings since mid-1995 within a few miles of the
- town.
-
- The society's report said in September, a large ball of light was seen by a
- Miss S. and two others in Amington.
-
- The ball descended and witnesses saw a triangular object, slightly higher than
- a lamp-post, with three lights on each corner and two across the middle.
-
- It made no noise and seemed to move towards them before shooting off.
-
- Binoculars
-
- Also in September, a Mr N. in Riverside, Tamworth was watching jets through
- binoculars on a clear morning, when he saw a small silver disk hovering above a
- Boeing 757.
-
- The disk remained stationary while the plane passed by, then after three
- minutes it accelerated away.
-
- White Beam
-
- Finally an object with lights on, emitting a white beam, was seen in November
- near junction 7 of the M42 travelling very fast.
