Tuesday, 5.10pm - ALLINGTON pensioner Basil Peacock spotted this UFO flying in the Lincolnshire skies and managed to grab a picture thanks to his quick-thinking nephew.The peculiar object, not dissimilar in shape and colour to a 'Nice 'n' Spicy Nik Nak', was seen at 11pm on Saturday, August 1.
%%Could not get body element policy for VersionedContentId(1.31132.UNDEFINED)The object was first orange in colour but then changed to green before reverting back to orange. Basil's 14-year-old nephew, who lives in Wales, took two photographs of the UFO - one in its green form and one in its orange.
However, in the green picture the object disappeared.
Basil, 84, of Park Avenue, Allington, said: "I was just about to have a bath when I saw it. I called to my nephew and he came running with his camera.
"There was no noise and it was travelling at a terrific speed.
"I looked the Journal the next week expecting there to be a report about it but there was nothing. I decided to wait for my nephew to develop the photograph and send it to me in the post before I brought it in."
Basil says he has never seen anything like it in his 84 years and is at a loss to explain what it may have been.
He said: "To me it looked slightly like an aeroplane but there was no noise and it was much faster. You could see a nose and tail to it.
"It must have been circling roughly a 100 mile area of Allington.
"I have seen objects in the sky before but nothing like that. To me it was a UFO.
"I'm 84-years-old but I have never seen anything like it."
