Full Description & Details

LOCATION

Burton Bank, lies a mile east of Barnsley town centre. Both Burton Bank and the town lie on opposite sides of the Dearne Valley; at the bottom runs the River Dearne.

TIME

Very late afternoon.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

It was unique. The sun had set to the west and was causing a sliver lining to dark clouds. The cloud was deep and very high. Barnsley is under the flight path of Manchester Airport (35 miles away) Aircraft fly over the town at about 20,000 feet.

Barnsley town centre from Burton Bank has a striking town profile. ......St Pauls dome, St Mary's Church, the Town Hall, Barnsley general Hospital and John Rideal House.

These buildings were sharply silhouetted against the clouds. The silver lining and the sun's rays shining above made a breathtaking view.

UFO

As I rested and watched the view, a massive disc spun out of the clouds, broke the silver lining and arced round in the sun's rays before moving back into the cloud. The UFO 'wobbled' , and in so doing, it caught the sun's rays. Fantastic sight.

Given the height of the clouds, I should say the UFO was over the southern Pennines on the A628 Woodhead Pass road that links Barnsley with Manchester. (This road runs east-west).
