UFOs spotted 'around one a month' says UK air traffic boss

UFOs

Have you ever seen a weird object in the night sky?

Well apparently UFOs aren't as rare as you might think according to the man in charge of UK airspace.

Richard Deakin is in charge of making sure that around 6000 flights a day move through airspace safely but says they can't always identify what they see.

He said there are objects "that don't conform to normal traffic patterns... typically around one a month".

So keep your eyes on the skies!
