The Dales UFO tally continues to rise following the 26th sighting in the last nine months.
The latest close encounter was had on Friday, June 1 by a 62-year-old Cromford man, who asked not to be named.
And he claims to have seen the same craft on two previous occasions in the last month.
“I’ve seen them before,” he remarked. “You can see this one three or four times a week.”
The UFO was seen at the top of Slack Hill in Kelstedge at around 1.30am.
The man described it as being around 3,000 feet high and a shade of orange similar to a streetlamp.
“It changes shape all the time,” he added, “like it’s made of dough and light cascades from it.
“It seemed to be watching me and kept coming closer and closer until it was just 1,000 feet away.
“I was not scared – just very curious – but I did want to keep away from it.”
