Eye-witnesses report more UFO sightings
|
People from all around the Scarborough area have been contacting the
Evening News to report sightings of strange lights in the area last
week.
The witnesses have come forward after a woman reported seeing two
lights flying near her home in Sleights, near Whitby, last Tuesday at
7.10pm.
She and her son watched the lights for a short time before they flew off at a fast speed towards the sea
Her story was in Monday's Evening News and another witness says she saw
an intense bright light hovering by Scarborough Castle at about 7.40pm
the same night.
She said: "I was driving along North Bay Promenade when I noticed a small group of people stood looking up at the castle.
"When I looked I saw a light just hovering there - it was not a
helicopter because it didn't make a sound and it didn't look like one."
By the time she got round to the South Bay she could not see the light.
Another witness who saw a light at 7.30pm over Ravenscar said she was "amazed" by what she saw.
The woman, who had two children in the car at the time, said: "I had
just dropped someone off and was heading home to Robin Hood's Bay when
I saw what looked like a very bright star in the sky above Ravenscar.
"The light went off but came back on again a few moments later. We all saw it."
A man fishing between Goathland and Egton Bridge said he saw a silent
bright light above the trees just a few hundred feet from where he sat.
The man, who describes himself as being a "UFO skeptic", says he was
unnerved enough to pack up his fishing gear immediately and go home.
Another woman says she saw a strange light above Reighton on the
previous Sunday night and discounted the possibility it may have been a
shooting star or a comet.
A Whitby-based UFO investigator for Quest International, which examines
such sightings says there has been increased activity over recent
months for sightings of possible UFOs along the north east coast from
Teesside to Bridlington.
Paul Upton said: "We have had lots of reports and one was made last
Tuesday night by someone in Scarborough who saw a group of lights
heading from the sea inland."
