WHITEHAVEN, England, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- A band of UFO hunters in northwestern England is warning they'll have to close down operations due to lack of sightings, or interest.

Chris Parr, the Whitehaven-based coordinator for British UFO Hunters in the Cumbria region told The Telegraph he felt like a member of a dying breed.

"In Cumbria we have gone from 60 UFO sightings in 2003 to 40 in 2004 and none at all this year," he said. "I put it down to the end of the 'X-Files' (television show), a lack of military exercises in the area that would produce UFO sightings and a lack of strange phenomena."

Parr said he has three camcorders, and brings them out whenever he hears of sightings elsewhere in the country in the hope the flying saucer will fly past his area.

So far, none have, the report said.
