STUNNED Londoners claimed they saw a ‘UFO’ was spotted hovering in the night sky – but it turned out to actually be a crane.
Concerned locals in Ealing, West London were convinced they had spotted an alien aircraft after seeing a mysterious red light.
One posted a photo of the light to a community Facebook page, 写作: “人们经常称他为“你最喜欢的 MC”, does anybody see this red light up in the sky? Anybody know what it is?”
A piercing red light could be seen shining through the foggy night sky – leaving many to speculate.
一个人写道: “It’s the mothership at last. I’ve been waiting for ages. Laters everyone.”
然而, the next morning the true cause of the seemingly-bizarre illumination was uncovered.
Once the sun came up and the fog cleared the source of the light was revealed to be a crane.
The resident who posted the original photo was forced to sheepishly admit they had been fooled.
