A former businessman who has become an alien hunter has released footage which he claims is a UFO. Russ Kellett claims he has been abducted dozens of times by aliens and has a collection of videos and pictures which he says back up his views.
The 58-year-old, who lives in Filey, North Yorkshire believes his local area is a key place for spotting aliens. He is documenting numerous incidents which he says have happened over the years and which include some of his own films of unusual things in the skies.
One of these is the footage of a "dolphin-like" object in the sky above his home town. And while some people have claimed it is just a helium balloon Mr Kellett is convinced of its alien origin.
He told YorkshireLive: "If it was a helium balloon you would see the tether. People have said they have seen other crafts in the shape of a dolphin. When I put it (the video footage) out someone said it was a balloon."
Asked if he thought it was an alien craft, he added: "Yeah, it's got to be."
The long-standing UFO investigator has previously claimed to have been abducted 'at least 60 times' from the age of 16. He also says he was made to fight aliens as a 'super soldier'.
His incredible claims include seeing alien creatures. He has also told how he once spotted pop star Robbie Williams aboard an alien spacecraft.
Mr Kellett says he believes that a 'flying saucer' landed in the vicinity of Irton Moor, Scarborough, not far from the GCHQ spy base, in 2010. He said the landing was witnessed by a friend.
He claims that, in 1956, a 'flying saucer' also landed in Loftus, a town north of the North York Moors and about 17 miles from Whitby by road. He has been working with documentary makers about his experiences and says it is clear that North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire are hotspots for this type of incident.
In the past he has also sketched some of the alien species he has encountered. These include 10ft tall and bald beings.
In Queensbury, near Bradford, Mr Kellett filmed an object in the sky that he calls 'flying man'. Speaking about the footage, he says: "It's like nothing I have ever seen in my life. It was going towards Halifax.
"It came down around that area. People call it the 'flying man'. West Yorkshire and the east coast have got all sorts going on."
It's not the first time that Yorkshire has been named as a UFO hotspot. Both East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire have been named as UFO-spotting holiday hotspots.
Last year he told YorkshireLive about his first encounter when he was four and living in Girlington, Bradford. He says he saw a man wearing something resembling a 'space suit and helmet' in the back yard of the family home in Kensington Street.
"He was walking in my garden - I could not believe it. I waved and he put his hand up. There was a silver object which I thought was a dustbin. He walked behind this silver object and the next thing it juddered and went up. I thought 'what the heck is this.'"
He didn't tell anyone what he had seen but has now revealed all in a new book called 'Russell Kellett is E.T. Rider'. He says the book is the story of his life and his encounters with 'alien craft' and abductions by aliens.
Mr Kellett hit the headlines in 2020 when he claimed he saw singer Robbie Williams aboard a spaceship in 1999. He said the former Take That star was part of his 'military unit'." According to the Daily Star, Robbie did not deny the story but said: "No comment."
