Marie Noel, 59, said: 'The video shows very small black shadows flying across the sky before it a bigger one flies nearer the camera'

This is the moment eerie-looking black shapes appear to slither across the sky over east London leaving a grandmother ‘speechless’.

Marie Noel, 59, was at her home in Walthamstow, East London on December 26 when she heard birds squawk, something which she said was unusual.

‘The birds were making a lot of noises. I feed the birds and know they don’t normally make these sorts of noises at two o’clock in the morning. They’re normally asleep,’ she told MailOnline.

This made the foster carer feel unsettled and she decided to have a look for herself at what was causing all this.

She stepped out and started filming the skies, in case she saw something.

The video shows very small black shadows flying across the sky before a bigger one flies nearer the camera.

The mum-of-four said: ‘I initially started recording but didn’t see anything so I turned it off.

‘I filmed again and at the time I didn’t see it at first, it was only when I looked at the video that I saw the two things.

'But then I saw the big one and I didn't even know what it was. It didn't look right and didn't look like a machine or a person. It was some sort of creature'

Ms Noel added: 'I saw it with my own eyes and the only thing I can describe it was like a tadpole. It didn't make any noises whatsoever'

The grandmother of three said she was left ‘speechless’ when she watched the video on her phone and could only find one explanation.

She said: ‘It was some alien-type thing, that’s my explanation, I can’t think of anything else that it could be. It wasn’t a person or a machine, so I don’t know.  It didn’t look like mist either.

‘It was like the dementors from Harry Potter, that’s what it reminds me of. I wasn’t scared but it just left me speechless.

‘I had heard of things being seen in the sky but that had never happened to me. I had never seen anything like it before.’

It comes after a US military witness with over 25 years of experience has revealed his own late night encounter with a UFO, that lit up his campsite and ‘made absolutely no noise.’ 

The event came less than a month before a more senior ex-Pentagon counter-intel official, Luis Elizondo, testified before Congress accusing the US government actors of secretly working to ‘hide the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos .’

‘I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth,’ Elizondo said.

The October 21, 2024 campsite UFO, according to the military witness who requested anonymity, hovered as close as 100 yards above him along the treeline: ‘The entire area lit up brighter than the brightest full moon I’ve ever seen,’ he reported.

‘I knew it wasn’t the moon because I had already located the moon prior,’ the trained observer noted of this 20–30 foot UFO. ‘[The moon] was a dimly lit waning gibbous.’

The career military man, who reported this episode to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), added: ‘I observed it for at least a minute before fear took over and I sank back down into the bed of my truck and into my sleeping bag.’

The oval-shaped ‘stationary, bright white light’ resembles one newly public case reported this November by Connecticut policeman Robert Klein, who professed that an orb UFO, the size of a Mini Cooper, ‘lit up the entire cab’ of his patrol car in 2022.

Fear over roughly car-sized ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ (UAP), often described as ‘mystery drones,’ has swept the nation since November as sightings across New Jersey and surrounding states have eerily matched cases over US military bases.  

Earlier this month, MailOnline revealed reports from its readers about ‘drones’ and UFOs being spotted across the UK in the last few months.

We have found at least six previously unknown recent sightings of UFOs in this country ranging from rural Northumberland to urban Luton – including more over UK military airbases.

And one military expert has warned that the sightings could be the work of Russian ‘sleeper agents’ looking to test the aerial defences of western nations.

The drones panic began in the UK when mysterious lights were spotted over RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, which has been earmarked as a storage facility for US nuclear warheads three times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.

A 'bright light' was also spotted on December 17 while taking a picture of the sunrise

One spotted a bright flying object near RAF Boulmer in Northumberland, a key station helping providing surveillance of UK airspace and tactical control of combat and support aircraft 

‘I took two photos of a lovely sunrise,’ she told us.

‘I looked back at them later and spotted a bright light in the sky. If you zoom in it’s sort of diamond-shaped.’

She added: ‘There was a few seconds between photos and in that time it has moved across the sky. I am 18 miles south of RAF Boulmer. 

‘When I zoomed in the photo to see if it looked like a plane or a helicopter – it definitely doesn’t.’

Meanwhile Rebecca Cardwell, from Blackpool, said she saw what she described as ‘slow moving lights’ around 7pm on October 19.

The city is just 15 minutes from Weeton Barracks, which has recently become the home of the first Battalion of the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment.

She said: ‘I went to open my bedroom window at approximately 7pm to see slow moving bright orange flames or objects flying over in procession. 

‘I’ve never seen anything like this before and took some pictures.’
