Solved? Reporters Test UFO Hoax (BS!

Link to UFO "Hoax" Story

HIGHLIGHTS:

MYSTERY surrounding a string of UFO sightings in the West Berkshire skies may have been solved by reporters at newburytoday.co.uk.

When we reported yet another sighting of orange orbs above Greenham in mid-August, newburytoday.co.uk received an enigmatic letter claiming to solve the UFO mystery.

The package included a “UFO Hot Air Balloon” - a flying lantern designed to trick unsuspecting alien hunters into thinking ET was dropping by.

This seems like crap to me.

Personally, this story appears to be a weak attempt to cloud the truth about what's been going on in the UK recently.

Well this certainly explains many sightings I'm sure. However, in the article witnesses said

Witnesses saw them hover for three minutes before speeding off into the night sky.

Balloons don't "speed off"
Therefore, I believe there may actually be many legitamate sightings in the area and this is just more B.S. to discredit the real events.
