Is it a Bird? Is it a plane? Or is it a UFO?
One source told this news site that an object was seen floating above a hill in Great Camanoe near a work site and looked like a helicopter at first but the person later became convinced that it was a UFO.
Another person reportedly took their concerns all the way to the BVI Airport Authority and contacted head of the Authority Mr Denniston Fraser about what they had seen.
When this news site spoke with Mr Fraser he explained that a resident of Great Camanoe had sent him a photo of the sighting but later called the next day after arriving at the conclusion that it was a bird and nothing else. “She has sent me another email showing the drawing… labelling it’s wings and legs and so on and so forth”.
He noted that initially there may have been some scare but the woman herself emailed to say that there was nothing but a bird on the horizon. The woman evidently explained to Mr Fraser that her husband had “a closer look at it” and it looked like it was a bird.
The International Business Times reported on February 6, 2013 that eight unidentified flying objects were spotted in the skies of Mexico during the last week of January.
A video uploaded on YouTube showed eight unidentified objects flying in a synchronised manner which could be mistaken for birds. But a closer look revealed that the wing-like structures attached to each object do not flap and the rest of the body seem to emit fluorescent light.
The objects change the course of flight together making it appear as if they were controlled by intelligence.
After the video footage grabbed wide attention speculations emerged that the flying objects could be human-built aircrafts or drones that were being tested in Mexico.
According to Wikipedia, an unidentified flying object, often abbreviated UFO or U.F.O., is an unusual apparent anomaly in the sky that is not readily identifiable to the observer as any known object. Originally referred to popularly as "flying saucers" during the late 40's, the term UFO became more widespread during the 50s at first in professional literature, but later in popular language. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a hightened concern for national security.
Various studies, both governmental and civilian, have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific persuit, although there is disagreement. Culturally, the phenomenon has often been associated with extraterrestrial life or government-related conspiracy theories, and thus has become a popular theme in fiction.
Up to post time this news site did not receive any response from the Royal Virgin Islands Police regarding whether they had received any reports of the alleged sighting.
