REPORTS of unidentfied flying objects in South Cheshire and North Staffordshire have soared over the last 12 months.
|
|
Officials at the Cheshire UFO Studies Centre in Earle Street, Crewe, received 120 calls on their 24-hour hotline-and increase of 20 per cent.

|
MYSTERY
|
|
|
|
Most of the sightings concerned mystery lights in the night sky over the Crewe, Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford areas.
|
|
Investigations by experts from the centre have ruled out 95 per cent of the lights as UFOs-most of them being traced to aircraft or satellites.
|
|
But they are still engaged in a six-month inquiry after two separate callers reported a close encounter with a 35ft "bright object with a glowing centre" which landed in a field near Audlem-and then vanished.
|
|
Centre chairman Mr. Eric Morris said: "most of the people who call us are genuine, and many are worried or frightened by what they have seen.
|
|
|
|
STRANGE
|
|
|
|
"After onquiries with the RAF, the Ministry of Defence, airports and interviewing witnesses, we can explain about 95 per cent of the strange things people see-but there are still the rest which remain a mystery."
|
|
The centre is to launch a magazine recording all its reports of Ufos, its investigations into each incident and conclusions.
