This was really weird as the farmer and I both witnessed this. We have seen local police driving around but not sure if this is conencted and there has also been some very low flying helicopters from the local airbase called RAF Shawbury hovering over Upton Magna our village. They never noramlly do this. I have not had chance to go onto the field and hill to look for anything as yet but am planning to this afternoon as its quite quiet in this area.
