An increaese in the number of UFO sightings in North of England have dubbed the area a UFO hotspot.
Ex-MoD UFO expert Nick Pope stated "at the moment the North of England seems to be having more than its fair share." Some have even dubbed Northern England as the world's leading UFO hotspot, taking the title away from Arizona.
Paul Sinclair, from Osgodby sent in footage to The Sun which shows a strange object flying in the sky. Mr Sinclair told the newspaper: 'It really looks like a flying saucer. Crowds of people saw it. There's definitely something happening here.

I highly doubt any newspaper would be dribbling drops of disclosure; its too close to actually thinking of someone else other than themselves. The unexplained is always popular because it sparks debate. Every major story in every major newspaper is worded and designed to provoke a response...the main response being to buy the paper. I don't think its birds. They don't keep their shape for this long, they're constantly breaking up and rejoining formation.

At 25 seconds watch the 'ufo' go behind a lamp post and reapear the other side, nothing wrong there i hear you say, but look again. The 'ufo' reapears at a different height/angle to when it started the lamp post crossing so to speak See? Proof of a fold in the fabric of space-time.

Another hoax, there is always gonna be things in the sky, and once again no proof but it gives some people something to yak aabout.

My mind may be playing tricks, but I'm certain this vid actually dates back to the mid-90s... Or something VERY similar was doing the conference rounds then.

There are lots of off shore oil and gas platforms up that way, just a thought?

It's starlings. A "UFO" that change shape? don't think so. http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/275/16a/27516ab2-bc36-4ea4-9e28-9d80c1d48027 I think you're right. Good call!

I agree that the second one could be birds, good call BTW. The first one looks superimposed, somehow. Oh well.

My daughter and her husband luke, the people who filmed the strange objects in the sky on November the 7th. The same people who say they were not birds.None of the above is in anyway meant to suggest that an earthly explanation cannot be found, in most cases explanations for these things are found. If it were simply starlings we could have replicated the mumuration effect on the days after the sighting when we visited the location looking for answers. In fact anyone wanting to do this could do so now and fully put the story to rest. Source: ILF-UFO Sorry to bring this back up but multiple peop... [More]

The Fylingdales early warning radar installation has been in the north of England for many years. A former director of the place once said "They're incredibly powerful, we were even getting reflections off the moon". And when asked about alleged UFO activity in the area he was very open and said "Yes we were always getting phone calls from local farmers to report them, and we saw them ourselves, it was the radar that attracted them" In recent years the old big white radar domes have been replaced by much more powerful pyramid-type structures.

The massive array has 3 sides, giving it almost 360° 'vision'. It is part of the combined efforts of the UK and USA to detect ICBMs. There is also a RADAR station at RAF Staxton Wold, this station is little over a mile away from the 'UFO' sighting near Scarborough. Whenever the is a report of a UFO, if it is indeed some form of craft you can bet that one of these early warning stations has picked it up. Anyway - if you have read my posts in other threads; you'll know I'm not a blind believer - however, I don't think birds are the explanation for this one.
