UFOs described as bright orange balls apparently flying information, have been seen repeatedly in Consett and Stanley, North Durham, The flap began Thursday, February 18, 1999, at 10:30 p.m., when three orange sphere UFOs were seen over North Durham. Bright orange balls, some apparently flying in formation, have been spotted in parts of County Durham.
UFO experts believe that major activity has been concentrated over North Durham. One woman driving her car on Crooksgate Road, between Newcastle and Consett, watched a large oval shaped object in the clouds for 20 seconds. In a detailed statement to a UFO information centre in Leeds, run by coordinator Andrew Ellis, she said it was bright orange and yellow. The woman, who did not want to be named, said the object seemed to hover above the trees and then it moved behind them. We have several reports from the Consett and Stanley area, Ellis said, One had four balls coming together in a formation and disappearing.
