I spotted an ‘absolutely huge’ UFO hovering silently over my neighbor’s house—its lights pulsing like it was scanning something below.

John Nicholls, 45, was in bed watching TV with his wife, Maureen, 50, at 9 pm on November 17 when he looked out the window and noticed an object in the sky.

Nicholls dismissed it as a meteor or a planet but says it started making “odd shapes and changing colors” — going from yellow to purple and white.

Nicholls got out of bed and filmed the unidentified object — that was “absolutely huge” — for a few minutes before he says it disappeared.

He said he didn’t believe in aliens but after seeing the “UFO” they are both “convinced” they exist.

Nicholls, a health and safety inspector, from Alresford, Colchester, EsSєx, said: “When I first saw it I thought it was a planet or something.

“I kept watching and it started making odd shapes and changing colors – it was all very odd,” Nicholls said. John Nicholls / SWNS

“We have seen meteor showers before from our window and it was nothing like that.

“From our bedroom, we can see the night sky and I have never seen anything like that.

“Only a few days ago, I showed my partner the video of Project Blue Book Alien interview as a bit of fun and we see this couple of days later – it’s bloody mental,” Nicholls said.
