UFO spotters in a flap over picture

Yesterday our website posted a story from the UK's Daily Mail with a really intriguing image.

At first this looks like an incredible shot of a UFO and possibly 'proof' (like the headline proclaims) that UFOs exist.

Unfortunately it's also a really good example of not leaping to conclusions and why images should be rigorously inspected by experts.

Because, if you  look twice, is it not a seagull speeding past the lens?

Here at the UFO Bureau we love images of UFOs and aliens but we can't celebrate something that has such a plausible explanation.
