Moment dog walker playing fetch captured UFO speeding through the sky above the Malvern Hills

A man claims to have captured a ‘UFO‘ on video ripping through the sky at hypersonic speeds while he was playing fetch with his dog. 

Andrew Clifton, 40, was out with his five-year-old Labrador, Dash, in the Malvern Hills, when he filmed the out-of-this-world phenomena.

He had been recording himself throwing a frisbee for Dash when he claims the unknown object shot through the air at high speed.

Andrew neither saw nor heard anything at the time. It wasn’t until he reviewed the footage later that he noticed the strange metallic-coloured UFO.

After slowing down the footage, the alleged tubular object could be seen slicing through the sky at immense speed, seemingly covering the distance of the horizon in the fraction of a second. 

After showing the clip to friends, they encouraged him to post it in a UFO sightings Facebook group, where it quickly amassed millions of views.

However, sceptics online have claimed the video could be a hoax and potentially edited. 

Andrew, a change manager from Minety, Wiltshire, said: ‘It was such a strange experience. At the time, I didn’t notice that anything had happened. ‘It was moving so fast there was no way I could pick it up with a naked eye.

‘But when I got home from dinner with friends later that day, I was reviewing the videos from the day and noticed something small.

‘That’s when I edited the video into slow-motion and saw the object in full force for the first time.’

Malvern Hills is nestled between two major Royal Air Force bases, RAF Brize Norton, to the south east, and RAF Cosford – a training establishment – to the north. 

The video was recorded on on Saturday, August 2. 

Andrew later posted the video on Facebook, where members of the UFO community flooded the comments with questions.

The discussion grew even larger when the clip was shared on X – formerly Twitter – racking up more than seven million views.

Some viewers, convinced by the object’s speed, believe it must be extraterrestrial while others remain sceptical.

Andrew said: ‘I’m not someone who is a super big believer but I do think we shouldn’t assume that there is nothing out there.

‘So when my friend suggested I posted the video to a sighting Facebook group, I thought it would start a fun discussion, but I had no idea how big it would get.

‘I’ve seen some people suggesting it’s AI, but I can promise you the only editing I did was to slow the footage down.

‘Personally, I think it’s more likely to be some sort of military equipment that we don’t know about.

‘But it’s true that whenever I watch it, I can’t come up with a full answer as to what it is.’

UFOs are now known as UAP – or unidentified aerial phenomena.

In recent months, concerns over UAP sightings worldwide has worried governments. 

In America, a special congress has been set up to investigate alleged sightings.

It follows the disclosure of video from the US Navy which appeared to show an encounter with a ‘Tic Tac’ shaped objected in 2004.

The mysterious craft was observed by US Navy pilots as it soared through the sky off the coast of southern California at high speed.
