I meant the telly, I watched the telly and the news that was leading wasn't IMO as important (but more Brit focused), I'm used to French news where they are very good at reporting around the world stories. It's not just the Beeb, it's a British thing in general, I have to subscribe to several non British news outlets otherwise I miss interesting European/African/Asian and even American news.

BBC World Service is better than BBC Radio 4, which is better than BBC TV.

Manchester airport have said it was fake and the image was doctored.
(which was my first instinct, as said on last page).
Trouble with debunked hoaxes is, like the Terminator they come back from the dead in a few months/years time. (See the Mussolini hoax that Grush referenced - thus blowing any cachet he had - which IMO was not a lot, the Mussolini UFO was actually debunked by Italian UFO enthusiasts)

On the Lakenheath drones, you can actually hear the drone buzz on the video. Which makes it weirder that they haven't taken them out.
Reminds me of the latest beast of Bodmin flap we had at Lanhydrock this year , where a photo that looked possibly like a panther (if you squinted), or like a domestic cat - was firmly punctured by a Facebook comment going, that's the local cat and we even know his name.
(incidentally I'm a 100% skeptic on the Beast of Bodmin moor, only to find out from a local historian that in the 1990s the wildlife investigators took samples and determined samples of fur and from a kill site to be from a puma!!! But I'm still happy to say there is no Beast of Bodmin moor (if there was a puma, it's long dead). I am also aware of a big cat skull that was found in the river Fowey in 1976 - roughly the same time as the Dangerous animals act came into being). It seems, as with Dartmoor zoo's escaped lynx, animals do escape from zoos or private collections here from time to time.

The beast of Bodmin moor is more likely than a ufo.

Back on the UAP at Manchester - metabunk says the video and object ARE real, but it's the right size for a balloon, and that the video was possibly reversed to make it more convincing - so fakery of some sort + balloon.
Apparently Lakenheath tonight mucho drone activity again (source Daily Mail journo).
So what is it a) foreign activity b) local wacko activity c) no activity (as per Gatwick)?

The issue is that these things have been faked so often, and images are so easy to distort now using image manipulation techniques, or even to create totally false images that we can never trust any reports
