More see mystery UFO light
|
Reported sightings of a UFO over Scarborough are continuing to grow.
At least six people now claim to have seen an inense mass of light moving rapidly across the sky on Monday.
RAF Staxton Wold say that it had no aircraft in the area and that there
were no reports of any unusual aircraft around that night.
A number of people have come forward after the Evening News reported
that a Scarborough man had spotted the light on his way home from work
on the Esplanade.
Since then, sightings have been reported all over the Scarborough area,
including Barrowcliff, Albemarle Back Road, the North Bay and by a taxi
driver on the Scarborough-to-Filey road.
Andrew Whittaker, 37, a driver for Atlas Private Hire, said that he saw the light near Boak End Garage.
"I saw what I thought was an aircraft light, but I realised it was too
bright," said Mr Whittaker, of Larch Grove, Filey. "Then the way the
thing started to move I knew it wasn't a plane or a helicopter.
"It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this. I'm interested
in aircraft, but there is no way this was any aircraft I know could
have moved like this (sic)."
Paul Gill, 42, a security guard for Instore Security, was working at Atlantis, in the North Bay, on Monday night.
"I heard this strange noise and then I saw this light flying overhead.
I was on my own there so it was a little bit scary." said Mr Gill, of
Sweetbecks Close, Eastfield.
Civil servant Dale Hepples, 19, had just returned to his parents home
on Gildercliffe when he saw the mystery light over the Castle.
"I was talking to my parents. My dad, Brian, noticed this really
intense white light," said Mr Hepples. "I went outside to look, and
this light seemed to fly straight at the house.
"There was definitely something there and it was something more mysterious than a plane."
A couple from Albemarle Back Road have also reported seeing the light.
A Scarborough police spokesman said that they had had one sighting reported.
