A UFO, described by witnesses as looking like a huge “Dorito” crisp has been filmed over the skies of the Black Country, according to a paranormal group.

A flurry of calls has been made to Stourbridge-based UFO Research Midlands (UFORM) from those claiming to have witnessed the flying object in the sky.
Witnesses say they spotted it in Halesowen heading towards Stourbridge on Wednesday at around 7pm.
UFORM is now appealing for anyone else who saw it to get in touch to help it compile its X-files.Steve Poole, UFORM chairman, said one man filmed more than 30 seconds of footage of the craft travelling in a westerly direction from Halesowen to Stourbridge. He said: “The object has been described as looking like a huge Dorito and had distinctive red lights on its underside, which moved position while the craft was flying.”
Another witness reported seeing it while looking out from the Lickey Hills towards the Sutton area of Birmingham.
The witness says he watched the UFO through binoculars as it moved “very quickly” across the skyline. Two other independent collaborators came forward within hours of the sighting, according to UFORM.
UFORM operates a 24-hour hotline for the public to report UFO incidents. Steve Poole said: “This could turn out to be a pretty substantial sighting, especially given that one of the witnesses has filmed the event. We would like to hear from anyone else who may have seen this object. They can remain anonymous if they like.”
UFORM was set up in 1995 by Steve Poole to coincide with the massive increase in UFO sightings in the West Midlands.
Now with dozens of members, the group holds monthly meetings in Stourbridge with internationally renowned guest speakers, hosts sky-watches and acts as the leading research organisation in the area for anyone interested in the UFO phenomenon.

Looks like someone in Halesowen has been eating cheese after the ’sell-by’ date has expired.
Its sad that some people (like Ray) are so narrow minded that they redicule what are most likely regular, credible people who actually saw a type of UFO that is commonly seen around the world.
I don’t know if Rays comment is to be funny or to ridicule the story but it is all too typical when it comes to unidentified flying objects. It is no wonder we can’t have any serious conversation about the subject. Sure there are definitely wackos out there, but there are plenty of sightings that can’t be easily explained.
It is a Identified Craft, NOT a UFO. Can you say, “TR3-B” or “Big Black Delta”? I just wonder what the governments of the world are USING this craft for? or PLANNED for….
Its plain to see they are
without doubt flying saucers be serious
I think I saw it too. I thought it was a firework, but it moved too slowly for that, after about 15 seconds it faded and all i saw was smoke! I’m in Wednesbury.
My comment was actually intended to be humourous. However, it’s surprising how quickly some people have jumped to the UFO conclusion - despite the fact it was 7.00pm on a dark, murky night and the lights could have had a perfectly rational explanation (ie: anything from a small plane to an aerial surveillance drone).
I personally have no opinion either way about UFOs.
That looks like the one that was filmed over Belgium. The video is on youtube I think. Big black delta thingy moving really slowly and silently, same lights if I remember rightly. The Belgian government apparently got heavy with the videographer, so I’d guess it’s Aurora, or something else military.
It’s amazing that in the 21st Century we still have people like Ray in society, who believe earth is the only planet out of the innumerable planets in the universe to contain intelligent life. Time to stop living in the 1920s buddy.
Unfortunately I did not see the UFO,but Tuseday morning my dog was acting strange on his early morning walk over the golf links, he was running about barking at things which I could not see. The photographs I took showed bright spheres like footballs,I will e-mail them to you if you wish.
John.
i think i saw it too …. about 6.30 Morrisons car park Bilston couple of odd looking fellows been inside and brought a GALAXY !!!
I saw it as well on wednesday around 7.30pm to 8.00pm ish and im shocked to see others have i thought i was seeing things it was as me and my family were traveling in the car.
Bmac … you have got me worried mate are you watching to much TV ? and as for ”Big Black Delta” is that something from an Ann Summers shop ?
Where’s the video then?
Personally i think you should all get a life. if there really is another life form out there, with all of the technology this world has got why hasn’t it been discovered????
I saw it towards the halesowen area on wednesday night, it was stationary for a few seconds with no sound and then instantly dissapeared, 3 outer white lights and a red inner light
Where is the video since it has been filmed?
Me, my friend and son all saw this same object over stourbridge football club and around corbetts hospital on a thursday (possibly the 1/11 but could of been the 8th i’m not that sure) around 8 30pm. I am not a big UFO believer but the photo on this page is exactly what we saw and have talked about for weeks and but never gave it much thought, it looked like no aircraft I’ve ever seen but was just “one of those things” we’d talk about on a friday night, but now i read this story and think the must something more to this be it military, govenment or E.T!. If anyone knows what it was or what might be I’d like to know.
thats a really big doritoo.
I have seen this Military plane or UFO myself a few years a go. I was fishing in Idaho at Hells Canyon on the Snake River
I saw it too. It did a loop the loop, beeped it’s horn twice, then made a sound like woody woodpecker and flew off.
Its all good and well telling us about this story and mentioning the video clip but now I’m in suspense. Where is this video clip, could you not source it and host it here Express and Star?
Dear E&S. Answer truthfully now. Is the picture you published a picture of the ‘UFO’ that was actually seen over Halesowen or just a library picture? …………. thought not.
I would love to see the video that was taken of the alleged UFO.
Certainly, a nice video of the triangle shaped UFO would be nice; since those appear to have no regard for foreign airspace and travel above populations as if they were untouchable. Surely, such craft should be investigated, regardless of whether they were manned or alien craft, due to their violation of airspace.
I have never seen a video of the triangle shaped UFO, so please post any links here. I will check this page in the future.
There Here!!!!!
Ray its true,my dog was barking also, the little aliens where climbing all over my xmas tree .
That video that they used is a 1989 photo of a Belgian black triangle and it has nothing to do with this story.
ive got it folks … it is dorito. its on with lights on for the christmas period !!!
Good report. To bad the reporter could not come up with a headline better than Dorito? That title makes the report look like a joke, and it probably was intentional.
And take that photo off the story. It has nothing to do with it.
ET phone home….. Elliot… Elliot.. Home, Home….
It is real simple people. This is but one sighting of thousands. If you doubt the presence of extraterrestial beings all you have to do is a little research and you will find that they are real and they are here.Don’t be so naive.
I still feel that the author of this article should remove that picture. That picture is from 1989 and has nothing to do with this story but it appears that it does. That’s deception and I doubt that the owner of that photo cares to see it used this way.
the government deny existence of e.t.life ,if they were to aknowledge existence it would be an end to all religious theories and global chaos would ensue.
The Belgium UFO sparked the Belgium AF to go public and ask the world if anyone knew what might be the source of the sightings by civilians, civil and military personnel. As I recall Gen. DeBrours(sp?) was on CNN with gun camera footage and news video footage of the triangle-shaped what-ever-the-heck it was. The same man appeared at the National Press Club conference a couple of weeks ago as one of several government witnesses to UFO activity around the world. He was joined by Frmr AZ Gov Fyfe Symington who saw the “Phoenix Lights” incident in 1997 that involved a huge, chevron shaped flying God-knows-what that was witnessed by many area residents. One witness said that the entire US fleet of B2 bombers could have been parked on one wing of this thing…. and somebody saw a big triangle shaped whatever over Halesowen? Maybe we should do something other than laugh about it….
I think these people have all been at the xmas booze. Do people still believe in UFO’s!!!
This is indeed the BBD or TR-3B US CIA airship as mentioned above. This craft has been around in some form since the early eighties. It was first spotted in England, in Rendlesham Forest, DEC 27/ 1980. It has a 160ft by 98 ft wingspan, it uses a Magnetic Field Disrupter to reduce its mass by 85%, with a nuclear reactor for propulsion. Its main use is high altitude reconnaisance and heavy transportation with a top speed or M9. It’s obvious commercial use has resulted in the declassification of this aircraft, which will be announced to the public over the next few years, with more and more “sightings” being recorded in order to condition the masses to its arrival.
P.S. all this info is available online……..
you fools
maybe it really was a dorito
bc bird - clearly you haven’t educated yourself on this topic otherwise you probably wouldn’t have made it…. Declaring everyone to be drunks is about as bigoted and onesided as one could be. Perhaps you need some coursework in critical thinking and research before demonstrating to all of us just how shallow your intellectual capacities are.
If you do not beleive in UFO,s then why do you read the web page? There is more than enough stuff on the web to keep you entertained. I can’t speak to this case, but do you think every picture is some sort of fake? If you see the pic or vid, and you can not tell what it is, then it by “definition” is a UFO.
I am getting so tired of you “debunkers” with nothing better to do than sift thru the web and find “every” article about a UFO and make stupid jokes. FYI, the are not “clever” or “quick Witted” there just lame. I think there could be a deeper reason for this “witch Hunt” you seem to be on. Could it be you might be a little bit scared that there possibly may be alein life visiting us? I mean I don’t really think the Lock Ness monster is real, but I don’t go “Looking” for every published sighting and pic to make fun of them. I don’t even care if they are published. No I think you may have to re-evaluate what you are “truly” saying, every time you post some LAMO response. Get ofer the fact you are scared! If they are real and if they are visiting, don’t you think they could have made some kind of hostle move by now? Face your fear and move on…

Interesting choice of words when you too are posting here.
BBD- whatever was in Rendlesham in 1980 wasn’t 160ft by 98ft. It was pyramid shaped, as described by eyewitnesses. The mythical aircraft you describe didn’t even appear in UFO reports until the late 1980s. The pic in the article is from the Belgium flap in 1992 and is what I was referring to in my post #34…
We seen a UFO 11/30/07
I sent in a report the same day.
never heard anything back about it
my younger brother was infront of our house and called me out to look at this object flying over our house. one red light in the centre, three outer white lights in the shape of triangle. it was a clear night, easy to see, object had a clear shape to it. flew at a constant speed and in one direction untill it dissapeared out of view about 2-3 mins later. would like to see this video.
I wonder, why should anyone who doesn’t believe or hope that UFO’s really exists, read those webdiscussions and make negative comments. What is their interest? Is it for the mere reason they try to persuade believers, or are they trying to fool people who know the truth?
i love how people try and prove that its a hoax. seriously, u have no proof of it being a hoax and other people have no proof of it being real. its been seen many times apprently, but no man or woman has gone far into the galaxy to even say “there is no such thing as other life” but what we do know, there has been a sighting of some sort, no idea what is it but it, what ever it is exists. in a months time , might be seen again, or even tomorrow. if it is a hoax it will be proven a hoax soon enough. for people who do think its a hoax, try and widen ya minds abit and stop being afriad of something u dont understand. we exist, why cant other life ?
I saw it while looking out my window on either 30th Nov. or Early-Mid December, I couldn’t sleep, and I saw TWO pyramids, and even though it was dark, I could just about see they were silver and spinning a bit. Also, a normal light from our golf club was several colours when it was usually one, and the moon had a face, as in, it was making expressions when I looked at it, looked away, looked back at it, etc. It made a last expression as if to say it didn’t want me to tell anyone what I’d seen, and that it was worried I’d managed to see all this in the first place. It all looked pretty real to me. Interesting, eh?
Walsall Guy, I’m sure I saw that same one you mentioned, but I saw it two or three years ago.
Maybe it’s for a good reason though that they don’t tell anyone, we wouldn’t want to tempt anything bad we don’t want to happen.

joe Horton-seen ufo.
i guess to a ufo club.well most do but clubs dont know nothing at all.
as i should know.
JW on the fence
Seriously, it would be interesting if a group of a few people who wrote comments on seeing the UFO(s), met up and talked about it, we could then maybe trace if and where newer UFOs are going to turn up, using information of past UFO appearances. We could see where they’ve been before and maybe they might return some time to those locations…
Maybe the UFOs are around us all the time but maybe they’re just invisible, not to make you feel paranoid or anything though.
JON_
might be”but some ufo’s are so unpredictible.
