Is there plane truth behind the UFOs?

They're here - and they've been spotted by dozens of folk across the Black Country in the past few weeks.Is it a bird, is it a plane or could it be an invasion of little green men from outer space? Jonathan Wood investigates the recent sightings of UFOs in the skies above the Black Country. They're here - and they've been spotted by dozens of folk across the Black Country in the past few weeks. Mysterious triangular unidentified flying objects with sinister flaming orange lights have been seen above Dudley, Halesowen and Lower Gornal in the last month. Spotted in the early evening and flying in a westerly direction, the strange craft have been seen by schoolchildren, pensioners and paranormal enthusiasts. Dubbed the 'Dudley Doritos', the UFOs have raised fears that extraterrestrial beings are about to invade the area. But a sonic boom over Shropshire this week could have solved the mystery of the "spacecraft" sightings. The incident involving Britain's newest fighter jet has offered a clue to the Black Country space invaders. A malfunction to a Typhoon Eurofighter forced the pilot to plunge 30,000ft causing a sonic boom which shook the county. The plane - which when viewed from underneath looks like a triangle with lights at the tips of both wings and on the nose cone - performed an emergency descent above Shrewsbury, breaking the sound barrier.
