Poker player hedges bets on whether he saw UFO or bin bag in sky over Leicestershire – Leicestershire Live

Professional poker player Mason Kanabar is hedging his bets on whether he saw a UFO or not.

The 23-year-old filmed a mysterious black object as it travelled across the sky above Leicestershire.

Mason, who lives in Anstey, said he videoed the strange sight in his back garden at 8.05pm on bank holiday Monday May 31.

I was just chilling in the garden having a smoke when this thing caught my eye.

It seemed to flicker so I grabbed my phone and filmed it.

I have no idea what it was but it was odd for sure.

I did not hear any sound. It just travelled weirdly across the sky.

Mason send his video to LeicestershireLive after he read the story on Tuesday of John Hall, who said he saw a UFO in the sky above Aylestone seven hours previously on the same day.

The 76-year-old said he was sitting in his back garden in Aylestone yesterday (May 31) when he saw the large black disc in the sky.

It was not a UFO as in a flying saucer shaped craft - it was the shape of a very large black penny stood up on its side, he said.

So it was an unidentified flying object but not in the traditional sense.

John, who used to run a company supplying the clothing trade with zips and other trimmings, said he saw the strange object as he enjoyed some sunshine at about 1pm.

The disc was travelling from the direction of Wigston in the direction of Braunstone. It was silent and it was going at a steady pace then it disappeared out of view.

But I saw it for about 8 or 10 seconds. I have no idea what it was.

Mason said he, like John, does not believe in aliens.

He said: Whos to say there isnt very advanced technology out there developed by another country that we dont know about.

I dont believe in aliens but UFOs could be craft developed here on earth by other countries.

I guess what I saw was either a bin bag or a space-age craft. I guess it was a UFO because can't identify it.

Thats what all my friends and family said when they saw the video. Half of them think its a bin bag and half think it could be an unknown craft.

Im just not sure as since I filmed this thing I have been having real technology problems. It could just be a coincidence or there could be something more to it.

There have been other UFO sightings in the skies above Leicester and Leicestershire.

A strange 'bright object' was captured on camera as it hovered over Leicester and parts of the county in February 2019

Colin Saunders said he saw UFO in the skies above Barwell more than 20 years ago.

A recent nationwide survey revealed that 11% of the British public think they have seen a UFO, how 26% believe aliens exist and more than half agree that intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe.
