Coastguard and Police alerted to UFO (unidentified floating object) off Portland | Dorset Echo
A spoksman for Portland Bill Coastguard Rescue Team said: "The team was tasked by the NMOC (National Maritime Operations Centre) along with Weymouth & Portland Police to a report by a member of the public, of a black object seen floating on the surface of the water approximately 300 metres from the shore.
"With the object being very difficult to identify in the fading light, the NPAS helicopter was tasked to illuminate the area and believed it could be a marker bouy for a string of nets.

However, Seigmeister's main interest was his hollow earth theory, and he was in good company, including Edmond "Comet" Halley. Halley's dad bought him cutting-edge astronomical equipment when he entered Oxford in 1673, and three years and many astronomical papers later, Halley dropped out, sailed to St. Helena Island where he cataloged 341 Southern Hemisphere stars, figured out the size of the solar system and improved the sextant.
Halley soon argued with Society members Richard Hook and Christopher Wren about how to accurately measure planetary motion. They took their debate to Isaac Newton, who told them he'd figured it out earlier but couldn't find his notes, but agreed to redo calculations.
