i first read the spencer case in a book by Jenny Randels , and his account was [ to paraphrase and simplyfy ]

saw alien EBE

took single photo of EBE

chased EBE across moor

got abducted

was shown certain evidence [ on obstensibly friendly terms ] - which he has recounted

was shown further evidence [ apparently of a distressing nature ] which he has refused to discuss

was returned

now what struck me was that the aliens neither destroyed the camera to eliminate the picture of them , nor allowed more photos to be taken

i offer no commentary either way , beyond - IMHO such actions were " odd "

I'm so glad this topic came up. I live not far from Ilkley and i have been to Ilkley moor quite a few times and i can vouch that there is some really strange stuff going on up there.

When i was about 17 me and a friend took a trip up to Ilkley moor to kill some time while we were out of work. We went nearly to to highest point of the moors, once we got as far as we could without getting lost we realized it would be getting dark soon so we headed back down.

We then took a steady walk down, For those who know Ilkley moor you will know there is like a Cafe thing in the middle of the moors. As we reached this point it was fairly dark.

Both of us entered the cafe to get some drinks and some crisps, As soon as we got in there we had the strangest feeling that the people in this cafe (About 6-8 People) did not want us there. It was when we left this cafe we saw something that to this day still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

What we saw was not from this world as they were just too fast, There were about 4-5 white looking things. I say white because this was due to some bright light that basically made half the trees and everything around this light bright white. This light looks like it was coming from some sort of craft.

Just in front of this light were what i can only describe as what looked like skinny people crouched on there hands and feet running around and behind this bright light at a phenomenal pace. Never believed in anything like this before so i just ran like hell towards the Town center. Just as we were at the bottom of the moors we took a look back and this thing was about a mile and 1/2 from where it was when we first saw it.

I know people have there opinions about my story and how it could be real or could not be real. I have no evidence other than my friends word of mouth. I have nothing to gain by fobbing off some fake story. I will get some pictures off Google earth to show where i saw this strange event.

I am thinking of taking a camping trip to Ilkley more to face my fears, To this day i wish i would have taken a closer look at what ever this thing was even though it scared the life out of me.

Here are some images taken from Google Earth showing the rough path we took and the location of the object we saw.

This Is Not Here, When Did you have this sighting/encounter? I am asking because I had a few weird sightings, during the mid nineties.

I used to live in Keighley, which is just a couple of miles from Ikley. I never went to any of the prehistoric stone circles or carvings, but I did see 4 separate UFOs during the 4 years that I lived there.

The first was a large bright white disc in the autumn of 1995. I would guess that it was about 500 feet in the air. I saw the thing fly past my bedroom skylight window at about 11ish in the night. Size wise, I reckon this thing was about the size of a tennis court, if that is any help.

I only saw the thing for under a second as it flew past my window at extremely high speed, which is pretty impressive as my window was about three foot long. It was so bright that it lit up my room, as soon as I saw it I jumped on my bed to get another look at it, but in the time it took me to get up there it had already gone.

During 1996 I saw two green fire balls on two separate nights in August, one was flying across the sky and streaked from horizon to horizon in a coupe of seconds. I saw the second about two weeks later, weirdly I saw them from the same area of Keighley, but that probably isn't so surprising as it was on the street that I lived. This time the fire ball was identical except this time the thing flew straight upwards into the clouds. I would estimate that it had come from the about a mile from the edge of Keighley in the direction of the town Bingley.

I would guess that these green fireballs were about the size of a small car like a mini.

My last sighting was during the winter of 1996. This time I saw a basket ball sized orange orb. It was a bitterly cold, clear night and I was walking home from my girlfriends house close to midnight. When I got near to the end of her street I saw this thing about ten feet in the air around 10 or 20 yards away. At the start it was lozenge shaped and about the size of a basket ball, as I watched it, I noticed that it was slowly moving away from me. As it moved it seemed to bob up and down as if it was bouncing and as it did it shrank fairly quickly. within a couple of seconds it went from a basket ball sized lozenge to a round tennis ball, to a golf ball and finally to a speck of light until it blinked out of existence.

I have had close encounter experiences my whole life, but these started in Doncaster in South Yorkshire, so I think that my experiences in Keighley were just the continuation my childhood encounters. I never used to see the UFOs until I moved to Keighley and I haven't seen them since I moved away. I don't know whether it is the location or whether it was just coincidence that I happened to be living there when I saw these things.

The craft that landed on Ilkley moor didn't leave, it cloaked itself for maintenance and repair while search parties sought out local intelligence. Note the crewmembers on the flying saucer. The "alien" is actually many aliens assuming (creating) a physical body to assist in transporting their non-physical crewmembers. Prove it for yourself. Download the original photograph (available here) and use your highlighter to gradually darkened the same area i am showing you. The entire hillside is covered in aliens. enjoy.

You might want to compare the ilkley photograph with my avatar, that's me with my "ilkley" type aliens. The truth, take it or leave it, nothing changes either way.........

ive just increased the contrast on this image and something does appear in the top right corner..could be a cloud of course...but it is sort of UFO shaped (in the traditional sense.
