London, Feb 12 (ANI): A carpenter has spotted a silver saucer hovering in the sky at a Lancashire hotspot for alien craft - 44th strange sighting since 1977 in an area dubbed ‘UFO Valley’.

Lancashire has now clocked up the highest number of close encounters in the country.

The latest sighting in the Bacup and Rossendale area was made by Aron Sacks, who snapped the mysterious object from his window on a mobile phone.

He revealed how the object hovered for less than a minute, before silently zooming off at high speed.

“It was amazing - certainly not a normal aircraft. I grabbed my phone, took one photo - then when I looked back it had gone. There was no sound, nothing. It’s very haunting to think I’ve seen a UFO,” the Sun quoted Aron, 34, as saying. (ANI)
