Have aliens chosen to descend on Shirley?

Well possibly if an American UFO expert's website is to be believed.

Brian Vike, who bills himself as an independent UFO researcher, has posted details of a possible paranormal sighting over a Shirley garden centre.

According to his website hbccufo.org, a witness spotted an oval shape in the sky above Shirley Road last Sunday at around midday.

The unknown witness said: "I was standing with our trolley whilst my girlfriend was looking at plants in the outdoor part of the garden centre. I was looking west and noticed a round white object travelling north. At first I thought it was a plane or helicopter, however, the more I looked at it, the more I realised that there were no wings or any features. It was just a plain white oval object. The speed at which it was travelling told me that it wasn't a balloon either."
