Richard and Margaret Pugh were leaving their house in Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, to get a taxi to the airport when they heard a “low frequency buzzing noise”. Mr Pugh said it was a “strange shaped aircraft in the sky about 500ft up”. It may look a frisbee flung in the air, but the couple insist they do not know what the object, seen early Wednesday morning, is or here it came from. The 61-year-old added: “Whilst on the way to the airport at about 6:45am, my family and I spotted this strange circle shaped aircraft in the sky just west of Shrewsbury, near Bicton Heath. “We were just getting in the taxi to get to the airport on our way to Spain, and we heard a buzzing noise that was a really low frequency and saw this whiz by us. It was only about 500ft up in the sky and was bigger than an RAF Typhoon fighter jet. “My wife got her phone out and started frantically pressing the camera snap button to get this image. “Our taxi driver said he couldn’t believe his eyes and it was a UFO.” “I’ve never seen anything like this and yes it could of been a military drone type aircraft, but having looked on the web we can’t find anything remotely similar. “The wife thinks it is aliens and I’m not sure – but not ruling it out.” Credit: Shropsire Star Jordan Reynolds
