Holidaymers looked to the sky in awe as a mysterious object hovered above them for 10 minutes.
The UFO was spotted over a caravan park in Brean, Somerset near the coast. One tourist managed to film the object.
Something strange is definitely happening in Somerset. Last year local coastguards were called out to search Somerset's coastline after sightings of a mystery parachute and canister, which were never found.

Footage of what appears to be a UFO hovering above the British coastline has caused a stir among experts.
The mysterious cylinder was spotted above a busy caravan park in Brean, Somerset, on a rare sunny day last summer.
Holidaymakers looked in amazement as the object appeared in the clear blue sky and remained for more than 10 minutes.
The cylinder-shaped object is captured on video camera seemingly hovering in the sky above Brean in Somerset
One tourist had his video camera and managed to capture its strange, erratic movements in the sky.
There are already a range of theories on what the object might have been, with some believing it was a kite or balloon.
The footage has since been uploaded onto video sharing website YouTube, where it has sparked fierce debate.
Users claim the object looks like a 'high altitude observation balloon payload'.
However, UFO 'expert' Malcolm Robinson insisted the object was 'totally consistent' with other sightings.
Mr Robinson, who runs UFO group Strange Phenomena Investigations, said: 'This video of a UFO is clearly very exciting.
'While UFOs are commonly thought to be spherical in shape, we receive dozens of calls from people who have spotted similar cylinder-shaped objects.
'There is, of course, an argument that this could be a weather balloon or some other common object.
'But my research has shown that it is totally consistent with other UFO sightings, none of which have been hoaxes or naturally-occurring phenomenon.'
It is not the first time a mystery object has been spotted in the skies over Brean.
Last June, local coastguards were called out to search Somerset's coastline after sightings of a mystery parachute and canister, which were never found.
