Big jump in reports of UFOs
|
If there really are aliens from outer space, it would appear from
reported "sightings", that Scarborough is proving a popular venue with
them.
Compilers of reported UFO sightings say there has been an upsurge in numbers all along the North East coast.
Recorder Paul Upton, of Quest International, Whitby, said: "This year
has seen a bumper number of unusual and unexplained sightings across
the country and North Yorkshire in particular is registering the
highest number.
"It has to be said that the Scarborough area is leading the
way"
Activity is being registered north of Bridlington and up the Yorkshire coastline.
Recent sightings in Scarborough include lights flying above Morrison's
car park, a grey domed shape above Malton and stationary lights above
South Cliff, North Bay, RAF Fylingdales, Scarborough's Spa Complex and
Eastfield.
Others have seen activity over Whitby and the village of Egton.
Sightings have increased since early October when dozens of Evening
News readers reported a group of lights over Scarborough heading
towards the Moors.
Military chiefs said at the time the lights were probably American F15 fighter jets refuelling in mid-air.
But Mr Upton says the sightings were spread across a large area around
Scarborough and not everyone could have mistaken the cluster of lights
for planes.
"So far this year Britain is going through its biggest ever wave of reported sightings," he said.
"Most of what people are seeing can be rationally explained but there is still a small proportion that defies explanation."
Reports of UFOs can be made to Mr Upton (01947) 602089.
