Four UFO Sightings Across Britain — Then an RAF Aircraft Appeared

UAP Files Podcast

About

Four mysterious UFO sightings. Multiple witnesses. Photographic evidence. And an RAF surveillance aircraft conducting an unusual flight pattern near the location of one of the sightings.


UAP Files Podcast S4|E43


In this episode of UAP Files Podcast, I'm joined by Ash Ellis, British UFO investigator, author and founder of UFO Identified and the UK UFO Database.

Ash has spent years collecting, documenting and investigating UFO sightings across Britain. His database now contains more than 2,000 UK UFO reports, helping researchers identify potential patterns, hotspots and cases that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

But one investigation in particular stands out.

In April 2021, four independent witnesses reported remarkably similar white, kidney-bean-shaped objects in the skies over different parts of the UK. Photographs and videos accompanied the reports.

Even more intriguingly, Ash's investigation uncovered flight-tracking data showing an RAF AWACS aircraft operating near Grimsby shortly after one of the sightings, apparently conducting an unusual flight pattern.

Was this simply a coincidence, a routine military exercise, or something worthy of further investigation?

We also discuss Ash's own childhood encounter with a large black triangular UFO, the growing number of reported black triangle sightings across Britain, his experiences submitting Freedom of Information requests to the RAF and police, and why he believes the UK urgently needs better UFO research.
