Watched that 30 minutes before you posted it. And you're right..most of the UFO spottings were 1967 tapering off towards the end of the 1960s/early 1970s..centred around Werrington/Bentilee/Parkhall (and Hulme?) areas. Maybe Young Offenders from Werrington on home leave.

The two guys at Newchapel Observatory are the two who documented and wrote a book on those events. It was a locally published book and had quite a small amount of copies produced. Can’t find a copy anywhere, even local libraries couldn’t find it last time I tried.

Some Men in Black were at one time rumoured to be going around local shops and libraries finding and destroying all traceable copies of the book in case it revealed stuff that should remain secret.

There used to be a very interesting bloke that worked there whose enthusiasm inspired the kids (and me). Our very own version of Jodrell Bank. (Without the dish)

If you look at ON DUTY SIGHTINGS - The PRUFOS Police database - you can see that in 1969 four independent police officers spotted a V-shape of bright lights over the Werrington area. There are other sightings in the early 1970s in Staffordshire too. Interesting. That’s just reminded me of another story I heard from an ex police officer about an incident near the old ‘listening’ radio station at Cheadle. Not UFO related but very strange all the same... I’ll recount that one later 😉 I'm very interested in this.

HHHHHold up a min.... Bath's back garden June 21st sunny stoke... Shamanics on the lawn, a young Bath holds the Airdale{Goat sheep dog} while snr castrates the beast. I'm calling Bathomet! Polaroids or it didn't happen.... +
I’d ask my father for the pictorial evidence, but he, the stepmother(£@#&her)& the Airedale are all dead. Please tell me this is the only place you can go from UFOs over Bentlee to castrating Airedale’s in less than six Kevin Bacons

Go on then You can’t leave it there. Inquiring minds and all that. Ok, not much of a tale but intriguing all the same. If you know where the old Cheadle listening station was you’ll know the area and road. As a bit of background it’s the late 80’s early 90’s and locals have seen strange shapes in the skies in the weeks preceding this event. The son of one of the officers recounted the event. It’s roughly 3am and two police officers are approaching the end of their shift. They’ve driven up the road from Cheadle, past Les Oakes place and parked in a lay-by in what appears to be an old quarry site, happy to sit there and let the rest of their shift pass by with no hassle. As they empty their flasks of lukewarm tea one of them notices an odd looking gentleman at the entrance of the quarry staring intently at the car. It was hard to describe him at distance but he wore a trilby style hat, pulled low at the front and a long overcoat. Slightly unnerved, he wound down the window and asked, ‘is there a problem sir ? ‘ There was no reply. He just stood there staring from under his hat, directly at the officers. The officer asked again, a little louder this time, thinking he hadn’t been heard. This time the reply came but from behind the car. There, stood another man dressed exactly like the man by the road. ‘ You need to vacate this area immediately ‘ he said. The officer in the passenger seat at this point opened the door to get out but was held in place by the driver who nodded in the general direction of the front of the car where, about 20 or 30 feet away stood a third identical figure. They were now getting extremely worried, this situation was, well, eerie to say the least. The driver pointed out that they were officers of the law and if anyone was to be giving orders it would be them. He also asked for ID and asked for an explanation as to what was going on and who they were. Again the officers were told to leave the area immediately and to speak to their superiors if there was a problem with the instructions. Neither officer had ever encountered a situation like this and as they radioed back to base they noticed more figures on the road and in the quarry area itself. No vehicle was seen or heard at any point. They spoke to their superiors back at the station ( not sure which one) and recounted the situation. The initial response was a promise of immediate assistance but then, as there location was verified there seemed to be a change of mood and whoever they spoke to left for a few minutes to ‘check something out’. A couple of minutes passed by, the officers remained in the car, none of the figures in the dark moved an inch. The radio burst back into life with a now very agitated voice who told the officers to ‘ leave the area as quick as possible and return immediately to the station’. They wound up the windows, started the car and sped off as quick as possible, leaving the figures still almost motionless in the darkness. No explanation was ever given to them as to what was going on and, unusually, there was no request to fill in a incident log or give any sort of statement. Neither of them ever found out what was going on, who they were or anything at all about the whole thing. I’ve no idea either but the whole incident was certainly intriguing.

My father worked there for two years in the mid 1960's, but spent his whole working life after the war working for GCHQ, as it became known. All of the stations were prefixed CSOS (Composite Signals Organisation Station). All employees were signed up, at a very high level, to the official secrets act.
It reminds me of an occurrence in Taunton in the 1970s/80s. At (say) 8pm every night, a loud boom was heard. There was speculation as to what this could be, and scientists from Bristol uni became involved. At first Concorde was to blame (a sonic boom in the Bristol channel). Then scientists proved that it could not possibly be a sonic boom. Then Govt insisted (and my father) that it was a sonic boom from Concorde. My father was so insistent and adamant that I became suspicious.
Anyway on the night that the clocks were altered, Govt came out and said that this would lay the matter to rest. Concorde's schedule was affected by the clock changes - so the boom should be an hour later than normal, The boom was indeed an hour later - for seven nights - but then it went back to the old time. Something like that anyway - memory is fading. Whatever, Govt were intent on getting Concorde to be the cause.
Now. I was working with a lad that attended a "born again" type church. Not a church as such, but just a group of young people. Anyway, he excitedly told me that he and his friends had been up in the Quantocks holding a night time prayer meeting. He told me that at the exact time of the boom, they all saw what looked like a massive fireball going through the sky at tremendous speed. I later mentioned this to my mother, over tea, and that was the end of that. Well until my mother went to get her hair done, when, whilst under the driers, the woman next to her, who lived in the Quantocks, came out with the same story (the fireball).
The probability here is that this is some military, top secret event. Nothing to do with flying saucers from outer space. Whatever it was it went on daily for months and months, if not years. A "patrol" of some sort?
Another unexplained situation with those that worked at those CSOS places was a spate of suicides amongst the workers. Two from Cheadle if I recall correctly and also others from Scarborough, Bude, Taunton and others.

I have often wondered, obviously there is a lead in time with new military aircraft. Loads of UFO sightings came in from Belgium when the US was supposedly testing the stealth bomber over Europe. I love that aircraft and have seen them fly over me a few times (once over The Kennedy Center in DC was surreal and beautiful) If you had never seen one of those before, or from certain angles, I am sure you could believe it was not of this world.
Of course, that doesn’t meant they are NOT being reversed engineered by aliens in Nevada...Or Leek.

The immortal line "Take me to your leader" just doesn't bear thinking about
