- 26 September 1993, Bakewell, Derbyshire -
-
- "At 9 a.m. the activity around the Bakewell/Matlock area increased. One
- witness reported an object in the sky "lit up lit a huge fairground"...it
- was at 9.30 p.m. that further witnesses reported the shape of an
- illuminated triangle flying slowly and low over the town. Mrs Hilda Hill
- drew a sketch of the triangle as it flew overhead "slow moving and silent".
-
- Mrs Susan Shah, who lives on a hill overlooking Matlock Baths, noticed
- bright lights approaching her house. She opened a window to watch as the
- huge triangle passed "slowly and silently" overhead. A Mrs Pailing of
- Bakewell also saw the huge triangle and noticed that it was showing red,
- green and brilliant white lights.
-
- A key witness to the event was a Mr Andrews who happened to be driving in
- the direction of Bakewell at the time. As he approached the town he saw
- bright lights moving slowly and low down in the sky ahead. Then as he
- entered the town, he noticed people lining the side of the road, looking
- up and watching a huge black triangle flying low overhead. "It was lit up
- like a Christmas tree", commented Mr Andrews. "It had a very bright light
- at each corner, so bright that it illuminated the ground below. Suddenly
- he realised that he and the triangle were travelling in the same direction,
- then driving at a steady speed of 40 m.p.h. he slowly overtook it!
-
- The "Flying Triangle" then performed a series of slow "U"-turns and right
- angled turns, before it finally returned to it's original course and moved
- out of sight behind a line of trees".
-
-
- "A number of "Flying Triangles" had also been seen in the Essex, England
- area during November 1993. These included a "massive" (1.5 times the size
- of a soccer field) triangular object seen flying silently along the
- sea-front at Holland-on-Sea, on Sunday 5th November. It had a variety of
- coloured lights underneath with a line of red lights at the back. A number
- of dark "indentations" could be seen on the underside of the object
- including a large black circle at the centre. The estimated speed was 40/45
- m.p.h.
-
- Another large black triangle was observed at 3.25 a.m. on November 18th,
- flying along the sea-front slightly further south, at Clacton-on-Sea. This
- triangle carried a series of red and white lights along the two leading
- edges with, once again, a series of red lights along the back edge.

- Description
- -----------
-
- I was driving down the Winchester Rd towards Andover in the early morning
- in my taxi, when over to my right and in the area of Martins garage I saw
- what I took to be a U.F.O., it was shaped like a triangle and I estimated
- it's size as that of a helicopter. I judged the object to be about 500ft
- above the ground and was just hovering in the air.
-
- I stopped the car and my passenger and I got out to take a better look, we
- stood and watched the object for about 3 mins and then it just vanished in
- the direction of Clatford, we estimated it's size as between 60-80ft and
- with white pulsating lights. I had turned off my engine and we were able
- to hear a low humming noise from the U.F.O.
-
- I have never seen an object like this ever before and could not identify
- it with any earth created craft.

- Description
- -----------
-
- It was early in the morning and we were about to go to bed when my husband
- decided to visit our outside lavatory. When outside I looked to the South
- and noticed several moving lights coming towards me, at first I thought it
- was a plane with it's 'main-beam' lights turned off, flying through some
- mist. As it manoeuvred it revealed it's shape, five orange lights on a matt
- triangular background, I called to my husband "hurry up", he immediately
- sighted it and remarked "My God it must be huge". We then observed it
- together as it travelled silently towards the SE, many stars were visible
- on the night and it seemed to obliterate them from sight as it passed
- overhead, as observed with the naked eye. It travelled at a slow walking
- pace and we observed it for nearly two minutes, before it passed out of
- sight over nearby houses. We then ran quickly upstairs to our living room
- to see if we could still see it, but the glare from street lamps made it
- impossible.

- "On Monday 28th November (1994) there were over 100 phone calls made to
- Colchester Police reporting that a strange craft was hovering at about roof
- height in the district. It was even reported that rush hour traffic was
- slowing down so that the drivers could watch the UFO.
-
- The description that all callers gave was the same:
-
- Nearly 100 ft long and bathed in an orange/red light, triangular in shape
- with three floodlights at the corners.
-
- An eye witness reported to the paper what he had seen:
-
- "I was driving home when I became aware of a sudden burst of light above
- me. I couldn't see what is was for a couple of minutes, but then it moved
- ahead of me and I could clearly see three bright white lights in a triangle
- shape. One of them was flashing every few seconds."
-
- Apparently the craft matched pace with the car he was driving in for
- several (subjective?) minutes after which it shot off at great speed".

- Date: 6th July 1995.
-
- Manchester 'UFO' may have been seen at Penzance
-
- An unidentified flying object, which has had a "close encounter" with a
- passenger airliner approaching Manchester airport may also have been
- sighted south of Penzance.
-
- It is claimed by Penwith UFO Research that the craft was triangular in
- shape and marked out by three large white lights, with a red flashing light
- at the base. This description fits that of an object involved in the
- incident at Manchester. Jet fighter type aircraft were also sighted at the
- same time."
-
- Conventional aircraft, such as Stealth or a tanker have been ruled out by
- investigators.
-
- "The sighting lasted for two minutes but the main craft remained visible
- for up to one minute further." said Jude Colwyn, a member of the UFO
- research team.
-
- Sighting's of the aircraft seem to be coming more frequent and widespread
- with similar reports from other parts of the country and Scotland where the
- craft has been sighted frequently in the Bonnybridge area.

- "Ray and Kathy Procek were driving along the motorway nearby...As they
- approached a viaduct spanning the road they say they saw an object the size
- of a Jumbo Jet, hovering above it. "The back end was elliptical and as we
- passed underneath it we could see it was triangular in shape. There was a
- light at each corner. We passed underneath the viaduct and looking back,
- there sitting on the other side was another craft and it looked like a
- mirror image, the way they were pointing towards each other."

- Nigel O'Sullivan.
-
- UFOs hovering above southport left witnesses stunned this week.
-
- A number of shocked motorists have contacted the visitor to report close
- encounters with the unidentified flying object.
-
- ...One man was driving along Meols Cop Road at about 6pm last Friday when
- he came face to face with a craft hovering over a field.
-
- He said: "This thing was unreal. It was sort of triangle-shaped with a
- white light in each corner and a square green light in the middle. It
- remained motionless for at least 5 minutes. By that time several cars had
- stopped and the drivers and passengers were standing by their cars watching
- in amazement. Suddenly the object started going round the field for a
- minute or two, then it stopped and the lights gathered together. Now, it
- was just one big green light and, without warning, it just flew off."
-
- The Visitor contacted UFO expert Jenny Randles. Ms Randles is editor of
- "Northern UFO" magazine and has been investigating sightings of this
- mysterious triangular object for months. According to Ms Randles, there
- have been many sightings of this "craft" over Morecambe and Scarisbrick in
- recent weeks. She believes it is a secret Stealth aircraft being developed
- by British Aerospace at Warton, near Preston, but the company denies the
- existence of any such plane.

- SO IS THERE SOMEBODY OUT THERE, AFTER ALL?
-
- They've always been dismissed as the fantasies of the soft-minded. But now
- a senior government official has come out and stated publicly: 'I believe
- in extraterrestrials.' MARY GREENE investigates why UFOs are suddenly being
- taken seriously in the corridors of power.
-
- It was a dark, cloudless evening in early January, and British Airways
- Flight 5061 from Milan was over the Pennines, coming in to land at
- Manchester Airport. All was going to schedule. Just another routine
- landing... And then it happened. First Officer Mark Stuart saw the thing
- first and instinctively ducked. A strange wedge-shaped object, illuminated
- like a Christmas tree, flashed soundlessly past the Boeing 737's starboard
- side. Within seconds, it had vanished, but Mark Stuart and his co-pilot
- Captain Roger Wills were in no doubt about what they'd seen.
-
- The two BA pilots, both sober-minded types not given to flights of fancy,
- had just experienced a close encounter with what has become known as the
- Silent Vulcan.
-
- And theirs was by no means the first encounter. Over the past ten years,
- the Silent Vulcan - so-called because its shape resembles the old Vulcan
- bomber - has apparently been stalking the skies over Europe and North
- America. First sighted over the USA in 1983 [Note: There are many reports
- from the mid-1970's - James], there have now been hundreds of reported
- sightings, many of them in the Pennine Corridor which runs from the
- Midlands up to Yorkshire. In 1990 it was spotted in Belgium and, on that
- occasion the Belgian air force scrambled fighter planes in a fruitless
- attempt at interception.
