WAREHOUSE worker claims to have caught a ‘shape-shifting’ UFO soaring across the sky on his phone camera like ‘something out of Mars Attacks!

- BY RUBY WATSON AND HOWARD LLOYD

Cole Toward had gone to let his cat Penny out and use his vape in his garden on March 23 at about 8pm when he spotted a bright glimmering object moving swiftly across the sky.

The 29-year-old quickly whipped out his iPhone 14 to film the fast-moving UFO and immediately rushed to review the footage in slow motion.

Footage shows the blinking UFO moving rapidly across the night's sky for over a minute before it disappears out of view behind trees.

Cole took lots of screen grabs from the clip that show the round object glowing red, green and yellow and said ‘you can clearly see from the photos how much it was changing shape, colour and brightness.

He said it looked nothing like the planes and drones he had seen before and believes it could have been ‘NHI (non-human intelligence)’ or the military using crashed extraterrestrial hardware.

He compared it to the 1996 movie Mars Attacks! in which Martians pretend to come in peace but then attack Earth and arrive in the classic disc-shaped spacecraft.
