A UFO was hovering near a Shirley garden centre on Sunday, it has been claimed.

In what could be a case for X-Files detectives Mulder and Scully, the round white object was said to be in the sky at about midday.

The sighting was reported to HBCC, a company that tracks unidentified flying objects.

The witness' full description of the event, in Shirley Road, Croydon, read: "At first I thought it was a plane or helicopter. However, the more I looked at it, the more I realised that there were no wings or any features.

"It was just a plain white oval object. The speed at which it was travelling told me that it wasn't a balloon either.

"I estimate, from the distance I was from it, that it was larger and travelling faster than a passenger plane.

"I pointed it out to my girl-friend, who was more interested in the plants, so I didn't get much of a response.

"I lost sight of it when it went behind some flats immediately next to the garden centre.

"This is the second object I have seen recently.A couple of months ago, a red orb passed at speed during the day directly over my garden in Addiscombe."
