Staxton Wold, December 4, 2008-From a vantage point some 3 miles from station we parked up and sat patiently. We were hoping to see an object that had been reported to me over the previous few weeks.

It was a very dark, cold night. Unlike the weather we had left behind in Bridlington earlier in the evening. I have found that checking the weather forecast to see if it's worth venturing out does not apply to the Yorkshire wolds.

With the front of the vehicle facing in the direction of Sledmere and Malton we waited, our odd behavior late at night causing a little supposition from the very few cars that slowed as they passed by. And who could blame them.

At around 10.45 PM, a faint, gold light appeared to the far right of us, growing in size until it came to a stop about where you see it on the film. We managed to film it one more time at around 12.10 AM.

On each occasion, the object appeared to turn deep red and disappeared in an upward curve. Something that is not as evident on the lower quality footage sent to the UFO Casebook. But if it is broken down frame by frame it may be possible to see.

It is not possible to say at what height the object was from 3 miles away. But, if you look at the yellow lights to the right hand side on the footage and the tall centre light which is red, that is RAF Staxton Wold, claimed to be the oldest radar facility in the world.

Today, it still forms a key part of the UK's airspace defence network. It is clearly around the same height as the tall mast. I make no claims as to knowing what this object may have been. It has now been seen on numerous occasions by 3 independent witnesses at much closer quarters. The conversations I have had with these people are very interesting, but until I have footage to back up such claims it must be put aside.

Regards,

Paul
