The truth is out there - and it could be nearer than you think. That is the warning from UFO expert Keith McNulty, who is appealing for information on three UFO sightings in the Keighley area over the last fortnight.

Mr McNulty, co-ordinator of the International UFO Research Network (IUFORN), says once again strange sights have been seen in the skies over bradford and Keighley, a hot-spot for UFO activity.

"We had one sighting last Monday over Skipton at around 9.30pm, then one on Thursday and another just this Tuesday over Lidget Green.

"The most recent one could well have been moving on over to Keighley," says Mr McNulty.

Mr McNulty has video footage of the Skipton sighting and says it is definitely not a plane.

"It was shot by one of our members in Skipton. The ball of light starts off flashing and then it gets bigger, goes down and then it goes from left to right. You can tell it's not an aircraft because it's practically broad daylight on the film," says Mr McNulty.

Last Thursday's sighting also involved a similar ball of light, but Mr McNulty describes Tuesday's UFO as a flying triangle.

"It was seen by a former co-ordinator of IUFORN and he described it as looking like an aeroplane flying backwards. It was at about 12.30am," he says.

Mr McNulty is hoping other people may have seen these sightings, and says the evidence pieced together may be able to help his inquiries.
