Welwyn Garden City UFO Sighting

Sky over city, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire UFO Late 20th Century

Over Welwyn Garden City, a strange triangular shaped object appeared in the sky one evening in 1992. Two friends were out and about when they spotted this unusual craft hovering above a lake. It was a peculiar sight, to say the least, and the friends watched in amazement as the craft tilted upwards before vanishing into thin air. They didnt hang around to see if it would reappear, instead they ran home without looking back, clearly shaken by what they had just seen.

This UFO sighting took place back in 1992, a time when such events were still relatively rare and unexplained. The incident involved two friends who were out in the evening, enjoying the scenery around Welwyn Garden City. Their encounter with the triangular shaped craft has been documented as a genuine UFO sighting, with no clear explanation for what they saw. The fact that the craft simply vanished into thin air has led to much speculation about its origins and purpose.

Between the two Welwyn tunnels, a stretch of non-pedestrianised bank has borne witness to a rather eerie sighting.
