It's not even the sightings themselves that have put this village, which sits at the edge of the Peak District, on the map - what's most surprising is the amount of international attention it has received.

Much of the activity was centered around a two-year period beginning in October 2000 during which there were 19 sightings of unidentified flying objects in the skies over the local area.One sighting in particular made headline news - that of Sharon Rowlands who managed to capture a strange circular object on camera.

So great was the interest in her footage of the phenomenon that a Hollywood producer reportedly purchased it for over $24,000 and even NASA officials got in touch with her because the object she had filmed matched one spotted during the STS-75 Columbia Space Shuttle mission in 1996.

Sightings reported by other locals included an object described as a "ball of fire", the appearance of two bright lights and even a "pink glow, vertically shaped like a shoe box".

No definitive explanation for any of these sightings was ever found.
