According to Britain's Ministry of Defense, the number of UFO sightings in the country rose by about 40 percent last year.

The Ministry of Defense said that in 2007, it had recorded at least 135 reports of UFO sightings. That is up from the 97 sightings recorded in 2006.

One report says that a camper lost his dog when it was abducted by an alien ship in Cardiff.

Another report claims that there was a sighting of two mile-wide objects over Guernsey.

"I'm not saying it was from another world, but I've never seen anything like it in all my years of flying," Ray Bowyer, 50, one of the two pilots who reported the Guernsey sighting, reportedly said.

Another witness in Rotherham claimed seeing "a bright triangular object in the sky," which was stationary at first and then moved.

"Fifty objects, each with a single orange light. They gathered before ascending directly upwards," another witness in Duxford, Cambridgeshire reportedly said.
