Hey everyone,
I’ve been following this subreddit for a while and wanted to share my personal UFO encounter that I experienced yesterday in Manchester. I know a lot of people here are skeptical or curious about these experiences, and I figured sharing mine might be helpful for others who are seeking answers.
Here’s what happened:
Yesterday, I was walking my dog near Oldham in greater manchester. The sky was clear, and everything seemed normal until I noticed something strange in the distance. It wasn’t an aircraft or a weather balloon – it was a small, round object hovering silently at a low altitude.
I tried to record it on my phone, but the object seemed to change its shape and suddenly shot off at an incredible speed before I could even get a clear video. It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. At first, I thought it was a drone, but it moved in a way that was totally different from anything human-made. The speed, the sudden turns, the lack of sound – it felt like I was witnessing something truly extraordinary.
After the event, I searched the area for any potential explanations (planes, drones, weather anomalies), but nothing seemed to fit. There were no nearby airports, no significant weather disturbances, and no other witnesses that I could find.
Has anyone else had a similar experience in this area, or can anyone offer insight into what this might have been? I’m open to any theories—whether it’s military tech, natural phenomena, or something else entirely.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
