Hi Ken: I was outside sky-watching and the weather was fair with good visibility, and I was focused upon an area of the sky when I suddenly noticed a black object far off in the distance. The object was morphing into different shapes as it moved and ascended into the sky. The black object also had a bright white light that flashed when it took on different forms. At one point it looked like a sickle before it then became more dagger-like. I was very perplexed by what I was seeing. I managed to take three photographs of this bizarre morphing object with my Sony HX-300 camera, capturing it every time it changed in appearance. It then turned more serpent-like and then just simply vanished from view in plain sight. What on earth could this bizarre black morphing object have been?
It’s incredible how easily this thing was able to change shape so quickly while moving about in the sky. I have seen and captured some really strange anomalies over the years in the skies above Devon, and this is one of the strangest objects I have seen. I sky-watch all the time and I just keep seeing these bizarre anomalous aerial objects. The photographs were taken at around 1:00 PM, on the 28th of October 2017, at Newton Abbot Devon England. Note: The date and time were not set correctly within the camera, so the photograph metadata shows the wrong date and time. The date and time stated in this report is the correct version. All the best John

It was a clear sunny day, and I was still at Jetty Marsh. The air was clear, allowing for unhindered views across the sprawling landscape. I remained perched at my familiar vantage point, an elevated section known locally as ‘the basin’ - a spot that had proven to be a great observation deck for the extraordinary.
My P900 camera, a constant companion, lay ready in my hands, its lens still warm from recent activity. My adrenaline was still faintly buzzing from the prior sighting. I had already amassed a collection of intriguing anomalies, but the most recent had been particularly dramatic: a classic flying saucer, shimmering faintly, had materialized above the local quarry.
It had shot by, accelerating away with astonishing speed, vanishing into the vast blue expanse. My eyes, already trained to scan the heavens, instinctively followed its impossible trajectory, but the sky offered no clue to its whereabouts.
Frustration, a familiar companion in these moments, pricked at me. Where did it go? How could something so substantial simply dissolve from view? My gaze swept the horizon once more, hoping for some tell-tale flicker, but the sky remained an empty canvas.
Reluctantly, I lowered my view, turning my attention down towards the glistening river of the Teign Estuary. It was a well-known area for activity, a natural funnel for both terrestrial and, it seemed, non-terrestrial phenomena.
I meticulously scrutinized the distant fields, the winding river, and the hazy outline of the surrounding hills, my mind silently willing another glimpse of the anomalous. And then, almost as if summoned by my intent, it happened. My heart leaped into my throat.
Without a whisper of sound or any discernible disturbance in the air, a saucer-shaped object shot upwards from a seemingly innocuous field near the estuary’s edge. It wasn’t a slow ascent; it was an explosive, vertical launch, defying every known law of physics.
My camera, poised by instinct, instantly came alive, its shutter clicking in rapid succession as I desperately attempted to capture this incredible event. The object was distinctly different from the one that had just departed. This anomaly presented a sleek, gray surrounding body, almost metallic in its muted sheen, which contrasted sharply with a perfectly circular, jet-black underside.
It moved with an eerie fluidity, climbing steadily on a clean, diagonal flight path, gaining altitude with breathtaking speed. The most striking detail, however, was the complete absence of any visible propulsion system - no jets, no plumes of exhaust, no rotating blades, just silent, effortless motion against the canvas of the sky.
I managed to secure seven distinct photographs, each frame a testament to its existence. It ascended with such incredible velocity that, despite my rapid attempts to track it, the object quickly diminished in size, becoming first a tiny, distinct disc, then a shrinking speck, before finally merging with the distant haze of the upper atmosphere and vanishing from view entirely.
The silence that followed felt profound, broken only by the distant calls of gulls. Standing there, the memory of the two distinct sightings, one following so swiftly after the other, cemented a truth I had long observed. This specific vantage point at ‘the basin’ had become a veritable hotspot for unexplained aerial phenomena.The sheer volume of anomalous objects I had witnessed and, more crucially, captured from this very spot, underscored just how prevalent these anomalous truly are within the unique landscape of Devon. The seven photographs of this latest encounter, undeniable evidence of an alien presence within the area. They were taken at 3:16 PM on the 9th of July 2025, from Newton Abbot, Devon, England.
