the only leeds ufo story i have is a bit weak, but here it goes, back when i was at uni i was at out on the benches outside whitelocks staring up at the night sky, while my mate was at the bar (getting the first drink of the evening i must add, i wasnt drunk...yet) and i was looking at the stars or in particular a cluster of three bright stars aranged in a triangle, they did seem really bright, much brighter than the stars around them (not been into astrology i couldnt tell you what constelation, but there was a lot of stars in the sky that night) and and it was a really nice autumn night too. i must have stared at the stars for a few seconds all three of them just glittering there in the sky before one of them just shot off out of view leaving just two stars were there was three just moments earlier, the star was stationary for a while before it shot out of view and when i say shot out of view i mean it wasnt a slow accelaration it just darted from a stationary position away in an isatnt, so...UFO or shooting star or none or the above? told you it was weak, but its at least its true, anyone with astrological knowledge out there who can explain how that could happen naturally, you know trick of the light or something, swampgas reflecting off venus, you know somethig like that or did i see a craft of intergalactic visitors setting off home

They are often at such a high altitude and flying relatively slowly that they appear not to be moving until the fuelling plane detaches. For additional mystery however, the planes that fly that high are often spy or 'black' planes.

There are only 10 types of people in the world -those who understand binary, and those that don't.
