Mysterious goings-on in the Filey Triangle

Why an eight-mile stretch of North Yorkshire coastline could prove to be an extra-terrestrial tourist hotspot

Paul Jeeves

THE truth, it seems, is out there – along an eight-mile stretch of North Yorkshire's coastline.

Legions of UFO enthusiasts from across the UK have descended on what has become the nation's prime location to witness strange and other-worldly shapes in the skies between Scarborough and Filey.
They recorded at least 50 sightings of unidentified flying objects last year between the two seaside resorts, which now appear to have an increasing allure for extra-terrestrial visitors.

Since the start of this year, a further 85 sightings have been made and North Yorkshire is now considered the UFO spotting capital of Britain with dozens of other incidents recorded across the county during 2004.

Nationally, the public's fascination with UFOs has dwindled since the mid-1990s pinnacle that coincided with the huge popularity of the US television sci-fi drama The X Files.

1. That's a beautiful part of the world.
If I was an alien and fancied a spot of tourism, the N Yorks Moors National Park and Scarborough would suit me just fine.

2. We used to go to Butlins in Filey
for holidays when I was a kid. Strangely, I can never remember NOTHING about those holidays. Hmmm. :tinfoilhat:

3. That's because Yorkshire is the best county in the U.K.
Even extra-terrestrials know that.

Up the white rose!
