Round, Yellow UFO Above Smalley Village in Derbyshire

A UFO report that has just been released features details on sightings of mysterious ball-shaped lights including over Smalley village in Derbyshire, England.

A strange, low flying object was spotted in April 2009 and the sighting was included in the record of Ministry of Defence (MoD), which just recently made public by the National Archives.

The witness said in a statement that the UFO was round and yellow which appeared to have a parachute on top, resembled to a helmet.

However, RAF rejected the extra-terrestrial theory of the sighting suggesting that natural phenomena and aircraft lights were the best explanation for these kinds of sightings. Recently, Chinese lanterns are usually mistaken as UFOs.

A letter from Air Command at High Wycombe mentioned that they have no plan to investigate sighting that presents no threat to the nation and no UFO report was found as a threat from an external source.

The reports were part of the X-files recently revealed after MoD closed its UFO hotline, which recorded UFO sighting reports and answered questions from the public about the subject for over 50 years.

The files reveal that the MoD found no evidence that reported UFO sightings were threats to national security, the reason RAF’s National Archives department shut down its hotline. The hotline was closed in November 2009.
