When Flying Saucers Attack!

[Lord Lucan]

The NEW investigation report for Hull New Theatre is on the Ghosttrackers website, www.ghosttrackers.co.uk/page6.html

Mike, having had an avid and personal interest in the paranormal since I was a child, I just have to say what a great website you have there! I've just spent some time reading through your investigations, bookmarked it and will return for more when time allows.
It's great to see a site presented in a thorough and interesting manner without the usual bullsh*t that many paranormal sites seem to thrive on. Great stuff indeed!

[Mike Covell]

Glad you liked it Lord Lucan, and feel free to leave your comments on the guestbook.
It is a labour of love and something we are all very passionate about. It dominates a large part of our lives, but it is something we enjoy, and I hope that it rubs off on other people.

It gets updated all the time, so drop by as much as you want to.

Yesterdays Hull Daily Mail reported that tourists had taken an unusual photo of a man/ghost at the Deep, Hull's most popular tourist attraction.

Within an hour of hearing the news the phone rung so much, we ended up unplugging it. I was asked for an historical overview of the area, and also asked my opinions on the photo.

I will be writing a full reprt soon, and will either post it on here, or post a link to it.

Visiting Pendle Hill this evening, former home of the Pendle Witches, who were captured and sentanced to death by Judge Thomas Covell!!

The girl who took the picture of the ghostly face has been in touch. Lots of newspapers are picking up on her story!

[Celesta]

Congrats, Mike.

Your Mother is very young looking, and what a nice-looking Mom and Son duo.

I was just going to ask how Pendle Hill went, and inquire about how you were feeling, when I saw the post about the contest.

[Mike Covell]

Pendle Hill fell through!! Our lift cancelled at last minute on Tuesday afternoon, so we never got there, but part of group went earlier in the day just to look at possible locations.

It was wet, windy and rained and after visiting the heritage centre and going for a drive, the headed back home!

Healthwise I have been getting a little tired but I have the wife at home this week as her birthday is today. We all look out for each other, as a family should, and I have great parents who ensure I am ok!

In other news, I have been asked to give a talk at a homeless shelter. I will discussing local history and the paranormal with a group of homeless men. It is my time to give something back.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Covell, the saint who puts up with Mike!

All the best Mike.

Ditto from me, Mike. Happy birthday, Susan. It is Susan, isn't it? If not, happy birthday to Ms. Covell

[Mike Covell]

She said thank you, and yes, it is Susan.

We have finally got rid of the kids for the evening, and she has her feet up watching TV! Later we are getting some food, and intend to sit and watch movies all night.

The BIG story this morning is an airliner's near miss with a UFO!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7679145.stm

A passenger jet bound for Heathrow Airport had a near miss with a UFO, Ministry of Defence files reveal.

The captain of the Alitalia airliner shouted "Look out" to his co-pilot at the sight of a brown missile-shaped object shooting past them overhead.

Civil Aviation Authority and military investigations could not explain the 1991 incident near Lydd in Kent.

The unsolved close encounter features in UFO-related military documents made available by the National Archives.

After ruling out the object flying past the Alitalia jet being a missile, weather balloon or space rocket, the MoD closed the inquiry.

Nineteen files covering sightings between 1986 and 1992 are being made available online.

Almost 200 such files will be made available by the MoD over the next four years.

The current batch also include a US Air Force pilot's account of being ordered to shoot down a UFO that appeared on his radar while he flew over East Anglia.

There is also an MoD request that army and navy helicopters not take photographs of crop circles, because of concerns about undermining the official line that the military did not investigate unexplained phenomena.

And the files also contain a letter from a woman claiming to be from the Sirius system who said her spacecraft - also containing two "Spectrans" with "Mr Spock ears" - crashed in Britain during World War II.

UFO expert and journalism lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, Dr David Clarke, said the documents would shed new light on relatively little-known sightings.

He said some conspiracy theorists would already have decided that the release of the papers was a "whitewash".

He added: "Because the subject is bedevilled by charlatans and lunatics, it is career suicide to have your name associated with UFOs, which is a real pity.

"The National Archives are doing a fantastic job here. Everyone brings their own interpretation.

"Now you can look at the actual primary material - the stuff coming into the MoD every day - and make your own mind up."
