Between Bolton Abbey and Addingham near Skipton, North Yorkshire, while driving with his wife, Tony Dodd noticed a large disc-shaped UFO approaching the car to their right. 

He estimated the size of the ship to be four times larger than the car. It was at a low altitude and flew almost directly over the roof of the car, and then disappeared behind the nearest trees. 

His wife described it as a child's spinning top. 

A few moments later, the same UFO appeared again and again rushed to the car. 

PS Dodd stopped the car and took a series of pictures of the object as it receded into the distance. 

The photos were later sent to a research center called Ground Saucer Watch in Arizona, which specializes in analyzing the resulting UFO images. After analysis, they concluded that the photos showed a real UFO on film, which is one of the few that meet their strict criteria. 

They estimated that the object was 30 feet (9 m) in diameter and had a shape close to spherical. This is a series of observations by an officer who later became one of the world's leading authorities on the subject of UFOs.

Summary:  Between Bolton Abbey and Addingham near Skipton, North Yorkshire, whilst driving with his wife, PS Tony Dodd observed a large disc shaped UFO approaching the vehicle from their right. He estimated the size of the craft as being four times that of a car. It was at a low altitude and passed almost directly over the car roof before disappearing behind nearby trees. His wife described the craft as resembling a child’s spinning top. Moments later the same UFO reappeared and swept toward the car once again. PS Dodd pulled the car over to a stop and took a series of photographs of the object as it moved away into the distance. The photographs were later sent to a research facility called Ground Saucer Watch in Arizona that specialize in the analysis of reported UFO images.
