Shocked residents in Mill End say they watched in wonder yesterday evening as a UFO circled above their homes.

Four witnesses, three of whom took mobile phone footage of the alleged craft, contacted the Watford Observer this morning to tell us what they saw.

Andrew Baskeyfield said a large ball of light hovered in the air for a few minutes at around 7.30pm. He said: “There was a ball like shape moving fast across the sky. It looked like a fire ball. It had no sound and kept at a steady height.

“There where planes in the sky at the same time and you could see this wasn't a helicopter or plane as there where no landing lights.”
