Those touch screen gloves are never as responsive as they should be. I've found that fingerless mittens that flip back work better - you get warmth most of the time but can flip them back when you...

Loved this book! Randles has such a measured tone compared to some of the more sensationalist UFO writers. If you liked this one, her earlier work on UFOs and the media is equally gripping.
I'm based in Yorkshire so clear nights are rarer than hen's teeth Story of my life, mate. Try the moors near Haworth - I've had some cracking observing sessions up there.

This is ace! I've been lurking for ages waiting for a space to discuss time slip experiences. Can't wait to get involved properly now.

She doesn't just accept the "it was a lighthouse" explanation like some authors do. Mate, c'mon. It was a lighthouse. The book's entertaining but Randles is basically fanfiction at this point.
One thing worth mentioning: make sure you've actually got decent binoculars. The cheap ones lose image quality in cold temperatures and are genuinely useless for proper UAP monitoring.

I'm in Coventry and I've heard stories from mates about seeing something large and cat-like near the outskirts. Never seen it myself but the descriptions match what you're describing.

Nice one. Just don't let it become another place for pseudoscience nonsense. Keep it grounded, yeah?

Thermal camera route is tempting but honestly the image quality under £200 is pretty dodgy. You'll get better results with binoculars and patience.
Hot chocolate instead of tea actually - the sugar helps keep your energy levels up and your metabolism burning, which generates more internal heat.

Brilliant recommendation, thanks! I'm ordering it now. I've always been skeptical about Rendlesham but the way you describe it makes me think I should give it another look.
Definitely worth the trip to Pendle Hill or up towards the Peak District for darker skies. The light pollution maps online are actually quite accurate.
If these are breeding adults, there's got to be at least 3-4 individuals to sustain a population. Actually you'd need more than that for genetic viability, but your point stands.

Right, I've just blown through this over the bank holiday weekend and I've got to say, it's absolutely brilliant.
About time (pun intended). Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this section. I suspect there's way more temporal weirdness happening than we realize.
Brilliant addition! I've got at least four experiences I've been wanting to share that didn't quite fit anywhere else. This is exactly what the forum needed.
This is brilliant documentation actually. The detail about the blurred outline is particularly significant.

Interested in that spreadsheet data you mentioned - would you be willing to share it? I've been keeping my own records and cross-referencing would be useful.
For that budget I'd suggest looking at the Celestron SkySmart binoculars (around £149) paired with a decent tripod.

These sightings are almost certainly escapees from private collections or zoos. There's loads of documentation about big cats that got out over the decades.
