‘Alien orb’ at Manchester Airport was definitely a UFO

A British UFO expert and filmmaker, Mark Christopher Lee, has confidently stated that the orb seen above Manchester Airport is definitely an unidentified flying object. Lee, who has been delving into recent “drone” sightings around UK military bases, has shifted focus to a puzzling occurrence captured at the airport.

The June incident, brought back into the limelight through viral social media shares, has stoked fervent debate about the nature of the mysterious entity observed.

The visuals, making waves on X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit, showcase a spherical form purportedly snapped by a co-pilot on the airstrip. The object appears stationary in the sky or “hovering” a short distance above the ground with a plane visible behind it.

This comes shortly after numerous orbs were recorded floating over Washington DC’s supposed “no-fly zone”.

The individual who disclosed the Manchester event described the UAP as comparable in size to a small vehicle. Mark is convinced that there’s significance to this sighting beyond ordinary explanations, reports the Daily Star.

He commented, “This blue orb sighting reminds me of UK researcher Timothy Good who wrote about the Australian government capturing an alien sphere in 1957 – it was made of an unknown substance and had no visible means of levitation.”

Adding further intrigue, he referenced the mysterious sphere’s fate: “It was captured at the Nuclear test facility in Woomera, Australia and eventually was transported to Wright Patterson Airforce Base in the United States.”

Discussing the recent UAP activity he’s been investigating, he stated: “People are assuming that the UAP sightings at military bases in the East of England are Russian drones. But eye witnesses of locals who have seen these UAPs state that they move very slowly and if they are Russian how did they get here – have they flown all this way at such a slow speed?”

Mark further explained that his research for his new film – The Rendelsham UFO – The British Roswell – about an alleged UFO landing at a military base in Suffolk in 1980 (RAF Bentwaters) – has led him to believe that an alien intelligence is constantly monitoring our military bases (particularly those with Nuclear weapons). With current global tensions, he believes the alien presence has increased its surveillance using AI drones.

He said: “What we found with the Rendelsham UFO – was that an alien presence was monitoring the Nuclear weapons that were being stored at RAF Bentwaters as part of the NATO defence during the Cold War.”

However, a spokesperson from Manchester Airport dismissed any theories of extra-terrestrial visitors in this case. He suggested that the most likely explanation is either a weather or helium balloon, and questioned the authenticity of the photograph showing an object hovering above the ground on the airfield.

“We have systems that pick up anything that could be a threat to aviation,” he said.

“Anything that gives off a signal we would know about.”

He stated that if there was anything on the airfield, as depicted in the photograph, it would be categorised as a major incident. However, he confirmed that no such event has taken place that has caused disruption.
