“It looked like it was over West Pinchbeck,” said George, “but then it disappeared.

“It was my son who noticed it in the sky and asked if it was a twister. I looked at it trying to think of an alternative explanation, as twisters aren’t really common occurrences around here, but I had to concede that’s what it was.

“We went into town for football training and as we were waiting for the ground to be opened I noticed everyone taking pics of something in the sky and I realised it was back!

“It was quite eerie and I watched as it slowly dispersed, but not before I had chance to get the camera out.”
