My cat's been doing something similar but more sporadic - she'll just stare at the corner of my living room for ages. Usually around 2-4am. No explanation for it.
Honestly mate, if you're getting genuinely unsettled, just light some candles, play some lo-fi beats, and embrace the season rather than fighting it.
Because admitting an unknown craft landed at a British RAF base with American nuclear weapons would cause absolute pandemonium. Nuclear deterrent is built on certainty and control.

The MoD could be doing this for a hundred boring reasons - budget review, staff turnover requiring files to be reorganized, legal discovery for a FOIA case, or just routine archival work.
Don't listen to the skeptics - weird things do exist in wild areas. I had a strange encounter near Pen-y-ghent about ten years ago.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for being honest about the context. The Pendle area specifically has reports of Spring-Heeled Jack-type entities dating back to the 1800s, plus more recent cryptid...
