In March 1997, the authorities responsible for policing the UK’s Peak District, were forced to initiate a high-profile search and rescue operation. Local residents reported seeing an unidentified aircraft hurtle from the skies and impact a remote area of moorland. No survivors or wreckage pertaining to this incident have ever been officially recovered, despite numerous witnesses having observed it taking place. What was the true cause of the Howden Moors Incident?

My grandparents said one night they saw a pretty violent plane crash near their home in upstate New York ( this is back in the 1960s.) My grandfather called the sheriff to report it and the next day some “government men”came to talk to them about it. She gave them some coffee and coffee cake which was the custom. They left and the next day they called back to the Sheriff’s office to ask about the crash and they said there wasn’t any plane crash and they didn’t have any record of him calling in a report. There wasn’t anything in the local newspaper about it in the following weeks.
If it's a 'Broken Arrow' or some top secret aircraft like the stealth type then the Air Force will say nothing. You can't get into trouble for what is said when you said nothing.
@@loganpollock1689 I believe they were there to encourage them not to tell anyone about what they saw. This was during the Cold War so they were very paranoid about even their testing activities to be revealed
I grew up in the area, and remember this and the crash/explosion. I must have been amongst those who reported it to the police after seeing craft and the flash from my teenage bedroom window, the light stayed on the horizon for quite a while, before slowly dimming.
There were lots of relatively low flying aircraft in the area for days after which was unusual - normally they fly at a much higher altitude, and in a more set pattern when they come into land at Manchester Airport.
I remember the Tornadoes which echoed across the area. But there were two distinct "booms" the night of the crash. I also remember seeing Hale-Bopp and it was nothing like the craft as it was described...
It is however, not the first time strange lights across the sky were seen in the area, parts of the more remote moorland do feel eerie with a sort of "hum".
Those God damned Xenos mustn't have any insurance with all the crashing they do here on Earth. 🤡
@@Omni_ShamblesYup, we can't have that. They'll have to be registered & get the proper licence & insurance like everyone else. 🛸
@@Omni_Shamblesyou would think they would intentionally be overinsured, with all the crashing they do
@@Omni_ShamblesThese were likely back-engineered craft being piloted by humans that were learning the tech. I think most of the actual crashes are from human pilots testing out the technology from the actual alien crafts
You mean human pilots testing out the actual human crafts. I fixed it for you.@@Nikp117
As a Sheffield resident myself, this is very interesting. I may do further research as most of this took place 15 mins drive away from my house.
Go on Sherlock off ya pop😂
What can you bring to the table
@@rba3298Why are you being so condescending?
Let us know what u find 👍🏻
Be good to go and look around there !
Would not be a proper sunday, without Bedtime Stories to keep my company while at work. 😊
So, You work in Sunday?
In my place, it is Monday morning here
@@bayupamungkas8791working over night into monday. Secrity guard
Lol I was thinking the same thing. You must also be BTS original.😊
@@bayupamungkas8791 i take it you live somewhere in Europe 💶 europe ?
@@bayupamungkas8791Monday as well for me.
I’ve seen one of these but never heard another story about it.
I’d gone outside to let the dogs out and have a cigarette. The house I was staying in at the time was in the countryside and quite remote. It just drifted over the house in complete silence. About the size of 4 cars I’d say..glowing orange and flaming orb. No wind at all but it just slowly passed by and disappeared behind some trees. I was in shock..I can’t remember much else about it or why I didn’t take my phone out to record it. Still messes with my head and your pictures of it brought it all back. Circa 2012 near Inverness, Scotland
I've seen an extremely bright orange object pass over twice. It wasn't a Chinese lantern it was too bright & never flickered. It couldn't see a shape & it never did anything crazy just slowly floated over & could be seen a long distance.
Even if you had your phone handy, you might have been too shocked to use it.
I had a similar experience in broad daylight back in the 90s. I had a camera in my car, and the thought to use it never even occurred to me while I was observing something in the sky quite close to a major highway in Ohio.
Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway, because I would have been accused of faking the photos like so many people before, who had taken photos.
The one I saw looked like an ember coming out of the top of a building but just kept going further and further into space zigzagging.
@@joeszymanski3540 If I've ever told this story, a Chinese lantern it what is always suggested it was...What, like 30 feet in diameter, glowing from within like a mini sun..No.
@@truthseeker2321 I think my camera and phone were inside the house so by the time I'd have come back it would've been gone. I've seen and experienced some weird things in my time but this was right up there.
I know what you mean, the footage from my iPhone(3?) at the time, in the dark, would have been useless anyway....still do wish I'd managed to capture it, so I'm not always wondering if it ever happened at all!
Suddenly, Sunday has ceased to suck. Thanks Bedtime Stories!
Scary Interesting and Hammerson Peters also uploaded so its turning the whole day around for sure.
Jesus loves you
@@meredithgrubb4497Yeh, going to check Scary's sewage ship after this
You don't wanna go to work tomorrow I get it
The hatman‼️
I remember my grandparents telling me they had seen the aircraft, they lived up near Norton in Sheffield and had a great view of the whole of Sheffield and the moors beyond. I still miss them they were awesome
I hope you will meet them again....I hope I will meet my grandparents again...
Regardless of what really happened, you're never going to get a straight answer from the government/military.
We know where we pay for😊
Noooooo really?
I am hooked on bed time stories - the format is outstanding it’s worth the wait - don’t change a thing ever
He had another guy do the narration once before. Howls of protest.
@@sudonymh no wonder. There is only one narrator, and its the current one. Cant have anyone else.
Your graphics are really unique and I just love them.
They remind me of the illustrations you would get with the books you could buy on the strange & mysterious.
They have their own books. If I remember correctly, there’s 2.
@@asseyez-vous6492 Yes. Sort of thing you could read on the train from work.
The books are great but are missing the fantastic art of this channel unfortunately
@@RealMisawa Not entirely accurate. Each Chapter has an image from the episode as a header.
@@BedtimeStoriesChannel That is true! It's nice to have the books, with or without . I've been watching Bedtime Stories grow since the very beginning and always will support and recommend this channel.
I know someone who saw this. He said he thought it was an aircraft on fire. He saw it descend over the hill and saw the explosion. But he didn’t hear any sound which he thought was strange. For days after there was lots of people on the moors looking for the downed craft but there was no sign of any impact.
I just love the quality of the scripts and narration on this channel. I suppose that the RAF may have actually lost an aircraft in this incident, and, as such, would have wanted to keep the incident a secret. That said, as a veteran of the armed forces, I will tell you that you may be very surprised at what you may see in the vast wilderness in New Mexico.
Anytime you see a story with the word "moors," you know it's going to be creepy.
I assume it will involve big cats.
What's a moor? Sounds swampy to me
Especially in UK
A moor is a tract of uncultivated upland or heath. It can be mossy land covered with bushes, grass and peat.@@banditdelta7172
Or smoores
As someone who grew up in the area and remember the Hale Bop Comet at the time, I can tell you that no one in there right mind could have possibly mistaken that for any kind of aircraft, period.
Large and bright at the time, with two tails, and just hovered there in the sky, memorising. There was no way anyone could have looked at it under any circumstance and gone "thats a moving aircraft and it flew right over me and crashed." It wasn't a one night thing either.
I am in the hospital rn... so glad rhis channel exists.. big thank you guys :)
I hope that you're out of the hospital and well by now.
@@adrianovasco3096aye, I am out again, everything went well :). Thank you for asking :)
March 1997 (as well as being my 33rd lap around the Sun) was the time of the Phoenix Lights.
Yup. Crazy time. Year I graduated High School.
I had never heard of this story until a couple of years ago, but I did however have my only UFO experience during the spring of 1997 when living in Sheffield.
I had gotten up to go to the bathroom in the early hours of the morning, on returning to my room I looked up out of the skylight window. I saw a bright light motionless in the sky (I know it wasn’t the Hale-Bopp comet as I had seen it many times). I stared at it for a while trying to figure out what it was as it was completely motionless. Then all of a sudden it shot straight down and my window filled with a flash of bright light.
Completely shaken I returned to bed. It took me a while to get back to sleep and this second part of the story might be because I also suffered from sleeping paralysis. When I woke it was light and I was sleeping face down. I couldn’t move but I could just manage to open one eye and could see the floor of my room. There was a terrible pain in my lower back, I described it at the time as like my kidneys being taken out and put back in again. I tried my hardest to move but failed. I eventually fell back asleep and when I woke again everything was normal.
At the time I just told it to my friends as a strange story. I never thought there were any other events that happened.
This may be a forward assumption, but did you think you were abducted in the middle of the night?
That is strange hearing about the back pain… and then suddenly how you don’t have it once the morning comes.
we need stories 2 times a week
Every day of the week!!!
They would need to use AI to write the stories and make the artwork. 👎
@@MakerInMotion well, he used to release a lot more than what he does now. Seems like he is focusing more on releaseing for spotify now. The worst part of that is his spotify podcast doesnt have the artwork and a lot from what ive noticed are just old episodes from youtube that hes "redone" and released on spotify.
Lucky to get 2 in 6 weeks now
Wait....the Phoenix lights happened that same night! That's wild!
Yes, a lot of strange events seem to occur on the same day. Don’t be surprised if these dates are also days when sports teams win historical games, or when celebrities do something controversial, or when politicians die, or when terrorist attacks happen.
Wow great episode! I've visited the peaks often and never heard of this incident before!!
the Hale-Bopp comet always makes me think of the Heavens Gate cult and their passing
Omg me too! I can’t not think about the mass suicide in the 90’s. I was just a kid when it happened, but it was all over the national news and was the top story on every network for days. It was quite creepy
Love this channel and have watched every video at least twice. With it being over a month since the last upload am getting concerned about the channel's creator. Hoping everything is well!
i did see the Hale Bopp comet in Florida , no way it could be misconstrued as an aircraft
Thanks for these. It's hard to find good paranormal channels that upload semi-regularly these days, and this one is the best out there.
‘UFOB’ and ‘Eyes on Cinema’ ;)
Try the Tape Library
Nice video. Lol at the suggestion that it could be mistaken from the Hale Bopp Comet. Hale Bopp was around for weeks if not months, was so slow moving as to have it’s movement be imperceptible on a moment to moment or night to night basis, and was a very prominent feature in the sky when it was around. Not something that could possibly be mistaken for a crashing aircraft. It would be analogous to saying it was actually the moon.
I love that your credits included the artist's process of one of the still images from the video. Would definitely recommend sticking with that for future episodes!
Unfortunately. There isn't any trace of a crash site in the 'Margery Hill' area, other than the ones that are well known.....The Consul Plane, The Stirling bomber, and the German parachute mine crater. Nothing else whatsoever. There is as you say, the chance that something came down in one of the reservoirs.
Cover up.
It MAY well be a cover up, honestly it wouldn't surprise me. It IS VERY difficult however to hide the traces on the ground! IF you look on Google Earth at the locations in the Peak District where planes have come down, at many of the crash sites, even if there isn't any wreckage remaining, there is still an obvious sign that something has impacted there! On Margery Hill there are 3 things that have impacted. A Stirling Bomber from the Second World War, A Consul small transport plane, and a German Parachute Mine, all of which have left visible traces. There aren't any other areas that look like something has crashed in that general area........Something COULD have gone down, but it's certainly been VERY well hidden after the wreckage was removed! @@ted__ryan
I’m surprised they didn’t blame swamp gas 🤣🤣🤣
It must've been a slow day at Taco Bell. 😂
Ive been checking everyday to make sure i havent missed an upload. I love this channel and thanku to everyone on the BTS team for all the hard work.
Great story!!
I was living in a forested area of Port Townsend, WA with several other people when the Hale-Bopp comet was passing over the Earth. We always saluted it, crying, "Hale, Bopp!" which was somewhat silly even then.
But I can clearly picture the comet in my mind to this day. We watched it every night, weather permitting (it usually was--Port Townsend is in the rain shadow in WA). The comet was as familiar to us as the Moon, but unchanging.
That said, none of the eerie experiences people in this story had resemble our old companion Hale-Bopp.
I'm sticking with UFOs and RAF out-of-bounds planes on this one.
Again, terrific tale.
Love, love, love this. Love Simon's voice, his verbiage, the stories, the music, the whispered end. One of my fav channels.
Sorry but not Simon anymore ... Mr ballen on mic 🎙️🎶
Simon doesn't narrate. Rich does.
@@BedtimeStoriesChannel Well, then...Love Rich's voice. 🙂
Oh that was Rich 🤑 of you!!!🍑🍑🍑@@BedtimeStoriesChannel
You know it's a good day when bedtime stories has a new video
This was the perfect story to place your "...and vanished into thin aaaiiir".
Seriously though it was the best story since "Tulong" & the old stories. Slowly you're starting to give this channel the quality it used to have ❤.
Hooray, a new upload! I've been bingeing this channel thanks to Mr. Ballen. Truly love your content. ❤
Bedtime Stories are Much Better than Mr. Ballen.
Great narration. Well written and spoken. Please don’t ever fall for the AI generated junk scripts.
Same with the great artwork as well, harder and harder to find high quality work like this on CZcams these days
Bro, it ain’t that deep, just enjoy the entertainment for what it is
@@devinari.x I am? Or you mean enjoy bad ai produced content? Bc I don't and won't lol
This sounds familiar to the incident in Kecksburg Pennsylvania
I smell future videoooo!
And the 1800's "airship" crash in Texas?
@@dubuyajay9964 Aurora, Texas?
@@joshuadelgado1286
😂 just been released today!
The artwork is just So Good! Perfectly compliments the topics and mood of the videos.
It was an American weather balloon that went off-course because of Venus, and crashed into Swamp Gas.
Forgot about the body of an owl that unfortunately got mixed in with the whole incident.
entirely plausible
Also Northern Lights involved.
Such good artwork.
I hope upon hope that you guys do one or more episodes on the Phoenix Lights. This was not even two weeks prior and I haven’t heard anything new about it recently. I would love to hear a fresh take on the events of that spring night especially from you guys!!
That's the problem with the Pheonix Lights. There was no real conclusions then, a half a dozen different theories what it was and since then, nothing new that I'm aware of.
I had never heard of this case. I grew up in a UK UFO hotspot so I tend to look out for things like this. I'm a former police call handler although it was for a police force at the opposite end of the country from the notorious hotspot. We had a number to contact the MOD if anyone reported a UFO. I only called them once, they didn't seem overly enthused to say the least!
My dad was a senior UK police officer (back in the days when the police used to serve the people) and I asked him when he retired if he had ever had any reports of a UFO and he said no. I didn't believe him, to be fair, but it was either true or he had been told what to say.
The art work truly translates the story it’s fantastic
Well done and the narrator is on point
Absolutely loved it 👍
I used to work with somebody who lived in the area, and he said he had built a large flying drone, covered in bright lights, that he regularly flew over the moors at night time.
He was an electrician by trade, and he would never show me pictures but thought it amusing that it might set off reports of strange lights in the sky.
I've often wondered if some of this was down to him.
Will we get back to a weekly schedule? I miss these videos so much!
They don’t seem to put out as much content these days. I recommend the why files if you’re looking for more regular content.
The A229 road is rumoured to be the site of several sightings of the ghost of a girl who died in 1965, so perhaps this could be the subject of some kind of CZcams documentary?
I love when bedtime stories come out with an episode. I always wait for nighttime and jump in bed with a snack and turn out the lights 👽👻👹
We need more episodes stat!!!🎉🎉🎉
Holy the graphics keep getting better and better.
Very glad to see this new upload.
Thank you, narration, story, art and animation as always … top class! I love this channel.
Great story! I also really loved the addition of the art bit at the end during the credits. Not only a great way to keep people through credits, as I feel most people click off most credits on things, but a fantastic way to show how the art development process. Loved it! Thanks once more for a wonderful video!
What is of no debate (to me) is that two 17 year old boys filmed (on a vhs handheld camera) a huge 'WW2 type' bomber plane flying very low (maybe 30/40 feet) over rooftops in the Parson Cross area of Sheffield headed towards the Moors just before reports of a crash came in. It was flying almost silently. A copy of the footage was made and taken in to the Calendar news studio (sheffield centre) the morning after and given by hand to the local journalist/presenter Peter McNerney. Nothing was heard back and the footage not used. To the best of my knowledge the original footage/copy still exists with the individual who filmed it.
It could have been a Hercules. To the untrained eye, it would be similar. The problem would be the height, however, it can be difficult to judge accurately. Seen at an angle from the side, an aircraft about the 250 foot limit, could seem lower as you aren't directly under it. Mos too us dont really appreciate the actual size of aircraft.
So is the footage available to watch? Have you seen it.
in march 1997
we had n64, sega saturn, ps1,
we had the nWo and dx,
Mazda Rx7s, Toyota Supras, Nsx........... most of our families were still alive.
Please god take me back to the 90s.
I’m from West Yorkshire, these are my favourite stories you do Richard. And I hope I’m not saying anything wrong when I say that Adrian would be hugely happy and proud of you doing what you both love to do. (I listened to the story about Adrian a while ago) big love mate keep it up. ❤️❤️❤️
Can someone help me find a story on this channel? It involved two children seeing a figure in their backyard on the edge of the woods and mistaking it for their father. They went after it and it kept disappearing behind one tree and reappearing in front of another deeper into the woods. After a little while the kids grew suspicious that they were being lured deeper and ran back to their home.
The Near Missing 411 I believe 🤔
You are my favorite CZcams channel. Please release more Alien and UFO stories asap man
Damn...graphics look good bro
We saw Hale Bop when we lived in a tower block in Wolverhampton. It was in the sky for about 10 days. Its position moved very SLOWLY each night. So to say that it was Hale Bop is bollocks. It would not move quickly across the sky.
Added to this, why would the military scramble jets and helicopters for Hale Bop????
Personally, I think it was perhaps some experimental military craft, and it went splat. The fact that they didn't have the radar station manned that night???? Hmm, seems like a load of tripe to me. They would not leave that kind of facility unmanned. It's the RAF and it's defence. They just didn't share, it's as simple as that.
You also have an ex-RAF man witnessing Typhoons going over. A loud boom suggests a sonic boom. In an emergency, they can go supersonic when granted permission. However, I tend to think that the boom was something crashing, and again, I think the thing that crashed was either an experimental craft gone haywire or we had an unwanted foreign visitor, perhaps from Russia???? After all, we know that a certain Dictator does have a liking for counting coup.
Never get tired of this channel 🤩🤩🤩
Watch this video 11 times in a row, then you will. Never say never!
The idea that ANYONE could mistake the frikkin tiny, almost impossible to see without binoculars, HalleBopp comet with a large, bright flashing/flaming light crossing the sky in a matter of seconds, is so ridiculous as to be deliberately insulting.
The comet looked like a slightly fuzzy star that's movement was imperceptible over hours. And the idea of Mancunian drug-runners in Cessnas causing a giant glowing UAP is as hilarious as it is bonkers. Whatever tgis was it wasn't the vomet and it wasn't Sean Ryders weekly supply of E crashing into a swamp.
The comet was VERY visible even without binoculars. The time of this incident (in the video) was about the same time i first saw the comet. And he was very plane to see. As he was for many nights to come.
It's been a month and I'm getting twitchy without a new bedtime story. Haven't slept well at all....
I confess, I take powernaps, and like listening to these especially laying down, Thanx, Bedtime Stories🐾;)...
It was around 1997 when I saw and RAF jet over Sheffield in the late evening. It was pulling some really tight maneuvers in a large triangle shape and you could hear it thrusting up on each straight leg of the triangle. I thought to myself, that's odd that a jet is doing that over Sheffield? It looked as though it was chasing something but, there was nothing else (visible) in the sky. It departed just as fast as it had arrived. I've often wondered it that jet was related to this incident? I didn't find out about the Howden Moore incident until quite a while later.
You should make a video about Reino Magico (Magic Kingdom), the haunted amusement park in Veracruz, Mexico.
Haven't seen one of these in a while, and I'm already hooked a few seconds in.
the art work just amazing
I do the artwork for this channel, I'm glad you like it.

I went walking around the Ladybower yesterday. Those stairs always tire me out lol 😆
Always a great watch to hear about these stories.
What an appropriate time to listen to this one. Just before bedtime. Good one.
OUTSTANDING in content & presentation, as usual. Bedtime Stories is KING of the genre! Thank you all for everything you do to get these videos to us. Beautiful work!
I almost miss this one out.
Happy St. Patrick's Day
Thanks for the video!
Drug Smuggling Flights above The Yorkshire Moors...... funniest thing I've heard in years. 🤣🤣🤣
Bedtime stories are like Marvel movies. You sit until after the credits have run “just in case”
Thank you, just in time for a cosy (spooky) listen!
Classic bedtime stories episode. Thanks for that.
Perfect... just getting ready for bed
You sure go to bed early
@@janblackman6204 gotta get them 8 hours bro
Is 22:30/23:00 really that early lol
Freaky stuff! Keep up the high quality content, love it!
Wow well done on the subs it’s been some time since Iv been on this channel have to be in the mood for spooky so happy to see your channel growing
The only thing better than falling asleep to Bedtime Stories is falling asleep to a UFO Bedtime Stories episode
Another fantastic episode! I have been a fan since your very first video, "The Flannan Isle Lighthouse Mystery". Please consider doing one on the wolves of Pavagada. It is an incredibly creepy event that occurred in the mid 80's.
No one could have mistaken the Hale Bopp comet. I was lucky enough to see it, and it had a double tail. At the time, the media was covered with images of the comet, and everyone would have been aware. Above all, what struck me was its stillness. The great distance from earth negated any sense of movement through space.
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you, these are very interesting details.
That night I was waiting for my then partner in Stocksbridge , I heard a long humming noise and looked up to the sky and saw a very low flying plane the shape and sound like an old WW2 bomber ( I'm familiar with these as my Grandad was in the RAF in the war) The plane went across the sky heading towards the strines .At the time I thought it odd .
I love bedtime stories 😊 it's very interesting
❤ Awesome as always thanks
Ps There are a lot of black Helicopters flying around the reservoirs in the Derwent valley seen these a couple of time up there , last time was when the Derwent reservoir was so low we were walking in it.
A wonderful Sunday video. Nice
This happened around the same time as the Phoenix lights.
No shit......?!
Very much looking forward to a new episode. I hope everything’s okay with team BTS.
Probably busy with day job/family life etc. Sure they have plenty coming, but worth checking the why files out and war time stories.
@@peterclarke9859 Thanks - I have; Mr Ballen as well. To me those others don’t come close to BTS though. Just my humble opinion of course.
Amazing! Was just looking for something to listen to in bed when this came up! 😃😃😃
Brilliant as always
Much love hope all is well you guys 🙏
Great story! I wonder how many times something like this has happened and no one reported it! Thanks
I just love this channel!
Love this channel!
Another amazing episode! Do you think you guys could cover the Filiberto Caponi case someday? It would be the perfect story for this channel
It is always a pleasure to see your videos.
Great episode!
Very interesting story, with so many possible explanations. Something happened - yes, but what was it? Drug runners, possibly - W E Johns and Edgar Wallace used the idea in long ago novels, but its equally plausible in reality. If a plane had crashed in a reservoir, would not oil come to the surface eventually? There are plenty of aircraft which have gone missing up on those moors - and they're big places. Quite a few people too.
Classic Bedtime Stories this - great work!
