Can you solve the mystery of the object which parachuted into the sea off the Isle of Sheppey?
What looks like a pilot's ejector seat was videoed dropping into the waves off Minster Beach on the evening of Sunday, September 6.
Video of mystery parachute
Layla Stagg of Invicta Road, Sheerness, said: "My son observed something going into the sea which looked like a child’s car seat attached to a parachute. We are a bit concerned about what it was."
Her son, 19, took a video on his mobile phone which shows the object spiralling down and then crashing into the water with a splash.
She said: "My son was with a friend at the time and he saw it, too."
Did anyone else see the puzzling parachute?
Do you have any ideas what the UFO - unidentified floating object - could be? The fact that it was spotted on a Sunday rules out military activity at the Shoeburyness firing range across the water in Essex.
Some of our favourite suggestions already in the frame include a visit from the tooth fairy, the arrival of Mary Poppins, a toilet roll drop-off, the landing of the house from the children's cartoon Up, a new way for asylum-seekers to enter Britain, emergency food supplies for 'third world' Sheppey and a microlight drugs drop.
