Fast-moving cigar-shaped UFOs have been spotted flying high above Honiton prompting the question – are we alone?

Over the last month Steve Carver, aged 42, from Honiton has been transfixed, filming footage of unidentified flying objects on clear nights in the skies over the town.

Over the last month Steve Carver, aged 42, has been transfixed, filming footage of unidentified flying objects on clear nights in the skies over the town.

Steve, of Hawthorne Close, Honiton, who until now was a UFO sceptic, said the soundless shapes change shape and colour, as they dart around the night sky.

Film footage and photos captured by dad-of-one Steve show dots of lights, long cigar shapes, some static, while others are fast moving.

He said he first spotted the unexplained shapes as he walked through the town at night. He does not believe the lights are aircraft from the nearby airfield.

“I’ve been seeing them over the last month around the town. If you look up on a clear night you can see them,” he said.

“You do get carried away watching them when they move about. It’s like a fog, but loads of different colours. They are red, purply, and bluey. When it changes colours, it looks sort of misty. 

“Some are long cigar shape that curl around themselves. The thing that amazes me is how fast it’s moving, and how it changes from one direction to another. We haven’t got anything that fast.”

Steve said the sight of the darting, shape-changing objects was ‘freaky’. “I thought ‘what is this’? It’s like a takeover.”

He said: “Some are long, some are dots changing colour. When they are moving, they are changing shape into something more oblong.

“Some are just there. They don’t move There are not as many as there were. There were God knows how many.

Steve said friends and family have been left ‘gobsmacked’ by his footage of the flying objects.

And though he had never seen any UFO activity before the Honiton sightings, he now believes we are not alone, he said. 

“I was a sceptic before,” said Steve. “It’s quite a shock to keep seeing them. To see that, it’s usually a once in a lifetime experience.”

He has filmed the unexplained shapes and lights over several weeks, initially while heading home in Honiton.

“I was just walking back one night. I was looking up in the sky. I got my phone out and zoomed in with the camera,” said Steve who recently moved to East Devon from Hampshire.

“I am still seeing them now, up in the sky over Honiton. Over a month I have been seeing them now but there’s not so many now.”
