Reports are then recorded with many users posting pictures of the UFO’s.

Mr Cunningham posted on the website that after he went outside his friends house on the afternoon of Deceember 10, he spotted the strange object.

He posted: “My attention was drawn to what I first thought was a large binliner or large bird, moving through the sky just to the right of the house.

“As I watched this object, it tilted at a 90 degree angle and moved forwards. Each time it did this I could see that it was black in colour underneath and grey to blueish on the upper surface.

“Although I was still thinking this was some sort of large plastic bag, I could tell that the object wasn’t being blown about in an erratic manner and was travelling in a direct course and pattern.

“It seemed to me that whilst moving, it was flipping and trying to rebalance itself against the upper head winds that were present, although there wasn’t any ground winds.

“I watched this for two to four minutes until it faded in the clouds and out of view.

“I shouted for my friend to come and see what I could see but unfortunately by the time he had arrived – and because of the clouds – he was unable to observe this.”
