 Phantom Plane Mystery Deepens
| • Story taken from The Craven Herald, 30 January 2004.<BR><BR>The mystery surrounding the sighting of an historic low-flying aeroplane near Barnoldswick has deepened.<BR><BR>Following last week's story in which a couple told how they saw a Lancaster bomber-type plane on collision course with houses near the Rolls-Royce site at Bankfield, Skipton aerial phenomena expert Donald Cooper was inundated with phone calls from people all over Craven who reported similar sightings.<BR>Most told of what they described as a low flying Lancaster-type plane and several said they had seen it the same day as the couple in the story, but in different locations. <BR><BR>Others were unsure of the day, but most were uniform in their description of the aircraft in that it was dark grey, with no markings and, although the propellers were rotating, was making no sound.<BR><BR>"I must have taken 30 or more calls since Friday from a variety of people ranging from professionals to members of the public, councillors to pub landlords," said Mr Cooper. <BR><BR>"Some have even come forward saying they saw something of that description several years ago. In particular one elderly gentleman rang to say he had seen the plane the article referred to. "He also said there used to be an old airfield at Greenberfield Lane (in Barnoldswick) which I didn't know about."<BR><BR>Coincidentally, Mr Cooper pointed out that an article had also appeared in a national newspaper last Friday about "time slips", which said there had been many reports of people claiming to have seen World War Two aircraft as if re-running missions, often silently, from 60 years<BR>before. <BR><BR>Both Mr Cooper and his co-researcher Joseph Skelton now want to know if anyone has any knowledge of any aircraft making a forced landing near Greenberfield Lane in Barnoldswick during the last war. They can be contacted on 01756 791957 or 01756 795006. |
