Barnsley UFO reports: four encounters in Yorkshire

Leihan Eerie visits Barnsley in South Yorkshire to recount four reports of unusual encounters in the town and nearby communities. In one account, a man walking home saw an enormous revolving object suspended above the ground. He said a brilliant white beam shone towards him, giving him a tingling sensation before he fled.

On 5 January 1988, a miner riding home on a motorcycle along Huddersfield Road reported seeing a cross-shaped object with illuminated red windows. As it turned above him, he said its underside looked metallic and covered with machinery. On 5 May 1988, a mother and her two children reported an egg-shaped object surrounded by coloured lights that apparently followed their car towards Sheffield.

On 1 October 1992, four schoolboys saw a brilliant egg-shaped light above Gawber Park. The account says it hovered for more than an hour, then departed with a sound likened to a car alarm mixed with a police siren. These are witness reports of unexplained sightings; the video does not independently establish what the objects were.
