I took stills from the video and zoomed in. The results are interesting. At least one other person saw the object.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The images have since been shown to one of Sussex\u2019s top UFO and paranormal investigators, who was \u2018excited\u2019 by the footage.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Robinson, is the founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations, and has spoken about UFO phenomena at conventions across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Robinson, who lives in Hastings, East Sussex, said that 95 per cent of all UFO reports turn out to have \u2018natural explanations\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that about four per cent of the reports could be accredited to a combination of \u2018black budget\u2019 stealth aircraft and rare, atmospheric phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one per cent that remain, is for me, personally something which is not of this world,\u201d he said, \u201cThe weight of evidence that I and others have gathered over the years clearly show that we are dealing with a very real and bona fide phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the image captured by Elaine, he said: \u201cIt certainly has the classic flying saucer shape although that in itself does not mean that it lends any credibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhotographs of this nature normally show birds frozen in flight by the camera or a small insect close to the lens of the camera. But as the photographer filmed this as a pan then this certainly makes it far more interesting to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He questioned whether the image could have captured a unmanned aerial vehicle or drone.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the claim there were other witnesses to the incident was \u2018equally interesting\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis for me, is one of the few times that a photograph have excited me and I would love to enquire more from the photographer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Robinson has appeared in numerous newspaper and radio interviews.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SPEEDING UFO was seemingly spotted following in the wake of the RAF Vulcan which flew through Sussex.
