CLEAR footage of what has been described as a UFO has been filmed in the vicinity of Stansted Airport just days before a BBC reporter said he had seen one.

The video, uploaded by 36-year-old ‘alvinol’ at the end of July shows bright white orbs hovering over the Essex/Hertfordshire border before whizzing off across the sky.

The footage was filmed from a car on the south-bound carriageway of the M11 near to the spot where BBC sports reporter Mike Sewell reported seeing a very similar object just two weeks after.

He had told BBC Radio 5 live that he had seen a “disc-shaped” object fly towards him with lights on the sides and on the bottom.

It is unclear if the two incidents are related, but the new video is certainly proof that there is something in the skies!
