North West UFO Research
April 2009 update on Cumbrian UFO sightings.
The Cumbrian ORBL phenomena
The latest witness report arrived on Thursday 26th March 2009 when an astronomy
enthusiast spotted two orange balls of light moving at immense speed over the
Solway Firth over towards Moresby and Whitehaven and on to the north east.
An anonymous male witness said:
“It was at 8.04pm. The lights were following each other then they crossed over.
“There’s an international space satellite that passes over on a regular basis,
but I have monitored the space satellite and I know its movements and
trajectory. These lights were completely different.
This particular story was covered by North West Evening Mail

This witness also kindly thanked NWUR for talking up the banner of investigation over the Lake District UFO sightings.
Stateside Interest in the Cumbrian UFO Axis
The UFO Hunters team in the States have contacted NWUR
Founder, Pat Regan, expressing interest in the local Orange Ball phenomena.
Dave Pavoni producer stated that the team call the latest sightings "ORBLs"
– known as Orange Balls of Light – "Hynek investigated them and they are a known
UFO term” added Mr Pavoni.
Who was Hynek?
Dr
J. Allen Hynek, was a Astronomy professor at Ohio State University, who went on
to become Associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in
1956), and chairman of the Astronomy Department at Northwestern University
during 1960). Hynek is best remembered, though, for his contribution to research
into unidentified flying objects.
This commenced in 1949 when he was invited by the US Air Force to become the
astronomical consultant to Project Grudge, based at nearby Wright Field (later
Wright-Patterson AFB), in Dayton. He continued in this position with the
successive and much longer Project Blue Book, gradually shifting over the years
from a position of extreme scepticism to one in which he believed that UFOs
represent "an aspect or domain of the natural world not yet explored by
science."
In 1973, four years after the termination of Project Blue Book, Dr Hynek founded
the Centre for UFO Studies (CUFOS), based in Chicago. He also served as
technical advisor to the producers of the motion picture Close Encounters of the
Third Kind.

Cumbria’s own ORBLs appear to be the latest in a long line of
mysterious UFO phenomena that have stretched expert minds for a great deal of
time.
Please contact NWUR with any UFO sightings, photos and videos.
