Quaint UK village is ‘UFO hotspot’ with multiple sightings and NASA interest

A quaint village on the border of a National Park has become a ‘ UFO hotspot’ with multiple sightings and interest from NASA – and locals even run tours so you can see aliens yourself.

When you think of extraterrestrials you probably think of Area 51, but you’d be better looking just off the A5021 in Derbyshire as the tiny village of Bonsall has become a hotbed of alien activity, as the Manchester Evening News reports.

There have been so many sightings that NASA scientists have reportedly expressed an interest in the area and contacted one woman about video footage she captured of an alien craft in her back garden.

Located around half an hour from Derby and 90 minutes from Manchester, Bonsall sits on the edge of the Peak District national park.

Neighbouring towns are rock-climbing locales and tourist traps for hikers, but the residents of Bonsall have beaten a different path.

They have homely pubs and cute tea rooms, but they also do a bustling trade in UFO tours due to the countless sightings made by residents.

In 2001, housewife Sharon Rowlands reportedly sold footage she had captured of a flying saucer for £20,000 to a Hollywood producer.

It is even said NASA officials asked to examine the tape as they believed it showed a similar type of craft once spotted by the space agency’s cameras during the STS-75 Columbia Space Shuttle mission in early 1996.

On top of Ms Rowland’s footage, in the early 2000s, 19 sightings of UFOs were reported.

One woman reported seeing a “ball of fire ” in the skies, another “two big, bright lights”, and a man out walking his dog witnessed a “pink glow, vertically shaped like a shoe box”.

Meanwhile, a ‘former CIA agent’ has shared a shocking deathbed confession – saying that Area 51 is real and that he went there and saw real-life aliens.

The anonymous 77-year-old man spoke to UFO researcher Richard Dolan and award-winning documentary maker Jeremy Corbell during a sit-down interview where he lifted the lid on top-secret government projects.

He made claims about the infamous Area 51, as the Daily Star reports, said he’d seen UFOs in the flesh, and confirmed the existence of extraterrestrials.

He gave the sensational interview after allegedly being warned to stop sharing confidential information as he thought he would soon pass away.
