The footage is quite interesting, but I do not agree that it is “the best ever seen” – some of the Mexico film is far more significant, in my view. Massive UFO Fleet Filmed Over The UK 
Large fleet of UFOs over the M25 – click to enlarge Having recently reported on what seems to be an increase in UFO sightings over the UK in the past few months, a reader has come up with the goods and sent in some outstanding film footage and photos of what must be the biggest ever UFO fleet filmed over the UK! What you are about to see is very similar to the UFO fleets filmed over Mexico City in the early 1990’s. We were contacted by Gene Harley on the evening of October 20th, who said that he had just seen a gigantic fleet of UFOs flying close to the M25, which he managed to film on his mobile phone camera. Gene spotted the strange anomaly in the sky whilst driving along the M25 with a group of friends which included David Kedwell. He stopped the car and retrieved his digital camera from the boot, which for some unknown reason decided not to work (a classic phenomena related to UFO encounters). Luckily, Gene had his mobile phone on him which incorporated a small camera and he took the photos and film footage that you see here. The still photographs do not accurately show the craft as they appear in the film footage – the reason is because of obvious camera shake which slightly distorts the actual shape of the objects caught on film. Click image to enlarge Gene was travelling clockwise on the M25, around 8:15pm on the evening of Thursday October 20th 2005. The UFOs were travelling somewhere between Potters Bar and Enfield, which is in Middlesex near London. There appeared to be at least 50 brightly illuminated flying objects, in a scattered, fixed formation heading roughly West to East away from the M25. It took about 4 minutes for the objects to pass over and head out of sight. Gene claims that none of the drivers on the motorway seemed to spot the giant fleet which was moving above them. He estimates that his group was looking up at the objects at about a 45 degree angle and that there seemed to be a fair amount of aircraft activity at the time. This leaves us with the question whether any of the pilots reported this incident to Stanstead, Heathrow or Gatwick airports? We hope to contact the airports and ask this question in the next few days. Gene has contacted the local media in his area, including the BBC and local news outlets, however, none of them seemed interested in his story which seems odd? One of the most amazing features that we can see in the footage is that each light seems to be flashing individually between white and red. This pretty much rules out the idea that this could be a plane because they only have a couple of flashing lights on the wings. A few of our readers have suggested that this footage could show birds. From personal experience, we have seen birds lit up at night as they fly over head, illuminated by a strong light source, but we found that they were only visible to the naked eye at a very close distance . The footage here suggests that the objects were quite a way from the camera and also take into consideration that Gene and his friends saw these objects for approximately 4 minutes as they travelled towards the horizon. The bird theory does not explain the flashing white/red lights. If the birds were reflecting light from the motorway (headlights and brake lights) then the light reflected on the birds would either be red or white, not both. (see update below) Without a doubt, this footage is the best we have seen of a UFO fleet anywhere, let alone over our home shores of the UK. We thank Gene Harley for providing us with the footage and for his cooperation with our ongoing investigations into this incident. (realplayer is needed to view the clip) Update – October 25th Gene Hartley has recently contacted us with an update. Apparently, the BBC in his area finally got their act together and have come up with the theory that the objects are probably Thai lanterns which were launched from a nearby wedding party. He disagrees. Gene claims that the objects could not have been birds, as some readers have suggested, because they were still illuminated as they flew above the dark fields which were miles away from the lights of the M25 and any other light source. We have also received a very interesting Email from a reader called Rachel which basically backs up Gene Harley’s sighting which occurred on the same day:’On Thursday 20th October I was travelling along the M25 with a friend and we saw a similar sight to that mentioned on your website. Somewhere close to Potter’s Bar we saw a row of between 20 and 30 lights ahead of us that looked like suspended street lights but at the height of aircraft and much bigger. Very strange sight that we could not explain. The lights were static because we drove under them. People in other cars were staring up as we were and one guy even stopped on the hard shoulder to take a picture with his phone. Couldn’t explain it so searched on the web, and found your site… thought you might be interested.’ Maybe the cameraman with the phone was actually Gene Harley? Its nice to have another witness come forward and substantiate what another reader has seen. Update – 26th October Another reader has sent in his sighting, encountered only a few miles from where Gene Harley first spotted the UFO fleet. ‘On Thursday 20th October I finished work in Chigwell at 9.05pm and drove along my normal route to Ongar. Approximately 9.15pm half way along the A113 London road to Ongar and approximately 1/2 mile before Stapleford Rivers, I noticed a number of cars parked in the few parking bays alongside the road. Looking up to my right, I could see the moon partly sheltered by cloud, and surrounding it were a number of bright lights. Initially I thought they were stars, however they were far brighter than I had previously seen. Slowing down I paid more attention to the scene. As the cloud started clearing I was able to make about 70-80 orangy bright lights, similar to street lights. They were stationary and appeared to be the approximate height of long distance aircraft. The lights were stationary and surrounded the shape of the moon. I continued driving for approximately a further minute. By this time, the cloud had covered the moon totally, yet through a clearing I was still able to make out a dozen or so lights of the same shape size and colour as previously seen. There was a difference this time as there was a more apparent glowing light in the centre of the others which appeared to be flickering and moving. The cloud eventually masked the whole view. To all readers, make of it what you will. However I cannot for the life of me explain such a vision’ We have made a map representation of the area where the UFOs were seen together with the approximate locations of the witnesses as they encountered them.
