I was just wondering if anyone here has seen a UFO flying over Sheffield at any time? There have been reports in the Star about sightings over the years. Remember, UFO means UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object, i.e. something that can't be identified as a satellite or jumbo or something, not necessarily an alien craft. Anyone?

nope, never seen anything that i didnt think could be explained. you?

A Century of Sheffield Saucers By Dr. David Clark can be seen on The Yorkshire UFO Society Website www.yufos.org.uk :wink:

quite interesting, but shame the photos dont load at all

I think this subject has been covered before. The most famous incident is the one which happened on Howden Moor. This website goes into great detail about it:


http://www.mysterymag.com/html/the_howden_moor_incident.html

I think you risk cynicism each time you make a statement regarding this subject. Such usually comes from those suppsedly learned who pretend better judgement but who can never produce unequivocal evidence, but who like to dismiss. I received an email yesterday from the ESA because I asked them what they expect to find on Mars. That they do not need to go so far to find it. Why this assertion? Consider...have you ever thought that beginning with a construct is limiting? I mean, try the question, what is 'life' that cannot be known? This does not presuppose there is that which is not amenable to human sense, (does not exist) merely there is a purposeful distance. What the nature of that purposeful distance is, is an interesting question and by necessity includes further questions, such as what constitutes existence of 'something' that humans can't sense unless it makes itself known? What would be the nature of the compulsion so to do? Now you are in a different domain of held expectation, that which relates to religious belief. Apparently religious notions (expectations) and an 'alien intention' are not compatible in many minds because of the 'something to lose' issue. Consider also that if it could be shown that there is 'alien intention,' vastly different in makeup to humans, so different that nothing of human understanding and expectation did apply, no one would believe you at all. They wouldn't believe you even if you were instrumental in demonstrating it. You can't blame them either. The point is that it's not easy to erase expectation, enter without any presupposition, begin from the standpoint that absolutely anything can be the case. Presuppositions regarding 'aliens' are kind of odd, in that there appears in the media a supposedly logical deduction that existence of 'life' and biology are inextricably linked. That because aliens haven't yet landed in a flying saucer they aint here. You just have to laugh at this. It's giving credence to the idea that aliens would explain themselves using human-made scientific laws.
Lastly, (because no one reads this stuff, I know) >>at what point does conjecture become something else? Something else meaning 'something' that cannot be refuted? After this there begins the really interesting stuff because you have something to be told the other way, rather than a wishful idea and a searching that brings nowt.
This post is too long and eats around the edges of something without coming clean. Huh! : :D

Aliens HAVE landed you only have to look at Blair and Bush to see that :roll:

Also UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, which doesn't automatically mean it is a flying saucer from the planet zog, just something that is unable to be explained at the present time.

Moon Maiden

indeed, if you've ever made a polyfilm hot air balloon and let it fly off in the night sky, then like me, you can be the proud source of ufo stories.

And if the police catch you sending these over the city you will be telling everyone about your police cell stories too :wink:

They haven't caught me yet!

I (and the rest of my family) once saw a ufo going over the hills jus above castleton & winnets pass about 10 years ago. Did a bit of investigating but couldnt identify it with anyone....apparently they have been seen fairly often around that area. You havent been playing with your balloons up that way have you Phanerothyme?????

The Yorkshire UFO Society brought out a magazine called "Project Red Book" here is a free copy for you to read Project Red Book (http://www.ic0440500.ic24.net/yufos_mag.pdf) :thumbsup: Jon

Me and my sister saw what looked to us a UFO, in December 1988 over Rotherham near Junction 33 of the M1.

In short, how it appeared to us was a upside-down cone shaped bright yellow object. We were on a coach travelling towards the roundabout just off junct 33, that leads to Rotherham. It was quite high in the sky above the hillside with the electric pylons.

I have submitted a detailed account of this on the website www.mysterymag.com. It is under 'Your Experiences' and listed under 'Rotherham UFO'.

I once rang up to Radio Hallam late one night about 5 or 6 years ago to tell them of the story. There was a UFO expert or someone like that with the DJ, and he asked if we had looked in the newspaper to see if anyone else had reported it. Foolishly out of nerves of being on the radio, I said yes, but in truth, me and my sister never did. It just didn't cross our minds to, and to be honest, we just didn't think anyone would have seen it, or bother reporting it.

I will never forget the object I saw, and neither will my sister. I have absolutely no idea what it could have been. I'd just love it if someone could say what it was, I wouldn't mind if there was a simple explanation, because then at least it wouldn't be sending my brain mad trying to think.

I would love it, if someone saw this message, who also saw the same thing. I don't know if anyone else saw what I saw, maybe I'll never know. I can still see the object in my head though now, as plain as day. A yellow cone-shape, which was twisting as it moved, and also looked as though it had columns of white lights moving around it in a sequence as well.!

Someone reply please and let me know if you know something, or if you know what it might have been. It would be much appreciated!

Not seen anything myself but have been told that flying pigs were seen over Bramall Lane when Warnock spoke of promotion to the premier league

ive seen 2 what could only be described as ufo's over sheffield and this is the truth .

It was a very clear sky,you could see the stars as plain as anything,the moon was out,a lovely night,i was stood at the back door just gazing into the night when a light appeared,at first it looked like the helicopter coming in from the distance heading in my direction very slowly but there was no sound, as it got closer it got bigger and brighter then just disappeared,very strange,except for 5 minutes or so later from lets say the opposite direction another light appeared moving slowly,this was much closer,it shone very bright and this one just shot straight up into the air and vanished,no sound nothing.

this sighting was over woodhouse,it was an amazing sight.
hope this has answered your question

That sounds exactly like the international space station.

UFO maybe are real cos you see these thins in the sky and think ..... cant be owt else but aliens comming to take over us lol

I've seen this many times over sheffield if the cloud cover is right. The more sensible explanation is the Lazer lights on the roof of some club in town. Sometimes they can be seen for miles reflecting off the clouds. Is it Hanrahans or Uni club or even a pub on West street.

In May 1909 two Chapeltown men told the Sheffield Telegraph they had seen one of these strange cigar-shaped airships, carrying two lights, moving swiftly across the northern part of the city; this was the latest in a series of reports from the Midlands which caused great alarm among local politicians. The 1909 sightings were not generally taken as seriously as those in 1913, however, when Germany's aerial fleet was perceived as being much more of a threat to Britain.

Late in February of that year thousands of people in Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield, Hull and other towns along the East Coast of Yorkshire reported seeing bright moving lights in the sky and a searchlight which many claimed was that of a German airship on a secret reconnaissance mission.

Others claimed the scare had been triggered by jokers sending up balloons with lights attached, or that people had been fooled by the exceptional brilliance of the planet Venus in the evening sky - a very familiar explanation to those of us who chase UFOs today!

Indeed, a writer in the Sheffield Telegraph of 27 February 1913 gave the following account of the airship's visit to the city:

"There was considerable excitement in Sheffield yesterday over a rumour that an airship had been seen passing over the city in an easterly to westerly direction. Several persons called at this office yesterday, some to seek confirmation of the story, others to give us alleged details. As it happens, however, we are able to explain the genesis of the myth; and the real story is exceedingly quaint. On Tuesday evening, three gentlemen were walking sedately along Abbeydale Road when one of them, looking westwards, espied Venus glowing with that peculiar white radiance which just now characterises it ""Ha!' he said, 'the airship.'" Then the trio played an old but always successful jest. They stood looking until others joined them, talking the while in non-committal fashion on airships in general. When a crowd of respectable dimensions had gathered, the original trio slipped away, leaving the new-comers gazing at the glowing planet and reading into its rays all sorts of horrid fancies and tragical possibilities."

"That," concluded the writer, "seems to be the true story of the airship that visited Sheffield on Tuesday night." The airship phobia died down by the beginning of March 1913 but the sightings were never fully explained and alarmed the Government of the day so much that it introduced the first bill restricting foreign aircraft from flying over Britain, and led to the very first questions being asked in Parliament about UFOs, answered by Winston Churchill! In reality, the first Zeppelin airship did not reach Yorkshire until 1916, when an air-raid on Sheffield's East End steelworks resulted in the deaths of a dozen innocent people in Attercliffe. Whatever the phantom airship was- it remains "unidentified."

Another outbreak of sightings occurred in Sheffield in 1926 when dozens of people rang the local papers to report seeing a strange "Meteor" in the sky. One report in the Sheffield Telegraph of Monday, September 6, 1926, described how at 9.40 the previous night there had been "a vivid purple flash in the sky" which lit up the whole of the city centre "followed after a curiously long interval by a hoarse murmur that might have been thunder." In the Burngreave Road area of Pitsmoor the flash was followed by a loud rumble which rattled windows, and concern that there had been an earth tremor or explosion led people to jam police switchboards across the county.

Later it was established that many other people in Yorkshire had reported the same phenomena, from as far away as Hull, Selby and Darlington, and one suggested theory was that a huge meteor had fallen somewhere in the north of England.

Over the following two days under the headline "The Mystery Light: What our Readers Saw" the Telegraph carried more than a dozen letters from people who had been dazzled by the light and who were looking for an explanation.

One of them, a Mr A. Lewis, of Abbeyfield Road, Sheffield, said he had seen what he described as "a diamond-shaped body, partly luminous" in the sky followed some seconds later by "a prolonged rumbling, as of distant thunder."

Another described it as "torpedo-shaped" and said it disappeared leaving a trail of sparks in the sky and a purple glow.

A spokesman for the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London later told the Press that they had not picked up anything unusual on their photos taken through telescopes that evening. They added: "The reports from the north of England of an explosion suggest that possibly a meteor exploded near the earth."

But was it a meteor? Doubt was cast on this theory by an architect, Arnold Lowcock, from Queen Street in Sheffield, who said he had seen the aerial phenomena whilst at Monsal Head in Derbyshire, and described it as "a globular object of intense illumination" which lit up the countryside in "the most spectacular manner".

He said it appeared stationary for a brief period, then moved slowly before disappearing at speed. In all Mr Lowcock said he watched the UFO for a full six seconds, after which he heard "a dull rumbling noise which sounded like thunder."

Did anyone see a bright light moving over Sheffield on August 18th 2006 when it vanished without a trace? put www, then freewebs.com/sheffield_ufo_group to reply

i think that was the ISS space station you say as i spotted it as well

Did that vanish too? i thought that was in orbit so it didn't move?

naa it circles the world every 90 mins so moves across the sky like a bat out of hell!!!

hehe i bet it hell having a curry up there or getting a pizza delived.....i'm glad you saw the same thing any ideas what it could have been? www dot freewebs.com/sheffield_ufo_group/

Yes, i have seen them, or sometnig. I was six years old and and i remember them like yesterday. my mom and my aunt saw them with me, and still verify that what i recall was true (i would not believe a six year old, but i remember it better than they do).

i saw something strange last year while driving down longline in dore, it was heading towards whirlow, a perfectly round silver ball moving across the sky in a prefectly straignt line, anyone else see it?

I've never seen anything strange other than lights which were later identified as being from a helicopter or something.

I have permission to use Dr David Clarkes article a History of UFO sightings of Sheffield for our magazine in the near future.

Read my UFO sighting "INDEPENDENT WITNESSES SEE UFOs OVER SHEFFIELD"

http://www.haunted-realm.com/submittedufosightings.htm :)

What I would like to know: If the object in 1997 was so well documented and seen by so many, where did it actually originate from?

Surely it would have been seen before it got to Dronfield or is it a case of it just appeared over Dronfield from nowhere and then travelled in the direction of the Strines.

Extremely interesting reading in any case.

..............................

My mum and dad so A transparent triangle but they could see detail's like panels my dad said it looked like predator of the film when he goe's transparent. This sighting was on burngreeve rd at the top where the toll thing is my dad said it was above the car and van hire place and when he so it he said to my mum "can you see anyting" my mum looked and she so it as well so they turned around at the end of abbyfield rd and stopped on burngreeve rd to look and it just went off slowly towards shirecliffe I think he said. That was im sure between 1994-1997 can't be exact on that detail but i'm curious to see if anybody else so anything around then:|

This post is too long and eats around the edges of something without coming clean. Huh! : :D

Alot of text saying very little but i'm sure you knew what you meant ;)

i notice it's your first post so .... Hi :)

no I've done quite a few

no I've done quite a few

i was talking to David Callan it is his/ her first post .I didn't make it clear sorry my fault

o.k it's alright

Anymore storie's anyone

The only flying saucer I saw was in Wetherspoons when some lass threw it at her bloke.

My mum was on her way to work at Fullwood Hospital many years ago now, stood at bus stop...1980's, I always recall a story re; a dark triangular craft cruising over Basegreen Avenue, to this day she's convinced of what she saw. I reckon with my later knowledge on such things it was a stealth fighter on a test run.

Around the same era, I saw a plane with two tales fly over "the cowie" or Birley school playing fields these days. Told my dad and he did'nt believe me, I guess because he was ex RAF, if he'd not seen one then it did'nt exist?

i saw what i thought were 3 hot air balloons over the dog track,then they split up,zooming off at speed in different directions,one coming overhead,twisting like a red arrows aircraft,it was black,triangular in shape,with an orange light on the underside.then it seemed to stand still above me,then shot off again,over foxhill way.that would be between 97-2000,all i remember is it was a saturday night,about 7.30 pm,luckily,other people saw it too,so my sanity didn,t come into question.

I just wondered,my dad reckon's it was 1997 but i'm sure the incident was when I said it was anyway if he's right that coincide's with that incident with sonic boom and a tornado was it. When it was in the star that something had crashed I think you never know it could have been same object weird init

Coming home from the pub one lunchtime in 2007, I remember seeing a strange object in the sky, black and yellow but with what can only be described as white blades spinning overhead. Curiously this was also accompanied by a monotonous whirring sound and the craft seemed to have the strange ability to hover just where it was. After some time it just flew off and disappeared over the horizon.

Never did find out what it was but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else sawe anything similar.

That will have been the John Smiths Smooth Basil.:D

I wrote about my experiences the night and day after the Strines incident on the forum somewhere.
We went for a drive around the Strines and into Castleton the day after the sighting and there were some VERY strange things going on up there.

What have I told you about going to that park on a night??

Y.U.F.O.S was a great group. Its such a shame numbers dwindled. I agree with you YUFOS was a great group :)

anybody else seen anything in sheffield or somwhere else

anybody heard of any incident's in sheffield

I wish they would put more stuff on about ufos since my parent's incident i'm really intrested

The universe is a weird and intresting place

puddinburner it could have been a real ufo you know

What get's me is stupid people that post a joke about this subject,can't they grow up

This is the honest truth and shows how easily we can be confused.
One night probably in the eighties, my son said there are lights in the sky mum. Looked out and there were lights in the sky moving round. Me and son hot foots it to try and find the light source, it was really weird these lights moving round. Couldnt find anything, phoned the police, they had similar reports from all over Sheffield.
They phoned back, turns out it was an American evangalist I think Billy Graham who was on at Bramall Lane, he had brought laser lights with him, we had never seen the like before. But it was amazing how many people were out looking for the light source!

I was just wondering if anyone here has seen a UFO flying over Sheffield at any time? There have been reports in the Star about sightings over the years. Remember, UFO means UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object, i.e. something that can't be identified as a satellite or jumbo or something, not necessarily an alien craft. Anyone?

I've asked the pixis in my garden and they said no we dont believe in them.

I never saw anything but I,along with everyone else in the city, certainly heard something one time.It would have been 1970 or 71,one evening there was a bloody great bang in the sky-definitely not a sonic boom-more like a huge crack.It was reported on the front page of the following morning's Sheffield Telegraph and briefly in the Star but there was never any explanation given.I've often wondered about it.Some sort of secret government experiment maybe?Anybody know 'owt?

Hi

I can just about remember this incident, and recall the boom, and was the first time i had heard the term Sonic Boom used.

I cannot remember the full facts of the incident, but wasnt it put down to some sort of Russian spy plane flying over (dont know where our guys were, as this would have been at the height of the cold war !) which was reported in the Telegraph and Star.

It must have been around 71/72 ish.

Hmmm..that explanation sounds iffy to me. Most Soviet recon flights were carried out by Tupolev TU-95 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95) 'Bear' Long range bombers - a decidedly subsonic aircraft. I don’t *think* I’ve heard of the Russians using supersonic aircraft for flights over British airspace?

Perhaps the boom was caused by a NATO aircraft - perhaps were it shouldn’t be?

For anyone interested in UFO the recently released files held at The National Archives are free to download until the 11th June.

I cant remember the year, must be around 99, but it was the same time that comet was flying over (Hale bopp I think it was).

I remember sitting in my mum's on the phone to my ex, talking about the comet, and looking out the window, when I saw a massively low plane, and remarked about it to the then missus. It was stupidly low, and looked really old.

Next day I was out near Dore up on the top bit heading towards Fox House way, and there were helicopters, police everywhere.

Does anyone remember this? I think it was in the Star too. Wierd though.

Oh and I once saw a silvery ball type thing that I never could explain, hovering before flying off at massive speed, over Totley. Never did know what that was but my brother and I both saw it whilst at work. That was about 10 years back now.

UFOs to me, because I cant identify them, or explain them.

Ive seen lots of things in the sky above Sheffield but the thing that stands out the most was in the late 90s.

I was waiting for the Shuttle to pass over head and as I looked, I saw a little light, as small as a small star.
It was directly above me and it was moving.
It was smaller and dimmer than a satellite and it suddenly zig-zagged and went sort of "Fuzzy".
You know when a plane puts on its air brakes and a sort of Fuzz appears around it? Well it was like that but it was the colour of a star.
The fuzzyness brightened and the zig-zagging became more pronounced and the object speeded up.
The fuzzyness then went and the object flew atraight again and slowly faded into nothing.

The entire maneuver took place in... imagine holding an apple at arms length... well the entire thing took place in a small space like that so it must have been very high.

As Ive said, Ive seen quite a few things in the sky over Sheffield, far more than I see out here in the countryside and Im not far from the East midlands airport and I can usually identify whatever it is I see.

I never found an explanation for that though.

I cant remember the year, must be around 99, but it was the same time that comet was flying over (Hale bopp I think it was).

There was a cult (Heaven's Gate) that said behind Hale Bopp was a UFO coming to collect them.

Found it...

24th March 1997 it was.

Search for ghost plane sheffield march 1997 and there's loads about it. I remember it well.

Apparently UFO's have been seen over Wentworth village near Rotherham, I think there is another life form but not from outer space. I believe in life after death in some way but if you come back in a UFO well thats brilliant all the way from Heaven. I just just there is a Meadowhall in Heaven because I need to shop and wo knows I maybe be able to buy a UFO to visit Sheffield............

24th of March 1997 was the day I moved to Sheffield! :twisted:

Me and my partner were walking to Crosspool via the Crookes Cemetary. When we were walking through the cemetary my partner noticed something in the sky. The object was triangular, rotating slowly and travelling at a slow pace in a dead straight line. It was metallic orange in colour and after a few minutes (where we tried to rationalise what it could be!) it disappeared. This was in May 2008 and a few weeks ago (June 2008) I was having a cigarette out the window in Crookes, when I spotted a smiliar object in the distance. It behaved in a similar matter and disappeared a few moments after I saw it. Has anybody else seen anything similar or have any rational explaination as to what this could be?

Blue Meenies,
Green Meenies,
I've forgotten what a firework is???
:hihi::suspect:

as i left my house in sheffield last nite in the sky were two sets of three bright orange orbs in triangle formation. They appeared out of nowhere and quickily dissapeared, whatever they wher thay were silent. this happened around 20.00 did anyone else experience any sightings?

Have any of you guys seen the documentary called "The Disclosure Project"?
You should watch it. You can find it on google videos. its got all these high officials statements about ufo's, aliens, and otherh secret stuff.

back in the early 1980s myself and about 6 work coleagues working nights in a bakery at crookes in sheffield,we was having a smoke break outside in the van yard where the view overlooked all the way across the valley of sheffield,when one of the lads said whats that,we all looked and way across the other side of the city we saw a very bright light that seemed to be going up and down and from side to side,we all to be honest just stood there laughing at each others comments at what it could be,then after watching it for over 10 mins it suddenly shot off across the valley of sheffield at a very high speed, going out of site behind the houses over walkley before revealing itself once more 3 or 4 sotereys high close to where we worked on school road it was very bright round in shape at 1st then again shot off at high speed seeming to change shape,me and my m8s just looked at each other said wtf and just went back to work rubbing our eyes,also seen other unexplained things in the skies over the years but nothing like the 1 back in the 80s.

UFO's have been around for billions of years, why would they travel millions of light years to this tiny planet, hover about then shoot off? surley by now they would have landed to make themselves known wouldnt they? ill tell you why, because they dont friggin exist. just like ghosts, poltergoose, loch ness monster,demons,fairies etc etc. All made up stories.

What did the light look like exactly? I've seen the same before last year (however in Manchester); if you have seen the big Hilton hotel, I looked up to take a glance at it and then next to it there was a light that moved up and down, side to side very fast then shot off. It was round as well, I couldn't believe my eyes. Different place & different time but it sounds very similar to what I've seen.

Around 2002 in Dronfield I was out camping with Scouts, it was around 3am in the morning when I decided to pop outside of the tent - I looked up and there was a large, bright green object that was stationary then shot across the sky and disappeared. Has anyone ever seen anything similiar?

No. You are all mental.

Billions of planets and solar systems with planets at a simliar distance to there suns as ours = life maybe way behind life on earth maybe thousands of years ahead of us,i for 1 don't give a rats ass to be honest. but maybe 1 day we will find out lol

No. You are all mental.
says ^^ o_O

I've not read all the posts but I definately saw something over the Bolehills back in the 60's. Never did talk about it.

It was just a very bright white in color pulsating.

If there are alien craft, Where do they come from, They would be seen many light years before they even reached earth. Anyone that studies the universe would laugh at some of the alien stories we hear about. Abductions etc. I think some people have far too much imagination and time on their hands. I would rather believe in heaven at the very least the heavens exist, Though whether or not any place in the heavens is inhabited is another arguement. Is there a God. Well we could argue this for ever as these cults have existed for thousands of years just as stories about little green men.
