On 22nd July, retired school teacher John Powell photographed an RAF Hercules coming in to land.  The plane itself was not the target of his photograph though, rather it was the metallic grey object apparently following it.

The Ministry of Defence has stated that it will NOT investigate the UFO sighting, insisting that air space has “not been comprised”.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, we can now request copies of official documentation regarding any UFO sighting, so it will be interesting to see exactly why this one isn’t going to be investigated!
