• On 17 September 2016, a spherical UFO was video recorded by a police helicopter using its FLIR thermal camera near St. Athan in Wales UK moving over the Bristol Channel. (see 1:13 minute video below)   The object was travelling at 106mph against the wind. The footage was kept hidden from the public until former policeman and current UFO investigator Gary Heseltine obtained the video under the UK’s Freedom of Information law. Heseltine thinks there are many questions that need answering by the UK government.

• The whole incident took place over eight minutes, with the footage showing the camera changing settings to try to work out what it was. “This is verified police helicopter FLIR footage showing an object not seen with the naked eye but clearly seen in the infrared spectrum. It is moving against the wind, so it is not a balloon, nor is emitting any heat signature indicating a propulsion system,” Heseltine told The Sun Online.

• “My FOI requests were largely stonewalled by the police authorities,” said Heseltine. “I believe there is much more information on this event that has yet to be released. I think it is highly likely that other police helicopter crews have recorded similar footage on their FLIR cameras. Given that the stigma relating to this subject is being lifted I urge them to be more transparent on this issue. This footage proves that objects, similar to what have been captured by the US Navy is being recorded on the same FLIR cameras here in the UK.”

helicopter in the UK.

The footage, which until recently wasn’t released, shows the object moving over the Bristol Channel.

It was filmed by a police helicopter, which was using its FLIR thermal camera near St Athan in Wales.

The object seems to move against the wind, appearing to travel at high speed. Small segments of the video were shared by the NPAS team, but after a Freedom of Information request was submitted by former policeman Gary Heseltine, the full thing has been released.

It shows the bizarre encounter, which took place on 17 September 2016, and UFO investigator Heseltine thinks there are many questions that need answering by the UK government.

NPAS South West said at the time that the heat setting was set to show hot objects as darker on the screen.

The whole incident took place over eight minutes, with the footage showing the camera changing settings to try to work out what it was.

Three years after the clip was released, police said: “A drone is possible, but they were unable to keep up with it so it would have to have been very fast.”
