25-10-17 Unseen Morphing UFO Oddity Over South Bay Scarborough, Yorks, UK
Report by BEAMS Investigator Stephen Gamble
Location: Looking towards Scarborough Castle ramparts, South Bay, Scarborough
Date: 25 October 2017
Taken at 15.44
Video: 159
Duration of video: 21 seconds.
Duration of appearance of two objects: 003-006 seconds into the video.
Two small form-changing objects were filmed flying above tall trees below Scarborough castle, ascending to about thirty to fifty feet above the ramparts, passing above the flag pole (minus English Heritage flag on that day). They did not appear to be bigger than birds smaller than the regular seagulls and their meandering flight path and appearance (at a distance) of beating wings gave them the appearance of birds. It was only when enlarging screenshots taken of frames that the shape of these things became apparent.

Both objects shared similar, almost identical transformation stages (i.e. shapes that were constantly changing into other shapes) so that one might suppose that they were of the same kind or species of object. The one that proceeded the other was not followed close on its flight path by the other but both were certainly taking the same general direction which was out to sea, between the north and south bays.
Their combined appearances took no more than three seconds before they’d gone out of view.
Both objects had what looked like dark internal spaces, or orifices, curved contours that caught the light, giving them a metallic sheen. Had they kept to one shape, I’d have dismissed them as some sort of drone but the constant shape-changing ruled that possibility out.
They were certainly not any kind of creature, children’s kite, or flying craft. This is the shortest video (21 seconds) I have ever shot while “sky fishing.” Neither object was visible at the time.
These, and other similar objects I have captured on video (at sixty frames per second) and
it seems that they do not appear in photographs - yet.
