Bradford man puzzled by bright UFO light in the sky
6:00am Wednesday 1st August 2012 in News
A Bradford man who used his mobile phone to film a mysterious bright light in the sky believes it must be something “out of this world”.
Raja Tariq Mehmood, 59, says he can’t think of any “logical” explanation for what he saw after spotting a dome-shaped flying object as he left Abu Hanifa mosque in the early hours of the morning.
Mr Mehmood, who works at The Co-operative, spotted the object in the sky as he left the mosque after prayers at around 3.45am on Monday.
He said: “Because it’s Ramadan, we have been staying up late. At first I thought it must be a plane taking off from the airport, but when it came to my side and I could see it – well, I’d never seen a light like that before!”
The dad tracked the light on his drive home, even stopping outside the East Ward Labour Club on Otley Road to take a better look.

It will have been the International Space Station, which flew over at that time.

There have been many UFOs sighted in the Bradford area over the years, in fact I saw one myself exactly one year ago, and I can tell you right now it was not a plane or an helicopter or a Chinese lantern , nor was it the ISS. I saw a circular object that at first glowed like an extremely bright star, except it was below the cloud cover at an approx. height of 2000 ft, and ascended at great velocity, climbing approx. (or at least) 50,000 ft in about 4 - 5 seconds, and was completely silent throughout, and without any aviation lights. WAKE UP !

UFO - what a load of rubbish and no I won't study any information as it is pointless. Can anybody acutally explain why with all the technology this world has why they are still UNIDENTIFIED? We can all invent websites to say what we want to read and believe! I have seen very odd people in the supermarket but they may just be from certain parts of Bradford not from some UFO!
Sorry, then your comment/opinion is worthless.

I take it you mean, "explain why with all the technology this world has why they are still UNIDENTIFIED?"
erm...let's see....perhaps because 'their' technology is far in advance of ours? or maybe they HAVE been identified but the authorities do not wish to let us know? After all, when asked about the subject of the Rendlesham UFO, Mrs. Thatcher replied, "UFOs? Oh, you can't tell the people". but they have been caught and tracked on radar many many times, besides being witnessed first-hand by Police, Military Police, RAF crew, Met. Officers, etc. The evidence is overwhelming....if you could be bothered to examine it.
As for websites Vs. "facts", you do not know what facts may or may not be included in the videos/websites I have conveniently provided becuase you are clearly far too idle to investigate for yourself, instead preferring to call things "pointless" and "rubbish" off the top of your head with no facts involved.

If you are not interested in UFOs and deem them to be "pointless" and "rubbish", just because you say so, why did you bother to comment at all, or even bother to read the story? The proof is there for those who can be bothered to look.

But then again you wouldn't know who any of them are, or have any idea what they may have said on the matter, as you obviously do not possess an enquiring mind. Go back to sleep, pretend it never happened.
