Flying Saucers over Conisbrough

A 15 years old Conisbrough boy, Stephen Pratt, of 11 Leslie Avenue, who claims to have photographed flying saucers, has been asked to attend a conference on “U.F.O.’s” by the British Unidentified Flying Objects Research Association.

It will be held in Bradford on September 10.

Stephen who claims to have seen three flying saucers hovering above Conisbrough earlier this year says they disappeared in the direction of Sheffield. Photographs which he took have been scrutinised by experts.

Stephen, a trainee miner at Cadeby Colliery, told the “South Yorkshire Times” on Tuesday, “I still believe the three objects I saw were genuine flying saucers and not just a trick of the light. I have been asked to send the photographs to experts in London, but I don’t know whether I shall be to go to the conference.”
