Dad spots 'UFO' flying over homes while out playing with son

A dad playing outside with his three-year-old son believes he saw a UFO hovering in the sky.

Michael, from West Derby, was in the garden with his three-year-old son on Sunday, July 25 at around 5pm.

The 39-year-old looked up at the sky he said 'something flying around' caught his and his son's eye, so he started to record a video with his phone.

He told The ECHO : "It was strange. I looked metallic or like it was spinning as it kept catching the light.

"It was like, pulsating, I couldn't hear any noise from it either. I was mesmerised."

The video caught by Michael shows a a reflective dot floating in the sky.

After seeing the object he checked FlightRadar24 to see if there were any aircraft in the sky at the time.

He said: "There was one plane that could be seen on one of my videos and that was the only aircraft above us at the time.

"I also checked what way the wind was blowing to see if it could have been a balloon, but the wind was going in the complete opposite direction.

"It didn't look like a drone either, plus it kept disappearing and reappearing.

"I'm not saying it's little green men, but I was mesmerised."

Michael said he was interested to know more after the Pentagon released footage about an 'unidentified aerial phenomena'.

The US Government has since announced a taskforce to investigating sightings between US military personnel and unidentified flying objects.

When asked if he thought it was the International Space Station, Micheal said: "No it’s not the ISS. The ISS moves from west to East also, you can’t see it during daytime.

"Plus at the end, it changes it’s direction of travel, the ISS remained on a constant orbit."
