skiptor   10 #1 Posted September 8, 2010 Does anyone remember the sheffield incident of march 24th 1997?. As a keen metal detectorist along with my friend 'Digger', we have over the past 18 months or so, found around 60 titanium rotor blades along with various stainless steel parts and more which i will reveal later. these have all been found in a place along the flight path of what was described as the sheffield incident? but not anywhere near to where people claim a crash happened. Maybe it never happened?, so with an open mind i ask..what are titanium rotor blades as fitted to jet engines, such as a tornado fighter, doing in an area of woodland in north sheffield? any help please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sarkysod   10 #5 Posted September 8, 2010 I have just done a quick google (other search engines are available) on the term "Sheffield Incident" and the majority of reports suggest the incident being in Dronfield. So what has a North Sheffield woodland got to do with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
skiptor   10 #6 Posted September 8, 2010 not sure why a north sheffield woodland has anything to do with it, but how come we have found titanium rotor blades etc in an area that shouldnt have them? also reports from the time suggest that the ufo?? was spotted from dronfield passing over the area we found, then over towards woodhead?, finally disappearing around the strines area?

RazorSHarp   10 #10 Posted September 9, 2010 Keep us informed of what other items you find. I remember the noise made as the object and planes flew over towards, what I thought was Grenoside area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
