A mysterious black line in the sky over Folkestone, England, sparked curiosity and confusion among the locals who witnessed it, reports coasttocoastam.com.

The vertical line, which seemed to stretch from the ground to beyond the clouds, was captured on camera by a woman who said she had to check if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

The bizarre sight occurred on Wednesday morning and lasted for several minutes before disappearing.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “The line went up as far as the eye could see. It went way past the clouds and I honestly have no idea what it could be. It was such a straight line so it obviously wasn’t smoke from a crash or something like that.”

A meteorologist who examined the photo ruled out any natural explanation for the phenomenon, saying it was “definitely not any type of cloud.” He also noted that the line appeared to cut through the clouds, indicating that “it was not an optical fault.”

Some people have suggested that the line could be the shadow of a contrail, which is the trail of condensed water vapor left by a jet engine. However, this theory does not explain why the line was so dark and vertical, and why it did not dissipate quickly.

Another possible explanation is that the line was a sign of extraterrestrial activity. Some UFO researchers have documented cases of triangular-shaped craft that hover silently in the sky and sometimes emit beams of light or dark matter.

These craft are believed to be either secret military projects or alien vehicles conducting surveillance or scanning missions. One such case occurred in Florida in 2013, when a similar black line was seen in the sky and attributed to a triangular UFO.

Could the black line in Folkestone be related to these mysterious triangles? Or is there another explanation for this strange anomaly? Until more evidence emerges, the mystery remains unsolved.

A woman in England was left scratching her head when she gazed up at the sky and spotted a long vertical black line extending from the ground up to the heavens. According to a local media report, the bewildering anomaly (seen below) was spotted on Wednesday morning by an unnamed witness in the town of Folkestone. Upon seeing the puzzling sight, the woman says that she "took a photo to make sure it wasn't my eyes deceiving me." The witness went on to marvel that "the line went up as far as the eye could see. It went way past the clouds" and conceded that "I honestly have no idea what it could be. It was such a straight line so it obviously wasn't smoke from a crash or something like that."

The source of the strange aerial anomaly has proven to be a mystery as a meteorologist who examined the image indicated that it is "definitely not any type of cloud." To that end, they noted that the line appears to actually be cutting through the clouds in a manner suggesting that "it was not an optical fault." Oddly enough, the wondrous event on Wednesday is not the first time such a strange anomaly has been seen in the sky as a similar case unfolded in Florida back in 2013. In that instance, the prevailing theory was that the line was the shadow of a contrail, which is what some believe to be the cause of the phenomenon in Folkestone this week, though as of now the mystery remains unsolved.
