A police force has been swamped with 1,805 reports of UFOs and aliens in the last three years, but won’t make the details public after deeming collating them for publication is too costly.
Since 2020, West Yorkshire Police had the staggering number of cases where ‘UFO’, ‘alien’, ‘UAP’ or ‘spaceship’ has appeared on their logs. It works out at 56 a month or more 13 per week, or nearly two per day. The county – which includes Leeds and Bradford – has always been a hotbed for alleged extraterrestrial sightings.
A Freedom of Information request was submitted for details of the reports from January 2020 to August 2023 to be released. But the force said it would cost too much money to do so. It did give one example, which read: “Male caller reports seeing four flashing lights hovering above his property in the street before a female was beamed into the sky.”
