They revealed that in 1986 police officers based at Holmfirth responded to reports of two bright lights in the sky above Emley Mast.

Officers arrived on the scene at around 4.20am and watched the UFO, which was around 1,200 feet above the mast for several minutes. It had bright white lights at either end.

A statement from an unnamed officer said: “On first seeing the object it was totally static in the sky, not moving in any direction, but appeared to be hovering.”

Another said: “It did not move in any direction though it appeared to wobble and distort.”

It is thought nine people saw the UFO, which appeared to be changing colour from red to green before it flew off in an easterly direction.

Officers reported the sighting to the Civil Aviation Authority, which could give no explanation.

It was confirmed it was not a commercial or private aircraft.

In another incident in Kent in 1991 the pilot of an Al Italia jet reported a brown missile-shaped object zooming over the plane.
