A U-shaped object has been videotaped over Lewisham, near
London, in broad daylight by British UFO investigator
Christopher Martin. The tape was made in excellent daylight
weather conditions on July 1, 2001 and has been presented
to Ian Birdsall and Russell Callaghan of the British
UFO Magazine.
The object could be some kind of construction of terrestrial
origin, but it certainly is not anything ordinarily seen in the
skies. In this sense, it is reminiscent of the "platform UFO"
taped over Salida, Colorado by Tim Edwards in 1993 and
shown on television worldwide. The Edwards UFO was never
explained.
Christopher Martin has taped some of the most famous UFO
footage made over the British Isles. In general, multiple
witnesses are able to observe the objects during taping,
making hoax an unlikely explanation.
The British Civilian Aviation Authority has been asked to
provide an explanation for the object, but so far has not
offered one. As reported on Unknowncountry.com, British
researcher Ian Birdsall has recently obtained CAA records
revealing that there have been 30 airliner near misses with
UFOs in the UK in recent years.
To the naked eye, the object did not appear to be an
assembly of balloons, or any normal object at all.
