10-5- 2000 DERBYSHIRE ENGLAND
When housewife Sharon Rowlands filmed what appeared to be a UFO flying over her tiny Derbyshire village, little did she realize what rewards the footage would bring her.
The 6-and-a-half-minute tape has been snapped up by an American TV company for more than ĂÂŁ20,000.
Mrs. Rowlands can also be proud of the knowledge her film is being ranked as one of the best pieces of UFO video footage ever shot.
California-based Kiviat Productions, which snapped up the film, is currently negotiating with TV networks across the world to show the tape as part of its âCould It Be True?â Series â but not before officials from NASA are given a preview.
Mrs. Rowlands (44), who lives with husband Hayden (45), said: âIâve watched UFO programs and if there is such a thing, this is as good a photograph as youâre going to get.
âI was a complete and utter disbeliever but seeing this has made me think twice. It was huge and through the lens it looked like it was going to hit me. I couldnât believe it â itâs like nothing else Iâve ever seen.â
The tape has been locked in a bank vault since her chance filming on October 5, 2000, with a camcorder which she had received only days earlier as a gift.
Kiviat executive producer Robert Kiviat found Mrs. Rowlandsâ film while scouring the internet.
He said: âThis is one of the top five pieces of video footage of UFOs ever taken.â
The Rowlands are just a couple living in a remote area with no agenda and no previous experience in UFO videos â they just appear to have had their camcorder out at the right time.â
A Meteorological Officer spokesman said there were no freak weather conditions on October 5 which could have caused the circular shape in the sky.
The American space agency NASA is believed to be interested in the Rowlandâs photograph because of its marked resemblance to a photograph taken during the 1996, STS-75 mission. (footage appended)
The photograph was taken by Astronaut Claude Nicoltier.
Mrs. Rowlandsâ footage capped a hive of activity in Bonsall which has seen villagers reporting 19 UFO sightings in just four months leading up to last October.
UFO enthusiast Omar Fowler founded the Derby-based Phenomenon Research Association 10 years ago and has been tracking UFOs since the 1970s.
He believes Bonsall is right up there with the foremost UFO hotbeds â including Mexico city, the USA, and Fleetwood in Lancashire.
Mr Fowler said: âI viewed Mrs Rowlandsâ tape and I was amazed at what I saw. I consider it to be one of the most important sightings of recent years â comparing very well with a recent clip from Mexico â and it typifies activity in Bonsall.â
Mr Kiviat said he will show the tape to NASA optical physicist Dr. Bruce Macabbee.
âThe Rowlandsâ tape will shock a lot of people because the image shown is the same as one taken by NASAâs own cameras showing what appears to be a UFO hovering in space, maybe three miles wide,â Mr Kiviat said. â
