“It’s a big old universe out there and something was watching us”

Ben Carlin

Ben Carlin, 35, was the first to spotted the unidentified flying object after popping out to the local shop to get some milk.

The father-of-three spied the craft while looking at the moon and grabbed his phone and started taking pictures of the bizarre shape.

He then caught the attention of another passer-by, and the two men watched until it finally disappeared.
