I knew it would happen eventually! Every day (more or less) I’ve been taking photographs of things I stumble across on my walks around town, so it was only a matter of time before I’d get a picture of an alien spacecraft. It’s actually quite small, so therefore possibly unmanned (unaliened? unlittlegreenmanned?). Or maybe aliens are really tiny, having evolved to utilise multidimensional space to keep their massive brains in another dimension so they don’t have to carry them around on their traditionally spindly three-dimensional legs? Whatever, this is definitely it!

Because it’s really only a dot in the photograph on the right of several women taking time out from a wedding (you’ll have to look closely, its the dot directly above the woman in red checking her mobile phone) I’m appending below a blow up detail showing the UFO more clearly.

At first I thought it might be a football kicked high in the air above Hove Lawns (but its too close for that) or a Pétanque ball from the court immediately behind the seating area (but it’s too large for that, besides, you’d have to be a super-human with no understanding of the game, or indeed any regard for human life, to have thrown a boule that high in the air). However, in the enlargement you can see it more clearly as only approximately spherical, more of an irregular dodecahedron really. It seems to be metallic, grey rather than shiny, probably pitted by space debris after its long journey, and to have several curved plates covering it. There is also no evidence of any blurring caused by movement, meaning it must have been more or less stationary at the time I captured its image. I must stress, this is NOT a photoshopped fake and I can provide the original raw file as proof for any news agency who is interested (for an appropriate fee).

I just think it’s a pity for the girls in the photo that several of them look so jaded, as I am expecting this photograph to go viral and make my fortune. But after all, it’s a wedding photo so they would all have probably had a good night out before the event, and the bride and groom (pictured in the left hand image) will be delighted that my photographing their marriage was the inadvertent cause of this discovery, regardless of the state of their guests.
