The Pennine Hills, located in Northern England, played host to a number of strange phenomenon throughout the 1970s and into the 80s. From the "Phantom Copters" of 1973, to triangular shaped UFOs and low hovering objects that would stop cars, the area was a hotspot.
It ultimately culminated ...

1967 was a unique year for Canada. While the United States was embroiled in its own flap that saw the Ohio Valley play host to a myriad of strange activity, the Men in Black run amuck on UFO witnesses, and the government shunt off its UFO program to the University of Colorado, Canada’s flap was...
