Sighting Haverdale West Lutton 1990
I live in north yorkshire not too far away from many of the reported sightings on ILF. Here is a story of my own. One night in the summer of 1990 ish i was with a girlfriend at a place called haverdale near west lutton. My then girlfriend said to me look at that in the sky, i looked up and saw this thing with 4 lights on it hung motionless in the sky. It was sunny but i could still see the lights alternating from one to the another.
I then heard a jet engine, looking round i saw an RAF tornado jet screaming away from the object. The UFO then made a 90 degree turn???? the next day the yorkshire evening press had reports of a sighting over the blue ball pub in malton and another sighting in langtoft....and the RAF said in the paper they had no jets flying that night????????cover up me thinks.
Paul i wish i could tell you a little more about my sighting but it was roughly 16 years ago, to get a exact date you would have to go through the yorkshire evening press archives cos they printed an article the following day...as for the weather it was a hot summers night . The wolds seem to be a magnet to this sort of thing i think judging by the other accounts on your web site ...
Large halogen sized lights seen hanging in sky bye 4 separate witnesses Monday 25 of May. Time 12.20am approx. Witness names and addresses are available to anyone wanting to question the credibility of this sighting. It was a star filled night when Alan noticed the large glowing white ball of light from his kitchen window. He opened his back door and stood a few moments watching in amazement. Moments later he shouted his wife to come and look. Her first reaction was that it was the police helicopter with its search light on. Alan told me it was about the same size except that this object was totally silent and quite close. After a few minuets the light moved to the right and gathered pace. He thinks its direction of travel would have been Scarborough road area over to grindale. At the same time the object was being observed by a couple and there teenaged daughter from the back garden of there home in st. Johns avenue. There description is the same except they saw two large silent lights.
I have contacted the local Bridlington free press and passed on the contact numbers. Weather the paper feels it is worthy of news remains to be seen. I did contact the Driffield paper about the sighting reported by a couple the previous week but they never followed up the story.
I feel that telling the plain facts as they are told to me is not enough.
More on the driffield sightings added 9.6.09
The object was at least 20m in diameter if not more also it did appear if it was on fire therefore I also presumed that it was a Chinese lantern at first, until it took manoeuvres opposite to the wind direction thus not been carried by the wind; but rather a mechanical device I would like to assume .
In addition the flight path was identical appearing in a north to south direction the anomaly appeared a second time this time coming from the same direction but with a lower altitude it seemed to glide much slower over my mothers back garden the second time round, the pictures on your main web page of a glowing red UFO are scarily similar to that of what we all encountered I can get statements from the other witnesses if it would be any further help in the validity of this case.
Furthermore it was bright orangey red that glided and didn’t make a sound 5 out of the seven witnesses believe that it was a craft of some sort the others who may I add, had considerably more to drink at this point than the rest of us; did believe that it was nothing that couldn’t be explained. When I harassed them for there individual accounts separately not one person could explain it to me in logical terms.
One thing i did notice was that the first time it passed it seemed to climb in altitude at considerable speed and then disappear, the second time it passed coming from the same direction it seemed to fly over the neighbours house where it lost altitude and slowly submersed itself below the other side of the neighbours house, so i went out of my mothers front door on Wansford rd to see if this UFO was still there it had disappeared completely.
If you ever need any help with investigations would be more than happy to help any other relevant data you require please don’t hesitate to ask, Keep the good work going.
More ufos Driffield 19.5.06
I Live in Driffield and on the night of 19/05/09 me and my partner went to my mothers house for a BBQ at approximately 10.30 me my partner and 7 other witnesses saw this spherical shaped craft glide silently over my mothers house and shoot off into the abyss, after the lengthy debate about what it could of been; the Craft returned but this time passed over the garden and then seemed to travel upwards until it suddenly disappeared. It is interesting that a couple saw this at River Head as i was on Wansford Rd approx 500m away from RiverHead.
This UFO was round in shape with a red glow to it at first as it became directly above us it had a hole in the middle of it with a very bright white dot.
If there is any more info would love to know

Very Large ufo seen river side Driffield 16.5.09
Had an interesting telephone conversation today 19.5.09 from a couple who both witnesses a ufo of huge size over driffield on 16.5.09 saturday night? They say the object which was spherical appeared low in the sky about 10.30pm. They think the location that it was hovering above was riverside close to the mast. I need to clarify what mast this is. The weather conditions were very wet and windy and this object was steady. It was deep red in colour and appeared to be on fire within itself. My immediate thought was a Chinese lantern but the couple dismissed that saying it was of huge proportions. I next suggested a hot air balloon. They say it was nothing like a hot air balloon. I have to say i find it hard to believe a hot air balloon would be in the air at 10.30pm in those weather conditions.
When they pulled up and got out of the car to get a better look the object rose to cloud height hovered a few seconds then shot up vertical at incredible speed. Its light could be seen flashing through the clouds. I have contacted the driffield times but have not had a reply so far. It will be interesting to hear if any more sightings come to light. An object of this size must have been seen by others in the area. Regards Paul
Hedge Lights
A few weeks ago I was talking to Steve Ashbridge and good friend of mind who has spent countless hours with me on the East Yorkshire wolds hoping to get a glimpse of the light forms. It was during that conversation that Steve reminded me about the hedge lights.
A few years ago UFO activity on the wolds was so frequent that this part of the phenomena was placed on the back burner. One of the first locations that we observed the light forms was from the cross roads of langtoft, octon, butterwick and the long straight road that took you to Sledmere.
It was on the Sledmere road that we observed the hedge lights.
The only house on that road was a farm that was set back from the road about 500 yards, the distance from the cross roads to the horizon was about a mile of road with nothing else in between.
It was while waiting at the cross roads hoping to see the wolds light forms that the hedge lights would appear, Steve saw them first one night early in 2008. The road has a hawthorn hedge of varying heights along its entire length on the right hand side; we would park on the Butterwick road, just off the main road at the other side of the hedge looking out onto fields and the farm far in the distance.
I remember Steve pointing to lights low down in the hedgerow white and red about half a mile away. He said he thought it was someone on a bike coming up the road towards us. I had to agree, now on reflection we know it could not have been. We were looking at a white that if it had been a bike would have been the front light and red light, how could we have seen the back of the bike? We both walked out to the main road and waited; no light appeared it simply vanished.
That same night a light slowly moved through the hawthorns like it was looking for something the odd thing was that it did not illuminate anything around it.
We were seeing this at the same time that we were observing the UFOs, the light forms were so exciting to view that we lost sight of how important these hedge lights might have been.
I now think that this was perhaps the closest thing to contact with the objects that we got. At times over the months these lights were within 30 feet of us. Pale white lights that moved slow and deliberate thought the trees.
I regret not making more of these objects; Steve was far more enthusiastic as I remember.
Many times we would jump into the car and drive down the main road at walking pace trying to find a source for the lights, as with all such sightings there was no logic to how or why they appeared. The only thing we know for sure is that they were always around when we were observing the light forms. I have to be clear here and tell the reader that the main reason that the light forms took priority over the [hedge lights] was because they were so large and intense. When an object suddenly appears in the sky and hangs around for a while you tend to forget about things less illuminated. Anyone viewing the wolds footage can get an idea of this.
The objects we were there to observe were always very bright and sharp, colours ranging from white to intense red with all the variations in-between. However the hedge lights were pale in comparison. On a few occasions we saw small red ones and my daughter once saw a blue one over the top of the corn. That was during our first summer filming the objects.
There is also a man who lives a few miles away who has a camcorder set up day and night, the cam looks over the countryside with an unrestricted view as far as the Sledmere road. Some of his footage is very interesting and many of the clips show the objects around this area. He has spent many hours observing these light forms. His footage shows all aspects of the phenomena. Because he films day and night there can be no argument that the objects filmed are not above the ground. At times cars can be seen entering the frame left or right and there journey on the road below is also tracked. It is interesting to note that on most occasions the UFO vanish and reappear when the vehicle has gone.
So what are the hedge lights? They do appear to be interested in something around this area of theWolds. I don’t think for one second that they are military or man made. We have noted that helicopter and plane activity increases after they appear. But nothing man made could simply appear out of thin air like these things do.
The hedge lights are so odd; we would see them slowly moving under the trees, one side of the hedge then the other. Steve has actually gone out over the field on a few occasions and like ghosts they vanish as he arrives at the point where they were.
That to me implies some sort of intelligence on there part. Although it is hard to conceive that they may view us as intelligence. I think we may have been more of a curiosity.
When you think about it how could we interact with a much higher level of intelligence, or on the opposite end of the scale a much lower? We have to assume that what ever we are dealing with dose not think the same way that we do. In fact the word think I feel is the wrong word to use. These objects operate on another level, it is obvious that if we knew what we were looking at we would have some kind of understanding of them. Simple answer is we don’t.
To the reader who thinks we are talking rubbish please be aware that we are not basing our assumptions on faith alone. We have seen these objects up close, our proof was shown to us. Sceptics with your heads so far up the arse of science and scientific understanding should consider the possibility that human understanding dose not have all the answers.
I hope that in 2012 I am able to obtain footage of the hedge lights, sightings on theWoldsseem to have dropped but our enthusiasm has not.
WILLY HOWE
legend of
willy howe, back in the 15th century a canon from the augustinian monastery at bridlington was returning on horseback after visiting kirkham abbey , the day drew dark and he stopped at the howe for a rest ,when he heard music coming from the howe on ivestigation ,he saw a group of faries - goblins drinking and dancing inside the howe, he was overcome with the bright light , music and chanting . he felt himself been drawn down, down and down inside the howe . a very beautiful creature offered him her arm and gave him a drink from a golden horn . he was just about to drink has he was parched, when he heard his mount whinny in alarm . turning around he saw the faries-goblins where trying to capture his horse . still holding the golden horn he returned to the surface and beat off the attackers . he mounted his horse having recovered his senses but they poured out of the howe in pursuit, somehow he managed to jump over a stream still holding the horn . the faries-goblins couldnt cross over running water so he esaped. today the horn is in york minster, the stream is still there [ the gypsey race ] and there is written avidence that a canno at bridlington was called brother john willy [ or wylie] hence the howe is named after him as willy howe

More on WILLY HOWE
The fullest English version of the ‘stolen fairy cup’ legend is localized at Willy Howe, a large round barrow near Wold Newton in Humberside (formerly East Yorkshire); it was recorded as a real event by William of Nwebururgh (died c.1198), who had been born nearby and had known about it since childhood. A village man, riding home late one night and rather drunk, heard singing and laughter coming from the mound; then he saw an open door, and people feasting inside. When a servant came out and offered him a cup, ‘he wisely forebore to drink, but, pouring out the contents, and retaining the vessel, he quickly departed,’ pursued by the furious guests.
It was a vessel of an unknown material, unusual colour, and strange form. It was offered as a great present to Henry the Elder, King of England, and then handed over to the Queen's brother, David, King of Scotland, and deposited for many years among the treasures of his kingdom; and, a few years since, as we have heard from authentic relation, it was given up by William, king of the Scots, to Henry the Second, on his desiring to see it. (Trans. Joseph Stevenson (1856/1996), 438)
Clearly, the cup was real, even though the tale is an international legend. Gervasee of Tilbury knew a similar story about a mound in the Forest of Dean where thirsty travellers were offered drink in a jewelled horn ‘such as was used among the old English’, by a silent servant; eventually, a knight stole the horn and gave it to Robert, Earl of Gloucester, who then gave it to Henry I (Westwood, 1985: 25-6, 350-2).
There is yet a third version allegedly attached to Rillaton Barrow in Cornwall, and purporting to explain a prehistoric gold goblet found there (now in the British Museum, after having been used by George V as a shaving mug). However, the goblet was found in 1837 and the story first appeared in 1899 in A Book of the West: Cornwall by the Revd Sabine Baring-Gould, who was familiar with medieval material; its authenticity is more than dubious.
Stories of fairy treasure continued to be told about Willy Howe. A man once found a chest of gold there, so heavy that it took a train of horses a quarter of a mile long to drag it out, but lost it at the last minute by blasphemously exclaiming, ‘Whether God's will or not, we'll have this ark’. Another man used to find a guinea on the mound every morning, left for him by fairies, but boasted of the gifts, after which they ceased (Hone, 1827: 92).

WOLD Newton
A huge Meteorite (the second largest recorded in England) fell to earth a few hundred yards away on the South-western side of the village .
This event occurred on 13th December 1795 at 3pm.
An obelisk is erected on the exact spot.
The bulk of the meteorite is now kept at the Natural History museum in London.
INTERESTING STORY ABOUT KILNHAM
Well, a few days ago I was speaking with my friend's mum about paranormal stuff. She told me about this road she travels down in her car to and from work. There were two seperate occassions that something strange has happened on this road:
1) She had just picked up her son and was on her way home, she travelled down the road and she said to her son, "I think we've taken a wrong turn." She told me that the road was dirt/gravel and there was a wooden sign post with "Kilham" engraved into it... as she travelled further down, the dirt/gravel turned to tarmac...
She travels the same way to and from work everyday, and has done for the last five years or so.
2) The same thing happened to her but she looked up as she was driving and saw an airplane flying very low in the air. I can't remember if she said "it didn't have any wings" or "I couldn't hear it's engines" but anyway, she then saw it crash into a field.
She was quite confused because there was no mention of a plane crash on the news. But, she asked her elderly neighbour about it and he said that a plane crashed into a field during World War II in that location!
I know this may sound strange, but she would not lie about such a thing. She told my mum about it too, and they're very close friends.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you had any experiences similar to this?
I'm going to visit that road sometime to see if anything happens. If you don't know where Kilham is, it's in East Yorkshire, England.
Still have questions? Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you. 07949455941
