Reverend Richard Coles spotted flying saucer UFO out of window which ‘was real’
The Reverend Richard Coles has revealed he saw a UFO, and the BBC radio host is convinced his spaceship sighting was the real deal.
Richard, 60, said: “In 1977 my friend Candy and I saw a flying saucer near Daventry, and I swear, we looked out of the window, we both saw it.
“It was at night and we saw a flying saucer, flying along – absolutely a flying saucer. And I thought, ‘Blimey!’

“And then it went away and I thought, ‘Did I really see that?’ And we had that conversation. And then over the years I realised that the flying saucer I saw was like the flying saucer in Space: 1999″.

“So I’m thinking whatever I saw, my mind constructed it as something familiar – a flying saucer from Space: 1999.”
Before becoming a clergyman, Richard was in pop group The Communards, best known for their hits Don’t Leave Me This Way and Never Can Say Goodbye.
The Radio 4 presenter continued: “Interestingly, I’ve noticed when I’ve been to see people who said they’ve been haunted, what they describe is something they’ve seen in a film. It’s like a frame of reference.”

Space: 1999 was a British science-fiction telly series that ran from 1975 to 1977 but set in the year 1999.
Its plot was based on a nuclear explosion sending the Moon hurtling through space while hundreds of scientists were studying it.
The runaway Moon became a spacecraft passing through a black hole and space warps with the crew meeting aliens along the way.
Reverend Coles added: “I sometimes think that maybe in the future when the vast expanses of the universe become accessible to us that they will find something, but it will be more like Kettering.”
