A UFO expert reckons his neighbour has vital new evidence for the existence of aliens.

Author Timothy Good, 60, believes a mysterious circular object moving across the sky spotted by neighbour Chris Taylor, could be a genuine and important sighting.

Postman Mr Taylor, 44, saw the object from his bedroom in The Avenue, Beckenham.

He said "I looked out of the window and saw this thing, like a light moving very quickly, going against the usual direction of air traffic.

"It was going way too fast to be a hot air balloon, and seemed very high up. I couldn't say what it was.

"I've never seen anything like it in my life. I've seen unusual things but nothing like that."

Mr Good, who claims to have seen a UFO above Orpington back in 1980, is a world-renowned expert on UFOs.

He believes there are several different species of aliens living on earth and has been invited to The Pentagon to discuss his research.

He said: "It sounds like this could be a genuine sighting, and I was very interested in what Mr Taylor said."
