I have just seen a large cigar shaped object, red in colour hovering above the shops in Fir Vale . . . has anyone else seen this? It stayed for a few seconds and then flew off at a very fast speed towards Wincobank.

This is not an Aprils Fool - I just want to know if anyone else has spotted this weird thing. It was reddish in colour and humming very loudly!:o

I've just seen what I think you're talking about just over Walkey....wasn't very clear as it was moving pretty quick but it done a few circles about 100ft over the top of my yard and then shot off towards Crookes....

Very freaky, are nasa up to summit again..:help: :help: :help:

It has to be an alien...who on earth would fly fast towards Wincobank :confused: Unless its desperate to score some moon rock.

Me and the missus saw something weird in the sky coming home from The Games tonight- moving very quickly in the sky.. was not a plane though... very weird indeed!

31-03-2005, 22:15
Was it like a glowing red colour? . . and moving unlike an aeroplane? . . it came down quite low before actually speeding off towards Wincobank.
Did anyone else see this tonight - it's quite freaky really!?

I was just thinking yeh yeh what crap, leaned out the window for a smoke and I think I've just seen the same thing. Made me drop me cig doh.

I saw a large red flash that appeared to light up the whole of the night sky. What the hell is it?

Lestat
31-03-2005, 22:20
I saw that flash! just as it went over the hill. It lit up all of the hill, like the sunrise!:o

I can't believe you've posted this!! :o

I've just got back from taking the dog for a walk, I live out towards Stocksbridge, and i've seen the exact same shape over the Crags!

I thought it was just another plane on its way to manchester airport, but then the red lights came on around the underside, and it zipped over the top of the woods, i've never seen anything move like it!

Jeez, glad I had rupert :blush: with me! I nearly cacked mesen!

Lestat
31-03-2005, 22:35
Im sure this will be on the main news tommorrow, as loads of people seem to have seen it - the weird thing is it has been zipping around from place to place in a matter of minutes!

When I was younger I thought I'd seen something like it before but never mentioned it to anyone. I wonder if this is their second trip back - if it's what I'm thinking it is :o :help:

Kristian
31-03-2005, 22:37
OMG! I was just on my way out of the hallway, out into the darkness and I saw the same thing; cigar shaped, red tinge, moving in front of me!

Unfortunately, I'd inadvertently stepped into the bathroom, forgotten to turn the light on, and had a fag in my hand!

You guys, who do you think you're kidding? :suspect:

Now that really is freaky, because when I was a kid, I went to pick my sister up from brownies one night, and I swear to this day I saw a ufo, obviously i've never really mentioned it, but it was weird to say the least, different to this one though, this had a more menacing feel to it, stealth like I guess.

I wonder if its going to be hushed up or actually get on the news?

i'm actually shaking now, nothing ever happens round here! lol

Theres been too many sightings Kristian for it not to be real. I saw it with my own eyes hovering in the sky before jetting off at super speed.

i was just on the phone to me mate when she told me look out of the window towards the genral hospital.

and i was just about to come on and post about this and was shocked that a few of you seen it too.so freeky this is

It was about 10 minutes since I saw it, just as I was getting back, it went over the crags towards grenoside/parson cross way

PMSL! I know kristian, I was wondering if it was worth mentioning the ufo after the other stories . . . obviously, I wasn't the only one.

The weird thing is now though, everytime I think I hear a slow humming noise, I run to the window to look.

I hope someones got photo's of it, bound to be after all the sightings.

beansforyou
31-03-2005, 22:53
well I didn't get any, it was just a matter of seconds, I wouldn't have had time to get my phone out to take em even if i'd thought about it.

It might be worth contacting the Northern General or something, if theres been sightings near there, there will be quite alot of people around that area who may have seen it also surely?

31-03-2005, 23:00
Does anyone think it might be aliens? . . . It's the strangest thing I've seen in years. The humming noise it makes is quite hypnotic and when you look up and see the red glow you can't do anything but stare until it flies off and then it go's all deathly silent.

Very frightening.

BoroughGal
31-03-2005, 23:06
I remember the first time I ever saw those laser lights that they shone into the sky, when Don Valley first opened. I have never sh*t myself as much! I honestly HONESTLY thought it was a UFO, and when my mate started curiously walking towards it, I thought she's been brought under their power!

My, how I look back and laugh now!

I'm SO cheesed off I've missed this tonight. Mind, it could still all be an elaborate April Fools joke....?

beansforyou
31-03-2005, 23:06
I couldn't really hear anything over the dog barking to be honest, he went a bit doolally to say the least, they pick up on these things though, he's awlays very defensive when out with me at night.

It certainly wasn't anything i'd seen before, and i've been to alot of RAF shows etc, and they don't tend to fly any experimental crafts out here

I heard a few years back that some people had seen something similar up on the Heliport at the top of the ski slopes.

They were out walking their dog and saw a glowing behind some trees but their dog ran off and when they came back there was nothing there!!

BrainThrust
31-03-2005, 23:13
thank god for the search forum function! I though i had gone mad!

I just heard this humming over my house just past Chapeltown heading north. I looked out the window to see my entire street be light up by a red glow, it pulsed once ot twice then the humm ing began again.

it was only then i thought to look up, as somehting blurred bast my sight flying low above me out across towards wentworth, the red light pulsing every so often bright enough i could see th efield below it.

Anyone else seen it heading north? I gotta go get a drink.

Can't believe I didn't walk across to the other sid eof my room and grab my camera, i was so trnasfixed by it!

Wheres the bloody vodka!

Perhaps there is a rational explanation:

Could it be a blimp? (you know a small airship). They are often used for filming sports events, perhaps it had been doing this for some track events at Don Valley for "The Games"?

It therefore would have moved slowly unlike a conventional aircraft and may well have had some low level lighting across its sides. Perhaps on its way back to whereever it is based.

The "humming" noise some people reported would have been the relatively small externally mounted engine fans.

Seems to add up!

I've just been up to the top of the hill in Arbourthorne. There's low cloud, but rain has now stopped. No sighting of cigar shaped UFO. If BoroughGal is still at work - did you see me waving to you? Or did you miss that as well?

Sorry for my absence BoroughGal. Bet you wondered where I got to? You'll never believe this, but I went outside to explore - and was kidnapped by aliens. They had heads like prawns, and smelt of cockles and garlic bread. I was taken away in their alien craft, but I could clearly see through the glass floor that we were zipping about over Meersbrook.

I ask you all to believe me, just like me mate royjames believes that the council is going to spend thousands of pounds on a statute to a local politican. Believe me, believe me, they're both true! :heyhey:

Sorry to disappoint folks. The airforce at RAF Scampwell, Lincs is testing new weather drone. This is being tested over numerous cities and towns to test for cumulonimbus (CB's) clouds at lower levels. These types of clouds can be very dangerous to aviation, ie thunderstorms / windsheer and have started developing at lower levels due to global warming.

There are about 50 of these unmanned drones operating nationwide and are all NOTAMed (official warning to airmen bulletin) so there are no UFO's today apparently.

Lestat
01-04-2005, 09:38
So Licolnshire drones are hovering just hundreds of feet above Sheffield!? BTW this didn't look like a drone at all, the way it was moving it looked like it was being manned and do drones normally fly at such speed so accurately in different directions??

If it was - as you say 'a Drone' then it will have collected all the information Lincs needs for South yorkshire in a few hours!

Unfortunatley your claim of an april fools joke is not valid since your orignial post was: 31/3/05 @ 10:56PM.

The rules of April Fools jokes are quite clear - it has to be done on April 1st! Otherwise it would be called "March 31st fools day"?

We had to do it a little before midnight otherwise it would not be that believable & anyway, so what if we broke with tradition this once - it was worth it!!

Do I sense a fooling took place Avalon???:hihi:

I listened and listened to radio four
convinced that Sheffield would finally score
The Forum its-self would get a mention
UFO's spotted without contention,
I scowered the Times from front to back
UFO's over Sheffield, surely a fact.
And now I find it's all a con
April the first has been and gone.

Some of you will no doubt have noticed that my name was absent from this silly little thread:( I of course could see immediately that it was nothing more than an early attempt at an April fools joke, and could see no point in contributing to such a childish piece of humour

ho ho ho green giant.

I'm going to play a more elaborate April fool than that. I'm gonna carry out such a hoax on say, September 16th, thus fooling everyone a good 7.5 months in advance. That's the kinda cheeky fastcat I am.

This was really a March fool wasn't it? Or would UFOs only come out in drakness so it had to be done in March? I think not.

....I'm only bitter cos I fell for it :-s

Have I got news for you lot!

I have spent the last hour enhancing Lestat's photo, and I think I now know why a certain member didn't post on this thread last night.

Be afraid...be VERY afraid.:o

Cool, I didn't really read too much about it, just a came up on a random search. I didn't remember anything about it to be fair, wondering if anyone else did.

Now, lets all concentrate on finding the sunshine!!!

Seriously. Everyone look out towards the north star, just above Wincobank hill, on the east side, there is a floating object now!

In it, I have seen two figures. One looks like Dracula, the other, I'm positive, is Michael Jackson with his rhinestoned glove waving to us mere mortals below.

Check this out now before you miss it! Seriously.

As the Commander of the UFO most of you saw, may I reassure you that my crew and I mean you no harm. We have travelled many light years and have instructions to find, capture and examine Barmpots. We came down among you and stayed a while, hoping to catch one or two of you on your own, but alas our quest was useless. It is, however, obvious that Sheffield has a higher percentage of Barmpots than any other city, so I will be back. Watch for me at your peril! We can spot Barmpots miles away — even those disguised as Forum Posters.

It has to be an alien...who on earth would fly fast towards Wincobank :confused: Unless its desperate to score some moon rock.



If there heading this way (Wincobank) then my guess is they'll be illegal aliens.
