Massive Cigar-Shaped UFO spotted in Manchester England 2011 (Video)

STARTLINGLY clear footage of a possible UFO sighting over Manchester has got fans of the paranormal intrigued.

In the clip, a small, pipe-shaped object can be seen floating around the clear blue sky in Denton, Manchester.

Perhaps this isn’t that surprising – Manchester was named the UFO capital of Britain earlier this year.

Adorned with lights that flash from white, to blue, to purple, the mysterious object is long and narrow, rather than the disc-shape commonly associated with UFOs.

The strange sight was caught on camera as the object flew “higher than planes,” according to the owner of the footage.

Posting the clip on social media, he wrote: “Knowing how high it appeared in the sky, I’m guessing its size was massive.”

He added the possible UFO was visible in the sky for around 40 minutes before it flew so high it could no longer be seen.

The video, which has resurfaced online after being first posted in 2011, has garnered significant attention from believers in aliens and the supernatural.

One social media user commented: “Absolutely amazing footage. Definitely an extremely large, cigar-shaped UFO.”

Another user also thought the video was convincing, saying: “It looks like part of a space shuttle.”

Furthermore, it seems this isn’t the first time the strange object has been spotted.

One person posted under the video: “I saw the exact same thing over my house in Worcestershire a few years back… Definitely changed my opinion on the whole UFO thing, amazing to see a video of it!”
