Britain’s Men in Black were apparently so concerned by its appearance in Yorkshire in the 1950s they sent it to London to be studied secretly by experts. It was found by three men in

November 1957 on Silpho Moor, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire. The 17-inch wide metal saucer, weighing 33lb, had hieroglyphics on its base similar to those supposedly observed at the

Roswell UFO crash site in America’s New Mexico. They cut it open and found a tiny book made of 17 copper sheets which carried a 2,000-word message. One “translation” claimed it was sent by

an alien called Ullo to warn Earth about the danger posed by its nuclear weapons with the chilling message: “You will improve or disappear.” Dr David Clarke, of Sheffield Hallam University,

saw the remains at the Science Museum after giving a UFO talk. He said: “One of the museum staff tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was aware that ‘bits of a flying saucer’ had been

kept in a cigarette tin for decades. “I was absolutely amazed when later we opened the tin box and saw the wreckage.” UFO: SCIENTIST EXAMINES MYSTERIOUS FIREBALL DEBRIS ABOVE PERU MARK

BRANAGAN The UFO was found by three men in November 1957 on Silpho Moor, Yorkshire Papers revealed the Silpho saucer pieces were sent to London for secret examination by meteorite expert

Gordon Claringbull, at the Natural History Museum in 1963. Sceptics claimed the “saucer” was made from a domestic hot water cylinder and planted on the moor as an elaborate hoax. But tests

carried out at Manchester University revealed that the object’s shell was radiation-proofed with lead and the copper parts were of unusually high purity.
