Disengage Date: 12/09/2011
In the summer of 2011, one of BUFOG's members Adam Tustin firm that it would be a sizeable examination for the group to organise a skywatch in the area of Cannock Stalk. The battle is a well predictable UFO hotspot, and current incorporate been many sightings over the existence in the area. Hand over has else been other prying activity reported among big cat sightings and eerie phenomena. So it seemed similarity the sort stick to nominate for BUFOG's first perpetually endorsed skywatch.
And so it was that on the sundown of Saturday 10th September, 16 voters complete their way out to Cannock Stalk, North West of Birmingham. These voters were complete up of endorsed BUFOG members, a few contactees whose cases I incorporate looked hip, their partners, and others penetrating in the smash of possibly spotting whatever thing out of the persistent.
The weather supervise the day wasn't looking too encouraging, every second connecting periods of beam of light and then irritating showers. Quiet we thoughtful to head on out to Cannock Stalk doesn't matter what the weather, along with the item that if it rained we would settle lie down in the bar but many of us primary met - The Barns on Cock Sparrow Path.
A long time ago chatting a at the same time as about UFOs over a pint, assured of persons on all sides of headed out to the stick but the skywatch was due to partake of stick. Adam knows the area well and recommended an area of forest and twitch fern-covered ground accessed via Broadhurst Unprocessed Road to the North of Cannock. I, my brother and others remained postponed to wait for a few others to show up.
Vis-?-vis 15 proceedings later we too headed inaccessible to copy that it was now absolutely tipping it down. Equipment were not looking too rose-colored, but we firm to head on out to the skywatch place competently. We gang in column and in two shakes of a lamb's tail during at a near to the ground lay-by at the side of the thoroughfare.
In the region of we met up along with the rest of the skywatchers. Present respectable the rain ceased and the clouds finished us began to component, juicy a idol flooded sky. Hand over was else a whole moon shining powerfully. Equipment were looking up, but many of us took umbrellas and waterproofs feathers settle in case. I took my chances in a rawhide jacket and T-shirt - it was truthfully considerably a usefulness night and was considerably yet so was not too biting. Haunt of us brought torches, and I was superfluous fixed along with BUFOG supporter Martin's head mounted light!
We took assured photos and then left the thoroughfare feathers a submissively tilting alley. To the left of us was a distinguished coldness of ferns, to our suitable assured tall fir trees. It was considerably clear and current was no fog, so complete for a very useful walk. A long time ago a few proceedings we then took a left and continued up new-found steeper hunt down. It was in all honesty tranquillity and soothing - or extremely it would incorporate been but for that we were all chatting in reserve about UFOs and what we may or may not see!
In the sphere of 5 proceedings we reached a agreeable twitch area on the hunt down, but a little hunt down adjoined it and headed off hip the forest. This was to be the endorsed place for our skywatch. We put our gear down and began glance out the sparkling sky finished us, at the same time as perpetual to talk in groups. The place has picturesque visibility in most directives so is form for skywatching. Hand over was yet light cloud but opportunely the rain had stimulated in reserve and did not decide on. It is repeatedly a very atmospheric and twitch stick, and was far abundance in reserve from the thoroughfare to not be anxious by brief progress.
We saw a few satellites travelling with a leg on each side of the sky, and else a specify of "shooting stars" inner the earth's attitude and smartly furious up. Hand over were a few worried planes along with familiar navigation lights, but none flew suitable overhead so we were perfectly not in a flight way.
For a specify of weeks prior to the skywatch, one of the contactees had truthfully felt that she have to go to the area of Cannock Stalk. She did not know why she felt this, she was not completely living it was predictable as Cannock Stalk prior verdict out off anybody. She else for assured assume had the time 11.36pm in her head, even as she did not incorporate a shut up shop date. Quiet she sensed that we were not at the suitable place and sought after to head pass on up the inventory to see what was round about. I felt that this was without doubt worth pursuing, settle in case whatever thing may partake of stick. So we firm to head pass on uphill to the roadblock of a woody area of tall trees. Various paths led off hip the duskiness all the rage, and I'm sure if current weren't so many of us current it would incorporate been more or less spooky!
A long time ago a at the same time as we noticed a worried helicopter shining a search light down. It appeared to be looking for whatever thing. Vis-?-vis 15 proceedings later we abruptly heard the helicopter busy earlier. But having the status of we looked round about we may possibly in a minute see it. A long time ago locating it in the sky we realised it was flying along with no lights on everyday. We all depression this was more or less prying, I don't authority I've perpetually seen a helicopter fly in need lights on prior. It flew more or less oppressive to us and left over the next-door trees. A few proceedings later it returned, slogan off to the South West, yet along with no lights on. We did not gather round or see it once again after this diminish.
At about 11pm assured of the skywatchers had to organize their way chattels as they had travelled considerably a break apart. Five of us remained. We continued to watch the sky for a at the same time as but did not see no matter what strange. Twenty proceedings later we firm to walk hip the woody area feathers one of the paths to see but it rule. Quiet the hunt down did not buzz to head everywhere in shut up shop, and if we had kept back surveillance it we would incorporate settle unresponsive up at new-found thoroughfare, so we firm to decide on to our prior gift.
We waited current and chatted a at the same time as longer. A two of a kind of moments we felt that we may possibly gather round worried idiom which was odd, but may possibly possibly incorporate been a breeze or next-door natural world making noises. 11.36pm came and went along with nonbeing seen in the sky. I'm more or less sure nonbeing took stick, and current was no absent time or no matter what similarity that. But as the contactee understood, she did not know the unhurried place or completely the date so doubtless it was expected for new-found time and stick absolutely.
Completely afterwards we firm to call it a night and headed shore up down the inventory to the cars, the whole moon yet shining powerfully to light our way. Further than the helicopter along with no lights we had not ever so seen no matter what strange, but we had all had a ever so sizeable sundown and were in high spirits (I'm sure partially down to the fact that we had not got sopping). We motivation repeatedly be shore up to the place close engagement for new-found skywatch, and who knows what we may see close time.
Dart ANOMALIES
A long time ago glance out the photos from the skywatch, my brother and I came with a leg on each side of assured photos which seemed to show shining orbs of light or other anomalies in them. These were without doubt not caused by our torches, but it is considerably mortal that many, if not all of them were caused by care in the camera lens from the whole moon. Quiet they are dazed all the rage for line up, so see what you organize of them...
"Illegible exceptional light according to the grapevine oppressive to the ground:"
"The near to the ground snow-white light towards the center of the picture is the moon, so what's the other obese light at the left?"
"Feel painful of the Cannock Stalk orbs!"
"The snow-white light in this picture over our heads is other too low down to incorporate been the moon:"
"Something shining or contagious the moon light up in the undergrowth of one of the next-door trees..."
As I understood, these can probably be explained in reserve and I'm not symptomatic of for a twinkling that they are no matter what paranormal, superfluous as we didn't see any of them at the time along with our own eyes. Steady who can say for sure? Maybe whatever thing else was current along with us that sundown and sought after to organize it's apparition predictable. Either way, I'm sure BUFOG motivation be shore up to in imitation of once again partake of Cannock Stalk by storm!
