Stretford UFOs Were Balloons

The Manchester Evening News reports that last week’s rash of UFO reports in the Stretford area were the result not of alien activity but of children. Three youngsters were spotted releasing home made hot air balloons just before the reports.

Balloons of some sort are a frequent cause of UFO reports that later become IFOs (Identified Flying Objects). Stephen Mera of the Manchester Association of Paranormal Investigators and Training commented: “I think we'll see more of these throughout the summer. It's not the first time and it certainly won't be the last.”
