A man captured footage of “a UFO” hovering over his neighbor’s house.

John Nicholls, 45, was in bed watching TV with his wife, Maureen, 50, at 9 pm on November 17 when he looked out the window and noticed an object in the sky.

Nicholls dismissed it as a meteor or a planet but says it started making “odd shapes and changing colors” — going from yellow to purple and white.

Nicholls got out of bed and filmed the unidentified object — that was “absolutely huge” — for a few minutes before he says it disappeared.

He said he didn’t believe in aliens but after seeing the “UFO” they are both “convinced” they exist.

Nicholls, a health and safety inspector, from Alresford, Colchester, Essex, said: “When I first saw it I thought it was a planet or something.

“I kept watching and it started making odd shapes and changing colors – it was all very odd,” Nicholls said. John Nicholls / SWNS

“Only a few days ago, I showed my partner the video of Project Blue Book Alien interview as a bit of fun and we see this couple of days later – it’s bloody mental,” Nicholls said. John Nicholls / SWNS

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

“I’m not a big UFO man but I have been keeping up with the UFO hearings in America as it is interesting.
