The mystery around a UFO seen swooping through Bedfont skies on Sunday deepens as more people contact us with similar strange stories.

Yesterday Bedfont gran Lynne Martin, of Beech Road, appealed for fellow witnesses after spotting a trio of mysterious lights 'swooping and merging' in the skies above her home at 11pm on Sunday night.

Within minutes Isleworth mum Kimberley Eliadef contacted us, adamant she saw something she could not explain in the night sky on Sunday.

"My neighbour thinks we're all barmy," she said. "But four of us saw itand so did two dog walkers I met in the park. There were threedisk-like lights following each other and moving away, then meeting inthe middle."

Ms Eliadef, of Tolson Road, was so intrigued she contacted TwickenhamStadium to check they were not responsible. But a spokesman insistedthey had no major events or lighting checks scheduled on Sunday.

Hounslow resident Harmeet Sethi also spotted the unidentified objectsflying through the air and was so alarmed he contacted the police.

"I saw them with my friend," said Mr Sethi, of the Great West Road. "We checked to see what it was but couldn't find anything and the policeweren't interested.

"I tried to take a picture but it wouldn't come out on my camera phone. I just don't know what they could have been.

"A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defence said she was 'not aware' miltary operations going on in the area at the time of the sightings. She said: "The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity. "If required, sighting reports are examined with the assistance of the Department's air defence experts. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported."

A spokeswoman for NATs, the main air traffic controller for Heathrow, said: "There was't any unusual activity at that time of evening."
