A Reform UK councillor proposed monitoring UFOs above an airport due to reopen in Yorkshire.
Thorne and Moorends Ward councillor Kieran Lay suggested to a City of Doncaster Council meeting that a "Doncaster UAP Overview and Safety Committee or panel" should be established to track "unidentified anomaly phenomena," also known as UFOs, at Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
The airport closed in 2022 after its owner said it was no longer financially viable. Doncaster Council is planning to reopen it, with a £57m loan to support this.
"If we are serious about delivering a safe, successful airport for the people of Doncaster, shouldn't we at least examine all verified data, including the UAP activity recorded right here, before committing any further public money?" Mr Lay asked.
