Scammonden is a UFO spotters’ paradise - and the latest sighting happened just last week.
A mum and daughter were been left terrified after spotting a UFO in the sky above the M62 near the dam.
The mum filed a report on www.uk-ufo.co.uk on Tuesday after spotting the craft last Wednesday at 9.30pm near junction 22 at Rishworth Moor.
She said: “Strangely my daughter began a conversation asking me what are ‘extraterrestrials’ and infinite universes.
“I thought she was talking nonsense really, and didn’t pay much attention. Five minutes later we exited junction 22 towards Halifax. It was a clear night, and on the moors there were no road lights, completely pitch dark.
“Suddenly as I am driving on the road to my left a very bright light appeared over the moor above us. Disc shaped, with green and red light slowly moving across the road high above our car.
“My daughter also noticed two blue lights as well on the rim of the flying object. The craft also spun slowly.
“We were in absolute shock. I kept driving and it made its way across the valley towards the m62. As we watched, in a blink of an eye it totally vanished.
