Location of Sighting: Grinshill, nr Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Date of Sighting: 30/11/2009
Time: approx 8pm

Witness Statement: I was driving back towards Shrewsbury at about 8pm and as i past the turning for the village of Clive i noticed a very bright light just to the left of Grinshill hill. I pulled over into a gateway of a field with a full and clear view of the hill.

To the left of the hill as you look to the north there was a large disc shaped object that had what looked like a bite taken out of it. I reckon it was about 40-50ft across i couldn't judge its height because of the light it gave off. It emitted red, yellow, orange and blue lights and had a dark circle in its centre. I couldn't hear any noise or engines of any kind this thing just sort of hung there for at least 2 minutes. It then suddenly flipped over and shot off with a red flash to the west.

I didn't have my phone with me to take a pic but there must have been other people who saw the object as well. I did notice to an easterly direction some helicopters operating which were probably from RAF Shawbury.

Did anyone else see this thing because it was definitely not an aircraft i know of or have seen anywhere?
