UFO in the UK...another hoax?

( August 20, 2011 | Daily Mail )

The Daily Mail reports that an unidentified flying object was witnessed in the Essex-Hertfordshire border. The witness, a 36-year old who identified himself as "alvinol", reportedly captured the UFO on video and posted it to YouTube last July 29 as seen below:



The video is widely considered a hoax although a BBC reporter claimed to have seen a similar UFO in the same location five days later. The UFO was seen at about 4:15 in the morning and was described as a large disc surrounded by lights. The reporter witnessed the UFO for three minutes before it disappeared.
