Witness Description:
On 18th march 2020 I was walking with a group of four friends over the old Oswestry hill fort in Shropshire; we had stopped to take some tea and while we were getting this ready we all heard a humming and buzzing noise approach us from behind and to the north west.
We turned around, and literally in the sky right in front of us was this very weird-looking triangle shaped 'thing' that was clearly not any aircraft I have ever known or seen before.
It was moving slowly sort of towards us and quite low; I would say approx 400 to 500ft altitude.
It made a slight turn and flew from right to left in front of us heading in a southerly direction towards the town of Shrewsbury.
This craft was quite bizarre in appearance and made a strange hum as it flew by.
I am a retired Royal Air Force air traffic controller with 20 years service and I have never seen or known anything like this.
I retired in 2019, so I am fully aware of all drone technology in the military, and can confirm that this was not anything even remotely near that!
I have seen some pretty exotic aircraft in my time, and have been based at places like mod Boscombe Down, but this craft was unlike anything I had ever witnessed previously!
