Calling On Folks From North West UK

This may be in the wrong place so MODS please move if you wish.

I have always had a keen interest in UFOs etc and believe i have found an ideal place for a bit of skywatching up near Saddleworth Moor and also not too far from Todmorden which itself has had UFOs reports over the years. The place has no light pollution and has an amazing view on a clear night from right on top of the Moors. Im looking for a few other ATSers in the area who would like to meet up say once a month with a few flasks of tea some digital cameras etc and a warm coat.

Anyone up for this see if we can pick anything strange up

Hey, sounds like a good idea, im in the north west and live about 30 mins from Todmorden.

Didnt know it was known for UFO's, but its worth a night star gazing to see what we can catch.

Hi there yes there is a few weird stories regarding Todmorden and if i remember right one of the main stories from there was reprtorted by a respected police officer. Anyways i feel a good night watch up on hills around Tod and Saddleworth would be good once in a blue moon. Whereabouts you from being only 30 mins from Tod

I live near Blackburn in a little villiage.

Went to Todmorden a few months ago for a few beers...wierd little town.

Never heard of Saddleworth,wheres that?

When you thinking of going?

I only in Bury literally down the road from you. Saddleworth is literally just over other side of Rochdale heading up onto Moors towards Hudds and Halifax. Its infamous for the place were Myra Hindley and that other crank dumped the bodies of the children they murdered (a few of them never to be found) so it can get a little spooky with that alone in your head out there at night

Did you read links above?

Dunno though maybe if we could get a few people maybe start in next few weeks when nights start getting darker

Yeah i read that link, very strange, never heard of that miner before,seems like its a ufo hotspot so its worth a try right.

We will just see how many other people who live near us want to do this then.

How do we know you just won't kill us, if we turn up.

you could be a Hindley copycat

How far is it from Liverpool?

Yes i think it would be worth a try up in Todmorden at least. I know up just outside Todmorden in the Hills there is an observatory so definitely no light pollution if we stuck somewhere near there. There are few people on ATS from the area so hopefully a few will come by this thread soon and we could get say half a dozen up there once or twice a month,

Never really sky watched before but decided rather than sit here on ATS every night it would be good to get out and do some field work. You never know what might pop up

I will be vary happy to attened. I live in Leeds so not to far to travel. I dont have a car at the momemnt but should do so around Oct/Nov, hopefully u will still be having regular meetings then.........

Hi there, Im sure we could meet up regualy. Infact there is a big void of Moors between Manchester and Leeds so your definitely in the right place

Hello im from Halifax.

Let me know when you have dates ect and i will attend.

I am shure something interesting will happen.

Ever hear about the polish man who was found dead on the coal pile with no footprint's leading to his corpse ?

Sure have infact i think it is mentioned in the link above i posted. Being from Halifax your literally down the road from Tod so would be glad if you could join us too the more the merrier

Hey, Good luck with it. I'd join but I'm in Nottingham so it's a little out of my way.

Are there any RAF bases in this area? Just to know whether they could be secret military projects as well as ET.
