RAF SOPLEY UFO – 1971

By Philip Mantle
At the UFO DATA conference in October 2007 I met up with veteran UFO investigator David Beezer. I’ve known David for many years and he has regularly attended many of our public events. David wanted me to read a report he had received from a for RAF officer but on the day I simply did not have the time. David made me a copy of the report in question and I read it a day or two after the conference had finished.

The report came from a Mr. Alan Turner MBE and concerned a UFO observed on radar at RAF Sopley in the summer of l971. I subsequently contact Mr. Turner and have his permission to document the following. His report is published in full.

Alan Turner was aged twenty-five when he joined the Royal Air Force in l966 and was commissioned that year as an Air Traffic Control Officer. RAF Sopley was a wartime bunker, which had been converted into a joint military/civilian Air Traffic Control Radar Unit (ATCRU): it closed in l974 when both the civil and military ATC functions were transferred to West Drayton.

Alan Turner remained in the RAF eventually to command the Central ATC School from 1990 to 1992. In July 1995 he was discharged from the RAF in the rank of Wing Commander.

This is Wing Commanders Turner’s account of what he personally observed at RAF Sopley in the summer of l971 in full:

In the summer of 1971 I was the Duty Military Supervisor at RAF Sopley, which was a joint military/civil Air Traffic Control Radar Unit (ATCRU). It was a Tuesday afternoon but I cannot remember the exact date. The Duty Civil Supervisor drew my attention to a situation on radar the likes of which neither of us had ever encountered.

Emanating from a point some twenty nautical miles east of the eastern extremity of the Salisbury Plain Danger Area were a series of six or seven blips moving on a south-easterly track each being separated from the other by about six miles. At about forty miles from the point they appeared on radar they disappeared to be followed almost immediately by a replacement at the point of origin.

I put the FPS 6 Height Finder onto some returns to discover that they were about 3000 feet when they came into radar cover and climbing extremely rapidly so that, by the time they disappeared from radar, they were in excess of 60,000 feet. To climb to such a height in only forty miles was beyond the ability of any fighter aircraft at the time.

The phenomenon was witnessed by four civil and six military controllers on duty at the time. I called Heathrow Radar to discover that they, also, wee seeing a similar picture. The same situation prevailed in the Fighter Control Operations Rooms at RAF Neatishead. The three units involved operated different radars from each other thus different frequencies were in use. The weather forecast from the south of England was calm and sunny. I called the Met Office to confirm the strength of the upper winds to find that they were also relatively calm and were about fifty degrees off the southeasterly track of the blips; they also confirmed that there were not Met balloons/probes airborne at the time.

The winds were not strong enough, nor in the right direction, to cause the blips to travel on their observed track especially at the speed they were travelling. It was estimated that they were doing around 250 knots, but it must be borne in mind that this was a lateral speed as seen on radar – they must have been travelling very much faster to climb over 50,000 feet in less than forty miles. Equally the weather was such that there were no ‘angels’ to affect the radar picture. “Angels” was a euphemism for, what were believed to be, ionozed pockets of air which, under very specific atmospheric conditions, were often seen on radar screens in those days: when seen, these ‘angels’ traveled extremely slowly simply drifting along haphazard tracks. In those days all radars were ‘raw’. That is to say that, whatever was within the coverage of the radar envelope and capable of bouncing (returning) the radar pulse back to the receiver, would be seen on the radar tube. Today’s radars are computerised thus such interference is processed out so as not to affect the picture.

Looking around for some other method of checking what was going on, I discovered that a controller had two Canberras on frequency returning from Germany. One of the pilots agreed to investigate so I assumed control of his aircraft and, having confirmed he was in good visual met conditions, I vectored him on to the blips keeping him regularly updated on their position relative to the Canberra. The aircraft was flying at around nineteen thousand feel and when it got within a mile or so of one particular blip, the pilot reported, in a very agitated voice, that his radar had picked something up heading down his port side by about a quarter of a mile and ‘climbing like the clappers’, it was on a reciprocal heading to the Canberra. The pilot admitted that neither he nor his navigator made any visual contact and confirmed that the weather conditions were such that they would have had no difficultly seeing something that close.

The whole episode lasted for twenty minutes or more before the blips stopped appearing. I impounded the R/T tapes and the Radar Video film and made appropriate entries in the log. Each person in the Ops Room who witnessed the incident was required to write a report. The Squadron Leader in charge of Operations collated the reports and informed higher authority. Within a couple of days I was interviewed in the Squadron Leader’s office by two men who were not identified to me. I, along with all the others in the Ops Room on the day in question, were told in no uncertain terms not to relate what we had seen until cleared to do so. About four years later I was serving at RAF Wattisham when the Station Commander asked to see me. I was told that he had a communication from the MoD about the incident at Sopley and that as ‘nothing could be confirmed’ the situation was such that doubt would be cast on anything I said about it. I took this to mean that I was no longer to remain silent.

I am at a loss to explain what I, and many other people, saw. In those days aircraft could not climb at such a rate. To be seen on displays by three different ground radars, plus the airborne radar in the Canberra, is also a mystery. The weather conditions were very definitely VMC or Visual Met Conditions; the aircraft was clear of cloud by at least a thousand feet vertically and with a forward visibility of at least five nautical miles.

Alan Turner MBE 10th November 2007.

In Mr. Turner’s letter to be dated 10th November 2007 he apologised for not remembering the exact date of the incident and believes that there are those out there that will use this to discredit his account. I’ll leave you with his final comments on the incident; “Please use the information in any way you see fit; I stand by what I saw because I know what I saw.”

Colleagues and I intend to submit a Freedom of Information request to the UK Ministry of Defence, and should we obtain any further information we will of course publish it due course.

Thanks must go to David Beezer for supplying the information and contact details and special thanks to Alan Turner MBE for allowing me to publish his account.

Mexican hat shape UFO

Please find enclosed, descriptions of my two most recent experiences. At 02.30am, on Tuesday 25th March 2008, I was standing in the rear bedroom of my sisters house, in Bargate Road, Belper, Derbyshire, when I noticed in the upper left hand of the window, an object decending at a 60 degree angle from the south west heading towards a grassed area of land to the rear of Bargate Road. The object resembled a mexican sombrero hat, but was pink fleshy coloured, and, had a very pronounced raised centre. I estimate it to have been around 7 feet across, at its base, its centre was raised up into a pinnacle, it glowed a strong pinky fleshy colour, and, was clearly visible against the backdrop of stars, from an initial height of about 150 feet up, It descended in a slow and controlled manner at about 10 mph, with its edges moving in a fluttering pattern not unlike a jelly fish swimming. It came to a rest on the ground to the left rear of the property. It stayed motionless by a tree for a couple of minutes before moving to the right at ground level, so as to cause it to be directly behind number 5 Bargate road, and, in direct head-on line of sight. The object stayed motionless for about 10 minutes, then began to glow, as it did so it raised up a couple of feet off the ground, and transformed into a white streak of light, which, shot skywards vertically at high speed. I was awake, and, aware at the time, because I have previously experienced a tone in my ears, similar to an electrical transformer noise. I have heard this tone several times during 2005, and, on each occasion, experienced a sighting of some kind. At 11.30pm on Thursday 27th March 2008, I was in the rear upper bedroom to my sisters house, getting changed into my pyjamas for bed, when, I began to experience a loud tone in my ears, as above. I looked out of the window skywards, and, noticed to the upper right edge of the window, that a small black orb or balloon like object about 10 feet across, was descending from about 50 feet up, towards our rear garden. It came from the east, and, descended slowly at about 5mph, at a 45 degree angle, into the centre of the garden, which is grassy and open. The object settled down. I then ran down stairs to the rear door, which, is a two pane UPVC double glazed unit, with full length side windows. As I approached the door, I looked down, and saw a small entity, about 2 feet tall, at the rear door, looking inwards at me. It was a fleshy brown in colour, had the body of a young child in appearance, but, had an enlarged head, with a deeply furrowed brow, similar to an elderly person or a worried person. it had two small eyes a conventional childlike nose and ears and mouth. What struck me, was the foetal like appearance of the body, with the elderly appearing features of the large head, superimposed upon it.As I approached the door, the entity suddenly turned away from the door, ran up the path and absorbed into the balloon orb- like object. This then raised up off the ground and lifted off vertically at about 5mph. I watched it until it was no longer visible against the starlit sky. Best regards, John S*******

Angels & Airwaves Concert (orbs)

On Saturday 12th April 2008 I had the great oppertunity of meeting the band Angels & Airwaves from California. Front man and former Blink 182 member Thomas Delonge Has had a very keen interest with the UFO subject for many years and seen many Naval Intelegence papers, he has also had a contact who worked on BLACK PROJECTS.

Mr Delonge received a copy of BUFOG's DVD 'The Midlands Incident...the evidence so far' and his reply was " WOW, thank you so much."
During the concert I was able to take some photos and stranely enough we captured many orbs on the images. Angels & Airwaves mission is to change the vision of the world and the way we look at it, they always finish their shows with the same speech " You can be anything you want, You can do anything you want and with this vision we can change the world." They truly are a very spiritual lifting group and their vision to change is approached in a direction no other band has attemped to try. With Angels & Airwaves and Robbie Williams interest in this subject, it seems as though the celebs are making a shift in this direction to bring the public awarness to the arena.

The Belgium UFO Wave

Of all the reports of UFO sightings, some of the most intriguing ones are those which come in flaps, or waves, have multiple witnesses, and photographs. One of the most heralded cases of this type was the Belgian flap which began in November of 1989. The events of November 29 would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft made not a sound as it slowly, fearlessly, moved across the landscape of Belgium. There was free sharing of information as the Belgian populace tracked this craft as it moved from the town of Liege to the border of the Netherlands and Germany.
This first startling sighting would evolve into a wave over the next several months. On two occasions, a pair of F-16 fighters chased the mysterious object, but to no avail. On March 30, 1990, a frantic call to military headquarters came from a Belgian national police Captain. He marveled at a giant triangle passing over, and simultaneously two ground radar stations were reporting an object of unknown origin on their screens. One of these bases was NATO controlled near the city of Glons, southeast of Brussels. After contacting other radar facilities, they learned that at least four other stations were also reporting the object on their screens. The object was moving across their screens slowly, and failed to send a transponder signal to identify itself.

Two F-16s were ordered to intercept and identify this phenomena, and one of the jet's radars locked the object in. It appeared as a small diamond on the pilot's screen. The pilot reported that only a few seconds after locking on the target, the object began to pick up speed, quickly moving out of radar range. An hour long chase ensued, during which time the F-16s picked up the strange craft's signal two additional times, only to see it fade from view. The triangular craft seemed to be playing a cat and mouse game, and finally was lost in the night lights of Brussels. The pilots of the fighters reported that the UFO had made maneuvers at speeds beyond the capability of their technology, and once the radar showed the craft almost instantly drop from 10,000 to 500 feet in 5 seconds!
The extraordinary sightings continued for months as the triangular invader was witnessed more than 1,000 times, both day and night. The object dipped low enough to easily be seen with the naked eye, and the event became one of the biggest stories in the Belgian media. Another unusual occurrence associated with the Belgian flap was the inability to take a clear photograph of it. Many observers had their cameras ready, and took what they thought would be clear images, but when the film was developed, the image was blurred, and the craft's outline was vague at best. This anomaly was addressed by physics professor Auguste Meessen, who was employed by the Catholic University at Louvin. Meessen's investigation produced a theory that infrared light must be the reason that almost all the images were unclear. To put his theory to test, he exposed film to infrared, then photographed objects in regular light. The results were the same as the photographs of the triangle-shaped UFO.
One good image was finally captured on video tape in April 1990. This image showed the underbelly of the craft with spotlights on the three corners. A still frame from this tape has been seen world-wide, and is a classic UFO photograph. The Belgium wave has obtained classic status in UFO lore. With over 1,000 witnesses, confirmed radar sightings, plane radar lock-ins, and military confirmations, the fact that an unknown craft moved across the country of Belgium cannot be denied. The case is also important for it's unique information sharing. Civilian and Military officials were forthcoming with the reports, and set a model for others to follow in their pursuit to uncover the mystery behind the UFO enigma.

RAF intelligence officer J. B. W.

October, 1967, British Officer "Angus" Brooks Encounters UFO
Probably the most famous UFO sighting during the British wave of 1967 was the report by former RAF intelligence officer J. B. W. 'Angus' Brooks.While walking his dogs in the early morning of 26 October at Moigne Downs in Dorset, he witnessed an object descending at phenomenal speed before abruptly levelling out at a height of approximately 250 feet, some quarter of a mile from where he was positioned.Brooks described the object as a central circular body with a leading fuselage in the front and three separate fuselages at the rear. During the period of observation the three rear fuselages moved so that with the fourth fuselage they formed a cross shape. Brooks reported no obvious power units or noise and despite a very strong wind, up to Force 8, the object apparently remained motionless for over twenty minutes.During the encounter one of Angus Brooks' dogs, an Alsatian, was very distraught and frantically pawed at him, disobeying his commands to sit.A team of researchers from the Ministry of Defence, Dr John Dickinson of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Leslie Akhurst from S4 (Air) and Alec Cassie, a psychologist, interviewed Mr Brooks and offered their explanation; he had seen a vitreous floater, i.e. dead matter in the fluid of his eyeball, the sighting of which had become dramatic due to Brooks' falling asleep or entering a near sleep state and dreaming.Brooks seems to have been less than impressed with the MOD's explanation and not least the idea that he had dozed off to sleep during a Force 8 gale with an Alsatian clawing at him.source:http://www.nicap.org/ar-671026se.htmhttp://www.mufor.org/database/clas67.htmlRAF

UFO Flap August 2004

Mini UFO Flap August 2004For those who remember August

2004 in the UK, you'll recall it was cool, wet and thundery, but for Staffordshire UFO Group it was an eventful time. From the start of that month we had been made aware of a sighting by a retired RAF Engineer of an orange ball of light late one night in the area of Cannock. Events took a sudden turn on Saturday 7th when a call was received again from Cannock at 9:55pm. The witness described an orange ball of light seen at around 9:40pm which was silent and stationary with an unusual triangular shaped pattern in its centre. The object hung in the sky for several seconds before shooting away at high speed. The following day more reports came in describing a similar object either shooting across the sky or remaining stationary for short periods.Now statements have been analysed, it is now possible to ascertain that the first sighting occurred in Perton near Wolverhampton at 4:20pm where video footage was taken of 6 silver objects high in the sky in two 'V' shaped formations. Analysis of this footage indicates that the objects are not wind borne with some unusual anomalies that are still being analysed. The second report comes from Shenstone at 5.45pm (again in daylight) of a bluey/white light. Subsequent reports were received from Stafford and Millford of an orange ball of light at around 9:20pm. A photograph was taken at Shugborough Hall showing a curious orb of which the photographer was unaware. Sightings of this orange ball of light often described as having something at its centre were then seen between Stafford and Cannock and later in the areas of Shenstone and Lichfield up until the early hours of the 8th August where again video footage was taken at 2am on the 8th .The strangest thing about these sightings is the shear number of reports that were received, not just from the night time but daytime also. In addition, two independent video recordings were made of both the daytime objects and the orange ball of light. Also two individual photographs were taken, one from Millford, the other in Shenstone.In conclusion and notwithstanding the fact that research is incomplete, the sightings have proved beyond any shadow of doubt that people were witnessing something. The photo and video footage will never prove that the objects witnessed were extraterrestrial but the body of witness testimony adds credence to the evidence surrounding the facts: 'something did happen, something was photographed', ‘something was out there.’The investigation will continue!source:Graham Allen (SUFOG)Staffordshire UFO GroupNote: The still is from footage taken at approx 2am 8th August 2004 in Lichfield, Staffordshire,

4-28-99A passenger jet's

LondonFrom Gerry Lovell 4-28-99A passenger jet's crew

have reported a close encounter with an unidentified flying object.They said that they noticed an "incandescent" light below their Debonair BAe 146 as it headed over the North Sea from Sweden to Humberside.Then, they added, a long cylindrical silver-coloured object the size of a battleship flew alongside. The British plane's shocked captain saw what seemed to be rows of square portholes on the UFO before it vanished at "enormous speed".The crew told the Defence Ministry about their sighting. An RAF radar station tracked the object, which was seen from three other planes.Extraordinary UFO Film Taken In UNITED KINGDOMThe following sighting report with video was sent exclusively to the UFO Casebook, USA. The information was shared with UFO Casebook Field Investigator Michael, who resides in the United Kingdom.The video files that are shown here were taken in Leyland, Lancashire, U. K. The film was made between 16:15 and 17:05 hours on 16 Nov 2003. The videographer Martin H. has sent very impressive film before to the UFO Casebook. Our field investigator has found him to be an honest and sincere man who is not in any way or form attemptimg to perpetuate a hoax or initiate a joke. He has never asked for any monies for his film, but has sent digital video files through the internet, and also hand given physical video tape for free use for study. The video film in its entirety is 8:13 long; is in the Windows Media format (.wmv) and is 25.15 megabytes. A sample clip of film is enclosed for your study. Below is Martin's description of how the taking of the video film in question transpired.I decided to have a look at the early evening sky, camcorder at ready just in case. At about 16:15, I first spotted the unknown object quite a way off in the distance (through binoculars and spotting scope). It took me around 20 minutes before I could zoom in with the camcorder to start filming. The sky was quite clear with just a few wispy clouds here and there. The distance is quite difficult to judge but I would say that the object is possibly around 10 to 15 miles away. I was on my own this time with no other witnesses and with the distance involved, I couldn't hear any sound emanating from the object. All in all, I managed to film around 20 or so minutes before the object disappeared behind a cloud in the distance. The object went behind the cloud at around 17:05.Martin H.UFO CasebookLeyland, Lancashire, U.K. Sightings, August 2002Note:

.Leyland, Lancashire, United Kingdom.Tuesday 20th August 2002The UFO Casebook has received a compelling account of several sightings of an anomalous object which was videotaped in Leyland, Lancashire, United Kingdom. The witness has given a detailed account of these sightings, and sent along several extraordinary video clips of two unique unknown flying objects, which appear to interact with one another. There were also two corroborating witnesses to the sightings. At least for the time being, the main witness will go by the name of Martin H.My girlfriend and I were doing the evening dishes in the kitchen when she spotted what looked like a bright star in the early evening sky. She pointed this out to me and it being early evening about 20:20 hours, there were no other stars visible. I ran upstairs and grabbed my camcorder (Sony with 80X digital zoom) After several attempts I finally managed to zoom in on the object. When I looked at it, I couldn't believe my eyes.I zoomed in for a 4th time but this time with the camera recording and just after I had zoomed in, a black/grey saucer shaped craft moved from left to right behind the UFO which I had originally followed. This was only for a few seconds. I then returned my focus to the main object. It was an oval shape with a green metallic top and red bottom and the middle of the object seemed like an extremely bright plasma light which pulsated every now and then.The object was moving quite slowly and deliberately. I carried on filming until the object finally disappeared behind the roofline of a row of houses at the back. I would say that the object was approximately 20 miles away heading over towards the Irish sea somewhere between Blackpool and Southport. I checked the local media out for the following few days but couldn't find any reference to any other reports that week. There were no other aircraft (Military or otherwise) in the area and because of the distance involved I couldn't hear any sound emanating from the object.I filmed the whole sequence from an upstairs bedroom window, my girlfriend could only see what appeared to be a very bright slowly moving star, as she was looking at it with the naked eye. A rough estimate regarding the height; I think it started out at approx. 3 to 4 thousand feet and looked like it descended to approx. 2 to 2 and a half thousand feet.Sunday 26th August 2002I had telephoned my brother (along with a whole host of friends) to tell them about the UFOs I had filmed, and my brother came around on the Sunday to view the video. After watching the video we went out into the back garden for some fresh air and I pointed out the area where I had filmed the objects adding that the evening sky looked exactly the same as it did then. I joked with my brother saying that I had a feeling that the object would come back again.I was just about to go back inside when I spotted it again, I couldn't believe my luck and I don't think my brother could quite believe it either. I rushed inside and grabbed a pair of binoculars for my brother so he could continue to view it from the back garden, I had the camcorder set up in no time at all and managed to film 25 minutes. Approximately 14 minutes into the filming my brother shouted up asking if I had the object in view."Why? I asked.""Because there is something approaching the object," he exclaimed excitedly.From left to right a cigar shaped craft slowly passed behind the object, which I followed until it began to fade. Then I went back to the main object. After it had disappeared behind the roofline, we immediately set up and watched the film all the way through and couldn't believe it when the cigar shaped object appeared.Testimony of brother, Andrew H.I went to Martin's house with the sole purpose of viewing the video tape of the first sighting that he had. When we had finished, we went outside as it was a warm evening. Suddenly, the object appeared again. I didn't want to take my eyes off it, so my brother went inside for some binoculars for me so that I could have a closer look.What I saw amazed me. It was a very bright and slow moving object which pulsed at regular intervals. We observed it for quite a while, during which time it was approached by a smaller grey object which seemed to fly past it at great speed before disappearing totally from sight.I was a little sceptical before that day, but I now know there is another world out there.Kind regards, Andy H.During the following few weeks I managed to film the object two more times and have approximately 1 to 2 hours of video. I have seen UFOs before in Holland (Where I used to live) and in Croatia (On holiday) but didn't have a camcorder until quite recently.Lancashire has quite a rich history regarding UFOs and just recently I have on 3 separate occasions spotted a different sort of UFO which only seems to appear for a few seconds before vanishing completely...I am going to set up my camcorder to film the area of sky involved and see what develops.(Martin H.)2004-Unknown Object Filmed Near Sunderland, in U KDate - June, 2004, Location-Small Town near city of Sunderland (UK)-Time - 21:30pm, Shape - Light Ball, Direction - Toward ground came from the South, Temp - 10-15 degreesAccount of the Sighting - I was walking my dog late at night in June, 2004 cannot remember exact date. I was walking toward the entrance of my street when I saw in a south direction a Light Ball coming toward me it was far away from my location I looked at it and thought it was just a helicopter because we do sometimes get many helicopters in my area.I did not take much notice of it. I then got to the entrance of my street the light was getting closer the motion of the light was very slow but I noticed something that ruled out the possibility of it being a helicopter because there was no sound and it's not normal for helicopters to be silent. I carried on going down my street and just looked on at the craft coming towards me. I got to the house and the light was nearly to my location.I put the dog in my house and looked up at the object, at this time I knew I had to do something, so I went inside very quickly and got my camera. On the way to get my camera I alerted my parents and said there was a UFO. I don't think they heard me I said it so quick. I rushed out and the light was above my house and as I took a picture the object, it blasted downwards and left a small light trail. I went back inside and my parents were still downstairs (my house has two floors but you enter the top floor first and then as you go in there are stairs going down).I asked my parents to come and take a look at my picture and they were amazed at what was on the picture. I have enclosed the picture of the light. It's a really good close up picture and you can really see what I saw was so strange.Thanks a lot to Sam for sending us his report and photograph.Eyewitness report, Sam Willeysource and references:Report & Photographs © Sam WilleyStaffordshire

UFO sightings were hushed up

Boulmer reports of UFO sightings were hushed up,

July 1977Boulmer reports of UFO sightings were hushed up, July 1977 THE X-Files came to RAF Boulmer as strange flying objects were spotted hovering over the North Sea by a fighter pilot at the base. In a case that would intrigue TV’s Mulder and Scully, bright objects were spotted by RAF staff in 1977. They changed shape as they watched.So sensitive was the sighting that all records of it were hidden from public gaze and have only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). It was stored in the Ministry of Defence’s “possible extra-terrestrial contact” department, known only by the code name SF4. It is one of many sightings listed by the Government where credible witnesses, such as military staff, policemen and airline pilots, have reported UFOs.The drama started in July 1977, when Flight Lieutenant AM Wood reported seeing the objects, saying the nearest was luminous, round and four to five times the size of a Whirlwind helicopter. The two possible UFOs were seen hovering at a height of around 5,000 feet and were three miles out to sea.His report is backed by those of Corporal Torrington and Sergeant Graham, who say the objects parted, with one going west and changing shape as it went. The objects, with one then looking body shaped, were watched by the three men for one hour and 40 minutes. A radar station at the base also picked up the objects in the same position before they vanished.Checks were made to RAF West Drayton to see if it had spotted them. Flt Lt Wood is described as “reliable and sober” in the report, which adds that radar staff at RAF Staxton Wold also picked up the strange objects. The RAF Boulmer report was deemed so sensitive that instead of being released to the public 25 years later as normal a further three-year ban was imposed. It is only because of the FOI Act, which came into force on January 1, that the case was reviewed and the details declassified.Other released reports show that fighters were scrambled in July 1976 when a British Airways pilot reported strange, white cigar-shaped objects over Portugal. Nearer to home Chief Supt Hobson, of Manchester Police, watched a bright light for two minutes and followed it along the A62 on July 3, 1976. The reports will add to UFO hunters’ belief that governments have deliberately stayed silent on possible visits by space craft over the years.source:http://www.northumberlandtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=1117&ArticleID=9306331979-Dechmont Woods-

UFO Crash: Llandrillo, Wales, UK

(Berwyn Mts.) 1974
On the 23rd of January, 1974, an extraordinary event took place in Llandrillo, North Wales, United Kingdom. On a winter's night, a great terrible noise was heard by many of the village, and the first thing that came to mind was that there had been an explosion of some type. As some of the villagers went outside to see what had occurred, they were amazed by the scene of blue and orange lights near the mountain of Cader Bronwen. From witness statements, and the next day's press, came this explanation, "There was a huge explosion a few minutes after 8:30 P. M. From various accounts, this preceded, some say by up to two or three minutes, a violent shaking of the ground, like a medium-sized earthquake - objects inside houses were knocked off shelves." In a very similar scenario to the Kecksburg crash, authorities rushed to the scene; police first, followed by Royal Air Force personnel. Immediately, the area around the crash was cordoned off with nobody allowed to enter. This operation seemed like overkill; the area being so remote, and uninhabited. This search and rescue lasted for several days in the Berwyn Mountains. One witness, who was working at a hotel in Bala, stated that a group of men had arrived at the hotel, and stayed several days. They were involved in the operations at the crash site, but refused to answer any questions about the activities there. One of the most compelling accounts of the events in Wales came from a lady who was a nurse living at Llanderfel. She was asked by local police to assist in a plane crash near her house. Gathering her things together, and not having any one to watch her teenage daughters, she took them with her to the location given by the police. She was driving on B4391, which goes from Bala to Llangynog. The road was nearly deserted, being at 10:00 PM on a cold, wintry night. As she proceeded up into the mountains, she was astonished at what she saw next... There was an object "quite intact" which was large, circular, and glowing an orange color. Her and her two daughters were within a few hundred feet of it. She could not be mistaken at what she saw, a UFO. She could also see police and military personnel, which were much closer to the UFO. They instructed her to leave the area, even after she explained why she was there. Afraid for her and her daughter's safety, she left without argument. Authorities escorted her from the site. The roads around the site of the unusual object stayed closed for a number of days afterwards. The nurse talked to some of the local shepherds who complained that they were not even allowed to tend their flocks. She and others were convinced of a military and governmental cover up of what really happened on January 23, 1974 near the Berwyn Mountains. Was the explosion a mechanical failure of the orange glowing craft, or did another UFO crash. Will we ever know? (B J Booth) source and references: http://www.cseti.org/crashes/047.htm

Being a UFO investigator

Filmed in London?Being a UFO investigator,

and in communication with a lot of people all over the world, at times I get a story that is just too good to be true. In my opinion, the following is one of those. But you can be your own judge. The story itself is believable, yet the accompanying pictures are the "too good to be true" part of the account. The pictures are said to be still frame captures from video cassette, and they are certainly good enough for everyone to at least have a look at them. According to the anonymous sender, this is what happened.London, England, 1999:Mr. Unknown was awakened sometime in the middle of the night by the louder than usual sounds of his neighbor's dog. Being shaken from slumber, he had a very strange feeling, either from something odd going on outside, or the remnant of a bad dream. To rule out the former, he took a walk outside to see if he could pinpoint the cause of the dog's heightened state of alarm. He was immediately drawn to a strange light in the sky. The light seemed to emanate from three spots, the brightest being in front of two others behind it, creating a triangular shape. He was staring at a triangle-shaped UFO.(click on picture to see full-size image)Mr. Unknown sped back into the house and grabbed his video camera. He was hoping to film the UFO before it disappeared, but instead he filmed what he claimed to be a type of small, ghost-like beings who seemed to be rummaging around behind his fence. The total length of the film was about four (4) minutes. The strange beings made a sound which was barely audible, and somewhat muffled. The sounds of the small beings had attracted him to the area. Mr. Unknown was frank in stating that he was a student of the Paranormal, and had experienced strange occurrences before. If any further information becomes available, I will add it here.British Charter Jet Encounters 'Battleship Size' UFO - Pilot,Crew In ShockA British charter jet has had a close encounter with a UFO said to be "the size of a battleship."The shocked pilot and crew of a Debonair BAe146 plane reported being buzzed by "a long cylindrical object" as they flew over the North Sea. Three other pilots have also independently logged seeing the bright object 58 miles off the coast of Denmark.Last night the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed a comprehensive report of the pilot's sighting had been received. The report says the captain and crew first became aware of the object after the underside of the plane was immersed in "an incandescent light".A CAA spokeswoman said: "The captain reported seeing an unnatural bright light below his aircraft while flying at 28,000ft. The area below him was illuminated for about 10 seconds by incandescent light and it was certainly not a light from another plane."Three other aircraft saw it moving at a high speed or static. However, air traffic control were informed and they confirmed that there were no other planes in the vicinity."Then, five minutes later, there was a brief radar return from a spot 75 miles away. We believe there was no danger involved." The Luton-based 96-seater plane was flying company executives from Linkoping, Sweden, to Humberside airport. A spokesman for Debonair, which runs cut-price flights throughout Europe, said chief executive Franco Mancassola had been informed that a "great red light in the sky" had been spotted near one of the company's planes. At one stage, the report says, the object came to an abrupt halt before accelerating past the airliner at thousands of miles an hour.A CAA source says the object was tracked by a military radar station in Yorkshire after it entered UK air space.A spokesman for the 6,000 member British Pilots Association said: "We get reports of this nature from our members but they are few and far between."In the past 10 years or so I would say there have been around six cases of UFO's being sighted."Many pilots are reluctant to make such claims because it tends to lay them open to ridicule. So when they do go as far as making a report we do expect it to be given credence."A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence insisted there were no military aircraft in the area adding: "We saw nothing." © Express Newspapers LtdBy Simon BirdDaily Express (UK)From Mark Hall4-28-99The Mirror -

Alan Godfrey abduction

November 28, 1980From U-K.

ufologist Jenny RandlesIn November and December 1980, the eastern side of Britain was experiencing a major UFO sighting wave. There were chases of UFOs by police cars near the coast, a UFO that overflew an oil rig in the North Sea, and the wave culminated in the famous events on the East Anglian coast at Rendlesham Forest. Just a month before these landings beside those NATO air bases, one of the most impressive alien abduction cases took place in the small Penninemill town of Todmorden, West Yorkshire, right in the centre of Britain's most active window area known locally as "UFO Alley".Police Constable Alan Godfrey was on patrol on the night of 28 November 1980. Just before dawn he drove along Burnley Road on the edge of Todmorden looking for some cows that had been reported missing. They were only found after sun-up, mysteriously relocated in a rain-soaked field without hoofmarks to indicate their passage.Giving up his nocturnal hunt, Godfrey was about to go back to base to sign off duty when he saw a large mass a few hundred yards ahead. At first, he thought it was a bus coming towards him that took workers to their jobs in town and that he knew passed about 5:00 a.m. But as he approached, he realized that it was something very strange. It was a fuzzy oval that rotated at such speed and hovered so low over the otherwise deserted highway that it was causing the bushes by the side to shake. The police officer stopped, propped onto his windscreen a pad that was in the patrol car to make sketches of any road accidents, and drew the UFO. Then there was a burst of light, and the next thing he knew he was driving his car again, further along Burnley Road, with no sign of the UFO.Godfrey turned around and examined the spot where the UFO had hovered. The road was very wet as it had rained heavily earlier in the night. But just at this one location was a circular patch where the roadway had been dried in a swirled pattern. Only when back at the police station did he realise that it was a little later than he had expected - although any missing time was probably no greater than 15 minutes from estimates later taken on site.Concerned as to possible ridicule, Godfrey at first chose not to make an official report, but changed his mind later that day when he discovered he was not alone. After breakfast that morning, a driver who had been on Burnley Road three miles further out at Cliviger reported seeing a brilliant white object and contacted Todmorden police. The time matched that of Alan Godfrey's. Furthermore, a police patrol from an adjacent force (Halifax) had been engaged in a stakeout for stolen motorcycles on the moors of the Calder Valley and had witnessed a brilliant blue-white glow descending into the valley towards Todmorden shortly before Godfrey experienced his close encounter. Their story, when it reached Todmorden police station, formed a second match.Encouraged by this news Godfrey filed an official report, but was surprised when police chose to release the story to the local newspaper the following week. From here, UFOlogists discovered the case and a lengthy investigation was mounted by a Manchester-based UFO group.Although Alan Godfrey had no further conscious recall of the missing time, he did have increasingly confused memory of the sequence of events surrounding the sighting (with an unexplained image of seeing himself outside the car during the sighting). There was also puzzling physical evidence.His police-issue boots were split on the sole, as if he had been dragged along the floor and they had caught on something. He also reported a previous history of seeing other strange things and having experienced at least one earlier time lapse as a youth—factors that UFOlogists have come to recognise as common with abduction cases.When sure that all conscious testimony had been recorded, Godfrey agreed to be hypnotically regressed by a Manchester psychiatrist eight months after the incident. He eventually had several other sessions with different therapists, and his recall in later sessions was video-taped. The doctor refused permission to the UFO group for the first session to be recorded.The hypnotic testimony is very odd, and Godfrey was never to be sure what really happened. Under regression he told of the bright light stopping the car engine, causing his radio and police handset both to be filled with static and then to be swamped by blinding light as he lost consciousness. His next recall was of being inside a strange room, more like a house than a spaceship, complete with a most unexpected large black dog. He was studied by a heavily bearded man who telepathically conveyed that his name was "Yosef" and whose clothing was very Biblical in nature. Assisting Yosef were several small robot-like creatures "the size of a five-year-old lad" and with "a head shaped like a lamp". They are reminiscent of the "Grays" of UFO lore; although with major differences.Godfrey was supposedly asked questions, told that he "knew" Josef, and was promised a later encounter. But apparently he was not subjected to the more familiar indignities of abduction stories (especially from the US), such as bodily fluid samples and rectal probes. Although there were periods of missing memory, the hypnotic recall that did emerge was a curious hybrid of mythic images, UFO case elements and dream like sequences.When asked his opinion as to the reality status of this hypnotic testimony, Alan Godfrey was refreshingly honest. He told me he was certain that the UFO encounter was real, but he could not determine whether the story offered by hypnosis was a dream, a fantasy, reality, or a mixture of all three.Unhappily, Alan Godfrey suffered terribly after this encounter. When I first wrote up the investigation (just before the regression hypnosis began) for Flying Saucer Review magazine in l981, I deliberately changed his identity to help protect him; although this was probably futile because the story had already been featured in the local press under Godfrey's real name.However, despite my refusal to assist them, a tabloid reporter traced the witness and devoted a front-page banner headline article to the story — read by millions over the Sunday lunch—which led to the officer being called to explain himself before his superiors. He was forced to undergo medical investigation to determine his "status", but was pronounced psychologically fit and healthy. Yet after some years feeling that he would never be allowed to forget his sighting, he took advice to honorably resign over an unrelated physical injury incurred during an incident in which he bravely intervened to avert a crime.Todmorden, both before 1980 and in the years since, has been a hotbed of alien contact activity with several other major encounters having been investigated, including another abduction of a truck driver from Burnley Road only a little further out of Todmorden and on the same highway.written by...

Derbyshire Abduction

25/1/08 DERBYSHIRE
Name: John XXXXXXX
Subject: Various UFO / ET encounters

I am writing to you to disclose a number of unusual ET and UFO / RV experiences I have had over the course of my life. I have agglomerated a number of emails to fully explain the matter. I’ve had some experiences in the Remote Viewing area but it has led to a lot of problems with the English authorities and I need some timely advice and help I’ve also had a considerable number of personal ET events relating to my past. I was born on XX XXXXXX1962 and have travelled widely in my childhood about Western Europe as my father was in the British military. 1964- I was playing as a baby in a sandpit and was seen by others to secondarily disappear and then reappear again 1966- I was sent to Oslo Norway and whilst on the Voyage there on the Fred-Olson cargo liner, Brae mar we encountered a near terminal storm and the captain moved me and mum to his cabin and we arrived in port a bit battered but ok. My parents befriended the XXXXXX family, Olaf XXXXXX was a ships inspector, mainly inspecting hulls, and his son, Henrich was a Sergeant in the Norsk Forces when I last visited their long ship house, in November 1987. During the 1960's we lived in XXXXXXX in Hoveseter, My parents were also friendly with a Mrs Turid from Hoveseter. A suburb of Oslo and my father was personal chef to General XXXXXXX at his private house on Kolssas. My worst experience was of seeing one of the twin spikes burnt out during what turned out to be its final voyage, my dad took me down to Oslo docks to see the aftermath and its image disturbs me still. I lost contact in the 1990's 1970- Whilst father was stationed in Whittington barracks, near Litchfield in Staffordshire I was reading a book late at night in my bedroom by sidelight when the closed doors handle creaked and in walked some dwarf like entities a bit like those in Whitley Striebers film "Communion”, they took me by the hand and led me downstairs towards the front house door, and there my memory ends. 1975- Whilst returning from holiday on the islands off the Dutch coast the sun set to one side of the car we were travelling in, after dark on the opposite side I saw a massive red flattened disc flat side on which I watched for about 3 minutes, when I turned away from it and returned my gaze it had gone. 1977- I began to get a lot of precognition relating to events at school as well as dejavue experiences and several "out of body" experiences. I.e. floating above my family ethereally and waving at them from the ceiling, knowing exactly which passage in which text book the English teacher would select for me to read and being there ready and waiting to read it! And then there’s a gap to 2000 during which I had no experiences I can remember. December 2000, whilst on standing at my front doorstep several witnesses and myself saw several green orbs flying in and out of clouds above a nearby village. Summer 2003- I saw a brown cigar shaped object move at massive speed in front of our house, it had no wings or tail plane but left a contrail. 28th February 2004- our collie cross dog had some kind of problem and attacked me badly resulting in me throwing a boot at it, which cracked the wooden veneer on my bedroom door. That night I had many paranormal events. I heard scraping on my bedroom window and saw a green "holistic" entity shaped like a snowman with two orbit in a bullet shaped head and an ellipse above it like a mouth but pure black. I shone a torch at it and the light absorbed into it a bit like light on velvet. Spring 2004 to present. I got several air spirits and entities appearing or trying to appear in my bedroom by "shimmering" the air, which smelt like sulphur. They were various shaped like ball heads, greys, T heads and V heads and one which was like a thick set T head with brown black and milky white stripes on it. I also began to remote view historical battles from English history and WW2 and had a vision of the Praetorian Guard saluting me and a wife in Rome. I focussed on several women I was interested in and was able to see "sepia" images of them and hear them in mundane circumstances, egg, walking a dog talking to a friend, but in one case a woman was being "had" badly by a guy which made me angry so I tried to materialise a icicle over his back, but it turned into a lighting bolt and there the image ended. Vie also focussed on the Isle De Paris and a pagoda as well as American submarines under water and a Russian IRBM in a white missile casing on a mobile-tracked transporters in some kind of tundra environment. I began to get images of Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal skulls floating in space broadcasting to each other and saw an FT flying above my house at dawn and then had future images of circular space stations like some kind of cartwheel and ships in the galaxy shaped like a wood workers drill with a spinning circular mid section like a saucer, as well as a massive dished space probe passing Jupiter. I’ve had my legs thrown across my bed whilst awake and had a big electric shack to my "bits" materialise like a blue beam. And have seen a glowing white rod approach me in the dark, making a buzzing noise, ive also been lifted a few inches out of bed but when I come too I drop again. I’m alerted to "their" presence" by a loud buzzing, whistle in my ears its like an early warning system. The problem is my mother has found out about these events and the medical authorities are hostile to me, and ive had police harassment despite a very clean record! I.e. no convictions at all. Except a speeding ticket in 1987. One previous event that strikes me as odd in all respects relates to Early March this year when I was relaxing in bed and noticed that the air in the room was taking on a sulphur type of smell which wasn’t particularly pleasant so I opened the bedroom window one notch. I heard tapping on the window and pulled back the curtains to see 2 milky white ball headed rounded orbit entities on the path to the rear of the bungalow, one was looking at the window and the other had its backed partially turned to me and appeared to be scraping the green matter from the concrete path (bearing in mind the time of year you tend to get this growth on concrete when its not heavily trafficked). I closed the window and checked around the rest of the house for entranceways viz a viz-opened windows etc. I then went back to the bedroom and perched on the beds edge listening for movement around windows doors etc, and again noticed the atmosphere was sulphur, then as I lay back on the bed I saw in the mirror a grey like entity or apparition suddenly attempt to materialise next to the bed, I jerked out my arm and swiped the air where it was attempting to appear and it simply dissolved, 2 minutes later a strange T headed entity did the same thing and I had the same reaction, yet they appeared very 2 dimensional and had a kind of "raw" cut edge to them as if they were an imperfect cardboard cut-out. This T headed thing was in colour and was brick red with milky white and black stripes all over and had 2 orbits towards the ends of its "head", this is the day when at dawn I witnessed an FT over the place which again appeared semi solid and was "suspended" in the lower portion of a large cloud, bearing in mind it was a gloomy dawn. The thing is, its almost as if these things were pre-programmed to appear at this time in the sense that I was "meant" to see them at that time. The ft was sort of "spraying" or marking cars on the road as they went by with a kind of "ray" like a waterspout rather than the classic sci-fi ray device! It was "illuminating cars roof panels, but not all of them. Perhaps it is pertinent to fill you in with some background information about my family. My father had many episodes of sleepwalking whilst he was a child and well into his teenage years and would find himself awake in nearby fields and in garden sheds. He has also seen several LITS. My mother hasn’t mentioned any events, but her maiden name is XXXXX , whose ancient form translates as "devils reaper" (Baeler). My sister XXXXXX, has a friend called Catherine (both names mean the same) and they often used to lay on her bed and try to materialise air spirits and ancestors. In terms of gene pool type we are an uneasy mix of old Derbyshire and Saxon Nordic Lincolnshire blood. One house we used to own was reputedly built from the remains of South Wingfield Manor which was bombarded and was temporarily used as a holding castle for Mary Queen of Scots before her transfer to the Tower of London in the South and several of my mothers family have died in the old house called, "Prospect house" XXXXX Road, South XXXXXXXXX, Derbyshire. When I lived there I had several instances of hearing creaks and footsteps on the stairs when the rest of the family had gone to bed, but never saw anything, although the stables behind Prospect House was used by the plotters in the Pentrich Revolution of 1817 to meet up in, as was the house itself. In March last year I looked out of my bedroom window and saw a star which I was unfamiliar with shine a beam of light down at the old house and stable block and then dissipate. At midnight in January 2005 I was driving back from visiting a friend in a nearby village when I took a short cut down XXXXXXXXX Lane, an old road, and looked left downhill only to see a bright blue glow coming from a hollow in a nearby field which was pretty big, but didn’t see anything solid, but the land is fallow and there would be no farm traffic at midnight on a Saturday night. It was eerie. Whilst in a local pub, called "The XXXXXX", at XXXXXXXXXXX, I was concentrating on a mirror when a glass bottle picked itself up from a shelf unaided and hovered in the air before falling to the floor unbroken, although I suspect a barmaid may have been involved in that one as I think they are into a bit of cursing and witching. One night coming back from this pub after consuming only a couple of cola's I heard footsteps behind me on our access road to our house which is on the path of a N-S roman road when I turned around there was nobody there yet the footsteps continued past me in the dark. I swear there was nothing there. My current address, 4 XXXXXXXXX Close, XXXXXXXXXXX, Derbyshire DEXX XXX. Is built on an east west axis whilst the remains of the pathway of a Roman Road called XXXXXXX Street runs through next doors house and a path of a former medieval track way runs through ours. I think we are also on a north south ley-line. With regards to my comments about the police I am in quite a strange position really as I am a civilian support staff member of the local constabulary, basically im a form of uniformed civil servant. As to the strange incidents with them, In March 2004 I purchased a new car, but soon saw police hanging around it scratching it at work and between 2am and 4am at home, they’ve made the paint finish a real mess and ive had threats to me to quit my interest in ufo's and paranormal events, quite serious threats. Which is bizarre. Also ive had incidents were I have been out late at night and followed by traffic division patrol cars for no apparent reason. One incident with the police's new German built helicopter comes to mind: I was out on the porch one night and it came along and shone its searchlight straight at me, then highlighted 2 areas of open land in fields nearby, soon after this event at 5am on a Novembers frosty morning in 2004 I saw a pulsating white halo like light at the edge of the same area pinpointed by the helicopter, the light was pulsating and was on the ground next to a copse. I shone my high power torch at it bit it had no effect, after a while the light faded away. I thought maybe it was badger baiters or "lampers" after rabbits, but in November at 5am? With a deep frost on the ground? Perhaps I also should mention that I had a long birth and can actually remember being born. I recall being on my side passing down a long "tube" with red and yellow fluid passing by, when I was born I had my eyes open beneath a very thin veil of skin which stretched from my forehead to my nose. My mum has kept the thin veil of skin on backing. Also despite mum having auburn hair and father having dark black curly hair both my sister and myself are dark blonds, at times I have been golden blond, but now its dull. I have not had many events occur recently, although late at night there are odd taps on my window, although I live on the ground floor in a bungalow. I think a lot of the apparitions which occurred are "air spirits", although a few nights ago I was drifting off to sleep I heard a high pitched whistle and felt myself moving out of my physical body toward the bedroom window, I also felt and "saw" with my eyes closed a kind of cloud like apparition emerging in the room and it emitted a kind of pulsing, like rapid knocks. although I was not aware I could do it , my eyes turned towards it and I pulsed it back 5 times, but nowhere nearly as forcefully. I have not had any UFO like experiences recently, well, since March 2005. The only way I feel any need to deal with these experiences is by discussion with experienced ufologists and certainly not with any medical parishioners of any kind, unless it may involve hypnosis, under my father’s supervision. The events began with more intensity in March 2004 and ended in March 2005. They began the day our collie cross dog went a bit barmy and bit me several times precipitating a reaction in me to throw a boot at it which cracked my bedrooms wooden doors veneer. The dog was okay as the boot missed it. This is unusual in many respects. That night I saw apparitions, air spirits and a chain of events relating to earth spirit manifestations outside my bedroom window and the attempted appearance of various unknown alien like forms in an ethereal form within the room. Including a pair of milky white ball eyed forms outside on the path scraping the concrete paving, a green holistic image similar to a snowman with two black orbits and a horizontal ellipse above them, an FT at dawn over the bungalow and some "fairy lights" pulsating in a nearby copse. During a holiday In Tunisia in February this year I saw grey like apparitions trying to materialise in my hotel room and heard some form clattering across balconies and attempt to enter my locked 2nd floor patio window after dark. I was also able to cause a pictogram to appear on the wall opposite my bed I have suffered police related harassment at work and cosmetic paintwork damage to my car apparently with knives. The finish is scratched all over. It was new in March 2004. I see a disproportionate number of police vehicles pass our road, and asked a police friend to PNC check some random car numbers, his results caused concern as 15 from around 30 vehicles checked on XXXXXXXXXXXX Road Oakerthorpe were plain hire vehicles leased out to the police! The other 15 were not checked via PNC. Several locals have commented to me on the number cars and intensity of traffic on this road above the norm and the number of casually dressed pairs of men riding round in metallic Vectras and other brand new vehicles using hand held microphones. I had a look-see in a parked Vectra up here and noticed a Motorola microphone handset in the dash cavity. Motorola was the approved home office supplier of police comms equipment until 2003 when it lost out to SEPURA who I understand are a conglomerate. Several letters addressed to me have gone astray and several parcels intended for me appear to have been tampered with. The Police and DVLA seem obsessed with my driving licence and depriving me of it. This is despite a claim free insurance record recently and no convictions relating to driving, also I am conviction free otherwise. I have no criminal record. They have attempted to induce Rat’s on local roads by driving on my side of the carriageway and parking JCB's around blind bends when ive been out on my now sold motorcycle. There have been innumerable events where 4WD's have attempted to ram me when coming around blind bends on my side of the road. A Warwickshire Police DC approached me in XXXXXX Sainsburys and ordered me to "quit the shit with the ufo's" !! And made a number of further violent threats to me about what could be done to me if I didnt comply. Ive been wanting to relay some possible theories about the ET / UFO phenomenon to you for a while, just see what you think about my perceptions of the state of play. I am not your average "ufo buff" if there is such a thing as I am very sceptical about a lot of what I read, although it does leave a substantial rump of genuine mysteries, some of which are obviously beyond current societal norms, and some of which are clearly Government or collaborative venture matters if I may use such an awkward description. Having a background in degree level postgraduate research which focussed upon rail and air transport and information requirements at airports as well as an Army family background I do tend to ask some "hard" basic "first order" questions about the subject and try to steer clear of "popularised" reports such as Roswell and Rendlesham which in my humble opinion have been "done to death" by many others with a discrete agenda. Indeed Ive been able to clear up a case of LITS in the Leeds area which many swore was a landing UFO which I pretty much instantly recognised as being the nav lights on a B737 which I conjectured was a 737 series 300 model probably a BMA or Britannia flight, which was indeed confirmed to be the case later on. FT's are clearly not conventional aircraft or lifting bodies and may be Tran dimensional or a joint collaborative effort in terms of origin. Although they vary substantially in terms of appearance and "type" as well as size, although I did once consider whether they may be a materializable form of the human "ID" or psyche, as may be ET's associated with them. After all, at times we only use about 4% of our mental abilities. Further to my email, I tend to steer away from the "intergalactic traveller" theory about ET's, preferring to concentrate on theories of human brain function and its ability to percieve the ET phenomenon in its own terms which its receptors are able to cognitize. Clearly the idea of ET's travelling several thousand light years in a circular ufo at light speed when the things are mostly small is unsustainable as an argument, although I must admit theres plently of evidence for enormous object capable of such long term undertakings. I may suggest that an examination of our own psyche in terms of our expectations with regards to the phenonmenon may bear forth better explainations although i am not denying that there is a transdimentional element to peoples experiences such as altered perceptions of time etc frequently experienced by ET witnesses. Several of the features of entities I have seen suggest the ability to "appear" during transient moments along with associated acrutriments of the phenomenon. I feel many people with hieghtened psychic abilities may have a limited ability to use their minds to emit signals to cause multidimensional elements of the phenomenon to appear within our 3rd dimension. Think of it in hard "efficiency" terms, an ET with the ability to reform within our atmosphere in a form of "ship" via another transituional dimensional access mode is hardly lightly to "bum it" in a space ship for (say) 10,000 years waiting to get here then set down on earth, pick some lavender then go back via the same route? When there is the possibility of travel within out own time sphere and cause selected individuals to view the experience in terms of their own minds ability to cognitize it. Put simply, I have an uneasy feeling that our past future and our present is constantly manipulated at various etherial and transdimentional levels to reflect the desired balance of required percieved contact in terms of our present day or distant future technology. eg, victorian USA saw many airship sightings, post war Norway witnessed many "rocket" sightings prior to the space age, and with the introduction of crude scifi remakes of greek tragedys and shakesperean plays within the context of intergalactic relations, we witness people "seeing" intergalactic entities, which brings me back to what I said about the human "ID" and its psyche's need to percieve a multidirectional future to give us something to aim for as a race. Although personally i think we are dealing with a portion of the phenomenon which indicates time travel from the extreme distant future by our distant human development genome types ie with the ever increasing divisions in society we are seeing the seperation of various racial groups and the demise of other groups, so what the "ET"'s may be is the end product of human long term development and the seperation of gene types into distinct breeding and alien racial groups with its own pecking order. ie, we started off as one basic or a few basic homonid development groups and may end up as many developments seen by us as alien in nature. ie ETs may be us in the earths far distant future. The only way I can explain what ive just described is in terms of it being an INDESCRETE INTERWOVEN LAPPING TIME TRANSIENT I would be grateful for any further comments you may have, and I would sincerely and respectfully ask that you do not communicate on this matter with my employer. Best regards, John XXXXXXX BA(Hons), MsC;

Birmingham Abductee

Regarding my Childhood Alien Abduction Experience
I now have permission to include this recently acquired information:
Well there has been some very interesting stuff going on in the background. I’m not quite sure where to start so I guess it needs to be from
the beginning as I can see no short cuts in explanation.
My article in the XXXXXXXXX Magazine caught the attention of John through his colleague. John is a retired police officer who has been
researching UK UFO incidents for the past twelve years. John’s initial interest was fuelled by his own first hand experience. The following is
copy pasted from his first email regarding my published article.

Dear XXXXXX,
I’m a retired Police Officer from the Birmingham area, and have spent the last 12 years writing up various accounts of strange phenomenon
seen in and around the skies of the UK going back to the 1940's, entitled 'Haunted Skies'
I’m currently in the process of completing the first Volume which embraces the period 19401966,
and hope to send this off to the publishers
in January 2007 (Foreword by Tim Good)
I would be interested in hearing more from you with regard to the article that was published in 'Chat its Fate' August 2006.
I spoke with John on receipt of this email for approximately an hour and a half. John subsequently sent me some very interesting
correspondence regarding his research. I replied with the following

email:
Hi John,
Firstly it was a pleasure speaking with you the other day and thank you for all the information that you have sent to admin@XXXXXXXXXXX.com
I need to really go through it all properly tomorrow afternoon as I have been late working with some XXXXX related investigation analysis.
For reference my first recollection of abduction was when I was aged 5 in 1964 and lived at 25 XXXXXXXXXX Rd, Selly Oak Birmingham. The
main more disturbing events occurred when I was 11 years old in 1970 whilst living at 21 XXXXXXX Rd, Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
In the early days 2001 XXXXXXXXX Awakening was Alien XXXXXXXXX. It was my first internet attempt to search out folk that had experienced
interactions with extraterrestrial life forms.
There are many that have had such experiences but have no current memory of those past events. Perhaps this is a good thing not knowing
as my experience has had a very negative impact on my life. There are others of course who choose not to share such experiences for fear of
ridicule.
Some times people have asked why your family didn’t notice anything strange. This is a good question but it’s quite possible that they were
also affected and that they were conditioned to remember things differently. My mother does have some very limited recollection!
The patchiness of recollection is not uncommon in such cases. Although seemingly lost this memory is still present and can resurface at
anytime. Quite often an unrelated event might trigger remembrance of such hidden memories.
In my experience I was conditioned not to remember by those who had taken me. They had implanted a false memory in the form of a
nightmare. This prevented me from seeing the truth beyond its barriers.
Once I faced my fear the truth became slightly clearer but I still have missing gaps. In the early years a mental block wouldn't have been a
necessary course of action for them as who would believe a 5 year old babbling on about spaceships and strange looking people.
The brainwashing occurred later as I grew older it masked my early childhood memories. Strangely enough it was a single childhood memory
that resurfaced that held the key to unlocking my nightmare.
Jenny XXXXXXX had asked me if I would like to share my experience in a future magazine publication. I agreed to do this but it wasn't an easy
decision. I mean I know I'm not crazy but others out there might think otherwise.
Jenny asked me to search out some pictures to accompany her proposed article and in the process I made a very rare find. It was rare
because 99% of my parents family photograph album had been dismantled by my two younger sisters never to be seen again to add to their
own family albums.
This single find was a 1965 colour photograph containing the key members of my family. This is a scan of the original
photograph with text to identify those family members present.
The following is an extract copy and pasted from the original correspondence email I had with Jenny on the 14th August 2005:
Extract: “This picture is a rare find containing significant family members. I find this photo extremely disturbing as I now remember being
taken outside at night and being surrounded by light in this exact spot. I also have a vague recollection of my brother being taken with me.”
This following isn't in the original transcript of my childhood experience:
As I held this very old photograph I had a most bizarre vision of my brother and me standing in our garden in the middle of the night (a year
earlier than this actual photograph). I was 5 years old and my brother 7 years old and what we should be doing standing in the middle of our
garden in the middle of the night is unexplainable. I have a vague recollection that it was me that had persuaded my brother outside and that
I wanted to show him something important.
Then I remember us both being surrounded by the brightest of light nothing could be seen through it to the outside of it. I have no further
recollection of the events that followed.
My granddad, my two sisters and I share these strange encounter experiences but it wasn't until I saw that photograph that I knew that my
brother was also implicated in this bizarre nightmare of events.
Why should this photograph trigger this memory was it because it contains all those of my family that share this experience? Actually the
most important aspect is the location of my brother and I in the photograph. This was the exact spot we were standing at the time of the
event looking upwards towards the back of our house in the middle of the night.
The following is the unedited article that was submitted for publication i.e. without poetic license added by the XXXXXXX
magazine editorial:
MY ALIEN ENCOUNTER
I was eleven years old and in order to play football I joined a youth club attached to my local church. If I went to the Sunday school and the
Sunday church service I got to play football on a Saturday. I returned home from church one Sunday evening and found a strange paperback
book in the front room of our semidetached
house. The book had pictures of strange creatures and had big words I could not read or
understand. I have an elder brother and two younger sisters and none of them claimed ownership to the book. In truth I only questioned my
brother as I was convinced it couldn't have belonged to any of my sisters. I took the book upstairs and placed it on the floor and forgot about
it in the midst of my other boyish junk.
My bedroom was a converted loft extension with a wooden staircase going up through my sisters shared bedroom. There was a single
fluorescent tube illuminating the room and a big dormer window opening up onto the roof. The day after taking possession of the book at
bedtime in the middle of the night I heard noises. I could hear the sound of footsteps and an unusual sound like a slow heart beat. The room
seemed to get very cold and I could feel a presence in the room that frightened me. I buried my head under the bedclothes I new the sound
of the slow heartbeat was not mine because my heart was racing. I tried to cry out for help but nothing came out. I could feel as if redhot
eyes were piercing my body I prayed in my mind and eventually it went away.
The following morning I awoke thinking that I'd had a bad nightmare but when I called for my best friend on the way to school I discovered
something more sinister. My friend explained that he wanted to tell me something but then changed his mind. I eventually managed to get
him to spill the beans and he told me that he had been woken up in the night and that there was an evil presence, which had past his house
and was going through the gully towards my house. This really played on my mind for the rest of the day and when it was time to go to bed
that evening I was doing everything I could to avoid doing so. I didn't mention anything to Mum and Dad, as I didn't want them to think I'd
gone crazy.
That evening I ran up those wooden stairs and flicked the switch for the fluorescent light which seemed to flick off and on for an eternity until
it stayed solid and illuminated the room. I got undressed turned the light off and jumped into bed and although a restless night nothing
happened. This was reassuring and I dismissed the experience of the night before as a nightmare and my friend’s comments as coincidence.
Anyway this was not to be as when I went to sleep that evening the same thing happened only this time I could feel myself being pushed into
the bed. I was really terrified but it eventually went leaving me alone. When I got out of bed that morning I noticed the strange paperback
book that I had discovered days earlier it was laying on the floor at the side yet at the head of the bed. I felt that the book marked the
position of the presence that I had felt in the room on those two occasions.
I took the book to another friend’s house and showed it to him and his elder sister. His elder sister who at one time had been involved in
witchcraft before becoming a born again Christian said that it was a witches spell book. The book was burnt page by page whilst reciting the
Lord’s Prayer and some prayers were said in my bedroom. At this point everything became peaceful for me and years past by.
However in my middle thirties I started having serious nightmares relating to the childhood experience described above. I became paranoid of
the dark and could not sleep at night without having the light on. I had a memory flashback I remember at the age of Five going into my
parents room in the middle of the night shouting mummy daddy there are strange people in my room please make them go away. I was
ushered back to my room the light was turned on and I was reassured there was nothing.
Then from this early memory some kind of link formed and I remembered being 11 years old and being carried out onto the
roof through the big dormer window. I was taken up in a beam of intense light and can remember lying on a shiny metal table
with strange being's looking down at me. There were the tall thin ones, which I always think of as the pink panthers, but without the tail,
they had big black eyes and they floated about a lot. The other being's of which there seemed to be more of where short grey and wrinkly
and had a pungent odour I can't begin to describe.
I was lying on the table naked and caught a glimmer of a shiny metallic instrument thrusting towards me. This was followed by a burning
sensation in my arm and the feeling of helplessness as everything slowed for me to a strobe like flicker. They were hurting me but I couldn’t
cry out for them to stop. I said in my mind I'm going to kill you in response to the Pink that was hurting me. He stopped he'd heard me he'd
read my thoughts and I was terrified. I said in my mind I didn't mean I'd kill him but he was hurting me. Please I said when can I go home at
this point I could feel this tremendous pressure in my head which was way over the top and was as gentle as a baseball bat playing baseball
with an egg I heard its voice in my head the reply to my question was soon.
Then I remembered another encounter this time I was being taken along a corridor the lighting was blue and was concealed in the recess
either side of the walk way. The walls narrowed to the ceiling I remember running my fingers along the wall it felt metallic, silky smooth and
was cold to the touch. The corridor led to a dark holding area where I was left and the door closed. I was in the room with other children none
of us spoke I felt sick and very cold.
I then remembered around the time of the encounters that I'd been mowing the lawn for my dad and it was a hot summer’s
day. I saw a bright light in the sky my mum and dad they saw it too. The UFO they called it was mentioned on the radio and in
the newspaper many local people saw it. There were some close up sightings at XXXXXX XXXX Farm which is less than a ten
minute walk from where I was living.
The bizarre nightmare about the witches spell book was some sort of memory block implanted to hide the truth from me. I felt at peace again
with myself and put all of these memories behind me yet I'd kept them all to myself and did not share them with anybody.
My youngest sister had a bad experience, which she told mum and mum told me. I asked my sister about it and in her own words she said as
follows. I was woken up in the middle of the night whilst in bed with my husband my two daughters were asleep in the front bedroom and I
could feel a chill in the room. The curtains were blowing about so I got up to close the window. However the window was closed I saw a
funnel of wind it came towards me and went inside me through my mouth. I found myself downstairs with my arms outstretched like nailed to
a crucifix. On the righthand
was an angel and on the left a jester. I had to remember the Lord’s Prayer but was stumbling over the words.
When I eventually got the words correct the jester turned into an angel. I levitated backwards up the stairs was thrown against the landing
wall the wind came out of me and I woke up in bed.
My sister felt this experience so real that she asked the local priest to come and bless the house. Much to my surprise my sister added that it
was a bit like the old house and then quickly changed her mind and said no it was different. She said that when she was five, which coincides
with me being 11, she was woken up in the middle of the night. There was light that was so bright shining through the curtains it made the
room like outside daylight. She said there were strange people moving around the house, the following night nothing happened and then it
happened again.
My youngest sister said that her big sister had told her about a dream of being on an operating table in a spacecraft. I phoned my sister and
asked her if she could remember ever having a dream when she was a little girl being on a table in a spacecraft. The phone went silent and
dead and about an hour later my sister’s husband questioned me as to what I had said that had upset her so much. I left it there apologized
and nothing else has ever been mentioned on this subject until this posting.
My dad has told me that my granddad told him that when he was courting a girl in Poland he was walking her home to her farm and on the
way back he saw a bright light in the forest. He went to investigate and then suddenly found himself walking in the opposite direction. When
he turned around the light had gone and when he looked at his watch he'd lost two hour's.
These few thoughts stick in my head and I can't explain why: The
Aliens I encountered do not travel from the far distant regions of our
Galaxy they travel between dimensions. They do not resonate like the matter that exists in our universe, as they are not of it. This gives them
the ability to pass through solid matter in our universe at will and manipulate matter using thought alone.
The Aliens implant devices to monitor and track the host humans they abduct but these are not necessarily found under the skin. They have a
stealth method which is undetectable which is done by encoding and remodulating
the host human’s energy field.
That's all, believe what you want I have nothing to prove I already know.
Thank you for reading!

Anyway John I was speaking with my colleague XXXXXXX who would also love to meet you but Monday’s, Friday’s and Saturday’s are going to be
very awkward to come and visit. Is there any possibility that we could meet up sometime next week Tuesday through to Thursday? We could
manage anytime of day or evening to suit your schedule.
I am trying to track down that Jimmy person about the Selly Oak 1964 Black Triangle incident mentioned in our telephone conversation. In
the meantime if you come across any information regarding the UFO sighting over Bar Beacon or Farmer XXXX (Streetly, Sutton Coldfield)
relating back to 1970 or close too and Selly Oak in 1964 that would be fantastic.
I haven’t checked all the stuff you have sent me yet so if any of the above is contained please accept my apologies.
You have my permission to use any information contained in this correspondence freely for your archives or publication.
Regards,
XXXXXX.

On speaking with John this evening I discovered that he hadn’t received my above reply so I have resent this email. However John had sent
me a witness statement from Mike XXXXXXXX that relates to the location/timeframe of my alleged experiences when I was aged 11 years old
as follows:
THE BARR BEACON UFOS 1970/71
The events I am going to relate took place during August to November 1970, and I apologise with one exception, for not
keeping exact dates.
During the summer of 1970, myself and two friends XXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXX, were walking back from Walsall to Pheasey Estate, GreatBarr. It was about 2300 hours and as we turned in to Barr Lakes Lane we noticed a bright star like object slowly moving above us. After a
minute or so the star like object began moving again and disappeared into a large bank of cloud, reappearing out of the cloud within seconds.
It had obviously accelerated, and we watched it clear the horizon.
The following week, we made the same journey at roughly the same time, and as we approached Barr Lakes Lane from Skip Lane we saw a
bright star like object. This time it was very low and appeared to be no more than tree height. We tried to get a better view in Barr Lakes
Lane, and found a gap in the hedge. To our astonishment, the object went dull then bright as it began hedgehopping away from us.
The week after, at a similar time, we had another sighting of the dull star, bright star object in Skip Lane.
We began skywatching at a place called Doe Bank Lane playing fields, from where we could watch right across towards Birmingham. On the
first occasion we saw a metallic sphere, which just floated down from the sky and hovered about 100feet above us. I thought we were being
watched, it was really strange and sinister.
At about 1900 hours one evening XXX came round to my house and we set off for a couple of hours sky watching. My house was about half a
mile from Doe Bank playing fields, and as we started our journey we noticed a bright, star like object that seemed to be heading for Barr
Beacon. We ran virtually all the way to Doe Bank playing fields, stopping only a couple of times to monitor its flight direction. The object
changed colour from diamond blue to dull silver. As we arrived at Doe Bank we now had a fantastic view of the object. We were only six or
seven hundred yards from the school and the UFO appeared to be at least fifty feet in diameter. It began to rotate, and as it did so, it
changed colour several times, from diamond blue to bright red, to orange brown. It was awesome! After about ninety seconds of this
spectacular show we lost sight of the object as it moved off behind the school in the direction of Crook Lane and Barr Lakes Lane
Not long after this, I was in Aldridge, it was dark as I walked into Gretton Road, and the time was about 1930 hours. A jet flew overhead and
was quite low. This prompted me to look up. As the plane flew over I saw what I thought was the moon, except that it had an eerie suffused
light. I noticed that the light, was in fact two lights and the object they came from was hovering a few feet above the roof of the
house opposite! The thing began to move, and I was completely terrified! I was so frightened I couldn’t shout for help, I was paralysed with
fear. The UFO, which I would now describe as an Adamski craft, made no sound as it moved to the middle of the road junction, hovering
about fifty feet in the air. After about two minutes or so the craft appeared to wobble slightly then glided into a position where it was on end,
it then shot straight up into the sky, whereupon it became a spec amongst the stars before disappearing
On the 5th November 1970, XXX and I went to Doe Bank playing fields for what would turn out to be our final sky watch. It was bonfire night
and nothing was seen until about 2100 hours, when we noted a red pulsing object approaching from Barr Beacon. It was very low and looked
as though it was going to fly under the power line cables that crossed the lower part of the Beacon. In fact the object rose suddenly, over the
power lines and approached our position no more than 20/30 feet from the ground. As the object got closer, it rose steeply and went straight
over us on a straight flight path towards Birmingham. The object appeared to be bell shaped and had a red glow. This sighting was quite
unlike any of the other UFOs.

I hope you can see that the timeframe is quite precise between Mikes account and my own. I was 11 years old in 1970 and I relate to the
time period of my experiences as being in the summer.

This is a most interesting observation as I was taken out through the big dormer window onto the roof.
All the place names/roads mentioned by Mike are all relevant they are local to my childhood experience I know them all oh so well. John has
more information regarding events relevant to this location/timeframe and has agreed to share them with me when we get the chance to visit
him.
Well I started off by feeling very excited about the Mike witness statement but then after about half an hour I found myself shaking
uncontrollably with fear and sadness.
Best,
XXXXXX
PS 36 years I have waited, so perhaps now I'm not as mad as some might think!

Additional Content
I am aware of downloads and even had an experience of information retrieval (an upload) where I became aware of my mind be sifted
through like someone flicking through a card index of information. I was able to block this intrusion once I became aware of the interaction. It
was very hard to stop the flow a first because it was oh so fast. My awareness to this event was due to some hesitancy on the part of the
intrusion that caused a noticeable blip (presumed to be unintentional) in its link with me. The subsequent speed of the upload had it not
started of with this blip would have probably gone unnoticed by me.
I know of a recent case where a female had an experience of a metallic unknown inserted into her foot during an alleged abduction. I have
had an experience of a metallic object being inserted into my left ear during an unwanted interaction. I went to the doctors for treatment as
an infection occurred in this ear, which caused me considerable pain and discomfort. The interesting part is I had accidental damage to this
ear when I received a cupped hand blow during a play fight about 8 years prior and as a result I lost my entire high band in this ear. Now
strangely since this bizarre interaction event of approximately 18 months ago my hearing has noticeably improved i.e. I can hear the higher
frequencies negating the damage that was deemed by doctors to be irreversible damage. Despite what might seem to be wonderful I do not
believe the forces if indeed responsible for the cure are not interested in our well being generally as part of their agenda.
I have what I can only describe as a mentor entity that communicates with me (has done now for some time) and sometimes this interaction
occurs when I would much rather be asleep. Even wakes me up to voice some importance in understanding. I call him © and I have never
known © to contradict himself. I have knowledge that just seems to appear in my head and just know stuff that I shouldn’t know.
I have set © to task because I found him to be a controller of sorts and stated that he had to work for me if I was to allow him future
interaction. © has been helpful (also annoying) and I really feel quite cold hearted recently for treating him so harshly. © is not a spirit guide,
but he is a non physical entity of a former physical earth dweller alien.
© tells me that he died trying to protect me as a child from the Greys and that he has sort me out in this life to guide me as brother. © is for
Companion my name for him and this is his preferred reference. Well it sounds crazy when I read back what I have written, but I have no
reason to delude myself or others.
My main concern these days is the reason behind these communications that appear to serve a purpose? I am aware of various alien forces,
but the Grey’s I’m certain are the ones that pose a most serious threat to the future of mankind. My thinking recently is directed towards
exploiting plausible weaknesses in the Grey to help those that might need to engage them with limited technology. How can I be sure that I
am right in my understanding is a difficult question, but it seems so far that the jigsaw puzzle of recent cryptic downloads once pieced
together make perfect logical sense. © tells me “The mind probing interactions result in an inevitable two way flow of information. The Grey’s
don’t consider this as any significant threat, but it is a weakness that can be exploited. A channel is realised and leakage of alien thoughts can
be acquired that can make a difference once understood.”
I haven’t done hypnosis to recall missing parts of my experience, because it isn’t an option easily available to me in the UK. I have tried to
find out more about regression, but I’m unsure about whether I would trust a stranger to unlock hidden memories in this way. I have enough
nightmares already without them being added too!
I seem to have a very good recall of the events compared to others and I even know a lot about these creatures from my mind contact
(during abductions), with the tall ones that can download and upload thoughts from the human mind.
I haven’t ruled out the possibility of hypnotic regression, but if only I could find someone in the UK that I felt I could trust with my mind, not
to leave me in a worse state than I’m already in? Sometimes I almost feel suicidal with the post trauma stress from having suffered these
repeated abductions during my life.
I remember that on occasions I have actually considered suicide and actually did try, but failed a few times only ending up in hospital for a
while. I saw a psychiatrist as a result and thought that I would be classified as a nutcase and sectioned. This didn’t happen even after I
related my experiences as to the cause to this doctor (actually a number of doctors). I was genuinely believed and was given a clean bill of
mental health, with the diagnosis of being a victim of trauma.
The biggest problem with having had such experiences is that normal people just can’t handle it (w ell at least I didn’t fair so well). At this
time I just couldn’t cope with the repetitive realisation and trauma of what shouldn’t be real, but is real. In the UK there is no specific
professional help for anyone (that I am aware of) that has experienced the trauma of EBE encounters. This is because the phenomenon of
aliens and abduction is simply not recognised as being a reality by the medical profession.
Alien types that I have experienced are Grey’s in the company of a much taller being as described in my childhood account, Reptilian and a
large dark bird like creature.
I am 48 years old now and was born in Selly Oak, Birmingham, UK on the 17th March
1959. I now live in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, UK, since the latter part of 1965 age of 5+ years.
The tall EBE are always present onboard the alien transport during abductions and they are the doctors. The shorter Grey’s are effectively
drones controlled by the taller EBE. So let me explain these creatures from what I know to be true from my experience. They are almost
insect type if you consider the disproportionate head size long arms and fingers.
They have no apparent sex organs (the ones I am familiar with), because they are born this way. The best I can explain the Grey is that they
are the result of a colony (hive) that is almost Bee like, in that a ‘Queen’ is the creator of all offspring and each alien variation serves a
specific function in the hive hierarchy. The tall ones are highly intelligent they can download and upload information from their subordinates
(the short Grey drones) and also humans.
The short Grey’s might seem to be independent in our understanding, but they are in fact limited without the instructive guidance of the tall
ones. The rest is unclear and merely speculation on my part. It seems these aliens are trying to negate the need of a Queen to self procreate.
The Grey species are long lived in comparison to humans, but away from the hive without a Queen they would eventually cease to exist. The
tall ones have superior intelligence and are experimenting with the genetic blending of gnome, with other species to create self propagating
hybrids to negate the need of Queen’s. It is likely more than likely that we are the harvest of an earlier planting by alien types.
Every moment these experiences are with me they never go away and the only thing that really keeps me around is my Mother and Father
that I now care for in their disabilities. I also genuinely care about others, who have experienced much the same. I believe that it is important
that those who have experienced them are made aware that they are not alone in the experience. It is also important for others that haven’t,
to be made aware of these creatures, so that in the future they might be better prepared to deal, with them on a confrontational level.
These are some genuine pictures (only obtained fairly recently quite by chance) of two similar types that I have experienced. I know these
are real because I remember them from past experience amongst the others. They are the best kind of aliens of these types, because they
are dead, the result of a crashed alien transport.
Finally the tall ones of the above type (this picture above being an accurate drawing) do download and uploads. The ears are lower down in
the skull facing forwards in difference to the other types. Please don’t think I am harsh as to my feelings towards these guy’s in particular. It
is only because I know what they are up to and they certainly don’t have any caring feelings towards us.
Remote Viewing
I was 22 years old at the time of my first recollection of the Out of the Body experience. However I would probably reclassify this now as a
case of remote viewing.
This is my account it is not fiction it is not fantasy it is the truth. I was working on a Computer related contract at XXXXXXX XXXXX Automotive
based in Nuneaton.
It was my job to support and ensure the smooth overnight operation of the companies DEC PDP11/70 Mini Computer system. This machine
was used to process orders for automotive parts and accessories and created picking notes, consignment notes and delivery notes for the
warehouse.
I worked in the two storey office section which was attached to the front of QHA's massive warehouse. The building I discovered is built over
old coal mine workings and the chief security officer called Sid had been a Coal mine rescue worker when the Pit was in use. Many
strange events occurred whilst I was their which where witnessed by others. However these I'll skip and proceed as follows;
It was a Friday night the busiest night of the week for the Mini Computer system. The main weekly orders processing was about to start and I
was on schedule. The time was 22:00 and the Orders program Aka784 was due to run for at least 12 hours.
On this occasion my minder (baby sitter) had been replaced by a Group4 Security man called Alex. Apparently the warehouse sprinkler
system had broken and Alex had to patrol the warehouse with a flashlight at intervals to satisfy the fire insurance requirement.
The Mini Computer was housed in an air conditioned room called the Goldfish bowl as it had windows and you could look in from the outside
office area. This room had the main computer paper console which was tucked away in the corner of this room out of sight.
When the Aka784 program started it would display the number of orders to process and then every five minutes how many orders left to
process.
Like any good worker I checked for the successful start of the program. Then turned off all the main office lights and proceeded to the data
control area where I intended to get some shut eye.
However before I could do this I had to start a little monitoring program I had written. So at the VT100 console in front of me I executed my
program which checks the processor memory every 3 minutes for the existence of the Aka784 orders program. If the program disappears
from memory an alarm clock sounds and I know that the program has either finished or failed. Remember these were the days of prehistoric
high tech computers. I can tell you that my home computer has more processing power and storage capacity than this machine.
Anyway I got three chairs and placed them side by side to form a sleeping bench. I was working in a confined space so the VT100 console
was at my feet and when I turned off the light to go to sleep my head was slightly under an office desk.
The next thing I remembered was walking out of data control into the open plan office area. I could see Alex the security guard fast a sleep. I
went into the computer room but don't remember opening the door. I proceeded to the paper console and as it was at waist level I lent over
it to view how many orders were left to process. I would normally place my hands either side of the console for support but don't remember
seeing my hands. This didn't seem abnormal at the time I took visual note of the orders left to process and proceeded back through the door
into the open plan office. Again don't remember actually opening the door.
I could see Alex still fast a sleep but now he was snoring quite loudly. I proceeded to data control to go back to sleep. However when I got
there I could see someone else fast a sleep. After a moments viewing and the subsequent shock I realised that I was the person a sleep. Now
just like people claim when they die my whole life seem to flash before me and I just freaked thinking I had died.
Then as if I was on the end of a very powerful elastic band under tension I shot back into my body. I sort of filled up from boots to head with
such a force I sat bolt upright and banged my head on the desk that my head was a sleep under. I remembered the number and wrote it
down I knew that the paper console only updates with a new number every five minutes. I dashed into the computer room and the number
on my piece of paper tallied with the paper console. The strange thing of all is that I new it would.
I did this fun test a while ago, which doesn’t really amount to much, but the results for me relate and reaffirm that I may have certain
potential.

The following is my result:
The ESP Test
What's Your Psychic Strength?
XXXXXX, when it comes to psychic abilities, you have an unusually strong talent in the area of Remote Viewing
This means you have an uncanny ability to travel great distances with your mind, to virtually any location, and actually get a true glimpse at
what is located there. The best conditions for travelling space with your mind, or remotely viewing another location, are silence and a calm
state of mind. Even without these conditions, you managed to show considerable talent in this area, which is called remote viewing. This skill
is phenomenally valuable and has been used by institutions such as the government to help in covert operations designed to retrieve
information about the whereabouts of a criminal or to learn about the operations of another country. But mostly this can help in practical,
everyday ways, such as instinctively grabbing an umbrella before making a trip to the next town over even though you had no way of
knowing that it was raining there.
I posted a remote view description of an earthbound installation (not of current human construction and also predating man), with some
mention of its perceived geographical location and partially perceived purpose. I also posted some plausible tactical information regarding use
of limited technology, for the possible disruption of the Grey hierarchy command structure for use in close combat. This was posted on a
forum that suddenly disappeared off the internet. I was concerned and felt that our private forum would also be targeted and mentioned this
worry to my site partner. Two days later our forum, despite all my proactive security measures was hacked into and destroyed. Is this just a
coincidence maybe it was I’m unsure? Fortunately I keep extensive backups and was able to restore all our site content without any loss,
although it took me three days with sleepless nights to restore all content and fix the security breach.

Finally I have much more I can share but I don’t wish to overload you or even burden you with all my experiences.
Best regards,

Margaret Fry

UFO investigator - meet granny Margaret Fry Last updated:

21 July 2007Grandmother of nine Margaret Fry from Abergele is the co-founder of the Welsh Federation of Independent Ufologists.When you think of a UFO investigator your image is probably of Mulder and Scully from TV's X Files, writes Nick Bourne from the Web Team. Well, think again. She decided to help set up the organisation to turn the amateur enthusaist into a seasoned professional of UFO

investigation.By linking up enthusiasts from across Wales, Margaret and her fellow investigators are able to pool their research and cross reference sightings to monitor any links or similiarities between UFO cases.They can undergo training in research and investigation techniques to ensure all work is collated to a particular standard.
But where do they start?

Most enthusiasts watch the local media to see if any reports are carried in the local press. They then follow up the stories and begin their own research. For time-served investigators such as Margaret, whose name is widely known among the local community, they sometimes become the first point of contact when someone wants to report a sighting or a perceived phenomenon. Margaret has been living in North Wales for more than two decades. But she began her hunt for answers to UFO sightings nearly 40 years ago when, as a young mum living with her family in Kent, she had an alien encounter.

Margaret maintains an alien craft landed in her town and was witnessed by many other locals in July 1955. Since then she has investigated thousands of sightings and is a firm believer in alien life. In North Wales she is joined by a group of volunteers from varied, but often professional backgrounds. Among them is a retired police officer and a chemist and between the group they investigate reports of UFOs in North Wales. Their work has become easier over the years with a willingness among the wider public to accept that there might be other life in the universe. And so the calls come in. While people might be willing to consider that aliens exist, few want to speak publicly about their experiences. So sometimes the ufologists many receive the briefest of reports only.

HELP! I've just seen a UFO

Last updated: 06 November 2007From the files of UFO investigator Margaret Fry. Plus, read contributors' own sightings...

Some witnesses are reluctant to give many details when they contact local members of the Welsh Federation of Independent Ufologists. Co-founder Margaret Fry believes people need to tell someone but are reluctant to be identified. Take these brief outlines of cases reported to the UFO investigators:The circular UFO - Monday March 19 2001, 0710 hoursUFO seen from Prestatyn over the skies of Gronant and Talacre.
The caller reported the UFO glowed red and white in colour and was circular in shape and hung motionless in the sky for five minutes before darting off, changing to white in colour.
The silver craft - Friday September 6 2001, 1230 hoursUFO sighted 300ft from the ground over a wooded area at Kimnel Manor, near Abergele. Seen for only a few seconds, it was described by the witness as silver in colour and cigar-shaped. The craft appeared to have dark swirling waves of light or material moving over its body in a clockwise direction.Six UFOs in one hour - Thursday October 18 2001, 2000 hours
Large UFO observed at Prestatyn in the direction towards Abergele. It was star-shaped, green and red in colour, and appeared to be darting back and forth. Then, what appeared to be a halo-shape, appeared under the UFO in a white-grey colour. From nowhere five smaller star-like objects were then seen in the vicinity of the other craft. After an hour, the UFOs vanished. Prestatyn police were informed, but no-one else had reported any sightings.

The Albert Burtoo Abduction

RejectionAldershot, Hampshire,
United KingdomNight FishingAs 77-year-old Alfred Burtoo was fishing the Basingstoke Canal in the peaceful early hours of the morning of August 12, 1983, he saw a brilliant light descend from the sky and settle on the nearby towpath. Thinking it must be a helicopter from the nearby MOD base, he took no notice, and poured himself a cup of tea from his Thermos flask. Then his dog, Tiny, began whining furiously and two figures emerged from the darkness."They were about four foot high, dressed in pale green coveralls from head to foot," Burtoo told reporters. "And they had helmets of the same colour with a visor that was blacked out."The strangers gestured to Burtoo to accompany them. Calmly setting down his cup of tea, the intrepid pensioner follow them along the towpath towards a saucer-shaped craft. "I was 77 and didn't have much to lose," he later explained.Inside the SaucerClimbing up a set of steps into the saucer, Burtoo discovered that the ceiling was so low he had to stoop. He found himself inside a black, metallic octagonal chamber, which smelt slightly of decaying meat."I did not see any signs of nuts or bolts, nor did I see any seams where the object had been put together," he recalled. "What did interest me most of all was a shaft that rose up from the floor to the ceiling. The shaft was about four feet in circumference, and on the right-hand side stood two forms similar to those that walked along the towpath with me."One of the beings told the old man to stand beneath an orange light, which appeared to scan him for a few minutes. "What is your age?" asked the entity, in a "sing-song" voice which sounded like "a mixture of Chinese and Russian". When he replied that he was 78, it declared: "You can go. You are too old and infirm for our purposes." Bemused, Burtoo climbed down from the saucer and returned to his fishing spot."The first thing I did... was to pick up my cold cup of tea and drink it," he recalled. "And then I heard this whining noise, just as if an electric generator was starting up, and this thing lifted up then took off at a very high speed."Apparently unfazed by his bizarre encounter, Burtoo resumed the task at hand. "I got into what I had come out for - the fishing!" Despite his rather curt reception, he later declared his nocturnal adventure to have been "the greatest experience of my life".Quality Control?Alfred Burtoo is not alone in having apparently failed an alien medical test. American abductee Carl Higdon believed that he had been rejected as a guinea pig for a hybrid breeding program because his captors discovered that he had had a vasectomy. Likewise, Luis Oswald, an elderly Brazilian abducted in 1979 by beings who claimed to be from "a small galaxy near Neptune", reported that she had endured a lengthy examination then been told she was "of no use".Source & References:Jenny Randles: Alien Contact: The First 50 Years, p102. Timothy Good: Beyond Top Secret, pp87-93. Photograph of Burtoo-Timothy GoodThe Ilkley Moor AlienOne of the most unique accounts of alien abduction comes to us from the Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire, England. The witness and subject of this case is a former policeman named Philip Spencer. Spencer claims that in the early morning of December 1, 1987, he was taken aboard an unidentified flying craft, and after his release managed to snap a picture of one of the alien beings.The Ilkley Moor is very much as you would picture it. Reminiscent of the setting of the moors of Baskerville Hall in Conan Doyle's "Hound of the Baskervilles." it is an eerie place. It has been said that "The Ilkley Moor can scare you to death during daylight, and at night it's even worse." It is a place of mystery. There is the Swaztika stone; boulders etched with strange markings; the Badger Stone; and the Twelve Apostles stone circle.Many times the only living creatures on the moor are the sheep. Ilkley has other legends too, like the hovering lights at night, which bring occasional reports of UFOs. Strange, swirling lights that are filtered through the fog which seems to have a mind of its own. Possibly some of the mysterious sights can be attributed to the not too distant Menwith Hill Military Base, or the nearby Leeds Bradford Airport. The activities of these two facilities will not, however, explain what happened to Spencer. There were also stories of strange creatures that roam across the moor at times.After four years of being a policeman in another city, Spencer had moved his wife and child to the Yorkshire area to be closer to her family. He was walking across the moor on this December morning heading for his father-in-law's house, and on the way was hoping to get some photographs of the strange light tricks of the moor. To be able to get the images he desired, he was using a high ASA rated film to compensate for the poor light in the area. Unfortunately, the picture that he took was somewhat blurred, but there is no doubt that the creature in the photo is a one of a kind being which basically resembled the small grays.Along with his camera, Spencer also took a compass to navigate through the fog before sufficient daylight shone through the moor. As he was searching for some photo angles, suddenly he caught the sight of a strange looking being in the slopes ahead of him. He aimed and snapped a picture of the creature which seemed to be gesturing for him to stay away. It then ran away. Spencer gathered his wits and took off in pursuit of the being. Today he says he doesn't know why. It was just an impulse reaction. He arrived just in time to get a glimpse of a flying craft with a domed top rise up from the moor and disappear into the sky. Atop the dome was a whitish square. He was not able to get a photograph of the object.original photograph of alienThere was silence now. When he saw nothing else of the being or its craft, he began to walk to the nearest village. This walk took about 30 minutes, and during this time, a couple of things became apparent to him. First of all, his compass now pointed south instead of north, and secondly, the village clock showed the time an hour ahead of his..Spencer was confused now. Did he see what he thought he saw? To answer this burning question, he headed by bus to the nearest town with instant film development. Sure enough, he had a picture of the creature! It looked to be about 4 foot tall, and had a blue-green tint to it's skin. He knew he had something of importance, or at least, he thought he did. He found the proper channels to contact UFO investigator Peter Hough.Hough knew what he was hearing was a "too good to be true" case, and it worried him, but after meeting Spencer, he was convinced that he was a man of integrity and was not seeking fame or fortune for his picture. There was no reason to not believe what Spencer had told him. Hough began a thorough investigation. The film with the alien picture would be the first thing to undergo professional scrutiny.The alien picture was first looked at by a wildlife photography expert. The object in the image was not an animal of any known kind. It could not be determined either way if the figure was animate or static. A reconstruction of the original site did establish the alien's height at or near 4 and one half feet. The photograph was next sent to Kodak laboratories in Hemel, Hempstead. An analysis showed that the object was indeed part of the original photo, and not superimposed. This conclusion did not, of course, determine what the creature was.Next, the picture was sent to the United States for computer enhancement and analysis. Dr. Bruce Maccabee, optical physicist with the United States Navy rendered his expert opinion;He stated that the slow film speed used for the low light conditions made the film too grainy for proper testing. "I had great hopes that this case would prove definitive. Sadly circumstances prevent it from being so," Maccabee stated.Something strange was noticed in the picture. Appearing on the hill at exactly the spot where Spencer says the UFO was, is a white square. Could it be that he had gotten a part of the UFO in the shot unknowingly? He was not sure.Pitlochry Photograph, 1990The MOD's UFO Project had also been sent a number of intriguing photos and videos of UFOs, and had the means to have the images enhanced and analysed by various technical specialists.Some intriguing images had arrived via the Scottish Daily Record in 1990, and a poster-sized photograph had been produced from one of the negatives and pinned to my (?) office wall by one of my predecessors.The photograph had been taken in daylight and showed a vast, diamond-shaped UFO, metallic silver in colour, apparently hovering low over the Scottish countryside.The photograph was removed in 1994 by the then head of the division, who had convinced himself that the picture showed a secret prototype aircraft codenamed Aurora - a hypersonic replacement for the SR-71 Blackbird that the US Government denied existed.A question was asked in Parliament in 1996 about the location of this photograph, and the matter has subsequently been raised in a Freedom of Information Act request. Unfortunately, the photograph had disappeared, and could not be located.RAF Tornado Overtaken by UFOOn 5 November 1990, RAF Tornado aircraft flying over the North Sea were casually overtaken by a UFO.The pilot's report stated "UFO appeared in our right hand side ... we were travelling at Mach point 8. It went into our 12 o'clock and accelerated away. Another 2 Tornados saw it".Further details were reported in the National Enquirer, March 12, 1991, page 50: "Airline pilot in chilling brush with giant UFO", by Fleur Brenham. Has photo of "Veteran pilot, Capt. Mike D'Alton. He's convinced it came from outer space.""A massive glowing UFO stunned a veteran British Airways pilot and his crew when it shot in front of their Boeing 737 on a night flight from Rome to London - then zoomed out of sight at fantastic speed"The newspaper quoted the pilot: "This thing was not of this world," declared Capt. Mike D'Alton. "In all my 23 years of flying I've never seen a craft anything like this."More: "Capt. D'Alton says he's convinced the mysterious craft came from outer space because: It was traveling at tremendous speed, but caused no sonic boom. . . it had a bizarre shape like nothing he'd ever set eyes on . . . and it made a sharp turn while flying at high speeds - an impossible maneuver that would rip any man-made aircraft to bits. Just as incredible, when Capt. D'Alton checked with area air traffic controllers, they hadn't detected a thing! 'There was nothing on the radar screens of any of the control towers it was flying over,' he said."According to the article, "The encounter began at 6:03 p.m. last November 5 as Capt. D'Alton's airliner was flying over Genoa, Italy. 'The rest of the crew saw it, too,' he said. 'What we saw was one large, fairly bright light. Ahead of it was a formation of three fainter lights in a triangle. Another faint light was behind the large light and was slightly lower.'D'Alton continued: "The craft was flying level, going much too fast to be a man-made aircraft. I've flown all over the world, and I know this thing wasn't a shooting star, space debris or the northern lights."Said Bob Parkhouse, the flight's chief steward: "The UFO was moving from left to right across the horizon. It was a sight I'd never seen before!""The crew watched the craft for two minutes, said Capt. D'Alton. 'Then it took a lightning-fast right-angle turn and zoomed out of sight.' Other pilots, including a Lufthansa German Airlines captain, reported a UFO sighting around the same time. Capt D'Alton said. 'It had to be something from another planet - because it was definitely not man-made!' "Still more details from Tim Good's "UFO Report 1992", pp. 136-7."5 November 1990: Genoa, Italy/North Sea - British Airways Captain Mike D'Alton reported sighting a UFO during the night flight in a Boeing 737 from Rome to Gatwick, describing it as a silver disc with three faint points of light in arrow formation and a fourth light behind it."Captain D'Alton said the object was visible for about 2 minutes over Genoa. 'I've never seen anything like it before and can't explain what it was. My co-pilot and I called in two cabin crew to see it and then it went out of sight. Ground radar couldn't pick it up, so it must have been travelling at phenomenal speed.' (Sunday Telegraph, London/Sunday Mail, Glasgow, 11 November 1990)Captain Achille Zaghetti's Close EncounterThe Western Daily Press newspaper, of Bristol, England, reports on June 15, 2001:On the night of 21 April 1991, the term 'close encounter' took on an altogether more significant meaning for the crew and passengers of a London-bound airliner. At 9.00 pm Captain Achille Zaghetti, who was piloting a McDonnell MD-80 aircraft, was amazed to see an unidentified flying object pass his aircraft as it flew over the coast of Kent at a height of more than 22,000 feet. As the UFO was no more than 1,000 feet above the airliner, and the incident therefore classed as a 'near-miss', an official inquiry was launched by the CAA.Approximately two weeks later the following brief statement was issued:"The pilot said the object was light brown, round, three meters long, and did not describe any means of propulsion, "The aircraft was under the control of London air traffic control center who had no other aircraft in the vicinity, but consistent with the pilot report, a faint radar trace was observed ten nautical miles behind the Alitalia aircraft. "Extensive inquiries have failed to provide any indication of what the sighting may have been." But more was to come. The next incident to occur took place on June 1, 1991, when a yellow-orange cylindrical object, ten feet long, was seen at close quarters by the crew of a Britannia Airways Boeing 737 en route to London from Dublin.Sixteen days later, yet another cylindrical-shaped UFO was sighted, this time by one Walter Leiss, a German engineer aboard Dan Air flight DA 4700 as it headed toward Hamburg.Air traffic controller: "was it an aircraft?"January 6, 1995, Captain Roger Wills and copilot Mark Stuart were beginning their descent towards Manchester Airport in a Boeing 737 twin jet with 60 passengers on board. Seventeen minutes before touchdown, a mysterious, triangular-shaped UFO flashed past the right-hand side of the aircraft at a distance described as being "very close" - so close, in fact, that the crew instinctively "ducked" in their seats.This is an extract from the conversation between crew of the B737 and the radar controller. B737: "We just had something go down the RHS just above us very fast." MANCHESTER: "Well, there's nothing seen on the radar. Was it an aircraft?" B737: "Well, it had lights; it went down the starboard side very quick [and] just slightly above us, yeah." MANCHESTER: "Keep an eye out for something, I can't see anything at all at the moment so, must have been very fast or gone down very quickly after it passed you I think." B737: "Okay. Well, there you go!"1993-Flying Triangle seen over RAF Cosford & Shawbury(There)... was a wave of sightings that occurred on the 30th and 31st of March, 1993. We had several hundred reports that came our way. Many of the witnesses were police. A lot of police in the southwest of the country, in Devon and Cornwall, saw something. Now, as with all of these big waves of sightings, quite a lot of the reports were fairly mundane, lights in the sky. But even so, it was quite late at night -- most of these reports were between, say, 1:00 and 1:30 in the morning -- and because there were police officers on night patrol, you're dealing with more than average recognition training, and people used to being out and about, and used to seeing lights and other things in the sky. Repeatedly, I heard the phrase, "This was like nothing I'd ever seen before in my life." People were genuinely quite spooked by this.What was generally reported was two lights, flying in a perfect formation, with a third, much fainter light -- our old friend the flying triangle, really. The lights were described as being in a triangle formation. It's difficult to say, of course. It's quite possible they could have been three separate things flying in formation, but the impression from talking to witnesses was that this was a triangular craft with lights mounted on the underside, at the edges. The most interesting reports, of course, were the ones which occurred at close distance. There was a family in Staffordshire who apparently saw this thing so low -- and they described it as either triangular or diamond shaped -- that they leapt into their car and tried to chase it. They didn't succeed, although at one point they thought it was so low that it had actually come down in a field. It wasn't there when they got to it. They described a low, humming sound, a very low-frequency sound. They said you didn't just hear this sound, you felt it, like standing in front of a bass speaker.The really intriguing thing was that this object, whatever it was, then proceeded to fly over two military bases. It was seen by the guard patrol at RAF Cosford, about three or four people, [who] made an instant report of this, obviously because it had flown over their base. They checked radar. There was nothing on the screens, nothing at all, and there was nothing scheduled to fly. No military or civil aircraft should have been airborne in that area at all. They phoned the nearby base at RAF Shawbury, about 12 miles away from Cosford. The meteorological officer there took the call. He was a man with about eight years experience of looking into the night sky and then doing the weather report for the next day. So he knew his way around objects and phenomena. Now, to his absolute amazement, he saw a light in the distance, coming closer and closer. That light eventually resolved itself into a solid structured craft that he saw again flying directly over the base, but at much closer proximity than the guard patrol at Cosford had seen it. He estimated that the height of the object was no more than 200 feet. Its size, he said, was midway between a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and a Boeing 747. He heard the low hum, too. He had not spoken to any other witnesses, except the Cosford people, who I don't think had reported the sound. He reported this low-frequency hum. Perhaps most disturbingly of all, he reported this thing throwing a beam of light down at the nearby countryside and fields just beyond the perimeter fence at the base. And this light was tracking backwards and forwards, he said to me, "as if it was looking for something." The beam of light then retracted, and the craft moved off. It was traveling very slowly, I should say, probably no more than 20 or 30 mph. Then it gained a little bit of height, and then it just shot off to the horizon in little more than a second. Needless to say, that was a description I had come across many times in other UFO reports, the virtual hover to the high-Mach accelerations in an instant.I launched a full investigation. I made all the usual checks, trying to track down aircraft movement, satellite activity, airships, weather balloons, meteorites, etc., etc. I drew a blank -- with one exception -- and then put a report up the chain of command. The exception was a ballistic missile early warning sensor at RAF Fylingdales, in North Yorkshire. It is estimated that at some stage in the night there had been a rocket reentry of, I think, Cosmos 2238, which might have caused a very brief firework display in the high atmosphere. It's just possible that some of the vague lights-in-the-sky sightings might have been explained in that way, although Fylingdales didn't seem very sure on whether [the satellite re-entry] was actually going to be visible from the UK at all. But, clearly, it wouldn't explain the sighting of the family in Staffordshire and, most importantly of all, the direct overflight of the military bases, particularly the meteorological officer's report. He had obviously seen a structured craft. This to me really [refuted] any idea that these things are of no defense significance. You had a craft which, whatever it was, had penetrated our defense region. It wasn't on our radar, and we hadn't got our air defense fighters out. So whether it was extraterrestrial or not, there was something which we all should have been very concerned about.The debate got bogged down in the search for Aurora, the alleged hypersonic replacement to the SR-71 Blackbird. We were chasing our tails trying to find out whether there was such a thing. We were asking the Americans, "Are you operating a prototype aircraft in our airspace?" That, of course, was nonsense. You simply would not do that from a diplomatic and political point of view. It would undermine the entire structure of NATO if you were putting things through someone else's airspace, particularly a close ally, without seeking the proper diplomatic clearance. But we had to ask. And the Americans, having had similar reports, I guess, since the Hudson Valley wave [New York state, mid-1980s], had been quietly asking us if we had some large, triangular shaped object that could go from 0 to Mach 5 in a second. Our response was that we wished we did. This was the bizarre situation: that we were chasing the Americans, and the Americans were chasing us. Meanwhile, I suspected a third party was having a laugh!Nick Popesource & references:http://www.qtm.net/~geibdan/newsb/nick.htmlCNI NewsDecember 16, 1996Published by the ISCNI News CenterUFO AIR, Manchester Airport, U K 1995Civil Aviation Authority Report on Near Miss With UFO.Documented by Mike Wootten.What follows is the full report of the CAA's conclusions relating to a near miss betweena Boeing 737 and an unknown object on 6th January 1995, while on its final approach toManchester Airport.The report was released on 2nd February 1996.Commercial Air Transport Airmiss Reports (January-April 1995)Airmiss Report No. 2/95Date/Time: 061848 Jan NightPosition: N5318 W0200(8NM SE Mancheser Apt)Airspace: MTMA Class: AReporting Aircraft Reporting AircraftType: B737 UntracedOperator: CATAlt/FL: 4000ft (decending) (QNH 1027 mb)Weather: VMC CLACVisibility: 10KM+PART A: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION TO JAS THE B737 PILOT reports that he was over the Pennines, about 8 or 9 NM SE of Manchester Airport, at 4000ft, while being radar vectored by Manchester radar on 119.4. He was flying at 180-210 kt on a N heading and squaking 5734 with Mode C selected. Although it was dark, visibility was over 10 km with a fairly strong NW wind (340/30). While flying just above the tops of some rugged Cu both he and the first officer saw a lighted (see JAS notes) object fly down the RH side of the ac at a high speed from the opposite direction. He was able to track the object through the RH windscreen and side window, having it is sight for a total of about 2 seconds. There was no apparent sound or wake. The first officer instinctively 'ducked' as it went by.The first officer reports that his attention, initially focused on the glare shield in front of him, was diverted to something in his peripheral vision. He looked up in time to see a dark object pass down the right hand side of the ac at high speed; it was wedge-shaped with what could have been a black stripe down the side. he estimated the object's size as somewhere between that of a light ac and a Jetstream, though he emphasised that this was pure speculation. it made no attempt to deviate from its course and no sound was heard or wake felt. He felt certain that what he saw was a solid object - not a bird, balloon or kite.MANCHESTER ATC reports that the B737 was being radar vectored from Dayne to the ILS for RW 24 when the pilot reported a lighted object passing close by above and in the opposite direction. There was no known traffic in the vicinity at the time and no radar contacts were seen.JAS Note (1): Telephone conversations subsequently took place with both the captain and his first officer. the captain remained convinced that the object was itself lit. Although he could not determine a definite pattern, he described it has having a number of small white lights, rather like a Christmas tree. He confirmed the high speed of the object, and though unable to estimate the distance, said he felt it was very close. Following the incident, the captain and first officer independently drew what they had seen, both agreed about the shape but differing in their opinions about the lighting aspects.The first officer felt that the object was illuminated by their landing lights, which at that stage were switched on. He was unable to assess the distance, other than to say that he involuntarily 'ducked', so it must have appeared to him to have been very close. He was entirely convinced, as was the captain, that they had seen a solid object and not a Met phenomenon, balloon or any other craft with which they were familiar, or a Stealth ac, which he [the captain] had himself had seen and which he feels he would have recognised.JAS Note (2): Despite exhaustive investigations the reported object remains untraced. A reply of the Ciee radar shows a number of secondary contacts, including the subject B737, being radar sequenced in the Manchester TMA and zone. The B737 tracks over two almost stationary primary contacts just N of Leek on a NW heading while descending through FL 70-60. On entering the Manchester TMA, passing FL 50, it is vectored right onto about 040 deg, and continues to descend on a NE track along the E boundary of the Manchester TMA to within 0.75NM of the Daventry CTA, where the base of CAS is FL 45. At this point, passing 3600 Mode C, the ac is turned onto a L base for RW 24 as part of a busy sequence of inbound ac. At no time during the downwind leg is any other radar contact seen in the vicinity. An extract from the RT recording on 119.4, which shows that the B737 was given decent clearance to 4000 ft at 1845:30, follows:From:B737 (1848) - 'c/s we just had something go down the RHS just above us very fast.'Manchester - 'Well, there's nothing seen on radar. Was it er an ac?'B737 - 'Well, it had lights, it went down the starboard side very quick.'Manchester - 'And above you?'B737 - 'er, just slightly above us, year.'Manchester - 'Keep an eye out for something, er, I can't see anything at all at the moment so, er, must have,er, been very fast or gone down very quickly after it passed you I think.'B737 - 'OK. Well, there you go!'The possibility that the object might have been a hang glider, paraglider or microlight was investigated, but all the operating authorities, without exception, agreed that this was an extremely unlikely explanation, for various reasons, but mainly because none of these activities takes place at night. In addition, there are obvious hazards of flying in the dark, from high ground (the peaks in this area along the Pennine ridge range from 1600 to over 2000 ft), string winds, and because these aircraft are unlit. JAS also explored the possibility of military activity, but could find no evidence in support of this from any official source.In any case, it seems most unlikely that such a flight would have been conducted in CAS and so close to a busy international airport. Because of the B737's proximity to the uncontrolled airspace to the E of Manchester, during the downwind leg, which covers the airmiss period, the possibility of unknown military or civil activity in the adjacent FIR cannot be completely discounted. However, the likelihood of such activity escaping detection is remote, as the area is well served by several radars and any movements a the levels in question would almost certainly have generated a radar response.PART B: SUMMARY OF THE WORKING GROUP'S DISCUSSIONSInformation available to the Working Group included reports from the pilot of the B737, transcripts of the relevant RT frequencies, a video recording, and reports from the air traffic controllers involved.The Group were anxious to emphasise that this report, submitted by two responsible airline pilots, was considered seriously and they wished to commend the pilots for their courage in submitting it, and their company, whose enlightened attitude made it possible. Reports such as these are often the object of derision, but the Group hopes that this example will encourage pilots who experience unusual sightings to report them without fear of ridicule.It was quickly realised by all members that, because of its unusual nature, they could only theorise on the possibilities once normal avenues of investigation had been explored. There is no doubt that the pilots both saw an object and that it was of sufficient significance to prompt an airmiss report. Unfortunately, the nature and identity of this object remains unknown. To speculate about extra-terrestrial activity, fascinating though it may be, is not within the Group's remit and must be left to those whose interest lies in that field. It is probably true to say, however, that almost all unusual sightings can be attributed to a wide range of well known natural phenomena. there are, of course, a few which defy explanation and thus fuel the imagination of those who are convinced that there is 'something going on' out there.Usually activity of this kind is accompanied by a rash of ground sightings in the same geographic area; in this case, as far as is known, there were no other reports and therefore the incident has to be viewed in isolation, with no other witnesses. The resources normally available when investigating airmisses are pilots' reports, corroborated by radar and RT recordings. Often these will provide all the clues necessary, but in this case there is no 'reported pilot', and radar recordings do not show any unknown contacts. The lack of a radar contact is not necessarily unusual if weather suppressors are in use on radar, particularly if the object generates a poor radar response.In these conditions the radar an interpret a non-transponding (primary) contact as weather, and therefore disregards it. Enquiries into military activity did not reveal any ac in the area at the time, and it was considered inconceivable that such activity would take place so close to a busy airport without some sort of prior notification. members put forward other suggestions, such as large model aircraft or commercially operated remotely controlled craft, such as those which are used for survey or photographic work. Considering the prevailing conditions - darkness, high ground, strong NW wind and the proximity of a major international airport - the Group felt that this kind of activity, together with the hang glider/microlight theory, could not be regarded as a realistic possibility.As was pointed out by one member, however, the extreme actions of a foolhardy individual cannot be entirely ruled out and there remains, therefore, the possibility that someone, perhaps in a microlight ac (which most accurately fits the shape described ), had defied the conditions and got airborne. Further talks with the microlight experts on this idea highlighted the extreme improbability; the strong wind, terrain and darkness would have rendered such a flight almost suicidal.Having debated the various hypotheses at length the Group concluded that, in the absence of any firm evidence which could identify or explain this object, it was not possible to assess either the cause or the risk to any of the normal criteria applicable to airmiss reports. The incident therefore remains unresolved.source and references:http://maxpages.com/mapit/CAA_REPORT_ON_NEAR_AIR_MISSAliens

Abduction of Robert Taylor

Sixty-one-year old Robert Taylor was a forestry worker in the Dechmont woods in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland. On the morning of Friday, November 9, 1979, he and his red setter were doing duty in the forest when he was shocked to see a UFO hovering above the ground. The object was totally motionless, and silent.The object was dark gray in color and had a texture to it, with brighter areas reflecting above a duller background. The exterior of the craft seemed to morph from time to time, which made Taylor think it was trying to render itself invisible.He estimated the object to be about 20 feet in diameter and 12 feet tall. It had a ring of a sort around it, which caused it to appear like a brim on a hat. Protruding from the outside of the UFO were stems pointing up, and topped with propellers.All at once, two small spheres came from the object. They made a sound as their spikes moved over the earth. They came to a stop beside him, grabbing his trousers, and began to drag him back to the UFO. The spiked objects were very similar to the UFO, only smaller. Taylor could smell a strong, sickening odor. He lost consciousness.When he regained consciousness, the spheres were gone, but his red setter was still there. The dog was panicky, running around and barking. Taylor tried to calm him down, but found that his voice was gone. He was very weak, and when he tried to stand, he couldn't. He crawled for a time until he was able to stand again. He finally made it back to his pick-up truck and tried to radio his work headquarters via his two-way, but still could not speak.Attempting to drive his truck back home, he got stuck in the mud, so he started a long walk of about a mile back to his house. He arrived at 11:45 AM. His experience had lasted a little over an hour. Finally, his voice was returning. He had developed a great thirst by the time he was home. Taylor would feel ill for a time after his experience with the UFO and two spheres, and he could still smell the awful odor from the forest.When his wife saw him, she was shocked. He had mud all over him, and his pants were torn. He began to tell her of his ordeal with the UFO. His wife urged him to call the police, but Taylor felt that they would only laugh at him. Instead, he called his job supervisor, Malcom Drummond. Taylor went to clean himself up.Drummond called a doctor, and he drove directly to Taylor's house. He was so eager to hear Taylor's story that he questioned him while he was in the tub. Drummond and Taylor both felt that there should be physical proof of the incident in the forest. Since the doctor was coming to check out Taylor, Drummond headed to the scene via Taylor's instructions, but he could not find the right location.Dr. Gordon Adams would examine Taylor for his injuries. He found two scrapped places on Taylor, one on his left leg, and the other under his chin. Taylor had no apparent head injuries, and his body temperature, blood pressure, and other body signs were all within normal limits. Dr. Adams insisted on Taylor getting a head X-ray to rule out a concussion, and talk to a counselor, but Taylor put off the hospital visit until later.As soon as Drummond returned, Taylor joined him as the two went directly to the scene of the incident in the forest. Ground marking were obvious, and they called the police. Taylor, along with his wife, did go to the hospital for testing, but left when he grew tired of waiting to be seen. He had a trip planned for the weekend to see relatives, and was in a hurry to get things done for the journey.Soon, the press was aware of the Taylor's encounter, and in just a couple of days, the story was known all over the United Kingdom. Soon, it would be world-wide news, and eventually become the subject of television documentaries, magazines, and books. In time, a plaque would be erected at the site, but it was stolen.The local police department was not experienced in dealing with UFO cases, but they did file a report with interviews of all of those involved. Since an assault was part of the case, the police were obliged to send off Taylor's clothes for forensic examination.The only unusual thing found was traces of a powder, which was identified simply as contact transfer from the sack the clothes were shipped in. Police did a thorough search of records of military and civilian flight logs, and found nothing was flown over or near the forest that morning. The ground marks at the scene did not match any of the equipment used in the work in the forest.Two types of ground markings were found at the scene. The first marks were two parallel ladder-like tracks, each about 2.5 meters long, and the same distance apart. There were also 40 holes around the tracks. They were 10 centimeters across. In other words, there was undeniable proof that something had been on that spot in the forest very recently.Taylor was known by many people in the area, and they all viewed him as honest and responsible. There is nothing to indicate that he would hoax an incident of this nature.He did have a history of several illnesses, and surgeries, but there was nothing in his medical history that would indicate he had any type of head injury or psychosis that could lead to an imaginary event.A timeline done by a UFO investigator to determine the length of time that Taylor was unconscious proved that Taylor was probably out of it for about twenty minutes, give or take.If we take Taylor's account as is, he was abducted by something "other-worldly" on November 9, 1979 for about twenty minutes. There has been no evidence presented to repudiate his claims.B J BoothThe

The Roswell UFO Crash

"Roswell," the very mention of the word brings images of a crashed UFO, aliens, government cover-up, autopsies, hidden debris, guarded charred bodies, and weather balloons. In the history of UFO reports, no case has received the world-wide attention as the Roswell event of 1947. Not only did the alleged crash of a flying saucer create mass coverage at the time of the event, but remains today as an often discussed case by which all other cases are judged. So many books and articles have been written about Roswell, it is not an easy task to write another, but I feel that no UFO enthusiast cannot include it among his comments. The Roswell event is the cornerstone of UFO research. The case offers everything one could imagine; a crash of some flying craft, direct, hands on testimony of witnesses who handled crash debris, government cover-up and secrecy, and most of all a list of participants which is generally listed at around 500 first and secondhand testimonials.
Ironically, the alleged crash story originally died as quickly as it began. It would be many years before UFO researchers refueled the fire behind its enormous potential. Most all of us are familiar with the famous Roswell headline stating that the Army had captured a "flying saucer," and then the retraction a few hours later, substituting a balloon for the crashed saucer. At the time of the original event, a sense of naivety and trust gave birth to a rapid, quiet acceptance of the retraction, and there the event died. But, fortunately, it was resurrected in 1976, and has kept pace with all other events of the last 50+ years. It would be January 1976, when ufologists William Moore, and Stanton R. Friedman were mulling over some interview notes from two witnesses whom Friedman had met with. A man and a woman, who both had knowledge of a crashed saucer in July 1947 in Corona, New Mexico were the key witnesses.
A retired Air Force officer, Major Jesse A. Marcel asserted that he had first hand involvement in the crash debris, and the Air Force cover-up. The woman was Lydia Sleppy, who had been employed at an Albuquerque radio station KOAT. She claimed that the military had covered-up the story of a crashed saucer, and the bodies of "little men," who were aboard the craft. She also claimed that the Air Force had literally stopped the sending of a teletype news report of the incident.
The USA Military had announced to the world that it had captured a flying saucer on a remote ranch in Corona, and then about four hours later corrected the story, saying that what was found was just a weather balloon with a radar reflector kite. We have two stories. Which one is the truth? Though subsequent confirmations of the balloon theory continue, as long as we have firsthand witnesses who defy this explanation, the investigation must continue. Of all of the explanations given to Project Bluebook, it is quite strange that the Roswell story was never mentioned. The story that died so quickly was rarely mentioned from the beginning, the only one, to my knowledge, was in a mid-1950's lecture by UFO enthusiast Frank Edward. It seems that from the beginning, a grass roots group of believers would perpetuate this grand story. When we solve the puzzle of the many UFO reports, it will be due to this grass roots movement. The truth is hard to kill.
It would be June 24, 1947, when the term, "flying saucer" was coined by pilot Kenneth Arnold. He used this term to describe UFOs flying over Mr. Ranier, and only a couple of weeks later, the phrase was used by the Air Force to explain what had been found in Corona, New Mexico. The alleged crash debris was flown to Eight Army Air Force Headquarters in Ft. Worth, Texas, and somehow between the time that Jesse Marcel Sr. had handled the "other worldly" material and its arrival in Ft. Worth, the strange material had lost its luster, and became just a weather balloon. The Air Force had effectively murdered the eye witness accounts, and made fools of all who were involved. Marcel would categorically state that the debris he held in his hands, and showed to his family, was not the same material shown in photos of the "balloon wreckage."
What happened to the saucer debris? An uncertified, but controversial document might provide an answer. Supposedly a brief prepared for then President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, this document was authored on November 18, 1952. It asserts that on September 24, 1947, President Harry S. Truman ordered the genesis of the highly top-secret "Operation Majestic-12," to study the remains of the Roswell crash. These papers would arrive in a plain manilla envelope, postmarked Albuquerque, in the post of Los Angeles television producer Jaime Shandera in December 1984. In the early part of 1987, another copy was given to Timothy Good, a British ufologist. Good released it to the British press in May. These documents caused quite a stir, but their authenticity cannot be established beyond doubt. The jury is still out on the MJ-12 papers, but many ufologists view it as a hoax. The issue itself is not insurmountable, however, as a huge amount of evidence still remains to establish the Roswell crash as a reality.
The Roswell saga actually began in Silver City, New Mexico on June 25. Dr. R. F. Sensenbaugher, a dentist, reported sighting a saucer-shaped UFO fly over, that was about one-half the size of the full moon. Two days later, in Pope, New Mexico, W. C. Dobbs reported a white, glowing object flying overhead, not too far from the White Sands missile range. On the same day, Captain E. B. Detchmendy reported to his commanding officer that he saw a white, glowing UFO pass over the missile range. Two days later, on June 29, Rocket expert C. J. Zohn and three of his technicians, who were stationed at White Sands, watched a giant silver disc moving northward over the desert. On July 2, a UFO was tracked at three separate installations; Alamogordo, White Sands, and Roswell. In Roswell, on the same day, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wilmot saw a UFO. They report its appearance as "two inverted saucers faced mouth to mouth," moving at a high rate of speed over their house. Enter rancher Mac Brazel.

Mac Brazel
The events of Roswell began on either July 2 or July 4 (there is some disagreement here). A throwback to western days, William W. "Mac" Brazel, a sheep rancher, would etch his name forever into UFO history, a designation that he neither desired, nor appreciated. A common working man, Brazel was foreman of the Foster Ranch in Lincoln County, near Corona, New Mexico. Brazel was a family man, but his wife and children lived in Tularosa, near Alamogordo. The reason for this arrangement was so his children could attend better schools than they would at Corona. Brazel stayed in an older house on the ranch, where he tended sheep, and the general chores of the ranch. He was a simple man, content with his job, family, and his life. Mac would be thrust into the limelight for a brief period of time, and ultimately regret ever reporting what he was about to discover on the range of the Foster Ranch.
An evening thunderstorm was raging at the close of another workday, The storm was highlighted by numerous bolts of lightning. These summer storms were not uncommon for these parts, but this evening Mac noticed something different.. a sound, like an explosion mingled with the typical sounds of a storm. Two of Mac's children were staying with him that night at his farm house. Mac retired with his two children, and temporarily forgot about the sounds of that night. The next day's sun brought Mac out again to ride the fences, and check on his sheep. He was accompanied that day with a seven-year-old neighbor boy, William D. "Dee" Proctor, who often rode with Mac.
As they rode into the open field, ahead of them they noticed an area about a quarter of a mile long and several hundred feet wide, covered with debris of some type. The debris was composed of small pieces of a shiny, metallic material, a material that Mac had never seen before. The sheep would not cross the fragmented pieces, and they had to be taken the long way around that day. Because of the curious nature of the debris, Mac picked up some of it and carried it back to store in a shed. Little did he know the significance of his find.
One of his children, Bessie Brazel recalled: "There was what appeared to be pieces of heavily waxed paper and a sort of aluminum-like foil. Some of these pieces had something like numbers and lettering on them, but there were no words you were able to make out. Some of the metal-foil pieces had a sort of tape stuck to them, and when these were held to the light they showed what looked like pastel flowers or designs. Even though the stuff looked like tape it could not be peeled off or removed at all."
"[The writing] looked like numbers mostly, at least I assumed them to be numbers. They were written out like you would write numbers in columns to do an addition problem. But they didn't look like the numbers we use at all. What gave me the idea they were numbers, I guess, was the way they were all ranged out in columns."
"No, it was definitely not a balloon. We had seen weather balloons quite a lot, both on the ground and in the air. We had even found a couple of Japanese-style balloons that had come down in the area once. We had also picked up a couple of those thin rubber weather balloons with instrument packages. This was nothing like that. I have never seen anything resembling this sort of thing before,- or since..."
Later that afternoon, Mac took young Dee Proctor back home, a journey of about 10 miles. He took along a piece of the debris that he had found, and showed it to Dee's parents, Floyd, and Loretta. Mac tried to get the Proctors to go back with him, and look at the strange material strewn in the fields.
Floyd Proctor would later state: "[He said] it wasn't paper because he couldn't cut it with his knife, and the metal was different from anything he had ever seen. He said the designs looked like the kind of stuff you would find on firecracker wrappers...some sort of figures all done up in pastels, but not writing like we would do it."
Loretta Proctor remembered: "The piece he brought looked like a kind of tan, light-brown plastic...it was very lightweight, like balsa wood. It wasn't a large piece, maybe about four inches long, maybe just larger than a pencil."
"We cut on it with a knife and would hold a match on it, and it wouldn't burn. We knew it wasn't wood. It was smooth like plastic, it didn't have real sharp corners, kind of like a dowel stick. Kind of dark tan. It didn't have any grain...just smooth."
"We should have gone [to look at the debris field], but gas and tires were expensive then. We had our own chores, and it would have been twenty miles."

Jesse Marcel Sr.
The first hint that the debris could be "not of this world" would come the next night from Mac's uncle, Hollis Wilson. Mac told Hollis about his find, and Hollis urged Mac to report the findings, since there had been reports of "flying saucers" in the area as of late. On July 6, Mac was going to Roswell to strike up a deal for a new pickup truck. He took along some of the debris, and stopped off at the Chaves County Sheriff's Office and spoke to George Wilcox. The story of the find was not significant to Wilcox until he actually handled a piece of the silvery material. Wilcox telephoned the Roswell Army Air Field, and spoke to one Major Jesse A. Marcel, who was the base intelligence officer. Marcel told the Sheriff he would come into Roswell and talk to Brazel about his find. Word of the goings on began to spread rapidly in the community, and soon Mac was talking to radio station KGFL about the incident. Mac told the station what he knew over the telephone.
Marcel and Brazel met at the Sheriff's office. Mac told Marcel what he knew, and showed him a piece of debris. Marcel reported the results of his interview to Colonel William H. Blanchard back at Roswell Army Base. A decision was made for Brazel to go out to the site, and investigate for himself. Marcel would take his old Buick, and Army Counter Intelligence Corps officer Sheridan Cavitt accompanied him in a Jeep all-terrain vehicle. Following Marcel back to the ranch, it was too late that day to visit the site, so they all three stayed in Mac's ranch house. After a dinner of beans, the three headed to the site the next morning. After a brief look around, Mac left Marcel and Cavitt, returning to his chores.

Radio station KGFL reporter Frank Joyce informed his boss, Walt Whitmore Sr. about the recent developments, and Whitmore drove out and picked up Brazel and took him to his home in Roswell. There an interview took place, all taped into a recorder, but the interview would never be made public. Threats from the military would prevent the transmission of the tape. The next day, Whitmore took Brazel to the radio station, and called the Roswell Army Base. What Whitmore told the Base is not known exactly, but the military came and picked Mac up, and transported him to the base, where he was a "guest" of sorts, for about a week. On July 8, the military returned Mac to the Roswell Daily Record, where a press conference was conducted.
Oddly enough, Mac's story was somewhat different after his "stay" at Roswell Army Base. Mac now said that he and his son had discovered the debris on June 14, but he was so busy, that he didn't pay it any attention. He stated that some weeks later, on July 4th, he, his wife, and two children drove out to the debris field, and collected some samples. Among the collection were gray rubber strips, tinfoil, a type of heavy paper, and small wooden sticks. Mac further asserted that he had found balloons on several occasions, but that this debris was totally different from the other finds. "I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon," he said. "But if I find anything else beside a bomb they are going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it," he said.
Mac's military escort led him out to a car after the conference, and drove him to KGFL. Eye witness accounts say that as Mac left the newspaper office, he kept his head pointed to the ground, and did not speak to any of his friends who were present at the time. Brazel went into the radio station without his escort, and began telling Frank Joyce the same story he had related at the press conference. Joyce was shocked by the sudden change in the story's details, and interrupted Brazel at one point, asking him why he had changed his story. Brazel became upset at the question, and stated, "It'll go hard on me."
After this interview, Mac was taken back to the Army Base. After finally being released from Roswell Base, suddenly Mac didn't want to discuss his find anymore. Those who knew him say that in private, he complained about his harsh treatment by the military. He was not allowed even to call his wife during his stay at the base, and he told his children that he took an oath to never discuss the details of the debris field. Within a year after finding the strange debris, Mac had moved off the ranch he loved so much, into the town of Tularosa, where he opened a small business of his own. He passed away in 1963. All of this for a weather balloon?
Major Jesse A. Marcel was the intelligence officer at Roswell Army Air Force Base, which was home of the only bomb group in existence at the time. It should be noted that all of the personnel at the base had high security clearance. Marcel was a veteran officer, who was trusted fully. He had been a highly skilled cartographer before World War II, and was sent to intelligence training by the Army, because of his impeccable character. He was even an instructor for a time at the training school. He also logged over 450 hours of combat duty as a pilot during the War, and was highly decorated with five air medals for shooting down enemy aircraft. After the War ended, he was chosen as a member of the 509th Bomb Wing, handling security for "Operation Crossroads," which conducted nuclear testing in 1946. After being awarded a commendation for his work on the nuclear project, he was named the intelligence officer for Roswell AAFB.
Marcel was on a lunch break when he received a phone call from Sheriff Wilcox. Wilcox informed him that rancher Mac Brazel had found debris from a crash of some object on a sheep ranch. Marcel went to town, talked to Brazel, and reported his findings to Colonel Blanchard. Marcel was given orders to go to the site, which he did, accompanied by CIC officer Sheridan Cavitt. Arriving too late for ample light for a search, the two soldiers spent the night with Brazel, and then proceeded to the sight the next morning.
Marcell related the events of the search through the debris in his own words: "When we arrived at the crash site, it was amazing to see the vast amount of area it covered."
"...it scattered over an area of about three quarters of a mile long, I would say, and fairly wide, several hundred feet wide. "It was definitely not a weather or tracking device, nor was it any sort of plane or missile."
"I don't know what it was, but it certainly wasn't anything built by us and it most certainly wasn't any weather balloon."
"...small beams about three eighths or a half inch square with some sort of hieroglyphics on them that nobody could decipher. These looked something like balsa wood, and were about the same weight, except that they were not wood at all. They were very hard, although flexible, and would not burn at all. There was a great deal of an unusual parchment-like substance which was brown in color and extremely strong, and great number of small pieces of a metal like tinfoil, except that it wasn't tinfoil. I was interested in electronics and kept looking for something that resembled instruments or electronic equipment, but I didn't find anything.
"...Cavitt, I think, found a black, metallic-looking box several inches square. As there was no apparent way to open this, and since it didn't appear to be an instrument package of any sort, we threw it in with the rest of the stuff." "It had little numbers with symbols that we had to call hieroglyphics because I could not understand them. They were pink and purple. They looked like they were painted on. I even took my cigarette lighter and tried to burn the material we found that resembled parchment and balsa, but it would not burn , wouldn't even smoke," "...the pieces of metal that we brought back were so thin, just like the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes," "...you could not tear or cut it either. We even tried making a dent in it with a sixteen-pound sledgehammer, and there was still no dent in it." Having rode to the site in two vehicles, Marcel sent Cavitt back to the base with his Jeep full of the material, and Marcel took his Buick, and stopped by his house to show his wife and son his amazing find.

Jesse Marcel Jr.
Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr.(Marcel's son):
"The material was foil-like stuff, very thin, metallic-like but not metal, and very tough. There was also some structural-like material too,- beams and so on. Also a quantity of black plastic material which looked organic in nature." "Imprinted along the edge of some of the beam remnants were hieroglyphic-type characters."
When Marcel arrived back at the base, he was instructed by Colonel Blanchard to load the debris on a B-29, and fly with it to Wright Field in Ohio, stopping on the way at Carswell AAFB in Ft. Worth, Texas. The military was hard at work at Roswell. Colonel Walter Haut was given an order from Col. Blanchard to write a press release stating that the RAAF had in its possession a "crashed saucer." According to Haut, the saucer was transported to the 8th Air Force, to be turned over to General Ramey. Haut discharged his duty, and finished the press release he'd been ordered to write, giving copies of the release to the two radio stations and both of the newspapers. The famous headlines hit the newspapers.
"RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION"
When Marcel arrived at Carswell, Brigadier General Roger Ramey, Commander of the 8th Air Force took full charge of the case. The debris from Brazel's field was taken into Ramey's office, and photographed. The photographer was James Bond Johnson. Marcel was in one photo with the real debris. Ramey took Marcel into another office, and upon their return to Ramey's office, some new and different material was spread on the floor. Marcel, under orders, stated that this debris was from a weather balloon. After more photos were taken, Ramey sent Marcel back to Roswell, along with a stern warning not to disclose anything he had seen at Carswell. It was then reported that General Ramey recognized the remains as part of a weather balloon. Brigadier General Thomas DuBose, the chief of staff of the Eighth Air Force, after many years of silence would state: "[It] was a cover story. The whole balloon part of it. That was the part of the story we were told to give to the public and news and that was it." There can be NO doubt that the orders to cover-up the saucer story came from our Chief Executive.

General Ramey
Marcel was stunned to find upon his return to his home base, that he was made a laughing stock because he ignorantly misidentified the balloon material with that of "something unknown." Some three months later, however, Marcel was promoted to Lt. Colonel, and assigned to a new program. He was in charge of testing atmospheric particles to detect Russian atomic discharges. When he was interviewed in 1978, he maintained that the debris he found on the Foster ranch was definitely NOT a weather balloon. He insisted that it was like nothing he had ever seen...
Through the first part of the Roswell story, we have heard of strange debris, and two different explanations of what that debris was. So what about the alleged alien bodies, an actual saucer on the ground, or an alien autopsy? To accurately continue our quest for all of the facts behind the Roswell case, me move to a new location. The site is San Agustin, near Magdalena, New Mexico. This story is based upon the testimony of Vern and Jean Maltais. The couple states that in February 1950, an engineer friend of theirs, Grady L. "Barney" Barnett told them that while working in the fields near Magdalena, July 3, 1947, he had come upon a crashed disc-shaped object. This flying disc had alien bodies strewn about it. There were aliens inside and outside of the craft. As important as this seems, there is a flaw in his story. It seems that Barnett's wife kept a diary of his comings and goings. His wife stated that his diary did not corroborate the date as July 3, 1947. This may or not mean anything, as surely a mistake could have been made, or a date mixed up, or plans changed after the entry was made.
Barnett's claims were controversial though, until yet another witness would come forward which would shed new light on his claims. After an airing of a "Roswell Crash" segment on the popular "Unsolved Mysteries" show in 1990, Gerald Anderson came forward with some fascinating details. Anderson states that he and his family were hunting rocks on the Plains of San Agustin in early July 1947, when they also came upon a crashed saucer-shaped craft. The craft had four dead aliens inside. Though Gerald was only six years old at the time, the extraordinary sighting was one he would never forget. To take matters a step further, archaeologist, Dr. Buskirk, and five of his students also came upon the crash scene. Anderson's story also has holes in it, however. It seems that Dr. Buskirk was a former teacher of Anderson. Records indicate that the Doctor was in Arizona at the time of the alleged sighting.
There is also a case for a second crash near Roswell. Testimony of mortician Glenn Dennis, along with Captain Oliver Wendell "Pappy" Henderson seem to substantiate this theory. The actions of the military can tell us a lot. Supposedly cordoning off the area, and removing every iota of the debris field does not make sense if all that was there was weather balloon material. Much importance must also be put upon Marcel. His word seems to be above reproach. He states without wavering that the debris was NOT balloon material. He should know. He also states that the debris he brought from Brazel's field was NOT the debris in the newspaper photographs. What about all of the eyewitnesses? In all fairness, it must be said that many of the witnesses are NOT first hand. We know how stories can be changed, or amended by being passed down the line. But there are also many firsthand witnesses. What about their testimony? If their stories are all lies, then a large group of people, some unbeknownst to the others, have perpetuated one of the best organized conspiracies in the last century. Let's examine the testimony of these "first hand" witnesses. Maybe the truth is out there after all. Is there a way to reconcile all of the different theories into one authentic account of the events of Roswell?
The Roswell UFO Crash (3)
What about the alien bodies? There are many rumors about the "little men." Some say there were three, some say four, some even count 5. Let's see if we can find the truth behind the rumors by relying on eye witness testimony.
Ray Danzer, a plumbing contractor, was working on the Roswell Base. He was standing outside of the emergency room, when he saw alien bodies being brought into the base hospital on stretchers. Dumbfounded by the event, he was shaken back to reality by military police who warned him to leave, and forget what he saw.
Steve MacKenzie saw four bodies around the crashed UFO. He said that another one was out of sight.
Major Edwin Easley was commander of the Military Police who cordoned off the crash site. He related to his family that he made a promise to the President that he would never speak of what he saw that day.

Major Edwin Easley
Herbert Ellis, a painting contractor at Roswell AAFB, reported that he saw an alien "walking" into the Roswell Army hospital.
Mary Bush, who was secretary to the base hospital administrator, told mortician Glenn Dennis that she saw "a creature from another world." She was called on to assist two doctors in a hospital room where three "alien" bodies were being examined. Though suffocated by an overwhelming odor from the bodies, she clearly recalled that the aliens had four fingers, and no thumbs.
Joseph Montoya, Lt. Governor of New Mexico, told Pete Anaya that he had seen "four little men." One of them was still alive. He states that they had oversized heads, with big eyes. Their mouth was small, like a cut across a piece of wood. "I tell you they're not from this world."
Sergeant Thomas Gonzales, with the 509th, was a guard at the crash site, and saw bodies he called "little men."
A member of the Army COINTEL, Frank Kaufman, saw a "strange looking craft embedded in a cliff." He also states that he saw debris being put into crates which were stored under heavy military guard at Roswell AAFB.

Frank Kaufman
Again, we must ask the question. Are all of these witnesses lying? Are these stories simply fabrications? What are the odds? How far would this kind of testimony go in a court of law? The conclusion to me is obvious. Although every tiny detail can be put under a microscope to find fault and error, it is only a normal human assumption to believe this story. There is just too much evidence to support it. Many researchers have, in my opinion, wasted countless hours trying to find fault in a report by one witness or so. At times, there have been discrepancies found in a date, a name misspelled, a time of day an hour or two off, and these researchers believe that the ability to discredit one witness makes it logical to assume that ALL of the other witnesses who say essentially the same thing are not to be believed. On the contrary, when so many agree on one general concept, even with small errors in detail, all the more reason to believe the consensus of the gist of the whole.
There can be NO doubt that a flying craft of unknown origin crashed into the deserts of New Mexico. At least three dead bodies were found, and examined. It seems that possibly one of the aliens lived through the crash. Many theories abound about the location of these bodies, and the crash debris. I have no answers to that end. There are just too many first-hand witnesses to the events of Roswell not to believe their accounts. The saga of Roswell continues even today.

Staffordshire Mini UFO Flap

August 2004
For those who remember August 2004 in the UK, you'll recall it was cool, wet and thundery, but for Staffordshire UFO Group it was an eventful time. From the start of that month we had been made aware of a sighting by a retired RAF Engineer of an orange ball of light late one night in the area of Cannock. Events took a sudden turn on Saturday 7th when a call was received again from Cannock at 9:55pm. The witness described an orange ball of light seen at around 9:40pm which was silent and stationary with an unusual triangular shaped pattern in its centre. The object hung in the sky for several seconds before shooting away at high speed. The following day more reports came in describing a similar object either shooting across the sky or remaining stationary for short periods. Now statements have been analysed, it is now possible to ascertain that the first sighting occurred in Perton near Wolverhampton at 4:20pm where video footage was taken of 6 silver objects high in the sky in two 'V' shaped formations. Analysis of this footage indicates that the objects are not wind borne with some unusual anomalies that are still being analysed. The second report comes from Shenstone at 5.45pm (again in daylight) of a bluey/white light. Subsequent reports were received from Stafford and Millford of an orange ball of light at around 9:20pm. A photograph was taken at Shugborough Hall showing a curious orb of which the photographer was unaware. Sightings of this orange ball of light often described as having something at its centre were then seen between Stafford and Cannock and later in the areas of Shenstone and Lichfield up until the early hours of the 8th August where again video footage was taken at 2am on the 8th . The strangest thing about these sightings is the shear number of reports that were received, not just from the night time but daytime also. In addition, two independent video recordings were made of both the daytime objects and the orange ball of light. Also two individual photographs were taken, one from Millford, the other in Shenstone. In conclusion and notwithstanding the fact that research is incomplete, the sightings have proved beyond any shadow of doubt that people were witnessing something. The photo and video footage will never prove that the objects witnessed were extraterrestrial but the body of witness testimony adds credence to the evidence surrounding the facts: 'something did happen, something was photographed', ‘something was out there.’ The investigation will continue! source: Graham Allen (SUFOG) Staffordshire UFO Group Note: The still is from footage taken at approx 2am 8th August 2004 in Lichfield, Staffordshire, UK.

Bonnybridge UFO Claim

-Another Strange UFO
Location: Falkirk-Published Date: 20 March 2008-Local residents contacted The Falkirk Herald to provide eyewitness accounts of a mysterious flying object last Thursday night. It is the latest unexplained sighting in the village, which has become known as Scotland's 'UFO capital.' Colin Doyle, (28), from Hallglen, said: "My colleague and I were just coming back from a job in Bonnybridge about half past 9 and we saw this object with flashing lights in the sky. "By the shape of it there was no way it was a plane. It looked oval shaped with flashing lights all around it, so we got out the van to have a look. After hovering for a while, it then just shot up into the sky and the speed it was going was phenomenal." He added: "Before I just didn't believe these stories, but now I can safely say I do believe there must be something." Gary Harkins (28), from Bonnybridge, said: "I was out walking my dog along the canal at Bonnybridge around about half 9 and saw this object in the sky and there was no way it was an aircraft. It was kind of saucer-shaped and was hovering above the ground around the height of high-rise flats and had flashing lights. The object continued to hover about for a few minutes and then just shot away at unbelievable speed." "Seeing something like that just takes your breath away," he added. Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan, said: "These sightings highlight that the phenomenon is still ongoing, as people are still seeing something which has no rational explanation." "The more people come forward and report these incidents and put them on record, the greater the credibility. "If people see something they should report it to the Police and then contact The Falkirk Herald," he added. source & references: http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/news/Bonnybridge-UFO-claim.3899729.jp

Kenneth Arnold Sighting-1947

Although the history of UFOs can be traced back to early cave drawings, pictures, and folklore, the modern era of the study of UFOs is usually believed to be the 1947 sighting report of nine "flying saucers" made by pilot Kenneth Arnold on June 24, 1947. Arnold was aiding in the search for a missing plane when the sighting occurred. He did not believe his story would be believed, but swore that it was true. Arnold related his sighting to the Chicago Daily Tribune: "The first thing I noticed was a series of flashes in my eyes as if a mirror was reflecting sunlight at me..." "I saw the flashes were coming from a series of objects that were traveling incredibly fast. They were silvery and shiny and seemed to be shaped like a pie plate...What startled me most at this point was...that I could not find any tails on them." Arnold estimated that the objects were flying at an altitude between 9,500 and 10,000 feet, and at a great speed. After clocking them from Mt. Ranier to Mt. Adams, he arrived at an estimated speed of 1,200 miles per hour. "It seemed impossible," he said, "but there it is...I must believe my eyes." The term "flying saucer" was coined, not by Arnold, but a reporter. Arnold made the statement that the objects moved, "like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water." East Orengonian newspaper reporter Bill Bequette paraphrased Arnold's statement when he placed the story on the AP news wire. Arnold's term "saucer-like" became "flying saucers." The US military attempted to ignore the press reports of Arnold's sighting, but as the story grew, they felt compelled to take action. A meeting to discuss a course of action was held at the Pentagon on July 7, 1947, only a few days after the Roswell crash. Taking charge was Chief of the Army Air Force Air Intelligence Requirements Division, General Schulgen. The group made the decision to follow up on "qualified" observers' reports of flying discs. Three days later, Arnold received a request from Continental Air Command to appear for an interview, regarding his report. Two Counter Intelligence Corps investigators would carry out the investigation. The results of this session were included in Project Blue Book. Arnold's report was one of the first of 850 different UFO reports to make US media by the end of July, 1947. More than anything else, Arnold was in the right place at the right time to forever be an important part of the history of UFOs.

The Ilkley Moor Alien

One of the most unique accounts of alien abduction comes to us from the Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire, England. The witness and subject of this case is a former policeman named Philip Spencer. Spencer claims that in the early morning of December 1, 1987, he was taken aboard an unidentified flying craft, and after his release managed to snap a picture of one of the alien beings.
The Ilkley Moor is very much as you would picture it. Reminiscent of the setting of the moors of Baskerville Hall in Conan Doyle's "Hound of the Baskervilles." it is an eerie place. It has been said that "The Ilkley Moor can scare you to death during daylight, and at night it's even worse." It is a place of mystery. There is the Swaztika stone; boulders etched with strange markings; the Badger Stone; and the Twelve Apostles stone circle.
Many times the only living creatures on the moor are the sheep. Ilkley has other legends too, like the hovering lights at night, which bring occasional reports of UFOs. Strange, swirling lights that are filtered through the fog which seems to have a mind of its own. Possibly some of the mysterious sights can be attributed to the not too distant Menwith Hill Military Base, or the nearby Leeds Bradford Airport. The activities of these two facilities will not, however, explain what happened to Spencer. There were also stories of strange creatures that roam across the moor at times.
After four years of being a policeman in another city, Spencer had moved his wife and child to the Yorkshire area to be closer to her family. He was walking across the moor on this December morning heading for his father-in-law's house, and on the way was hoping to get some photographs of the strange light tricks of the moor. To be able to get the images he desired, he was using a high ASA rated film to compensate for the poor light in the area. Unfortunately, the picture that he took was somewhat blurred, but there is no doubt that the creature in the photo is a one of a kind being which basically resembled the small grays.
Along with his camera, Spencer also took a compass to navigate through the fog before sufficient daylight shone through the moor. As he was searching for some photo angles, suddenly he caught the sight of a strange looking being in the slopes ahead of him. He aimed and snapped a picture of the creature which seemed to be gesturing for him to stay away. It then ran away. Spencer gathered his wits and took off in pursuit of the being. Today he says he doesn't know why. It was just an impulse reaction. He arrived just in time to get a glimpse of a flying craft with a domed top rise up from the moor and disappear into the sky. Atop the dome was a whitish square. He was not able to get a photograph of the object.

original photograph of alien
There was silence now. When he saw nothing else of the being or its craft, he began to walk to the nearest village. This walk took about 30 minutes, and during this time, a couple of things became apparent to him. First of all, his compass now pointed south instead of north, and secondly, the village clock showed the time an hour ahead of his..
Spencer was confused now. Did he see what he thought he saw? To answer this burning question, he headed by bus to the nearest town with instant film development. Sure enough, he had a picture of the creature! It looked to be about 4 foot tall, and had a blue-green tint to it's skin. He knew he had something of importance, or at least, he thought he did. He found the proper channels to contact UFO investigator Peter Hough.
Hough knew what he was hearing was a "too good to be true" case, and it worried him, but after meeting Spencer, he was convinced that he was a man of integrity and was not seeking fame or fortune for his picture. There was no reason to not believe what Spencer had told him. Hough began a thorough investigation. The film with the alien picture would be the first thing to undergo professional scrutiny.
The alien picture was first looked at by a wildlife photography expert. The object in the image was not an animal of any known kind. It could not be determined either way if the figure was animate or static. A reconstruction of the original site did establish the alien's height at or near 4 and one half feet. The photograph was next sent to Kodak laboratories in Hemel, Hempstead. An analysis showed that the object was indeed part of the original photo, and not superimposed. This conclusion did not, of course, determine what the creature was.
Next, the picture was sent to the United States for computer enhancement and analysis. Dr. Bruce Maccabee, optical physicist with the United States Navy rendered his expert opinion;
He stated that the slow film speed used for the low light conditions made the film too grainy for proper testing. "I had great hopes that this case would prove definitive. Sadly circumstances prevent it from being so," Maccabee stated.
Something strange was noticed in the picture. Appearing on the hill at exactly the spot where Spencer says the UFO was, is a white square. Could it be that he had gotten a part of the UFO in the shot unknowingly? He was not sure.
The Ilkley Moor Alien 2
The final outcome of the investigation of the alien picture? There is not a way to prove hoax. There is also no way to prove that the strange creature on the moor is alien. I must state here that opinion on the authenticity of the picture is pretty much split among interested parties. Some UFO enthusiasts are hopeful that more evidence will emerge to substantiate the claims of Philip Spencer. There are those who do not believe that the figure is alien. Why?... since there is not definitive proof either way.? Because they don't want to. The picture taken of the creature was in color, and what is mostly available on the net is a cropped, black and white photo. We have a scanned copy of the large color photo and a large version of the black and white film. See them both HERE
Hough's next step in his investigation was to look at Spencer's compass. There was no doubt that it would have had to be subjected to a strong magnetic field to alter its direction from north to south. Hough discovered that a magnetic resonance scanner would duplicate the effect. There was also the fact that there was no way to prove that the reversed polarity of the compass was accomplished at the alleged scene of the event. To perpetuate a hoax, Spencer may have affected the magnetic change before going into the moor. Hough was not done yet. He utilized a University to do radiation tests at the scene. No radiation was found. He also had Spencer tested by a psychologist. In his opinion, Spencer was telling the truth, as he knew it.
Spencer had begun to have strange dreams of starry skies, and was still puzzled by the missing time he experienced, so the final test would be subjecting him to regressive hypnosis. The session was conducted by Dr. Jim Singleton, at Arthur Tomlinson's home, on March 16, 1988. Also there were Peter Hough, and Mathew Hill, a journalist friend of Hough who was to operate the three tape recorders.
Here is a transcript of the session:
JS- I want you to cast your mind back to the 1st December last year when you set off across the moor. I want you to clear your mind back to that and I want you to re-experience that. I want you to tell me what you experienced.
Spencer- I'm walking along the moor, oh! its quite windy. There is a lot of clouds. Walking up towards some trees. I see this little something, can't tell, but he's green it's moving up towards me. (We later found out that Jon had took the photo after his abduction and the creature was waving goodbye) Oh! I'm stuck I can't move and the creature still coming towards me. I'm stuck and everything gone fuzzy. I'm, I'm floating along in the air I want to get down! (He later told us he was levitated 2 feet off the ground and the creature was in front of him like a child pulling a balloon on a string). I still can't get down and I don't like it. I'm going round this corner and this green thing is in front of me. Oh God! I want to get down! (long pause) (breathing faster) There's a there is a big silver saucer thing there's a door in it. And I don't want to go in there. (worried sound in his voice) (sigh) Everything gone black now. (pause).
JS- you say everything gone black?
Spencer- Mmm! I can't see anything like I'm asleep, can't hear anything. (short pause) There's a bright light now. Can't see where it's coming from? I'm in a funny sort of room I can hear this voice saying don't be afraid. I don't feel afraid anymore. I can still see this green thing but I'm not afraid anymore of it. I'm being put on a table. I can move now if I want to, but I don't feel frightened any more and there's a beam like a pole it's above me it's moving up toward me. It's got a light in it like a fluorescent tube. It's coming up from my feet I can hear that voice again saying "we don't mean to harm you and don't be afraid." Makes me feel warm as it moves up me it's coming up over my stomach towards my head. Close my eyes I don't want to look at it in case it hurts my eyes. It's gone! (pause) there is something my nose feels funny (shows movement of nose) that's gone as well, I'm standing up now I don't know how I got stood up? I can see a door there is one of these green creatures motioning for me to come with him. Don't really want to go with him. I'd rather stay here I don't feel afraid in here (pause).
JS- Can you tell me what's happening now?
Spencer- I'm walking towards a door there is still a bright light there is light all around want to know where its coming from its just bright all around. Walking down a corridor there is a window. Oh! God!(sounds shocked)is that real? (deep sigh) (pause) (sounds afraid) don't want to be up here want to be down there? I can hear that voice again saying you've got nothing to fear. Its pretty though didn't realize it looked so pretty. (What Jon was looking at through the window was the earth seen from high in space just like the Apollo astronauts saw. Iv gone past the window now I'm walking down a corridor. (long pause)
JS- What's happening now?
Spencer- Come to the end of the corridor. There's a hole opened in it so I can walk through. I'm in a big room-a big round room, I'm on a raised platform against the wall. My camera and compass are trying to get away from me. Going towards the ball. It's difficult to pull them back down again, and this balls moved round with strange its got some blocks on it he says we cant stay in here to long he wants us to go out again the holes closed in the wall its gone strange he says I've got nothing to fear but Id still like to go home (pause) its got such big hands.
JS- What's happening now?
Spencer- Going down a corridor again. its very bright still I wish I knew where the light was coming from. And there is another door, going through a door it's an empty room two of those green creatures have come with me. there's a picture ,it's starting to move on the wall wonder how they get the pictures?
JS- Can you tell me what's happening at this point?
Spencer- I'm looking at the pictures on the wall. (long pause)
JS- Pictures on the wall?
Spencer- Mmmm. Creatures seem concerned at the damage that its doing. Picture changing now there's another picture, another film he's asking me a question he says do you understand? I said yes. It's time to go. Everything gone black. I'm walking up the moor again, I'm walking near some trees. Some movement - I can see something. A green creature. I've shouted to it. It's turned round. I don't know what it is. I'll photograph it it's turned around now. It's moving quick want to know what it is. I'm running after it, it's gone round a corner, I can't see it now. There's ... There is a saucer (laughingly), big silver saucer! It's disappeared? I'm walking on down gone past the trees.
JS- What's happening now?
Spencer- I'm going home. It's ten o'clock on the town hall clock. Can't really understand it was only eight o'clock.
JS- You mentioned some green creatures. Would you try to describe them to me?
Spencer- It's quite small. He's got big pointed ears, it's got big eyes. They're quite dark, he hasn't got a nose he's only got a little mouth. And his hands are enormous. And his arms are long. He's got funny feet.
JS- Funny feet?
Spencer- They're like a V shape like two big toes. Must be difficult to walk like that. He shuffles rather than walks. I don't feel afraid of him although he looks odd.
JS- You mentioned big hands? Can you say anymore about the hands?
Spencer- It's got three big fingers, like sausages. Big sausages. They're just very big. Bigger than my hands.
JS- About how tall would you say these creatures are?
Spencer- It's about four foot. Comes to the lump on my stomach. He's about as high as - just a bit bigger than my stomach is.
JS- Okay. Now I wonder if I can ask you another question? you mentioned a film?
Spencer- There were two films.
JS- Two films?
Spencer- One was lots of scenes of destruction like on the news. Can see lots of waste going into the river, and people like Ethiopians who are starving. It's not very good, it's not very nice.
JS- Want to say anything more about that film?
Spencer- It's much of the same thing, only different.
JS- What about the other film then? Do you want to tell me about it?
Spencer- I'm not supposed to.
JS- I'll leave that up to you entirely, do you want to say anything about that?
Spencer- I'm not supposed to tell anyone about the other film, it's not for them to know.
JS- Is there any thing more?
Spencer- No.
As Spencer regained his missing memories, he gave us a fascinating tale of alien abduction. He was taken aboard the craft that he had seen lifting up from the Ilkley Moor. He was given medical-type examinations before being released. He could now remember that it was after his release from the UFO that he took the picture. This one fact would be extremely important:
Hough had dealt with a lingering problem with the picture, the time element. Climatic information gathered about the conditions of December 1, 1987, made it almost impossible for Spencer to have taken his picture at the time he had stated. However, and this is extremely important, if the regressive memories are accurate, the conditions would be right to duplicate the lighting conditions of the photograph, which was taken at least an hour after Spencer thought.
The witness of a UFO/alien event is as important as the report itself. The case of Ilkley Moor rides high on the character of Spencer. Through the years, Spencer and Hough became good friends, and still see each other from time to time. There has been no change in Spencer's account of what he saw that day.
He has sought no money from the case, and signed over all copyright privileges to Hough in early 1988. Spencer desires no fame from his account. Is the picture of the Ilkley Moor alien real? There is no way to say. It could be some type of mannequin or doll staged for the photograph, or it could be the picture of the century. Time will be the judge. Until that time, the search for more information continues.

The Alien Interview / Area 51

Area 51: The Alien Interview video is color video footage claimed to have been obtained by a man who identifies himself only as "Victor," who purports it to be of an extraterrestrial being interrogated at a government facility. Victor maintains the footage was copied from a top-secret video originally recorded at Area 51. For fear of having his identity pinpointed, he never specifies whether he was an employee at the facility, but vaguely states that he "had reason to be present at Area 51... more than once." Though the Alien Interview documentary states the copy was smuggled out of Area 51, Victor once again strays from details by never specifically saying where the copying took place. He merely insists that an instance of "data leaking" occurred during a massive transfer of video documentation from video analog to digital disc storage in a "(lower) security system." Victor took advantage of the circumstances to copy the footage. On July 26, 1996, after several unsuccessful attempts to get network television companies to view and subsequently air his video, Victor contacted Rocket Pictures, an independent home video distribution company based in Los Angeles. Company president Tom Coleman, though reluctant at first, agreed to produce a documentary based on the video after his telephone conversation with Victor. Coleman sought the opinion of outside experts before going forth with making the documentary, and invited ufologist Sean David Morton to view the video. On March 13, 1997, Morton, being interviewed by Art Bell on the Coast to Coast AM radio show, made mention of the video and described it in great detail, thus marking it the first time the general public became aware of the video's existence. Victor himself would be interviewed by Bell just two months later. Calling from a phone and using a device to alter his voice, Victor also went into detail over the contents of the video. The alleged alien in an interrogation room. The video is approximately two minutes and 55 seconds in length. It contains the bold white characters "DNI/27" imposed in the bottom left corner while a clock that runs upwards from "04:00:18:15" to "04:03:12:25" during the duration of the video appears in the bottom center. A diminutive being that fits the description of that of the Greys is seated at a rectangular table. The subject, which Victor says was brought to Area 51 after its craft was shot down in 1989, is situated behind the end of the table farthest from where the video is being shot and is behind a large piece of glass which Victor describes as part of a "bio-containment area" meant to protect the alleged alien from microbes and viruses. Reflected in the glass is what appears to be two television monitors. The alien's head appears to be covered in bruises and what Morton suggests is a heart monitor can be seen on the table in front of the being. A person who Victor claims is a military officer attempting to communicate with the alien telepathically can be seen in the left foreground, while a more casually-dressed human figure can alternately be seen entering/leaving the video in the right foreground. The room where the interview is taking place is very dimly lit, so darkness obscures the two and reveals them as nothing more than two unrecognizable shadowy figures. For the same reason, only the creature's head is continuously visible, while brief glimpses of its torso are also shown. About halfway through the video, the alien becomes visibly distressed and appears to begin suffering from violent spasms and bouts of choking/gagging. The military officer signals for two medics, wearing scrubs and masks, to come to the aid of the convulsing alien. The medics shine a flashlight into its facial orifices, and one begins to wipe foam away from its mouth. At this point the video ends. It contains no audio, which Victor says he deliberately removed so that he could protect the anonymity of those who appear in the video. The footage has the characters DNI/27 burnt into the bottom line of the frame, along with what appears to be the time code numbers for date, minutes and seconds. The letters DNI could be an acronym for the Department of Naval Intelligence, the group responsible for the Area 51 base, a fact not many people know about. The DNI connection to Area 51 has been widely investigated. George Knapp, the TV journalist who encouraged Bob Lazar to go public with his knowledge has shown that Lazar's pay cheques from the time he claimed to be working at Area 51 had DNI stamped on them.

The Piney Woods Incident

Cash-Landrum
An extremely haunting UFO sighting which has well stood the test of time was an event which took place in the Piney Woods of Texas, near the town of Huffman. On the chilly night of December 29.1980, two women and one child encountered a craft of unknown origin, and all three suffered not only emotional trauma, but severe physical injury as well. A drive through the Piney Woods of Texas at night is a lonely, somewhat spooky one to begin with, but on this particular night, a routine drive turned into a life changing event for these three people.

Fifty-one year old Betty Cash was driving through the woods traveling from New Caney to Dayton on Farm to Market road 1485. Riding with her was her friend, Vickie Landrum, fifty-seven years old, and Vickie's seven year old grandson, Colby. They were looking for an open Bingo game, but found all of them closed down for the Holiday season. They stopped for a meal at a restaurant, and then continued their journey. Soon, the three began to see a light in the distance, and in a few short minutes this light became a glowing object, slowly crossing the tops of the tall pine trees. The area that they were in was densely occupied by pine and oak trees, surrounded by occasional swamps and small lakes. As they proceeded along their way, their initial thought was that the object was an airplane or helicopter from one of the airfields not too distant from their location. Suddenly, ahead of them loomed an immense diamond-shaped craft, which was hovering over the road ahead of them! At regular, fast intervals, the object would shoot down a stream of reddish-orange flames. Vickie would later describe it as being "like a diamond of fire". Being a devout Christian, she had had never believed in UFOs or extraterrestrials, and at this moment, she believed that she was witnessing the end of the world.

They could also hear a constant beeping sound as the strange craft spit out its fiery downspout. Frightened, Betty came to a quick stop to keep from running under the craft. The car's heater had been running to kill the frosty air of the night, but now the inside of her vehicle was so hot she had to turn off her heater, and leave the car, along with Vickie and Colby. Now outside of the vehicle, they could hear a steady roaring sound coming from the frightening sight ahead of them. Young Colby became so afraid that his grandmother took him back into the car to comfort him. Betty stayed outside. In some strange way, she was fascinated with the almost unbelievable vision before her. As she stood watching the craft, suddenly the sky was full of helicopters. Betty said, "They seemed to rush in from all directions...it seemed like they were trying to encircle the thing." She assumed that they were from Tomball Airfield, northwest of Houston, or Ellington Air Force Base, south of Houston. The eerie object now began to lift into the air, and proceed to the southwest, with helicopters in pursuit.

As Betty returned to the car, the door handle was so hot she could hardly open the front door. Her hand was burned getting inside. She immediately turned on her air conditioner to cool off the inside of the vehicle. After the object had left the area, they restarted their vehicle, hoping to get home and never see the craft again. But after several miles of dark highway, they left the Farm to Market road in favor of the freeway. Ahead in the distance, they could again see the object with its bright lights illuminating the helicopters which were still trying to encircle it.

At this vantage point, the two ladies could actually count the number of copters in the air, 23. Some of them they identified as the double rotor CH-47 Chinook; the others were the faster, single engine rotor type, which they thought were Bell-Huey.
After a fast trip home, all three of the witnesses became extremely sick within the next few hours. Betty's head and neck were blistered, and soon her eyes were swollen shut. She was also terribly nauseated. By the next morning, she was almost in a coma. Vickie and Colby suffered very similar symptoms, yet not as severe as Betty's.
After a couple of miserable days being cared for at Vickie's home, Betty checked into a hospital where she was treated as a burn victim, remaining for 15 days. Her hair began to fall out, and her eyes swelled so badly, she could not see for about a week. Colby had problems with his eyes, and Vickie was losing her hair also. In addition, her scalp was numb and painful. All three of the victims were treated for radiation poisoning, and their condition was listed by doctors as life-threatening. Before long, skin sores developed, weight loss began, and skin cancer was diagnosed.

As to the origin of the helicopters, local air bases were questioned, but would not admit to sending any helicopters out that night. The only public statement made by military officials came from Fort Hood press officer Major Tony Geishauser. In an interview with the Corpus Christi Caller newspaper, he stated that no Fort Hood aircraft were in the Houston area that night.

"I don't know any other place around here that would have that number of helicopters," he said. "I don't know what it could be... unless there's a super secret thing going on and I wouldn't necessarily know about it."
The black top road was badly damaged by the emissions from the craft that night, but it was very quickly repaired. Investigators were at a loss to explain the events of that night, except to say that Betty, Vickie, and Colby had encountered a craft of undetermined origin, or possibly an experimental government craft. The three unwilling participants in this event sued the U.S. Government for medical damages, but during a congressional hearing, the Department of the Army Inspector General denied any military involvement in the case, and disallowed any compensation for the three unwilling participants in the Piney Woods affair.
There would be several other witnesses to the strange craft / and or helicopters of that night. Among them were:

An off duty Dayton, Texas policeman and his wife who were driving home from Cleveland the same night and saw a large number of CH-47s.
A Crosby, Texas man who was directly under the flight path, reported seeing a large number of heavy military helicopters flying overhead.
A Dayton, Texas, oilfield worker Jerry McDonald saw a large UFO fly directly overhead while he was in his back garden. He thought it might be a blimp at first, but soon knew it was something more sinister. "It was kind of diamond shaped and had two twin torches that were shooting brilliant blue flames out the back", he said. He saw that it had two bright lights on it and a red light in the center.

In a freaky circumstance of luck, corroboration of the unknown object of that night would come in 1981. In April, a CH-47 flew into Dayton for the purpose of a public showing. This allowed local residents to view the machine, both inside and out. Colby spotted the helicopter as it was flying into town, and became very upset. Vickie took him to the landing site, hopefully to allay his fears. As they reached the Chinook, a long line of locals had already formed, waiting to see the giant machine. When their turn finally came, Vickie and Colby entered the helicopter.
Accompanied by another visitor in addition to Colby, Vickie began to recount her experience in the Piney Woods. Vickie and the other unnamed witness both claimed that the pilot said he had been in the air the night of the traumatic sighting. He was sent to check on a UFO that was in trouble near Huffman! Vickie began to discuss her injuries due to the burns and radiation poisoning. Upon hearing her confession, the pilot quickly clammed up, and moved them out of the craft. The pilot was later found by the UFO group VISIT. He would only admit that he knew of the Cash/Landrum case, but refused to admit that he had been in the area the night of the sighting.

INJURIES CAUSED BY UFO CLAIMS WOMAN'S LIFE
Betty Cash, one of three people injured in a UFO close encounter near Huffman, Texas, on December 29, 1980, died on the 18th anniversary of the event, in Birmingham, Alabama. She had been in poor health ever since the encounter. At the time of the event, Mrs. Cash operated her own businesses near Dayton, Texas.
Betty Cash, along with Vickie Landrum and grandson Colby Landrum, encountered a huge UFO accompanied by military helicopters on a dark road in the east Texas Piney Woods. They were exposed to radiation from the object, which caused extreme medical problems such as burns, eye damage, hair loss, diarrhea, and vomiting. Although they and others observed a large number of military helicopters along with the UFO, the U.S. Government refused to acknowledge the event or assist them in any way.
After the encounter, Betty Cash was hospitalized and treated for burns and the other maladies. The extent of the injuries was so great, she was forced to close her businesses and never worked again. He life became a series of hospital stays, many of them in intensive care. Eventually, she developed cancer, which was successfully treated. In November 1998, Mrs. Cash suffered a stroke. On December 29, during her recovery, an unusual turn of events claimed her life.

Mrs. Cash was a hero in the fight against government UFO cover-ups and brought hope to other victims of UFO incidents. She was devoted to family and friends and never allowed her illness to prevent her from helping others to cope with the trauma of UFO close encounters.
Betty Cash will be missed...but never forgotten.
Peter A. Gersten Director

In 1981 I represented three People in a lawsuit against the United States Government for injuries that resulted from their contact with an unusual aerial object. Betty Cash, Vicky Landrum and Colby Landrum are the only three People to ever sue our government for injuries from a UFO

. On the eighteenth anniversary of her encounter, Betty Cash died.
Betty Cash was a warrior and heroine. She fought the US government and, even in defeat, showed a spirit and tenacity that will now be her epitaph. CAUS and I pay tribute to a very brave lady...and a victim of this government's callousness to the rights of the individual. The following is the announcement of her death:
From Peter Gersten, Attorney, 1-3-99

Betty Cash and Vicki Landrum were interviewed in 1981 at Bergstrom Air Force Base. The UFO Casebook has a transcription of this taped session.

Aliens Filmed in London?

Being a UFO investigator, and in communication with a lot of people all over the world, at times I get a story that is just too good to be true. In my opinion, the following is one of those. But you can be your own judge. The story itself is believable, yet the accompanying pictures are the "too good to be true" part of the account. The pictures are said to be still frame captures from video cassette, and they are certainly good enough for everyone to at least have a look at them. According to the anonymous sender, this is what happened.
London, England, 1999:

Mr. Unknown was awakened sometime in the middle of the night by the louder than usual sounds of his neighbor's dog. Being shaken from slumber, he had a very strange feeling, either from something odd going on outside, or the remnant of a bad dream. To rule out the former, he took a walk outside to see if he could pinpoint the cause of the dog's heightened state of alarm. He was immediately drawn to a strange light in the sky. The light seemed to emanate from three spots, the brightest being in front of two others behind it, creating a triangular shape. He was staring at a triangle-shaped UFO.

Mr. Unknown sped back into the house and grabbed his video camera. He was hoping to film the UFO before it disappeared, but instead he filmed what he claimed to be a type of small, ghost-like beings who seemed to be rummaging around behind his fence. The total length of the film was about four (4) minutes. The strange beings made a sound which was barely audible, and somewhat muffled. The sounds of the small beings had attracted him to the area. Mr. Unknown was frank in stating that he was a student of the Paranormal, and had experienced strange occurrences before. If any further information becomes available, I will add it here.
