One night in the 1970s my dad was bringing my mum home to Birmingham from a night out in Coventry when she swore she saw blue elephants in a field by the A45. Caused a bit of a tiff as my dad obviously put it down to one too many Babychams, but she wasn't having it. A few days later the local rag ran a story about a famous circus troop over-wintering their animals at a farm near the A45. The elephants were painted with a blue substance to protect against the cold weather. Blue elephants near Birmingham Airport. For real.
What is it with Coventry and elephants...?! :whistle:

One night in the 1970s my dad was bringing me home from a night out in Coventry when I swore that I saw a huge grey elephant by the A4053. Caused a bit of a tiff as my dad obviously put it down to one too many double vodkas, but I wasn't having it!

I am not one to believe in aliens, UFO's and so on. But..... one night about 25 years ago, I was out in the garden after dark and happened to look up into the night sky. There was a bright object shining fairly low down in the sky, which was initially stationary, but then sped across the sky and disappeared from sight after just 2 or 3 seconds. Far too quickly to be an aircraft and with no noise at all. I have no clue what it was.

I just had a pal round and he had some very strange theories about similar huge 'drone' sightings in the USA last year. He thinks that they are either alien, or top-secret military drones with advanced anti-gravity propulsion! :whistle:
