Britain's most famous UFO sighting was a pile of blazing dung!Byline: ANI London, Sep 5 (ANI): After almost 30 years of one of Britain's best-known UFO sightings This is a list of UFO sightings including cases of alleged alien sightings and abductions. Some cases are popularly known, and have become folklore. Others are more obscure, and known mainly to ufologists and enthusiasts. , the true story behind the event has emerged- a truck load of dung is what caused all the mayhem. The weird lights, strange marks on the ground, and odd noises in the night were caused by a burning lorry-load of dung. US Air Force personnel claimed a UFO UFO: see unidentified flying objects. (United Functions and Objects) A programming language developed by John Sargeant at Manchester University, U.K. had landed in Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, Suffolk Coordinates: Woodbridge is a town in Suffolk, East Anglia, England.

It contains about 6% phosphorus, 9% nitrogen, 2% potassium, and moisture. bird dung) so we set light to it to destroy the evidence," The Daily Express quoted Turtill as saying. "The truck had an aluminium body and the fertiliser and metal made some very unusual coloured flames. "Some airmen thought it was a multi-coloured cross from outer space, and with the truck tyres popping they were getting a bit edgy.
