Lancashire: UFO Close to Hot Air Balloon

The time was approximately 8.00 pm on 10th August 2012.

The weather was serene with relatively clear skies, holding only a few wispy clouds. I was fishing along the old canal at Scarisbrick in Lancashire with my 9 year old son when we spotted a hot air balloon gracefully rising over the trees.

I took a series of photographs of the balloon. One shot displayed an unidentified black, triangular-shaped object moving close to the left of the balloon.



Above: a closer zoom and I have ringed the mystery object.  



Above: closer still and the UFO can be seen to be triangular in shape.

We observed no aircraft, apart from the balloon, in the air space at the time the photographs were taken. Locally – flown aircraft, such as the Tornado and Eurofighter etc, make a tremendous noise announcing their arrival and departure. However, this evening was particularly quiet.

What was this strange black, triangular UFO in the Lancashire skies?

NB. I note here that others have witnessed UFOs in close proximity to balloons before.
