Search is on for UFOs along coast

DAY-TRIPPERS and holiday-makers are being urged to watch for UFOs over the East Coast this summer - and try to capture them on videotape.

The stretch of coast from Whitby to Withernsea has seen a spate of bizarre sightings over recent months.

Filey-based UFO investigator Russ Kellett has now launched a competition for the best UFO footage.

He said: "Along with a number of fellow UFO enthusiasts, we believe the East Coast is arguably the number one UFO 'hot spot' in Britain at this present time."

Evidence of this, he says, is the "huge" amount of UFO footage which he, and others, have recorded of anomalous aerial objects.

He is now hoping that residents, holiday-makers and day-trippers who happen to videotape something similar will get in touch.

Their footage will be entered in a competition, which is running until August 7.

If you think you have captured a UFO on videotape and wish to enter your clip into the competition, telephone Russell Kellett on 07901597743. Send your video to UFO Investigations & Research, PO Box 33, Filey Y014 9YE.

The unusual contest is being supported by Yorkshire-based UFO Magazine, which carries a five-page feature on the East Coast sightings in this month's edition.
