Abduction Photographed

Location: Ilkley (West Yorkshire) - Moors
Type: UFO
Date / Time: 1 December 1987
Further Comments: A former policeman photographed a strange creature running away from him on the moor - he gave chase, only to see a large silver disc take off and fly away at fantastic speed.

The area has a history of fairy sightings, which may be connected to this abduction story.
