Geocache Description:

THE FUTURE OF MANKIND LIES IN YOUR HANDS!

Aliens from a planet in the orbit of the dying red giant, Betelgeuse, are attempting to seed the planet's atmosphere with a deadly virus
This virus was intended to have been released into the stratosphere miles above Earth, but the virus containing vial and it's tubular housing appear to have failed to detonate and have fallen to Earth in West Yorkshire.
Time is of the essence! Intelligence tells us that the container is degrading, (This manifests itself as a yellow patina on the surface of the housing. If this is present, your time to deactivate is hugely reduced, possibly to mere seconds)
Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to find and neutralize this piece of alien weaponry.
The Co-ordinates have been discovered and are supplied. Load these into your anomaly locator and when you arrive at GZ (Parking is available at GZ adjacent to the Equine Nourishment Facilities) and have located the vial container, carefully carry out the following instructions.
Remove the fitting that holds the white detonator cap. This will deactivate the device. Fill in the log we believe is in this housing. Replace detonator cap to container, and container to its original location.
YOU WILL HAVE SAVED THE WORLD FROM A TERRIBLE FATE
GOOD LUCK, SPACE CADETS. THE FUTURE OF MANKIND LIES IN YOUR HANDS!
