Shocked nature enthusiast James Ward snapped what he thinks is a flying saucer while he was out snapping away with his camera.

Mr Ward said: "It seemed to hover for a few minutes, then speed off. I was very shocked and surprised.

"It was saucer in shape and very metallic and had no lights."

This is the second alien-related incident to have been reported in Britain this week.

Sleeping residents from Conisholme, in Lincolnshire, were rudely awoken at 4am on Wednesday morning when strange lights were spotted streaking towards a 290ft-tall wind turbine.

One of the turbine's huge 65-foot blades was ripped clean off, leaving no trace behind.

The baffled owner of the wind farm, Ecotricity, has launched an investigation into exactly what happened but Lincolnshire council bosses are reported to have said even a strong gale could not have inflicted such damage.
