Keep your eyes on the skies
UFO hunters have been urged to keep an eye on the sky after an expert put the district top of the league for close encounters.
New statistics of unexplained phenomena in the air over Britain have been revealed by the former head of the Government's UFO project, and West Yorkshire is top for sightings with 34 in the last 40 years - many above Bradford.
Nick Pope, who worked for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) investigating UFOs, said the number of sightings in the region could be as many as 1,000, with many going unreported.
He said: "The MoD has received more than 10,000 UFO reports since 1950, so when we say West Yorkshire is the top region, we could be talking about hundreds, if not a thousand.
"While we currently have no explanation why certain places in the UK are alien hot spots, as the research reveals, there are areas where mysterious objects are repeatedly witnessed, so people who want to alien-spot should definitely head to Bradford."
He said one of the most frequent reports is of a triangular aircraft which moves from a virtual stand-still to incredibly high speeds in a matter of seconds.
Others have included groupings of lights and spinning discs, again moving through the night sky at high speeds.
This strange phenomenon has been seen by reliable witnesses, including police officers and members of the air forces, he said.
He said: "When an air force officer tells you that he sees fast jets every day and that he has seen something moving several times faster than the jets, it certainly makes you sit up and take notice.
He added: "I investigated two or three sightings each year to see if I could come up with an explanation. Most turned out to be mis-identified aircraft - I know for a fact that aircraft approaching Leeds Bradford Airport have been mistaken for UFOs - but five per cent still turned out to be unexplained, even after being thoroughly investigated."
Russel Callaghan, editor of Yorkshire-based UFO Data magazine, said his interest started after a close encounter in Odsal in the 1980s.
The former bus conductor said: "Me and my driver got to Odsal Top a little bit early, at about quarter to five in the afternoon. We were stood on a wall overlooking the rugby ground, looking towards East Bierley and were stood having a chat.
"But when we looked up our chins just hit our chests. About 1,000 feet up in the air there was a spinning silver disc. There was no sound and no lights, just the disc spinning very fast. We were looking at it for about seven or eight seconds, then it just shot upwards at tremendous speed."
West Yorkshire was named in first place in yesterday's Virgin Media Files.

There have been many sightings in the West Yorks. & East Lancs. area going right back to the 1980's. There's a book called 'The Pennine UFO Mystery" by Jenny Randles. The most famous incidents were probably the Policeman abducted on Ilkley Moor, and another Policeman abducted in Todmorden. The close proximity to Menwith Hill may be something to do with it all. There is an undeniable wealth of information and eye-witness testimony to support the fact that UFO's really do exist, and aliens have been coming here for a very long time. It is my understanding, that they are not just of extra-terrestrial origin, but are inter-dimensional beings. See the Disclosure Project video on Youtube, or at www.disclosureprojec
t.org
also see the Dan Burisch (an Area 51 whistle-blower) videos on Camelot Project:

This is really happening folks! The latest incidents were in Stephenville, Texas in January. There have also been many sightings by reputable witnesses such as airline pilots, like the mile long craft seen over Jersey.

Doctor Steven Greer, a well respected American physician, abandoned a promising & lucrative career in medicine in order to devote his life to investigating the truth of the UFO phenomena. So far he has around 400 witnesses who are prepared to give evidence at a Congressional Hearing. They consist of reputable people, experts in their own field, with nothing to gain and who are risking ridicule , including ex-military personnel, Washington lawyers, airline pilots, flight control/radar operators, etc. Greer started the Disclosure Project to press for a Congressional Hearing and full government disclosure. The Brazilian Government have already released all their UFO information to the public. This will not go away. The truth will have to come out. People who scoff are simply ignorant of the facts, and haven't bothered to investigate the evidence. NASA know about it. There have bee many UFO sightings associated with the Space Shuttle flights. UFO's have even prevented nuclear missiles from being launched, mysteriously rendering the equipment unusable. The sightings will definitely increase as we approach 2012, I'm certain.

The evidence is there for all to study, but ignorance is bliss.

The date is spot on, the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar - amazingly accurate. That date marks the end of the current 26,000 year Precessional cycle, when the Earth will be aligned to the Galactic Centre. This is when Pole-Shift occurs, which has happened before. The North Pole used to be situated over Hudson Bay. Anatarctica used to be 200 miles further from the present Pole and wasn't covered in ice. this is how Ice Ages occur. Pole Shift also equated to Consciousness Shift. We are about to enter a new paradigm of Reality. Prepare!
