The first to spot a saucer perhaps above outskirts of Exeter? (10)
I believe the answer is:
discoverer
'the first to spot' is the definition.
(the first person to spot or observe something)
'a saucer perhaps above outskirts of exeter?' is the wordplay.
'a saucer perhaps' becomes 'disc' (saucer is a kind of disc).
'above' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'outskirts of' suggests removing the centre.
'exeter' with its centre removed is 'er'.
'disc'+'over'+'er'='DISCOVERER'
