A FLOCKTON man was so concerned about last weekend’s UFO sightings he rang the police and the Ministry of Defence.
Businessman Mike Goring said: “I saw first three lights and then two after that.
“I’m aware of Chinese lanterns, but what concerns me is they flew across the flight paths for Manchester and Leeds. The lights look co-ordinated and what’s shocking is they stopped and started.”
Helen Bamforth from Meltham said the lights were so bright they had woken her up.
Claire Norman from Crimble sent in a photo and said: “We spotted this over Slaithwaite about a month ago, it came directly over our house in a straight flight path, from the Hill Top area. What was unusual was that it happened a fortnight before and the object took exactly the same path through the sky.
Diana Jordan from Cowlersley said she saw a similarly strange phenomenon a few months ago.
She said: “I saw an amber oval light move across the top of the hill at a slow but steady pace until it stopped by the tree right ahead of me and then to my astonishment it broke up into several smaller lights, but still oval shaped.”
