Doctor Records Pair of 'UFOs' over Home in Birmingham, England

Dr. Mohamed Salama, 34, a resident of the Harborne neighborhood of Birmingham, England, recently told Birmingham World that he was taking out the garbage at around 10:30 p.m. on July 24 when he noticed two anomalous lights in the sky.

He managed to take out his phone in time to film the lights for 38 seconds as they circled erratically before flying away.

“I had just been taking the bins out as I normally do ready for the following morning when something just caught my eye flashing in the night sky,” Dr. Salama said.

I do photography so I often look up to see if there’s anything interesting there but I’m usually just looking for the moon or stars. So, I was shocked to see these two balls of light flying very quickly in different directions. I have never seen anything like it before. I don’t think it was a plane, drone, laser or star because of how fast it moved and the way it maneuvered in different directions. It was high above the clouds and seemed to shoot to the horizon in a matter of seconds. It was rather incredible really.
At first it was just rotating and wasn’t going in a straight line, so I thought that was unusual and got my Samsung mobile phone out to begin recording. The brightness of them was quite remarkable too and that was something else which made me think this could be a UFO.

“I have never believed in them until now," he added. "It was such a strange experience and I really think this could be a UFO. It was truly bizarre and left me pretty baffled being a man from a science background."

This is at least the third such video to come out of England since November 2021, when Matt Doughty, 43, of St Albans in Hertfordshire, said his doorbell camera captured three lights moving across the sky in front of his house.

That was followed by an unidentified flying object caught on camera June 2nd, 2022, during an airshow over Buckingham Palace in London, England.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) conducted the flyover to help celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, marking the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne.

While a number of skeptical hypotheses have been introduced to explain the sightings—including lights attached to kites or balloons, bioluminescent insects, and promotional spotlights from the 2022 Commonwealth Games for the video shown above—they remain officially unexplained.
