<P class="first-para bold padding-bottom-7">A STUDENT was left shocked when she checked her tourist snaps of the London skyline - and spotted what looks like a flying saucer. </P>
<P class=article>University Of Exeter academic Karolina-Slavka Mueller was in London for the weekend, when she took some shots with her camera phone of the sights. </P>
<P class=article>But when she looked back at the January 19 night time pictures of Tower Bridge and the London Eye, she was shocked to see an apparent UFO. </P>
<P class=article><I>And experts claim it is the real thing. </I></P>
<P class=article>Karolina said in an email: "What's very strange about this is the fact that we didn't actually see this object in the sky while I was taking the photos. </P>

<P class=article>"I only discovered it once I loaded the photos onto my computer as I didn't even look at the photos until then." </P>
<P class=article>The images - taken around 3.50am - were taken eight minutes apart as Karolina and two pals drove through Central London. </P>
<P class=article>The apparent UFO is at an angle and appears to emit a mysterious blue light. </P>
<P class=article>Karolina added: "None of us can come up with a reasonable answer to what this might have been. </P>
<P class=article>"One of my friends, the driver, has grown up in London and he can't find a reasonable answer. </P>
<P class=article>"He says he's never seen anything like it and that there definitely isn't any building in this area that could look like this." </P>
<P class=article>UFO experts have been left scratching their heads over the sighting. </P>
<P class=article>Editor, cameraman and UFO researcher Chris Martin said: "I was looking for evidence that these have been fabricated. </P>
<P class=article>"I couldn't find any evidence. It's unprecedented because she produced three pictures, which seems to show it's flying. </P>
<P class=article>"My own evaluation is that these photographs are genuine and have not been digitally manipulated or hoaxed." </P>
<P class=article>He added: "These photos are, in my opinion as a UFO researcher, absolutely astounding and show a real object seemingly under intelligent control. </P>
<P class=article><I>"This is a classic flying saucer-shaped UFO."</I></P>
<P class=article>A Ministry of Defence spokesperson did not comment on the sighting, saying: "The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised<I></I>by hostile or unauthorised military activity. </P>
<P class=article>"Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, there is no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported." </P>
