London: A British tabloid has been swamped with calls from people who claim to having seen spaceship-like flying objects, after it reported of a UFO sighting over Cornwall in South-west England.

The Sun reported on December 29 that one Kelvin Barbery had clicked the picture of a saucer-shaped flying object, believed to be an UFO, from a coastal path between Swanpool and Maenporth, near Falmouth.

Now, a number of people are claiming to having seen alien spacecraft off the same bay in Cornwall where the original UFO was snapped, says the newspaper.

"I was taking photos of the ship when a helicopter from it took off, flew west then landed back on board just a few minutes later. It was only when I blew up the photos on my computer that I realised what the helicopter had gone off to take a look at," the paper quoted a person named Edward as saying.

"It was in the exact same bay as the one featured in The Sun earlier this week," he added.

Rodga Harvey is another person who claims that he clicked the picture of a spaceship while returning home from a party on New Year eve.

"It was only when I looked at the photo later that I realised there was this weird flying object in the sky. It didn't look like any normal aircraft so I am sure it is a UFO," he said.
