Cumbria falls off the intergalactic UFO map
“In Cumbria we have gone from 60 UFO sightings in 2003 to 40 in 2004 and none at all this year,” he lamented.
“It means that the number of people keeping their eyes on the skies is greatly diminished. There are only a handful of us now.
“We are a dying breed in this part of the country. I put it down to the end of the X-Files, a lack of military exercises in the area that would produce UFO sightings and a lack of strange phenomena.” Mr Parr has tried to keep the extraterrestrial flame alive. He has three camcorders and whips them out whenever he hears of sightings elsewhere in the country in the hope that the flying saucer in question takes a wrong turn up the M6. But it never does. He doesn’t exactly sell his subject, though. About 90 per cent of sightings, he says, are due to nocturnal military activity.
