A woman has described being "mesmerised" by a "UFO like cloud" that she couldn't take her eyes off on Easter Sunday.
Sherrie Fox was enjoying a picnic when she saw the unusual apparition appear in the skies above the River Severn in Newnham, GloucestershireLive reports.
Managing to pull out her phone and get a quick snap before it disappeared, Sherrie described being unable to take her eyes off it.
Ms Fox said: "Saw this awesome UFO like cloud over Newnham Estuary yesterday late afternoon, Easter Sunday.
"I was absolutely mesmerised. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Luckily I took a couple of shots because two minutes later it had gone.

"We had been to Lydney Harbour for a picnic. Then on the way back we stopped off for an ice cream and ate it by the river at Newnham. And during this time that’s when the cloud appeared in front of us."
She added that she thought the sighting was supernatural, saying: "Oh my goodness yes I did."
The cloud bares a striking resemblance to a flying saucer used by aliens across popular culture.
A similar sighting was made in Scotland last month.
Seen across the country, an orb-shaped formation left people scratching their heads at the bizarre sight, EdinburghLive reports.
Pictures of the unusual clouds, which formed over parts of Scotland, were shared by baffled eyewitnesses.
Experts from the Met Office provided some insight into the unusual sightings which they described as lenticular clouds.
A Met Office spokesperson told EdinburghLive : "These strange, unnatural looking clouds sometimes form downwind of hills or mountains.
"They are quite unusual in the British Isles but do occasionally occur.
“They look a lot like the traditional shape of flying saucers in science fiction, and real lenticular clouds are believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings across the world."
