That was a £180 mistake I only needed to make once.Ha, I made the same mistake with a thermal imaging camera attachment that cost considerably more than that.

With respect, I think you're doing what this community sometimes does with interesting historical mysteries, which is reach for the most exotic explanation rather than the most probable one.
Classic case, mate, and you're not the first person to bring it up here. The "impossible storm" detail is the bit that always gets me too.
Welcome to the forum Pete. Don't let the occasional sceptic get you down - we've got a good mix here and the debates are usually more entertaining than heated.
Can you say more about the Ilkley Moor area specifically? I know there's a bit of history there - the Philip Spencer photograph from 1987 and so on - and I've been thinking about doing a dedicated...

Brilliant write-up, thank you for this. The logging discipline point is one I wish someone had hammered home to me earlier.

I was on the M62 that night, actually, though further east - I came off at junction 27 around quarter past eleven so probably missed this by about half an hour. Wish I'd been later.

I've been meaning to write this up for ages, so here it is. Two years ago I started taking skywatching seriously after a sighting near Ilkley Moor - nothing dramatic, just a light that moved in a...
Right, I've been down a rabbit hole for the past three weeks and I need to talk to someone about this before my wife completely loses patience with me.
Slightly off-topic but has anyone actually visited the National Archives in Kew to look at the physical files?
IT professional here as well (infrastructure, before anyone asks, not software, which I feel matters somehow). You're in good company.

The Scottish Highlands connection is one I've been quietly researching for about two years. There's a cluster of reports - some officially filed, some just local accounts collected by researchers...
Sent you a message - I work with a group that does proper photogrammetric analysis on this kind of footage and we've got software that can do frame-by-frame velocity estimation if you know or can...

Hello and welcome! Fair warning: if you start digging into the Berwyn Mountain incident, make sure you find David Clarke's work on it - he's done the most rigorous analysis and while he arrives at...

Whatever happened in those woods in December 1980, it was not nothing.This is the precise position I landed on after about a year of research, and I think it's actually the intellectually honest...

I'm going to be the boring voice here and say that from the still frames alone it looks like it could reasonably be a Chinese lanternI considered this. Genuinely.
I'll be the voice of mild caution here and say that the gap between "nervous PR memo" and "cover-up of extraterrestrial contact" is still quite a large one.
Welcome Pete. The Cash-Landrum case is one of the most distressing cases in UAP history and I think you're right to bring it up - it tends to get lost between the sexier "lights in the sky" cases...

Welcome! Just a practical note: if you want to look into the history of that specific stretch of line there's a very good book called Haunted London Underground by David Brandon that covers a lot...
Do you have the catalogue references for the digitised ones? I tried searching the National Archives site yesterday and their UAP/UFO filing system is absolutely chaotic - things are spread across...
