Metallic Blue Sphere Sighting
I don’t have a photo or video to share, but honestly, my phone wouldn’t do it justice anyway. Around 16:45 on February 28, 2025, I spotted a metallic blue spherical object emitting light in Taunton, Somerset. It looked similar to something that was reported at Manchester Airport a few weeks ago.
I pulled a colleague aside at work to get a second opinion, and while he’s a skeptic, he did acknowledge that I wasn’t imagining it. He suggested it might be a drone, but it didn’t look like anything I’ve ever encountered before.
If anyone else has seen something similar or has insights, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!

That sounds like a fascinating experience! While it’s difficult to identify what you saw without any visuals, there are a few possibilities you could consider.
Drones: As your colleague mentioned, it could indeed be a drone. Many drones are equipped with LED lights and can appear quite stunning in the sky, especially at dusk. Some even have spherical designs, which might match your description.
Balloon or Kite: Another possibility could be an illuminated balloon or a kite designed to reflect light in a metallic way. These can sometimes catch the light in surprising ways.
Meteorological Phenomena: Sometimes atmospheric conditions can create unusual optical effects that may appear like a spherical object emitting light.
UFOs: While it’s always fun to speculate about unidentified flying objects, it’s essential to approach such claims cautiously. If this is a recurring phenomenon in your area, perhaps more reports from others could provide additional context.
If you’re interested, consider reaching out to a local UFO group or community. They might have more insight or similar reports. Keep observing and sharing what you see!
