London, Apr 26 : A foreign student on a sightseeing spree in South London has claimed to have seen and photographed a UFO.

Anastasiya Gavrilenko from Russia insists that she had seen and captured the mysterious object speeding through the sky while walking through a park in Croydon, south London.

"I went to the park because I wanted to take some nice photos in England. But then I heard something in the sky. I looked up and noticed this thing in the sky," The Sun quoted Gavrilenko, as saying.

"It was quite large and moving really fast. It was size of a plane but did not look like one - it looked more like a big mushroom," she added.

Gavrilenko said that she was stunned to see her snaps.

"I never believed in things like UFOs before I took this picture but now I think they could be true," she said.
