On May 14, 2025, at approximately 2:19 PM local time, two witnesses reported an unusual aerial phenomenon near Buildwas, England. According to their account submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), the object remained visible for about five minutes.
The witnesses observed the object about one mile south of their location, a few hundred feet in the air. Initially, they assumed it was a microlight aircraft—common in the area—but quickly realized it behaved differently. The object had a cigar-like shape and appeared silver and black, changing color as it reflected light. A black box seemed to be suspended beneath it.
The object moved up and down in the sky before eventually drifting away and vanishing from sight. The witnesses noted that they did not see it fall to the ground.
While a partially deflated weather balloon is considered a possible explanation, the observers—familiar with local aerial activity such as hang gliders, microlights, and hot air balloons—stated they had never seen anything like it before.
This report adds to the growing number of unexplained aerial sightings and leaves open the question: weather balloon, drone… or something else entirely?
