The Ilkley Moor Incident

On the morning of December 1, 1987, retired policeman Philip Spencer was walking across the moor heading for his father-in-law’s home. He’d taken his camera in the hope of catching some images of the early morning light. In fact the photographs he took that day would end up in the world’s press.

Using a compass to navigate through the fog, Spencer said he came across a strange looking being. Hurriedly taking a picture of the creature when it ran away, he decided to follow it and claimed to have caught a glimpse of a craft with a domed top rising up from the moor and disappearing into the sky.

Noah And The Four Winds

Amazing sculpture at the Chester Zoo.  


Highly accomplished Liverpool sculptor, Sean Rice, presented ‘Noah and the Four Winds’ to the zoo. Sean was a student at Liverpool Polytechnic, and was commissioned to create it to commemorate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. The sculpture is still on display in the zoo, and can be found in the sunken garden.

God, I love that someone signed off on this design.
