Did a UFO disguised as an angel save British soldiers in World War I?

The Angel of Mons was described as either St George, St Michael, angels, or crowds of angelic warriors as it fended off advancing Germans at the Battle of Mons in 1914 – and was reported at the time by the Evening Standard.

The story was swiftly turned into myth by the soldiers themselves – and became a staple of parish magazines, and cited as evidence that God was on the British side.

But a new book, ‘UFOs of the First World War’, says that many UFO enthusiasts now believe that the ‘angel’ was an alien visitor – shaping itself into a form that would have been recognisable to the exhausted British soldiers fleeing overwhelming German might on the battlefield.
