A few people found a strange unidentified flying object in the skies of Portsmouth (in the South of the United Kingdom). Many believe that it could be a UFO. Seeing that day the object had a spherical shape and grey color. He floated in the sky right above the houses in this coastal city of England.

Johnny Blackwell, 23-year-old man living on Trevor road in the seaside resort of Southsea, told the press:

"I don't believe in UFOs, but when I saw it, I didn't know what it was. It was like a cloud and it was moving very fast. It was in the form of a gray disk. I don't know much about military technology, but the object was moving at very high speeds, and it was very strange to see."

Johnny, student at University of Portsmouth, said that they saw an object about 19:00 on Tuesday, 16 September 2014.

Soon other people on Twitter were talking about this phenomenon.

Original news

Plusieurs personnes ont repéré un étrange objet volant non identifié dans le ciel de Portsmouth (au Sud du Royaume-Uni). Beaucoup croient qu'il pourrait s’agir d’un OVNI.

L’objet, observé en cette journée-là, était de forme sphérique et de couleur grise. Il flottait inexplicablement dans le ciel, juste au-dessus des habitations de cette ville côtière de l’Angleterre.

Johnny Blackwell, un jeune homme 23 ans et résidant sur Trevor Road dans la station balnéaire de Southsea, s’est exprimé à la presse :

« Je ne crois pas aux OVNIs, mais quand j'ai vu cela, je ne savais pas ce que c'était. Il ressemblait à un nuage, et il se déplaçait très rapidement. »

« Il avait la forme d’un disque gris. »

« Je ne m’y connais pas trop concernant la technologie militaire, mais l’objet se déplaçait à très grande vitesse et c’était très étrange à voir. »

Johnny, qui est étudiant en cinéma à l'Université de Portsmouth, a déclaré avoir vu l'objet aux alentours de 19 heures, le mardi 16 septembre 2014.

Rapidement, d’autres personnes se sont ruées sur Twitter pour parler de ce phénomène qu’ils avaient eux-mêmes observé :

MrJoshHK : « Regarder le ciel. J'ai vu ce qui ressemblait à un OVNI ! Je commence à croire en ce que les gens disent ! #pompeyufo »

HayleySparkle : « Alors un OVNI a été repéré à Portsmouth ! »

Laura Young, qui travaille au Met Office (le service national britannique de météorologie), a affirmé que ce ne pouvait pas être un phénomène naturel :

« Après avoir regardé les images, je peux vous dire que cet objet n’a rien à voir avec un phénomène météorologique. »

Pour elle, il paraît évident que ce n’est pas un nuage. Mais alors, de quoi s’agit-il ?

PEOPLE have spotted a strange flying object in the skies of Portsmouth and believe it could be a UFO.

A grey-spherical object has been seen floating around in the sky, and claims it could be a cloud, an airplane or a bird have been shot down by those that have seen it.

Johnny Blackwell, 23, of Trevor Road, Southsea, said: ‘I don’t believe in UFOs, but when I saw this I didn’t know what it was.

‘It didn’t look like a cloud, and it was moving very fast.

‘It was a grey, disc-like shape, which I know sounds like a stereotypical UFO, but that’s what it looked like.

‘I don’t know much about military crafts, but this was very fast-moving and very odd to see.’

Johnny, a television and film production student at the University of Portsmouth, said he saw the object at around 7pm on Tuesday.

Other people have taken to Twitter to talk about the ‘UFO’.

@MrJoshHK said: ‘Watching the sky and saw what looked like a UFO! Starting to believe in what people have been saying! #pompeyufo

Another Tweeter, @HayleySparkle said: ‘So a UFO had been spotted in Portsmouth! Are aliens going to be dropping in I wonder...#pompeyufo

Laura Young, of the Met Office, said: ‘After looking at the images, I can say the object is nothing to do with the weather.

‘It is not meteorological and is not a cloud.’

Капля (или загрязнение) на объективе или стекле

Often it's a small point on the photos, like hovering metal ball. At least - this is quite a big blur. Color, brightness and the presence of a highlight depends on the color of the reflected light source, background shooting and drop form.

Shape, color and density of pollution may vary depending on the source of the contamination and its nature. This can be as a desired pattern on the glass, and random.

Cloud (natural and man-made)

Clouds are the products of condensation of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere, visible in the sky from the surface of the earth. They consist of tiny drops of water and/or ice crystals (called cloud elements).
