Mid Essex is recording a surge of mystery aircraft sightings to the Essex UFO Group. Chairman Ron West listed Chelmsford, Braintree and Witham areas as particularly frequent for reports. Mr West said "since November 15th we have had reports by 183 people of objects. We have had a steady build up of objects across Essex. I have been doing this since 1950 and recording figures for 15 years. This is the busiest year ever". Mr West said most people described a circle of eight white lights with a ninth in the middle. Others reported a craft with three massive yellow lights, or two red lights. Most people said it hovered without any noise, and was spinning anti clockwise. The latest reports to be recorded occurred in Braintree on March 2nd and March 9th. "They usually just disappear instantly, or shoot straight up into the hemisphere" said Mr West. His group investigates claims, analysing any video tapes, contacting the police, civil airfields and military bases: "We usually get a standard reply that they have nothing on radar," he said.
