This happened back in 1995 and the info is only now coming
to light with the recent release of UFO secrets by the
British gov.
"AN ALIEN spaceship "20 times the size of a football field" is among a string of bizarre UFO sightings included in top secret MoD files released for the first time today.
The huge craft was reported to the military after it was seen hovering above Manchester Airport in January 1995.
Incredibly, it was spotted the same day a British Airways pilot reported a "near miss" as he tried to land a Boeing 737 on the runway leading to a highly-classified MoD investigation.
Other sightings include a "cigar-shaped" object flying above Lancashire in February 1977 and in October 1980 two security police officers on patrol at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, saw a "strange, glowing object" in the woods.

A report said: "The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object in the forest. The object was described as being metallic in appearance and triangular in shape. It illuminated the entire forest with a white light.
"The object itself had a pulsing red light no top and a bank of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs. As the patrolmen approached, it manoeuvred through the trees and disappeared." "
