In March 1997 a major air operation took place over the Peak District. Military jets were scrambled to the area shortly after witnesses reported a huge black silent triangular craft in the air travelling slowly overhead. After this, the sound and tremor of something crash landing was reported. The MOD have not admitted that one of their planes crashed, but much evidence points to a crash of a Royal Air Force jet, and also points to a government cover up. Questions which remain unanswered about the case are : What were the military chasing and why? and, did a military jet crash in the process? Max Burns who has carried out extensive investigations seems to have some of the answers. The case is known for being hugely controversial because certain pro government "mouthpieces" have been attempting to sweep the case under the carpet from day one.
