MOD LIFTS LID ON DERBYSHIRE'S REAL X-FILES
Derbyshire's real life X-Files have been opened for the first time to reveal more than a dozen UFO sightings across the county.
According to the Ministry of Defence, 14 unexplained sightings in the county have been investigated by the military since 1999, including one reported by a police officer in Derby.
Other sightings include one last year in Derby, when a witness described seeing "a bright, red light" in the sky.
"The light was moving too quickly across the sky to be an aircraft," the witness later told the MoD.
The year before, a witness in Matlock reported seeing a "descending white light" and "rotating beams of light going upwards from the ground".
Another person in Yeldersley, near Ashbourne, reported seeing a "missile-shaped" object, which was "turquoise in colour, metallic and looked reflective, and was the length of an estate car".
Other reports include "four bright lights, plus an outer circle of a round object" spotted in Derby in 2002.
Also in 2002, a witness reported seeing a "large triangle-shaped object, with a large, white light on the front, and, in the centre, a group of four, static, red lights".
Omar Fowler, from the Derby-based Phenomenon Research Association, said that the UFO information from the MOD came as no surprise to him.
He said: "It will be very interesting to see what they've recorded but I doubt they'll be able to tell us anything we don't already know. In that respect, I won't be expecting any surprising findings.
"It is, however, an interesting development that the MoD is publishing what is reported to them."Labels: Ashbourne, Derby, Derbyshire, Matlock, Ministry of Defence, MOD, Omar Fowler, Phenomenon Research Association, UFO, Yeldersley
