'UFO' seen flying over King Charles' Coronation as mystery object spotted over aircraft

A photographer claims to have pictured a 'UFO' airborne over King Charles' Coronation on Saturday.

Simon Balson, 59, was taking snaps of the aerial show which was scaled down due to weather conditions - when he picked up 'the unusual object', The Mirror reported.

The photographer says he has no clue what the object is, adding that there have been numerous similar sightings in the East London area in recent times.

The images show the Red Arrows aircraft in flight, heading towards the Mall in London - however, slightly above is a red object.

Due to the conditions, Simon did not review the photos until Sunday morning, after which he noticed the unusual object in a single frame.

He said: "I was shooting some photos from the 13th floor of my apartment building in Limehouse while the red arrows did their fly-over. The weather was bad so there were no birds in the air, and I couldn't really see the planes so I didn't check the photos until later."

He thought "what the hell."

"I enhanced the image and tried to increase the spec to see what it was, it looks like a floating acorn or something. All I could get is that it had a little bit of a red top, but I just have no idea what it could be," the snapper said.
