ROTHERHAM, England, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Residents of a British town said they were baffled by the appearance of a triangular UFO photographed over their homes.

Locals in Rotherham, England, said the triangular object photographed in the sky by Anny Cummings, 18, resembles a craft spotted over Belgium in 1990, The Sun reported Monday.

"It moved really slowly but occasionally it'd shudder. It was completely silent," said Nayab Ahmed, 19, a friend of Cummings.

Nick Pope, former head of the Ministry of Defense's UFO unit, said the object was unlikely to be an experimental military craft.

"Some might suspect secret prototype aircraft and drones, but we test such craft in restricted military areas, not built-up places," Pope said.
