Orb 'definitely' UFO as aliens 'monitor' Earth's airbases, claims expert – Express

British UFO expert and filmmaker, Mark Christopher Lee, has asserted that the images of a mysterious orb at Manchester Airport are unequivocally evidence of a UFO.
Recently delving into so-called “drone” episodes at military installations across the UK, Lee is now scrutinising the curious event at Manchester Airport. The imagery, dating back to June, has sparked a wildfire of speculation on social media platforms like X (once known as Twitter) and Reddit, where it was shared.
The footage depicts a round entity captured by an alleged co-pilot on the tarmac, seen either soaring in the sky or “hovering” just above ground near another plane. These events trail a spate of similar sightings, specifically several orbs spotted over Washington DC’s supposed no-fly zone.
The person who released the Manchester sighting description claimed the UAP matched the size of a small vehicle.
Intrigued, Mark Lee has flagged this incident as particularly noteworthy. Drawing parallels with historical accounts, he mentioned: “This blue orb sighting reminds me of UK researcher Timothy Good who wrote about the Australian government capturing an alien sphere in 1957 – it was made of an unknown substance and had no visible means of levitation.”Lee elaborated that this peculiar object was apprehended at Woomera’s Nuclear test facility in Australia and eventually found its way to the Wright Patterson Airforce Base in the USA, reports the Daily Star. 
Discussing the recent Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) activity he’s been investigating, he stated: “People are assuming that the UAP sightings at military bases in the East of England are Russian drones. But eye witnesses of locals who have seen these UAPs state that they move very slowly and if they are Russian how did they get here – have they flown all this way at such a slow speed”
Mark further revealed that his research for his new film – The Rendelsham UFO – The British Roswell – about an alleged UFO landing at a military base in Suffolk in 1980 (RAF Bentwaters) – has led him to believe that an alien intelligence is constantly monitoring our military bases (particularly those with Nuclear weapons). With global tensions currently high, he believes the alien presence has increased its surveillance using AI drones.He said: “What we found with the Rendelsham UFO – was that an alien presence was monitoring the Nuclear weapons that were being stored at RAF Bentwaters as part of the NATO defence during the Cold War.”
However, a spokesperson from Manchester Airport dismissed any theories of extraterrestrial visitors in this case. He suggested that the most likely explanation is either a weather or helium balloon, and questioned the authenticity of the photograph showing an object hovering above the ground on the airfield.
“We have systems that pick up anything that could be a threat to aviation,” he said.
He stated: “Anything that gives off a signal we would know about.”
He added that if there was anything on the airfield, as depicted in the photograph, it would be treated as a major incident, and no such disruption-causing event has occurred.
