Young Clevedon Reporters Get A Scoop That Is Out Of This World

A UFO has crashed at a primary school in Clevedon - giving the
most clear sign yet that aliens do exist.

The object, described by witnesses as an alien spacecraft,
crashed on the playing fields at Yeo Moor Junior School shortly
before midnight on Wednesday.

It then took off again but, as well as leaving a trail of debris
behind, footprints were also found.

Police are not confirming what it is but a crime scene
investigator exclusively told the Mercury 'he had never seen
anything like it before' and that in his opinion 'it appeared to
be alien'.

Mrs Symes, of Baytree Road, said she was walking her dog at
about 11pm on Wednesday when she heard 'an amazing noise'.

She said: "Initially I thought it was an aircraft having
trouble, then I spotted this strange-looking rocket-type machine
falling to the ground.

"It crashed at the school and there was a huge explosion.

My dog was going berserk and I suddenly felt very frightened so
I ran home and immediately called the police.

When I was on the phone I heard engines start again and saw the
rocket take off and disappear within seconds.

"I didn't think the police would believe me, and to start with
they didn't, but then they cordoned off the school field."

PCSO Linda Richards was the first person on the scene.

She said: "I have to admit when we spoke to Mrs Symes we thought
she was having us on but I still had to investigate.

"When I got to the school everything was quiet but just as I was
about to leave I spotted smoke from the corner of the field.

I then saw that some sort of aircraft had landed on the field,
but had taken off again.

I cordoned off the area so that officers could start
investigating at first light and called headteacher Roland
Lovett."

Mrs Clark, a learning support assistant who lives near the
school, also witnessed the crash.

She said she was worried that no-one would believe her, so was
relieved when she realised she wasn't the only one who saw it.

She said: "I was up late preparing school work and heard an
amazing noise.

"I had no idea what it was but spotted a machine a bit like a
rocket, which was falling to Earth.

"When it crashed there was a huge explosion so my husband and I
went to investigate.

"We saw it was at the school but couldn't get in as the gates
were locked.

"It definitely looked like something extra-terrestrial to me."

Yeo Moor Junior School was open on Thursday, but pupils were not
allowed near the crash site.

Sgt Gareth Starr said: "We are investigating the matter but
cannot give any more details at this time.

A spokesman for Bristol International Airport said air traffic
controllers reported nothing unusual.
