In November 1980, police officer Alan Godfrey reported being drawn to a diamond-shaped UFO hovering above a road near Todmorden. Afterward, he suffered 25 minutes of ‘missing time’, and under hypnosis recalled being examined by a bearded figure and small creatures aboard the craft. The incident, paired with the unsolved and bizarre death of coal miner Zigmund “Ziggy” Adamski, turned Todmorden into what locals now call “UFO Alley,” a hotspot in British alien lore.
