however, we are-as indeed with manyother hypothetical solutions-merelyreplacing one unknown with anothei,for the terms 'Devilish,' 'demonic t

e1c, will conjure up different concep-tigry (or no conception at all) indifferent people.

I feel it should be emphasised-andby no means do I refer solely to sug-gested- angelic or demonic origins-that far too many researchers

- com-

mence with a set view of what con-stitutes the UFO problem and thenproceed to produce cases, facts andfigures supporting their own partic-ular preconceptions, whilst ignoiing orgiving the minimum of atiention toother aspects. Certainly, no possiblesolution should be neglected: on theother hand, neither should any hy-pothesis be treated as fact and elehentstending to support other viewpointstreated with indifference.Agreed: the religious aspect shouldnot be ignored, but neither, however,should it be regarded as the heavensent(?!) solution to the UFO enigma.

Points from the PressValerie Martin

The Bucks Herald of 5 Octoberhad a drawing of the large spher-ical object seen by several people,circling the Vale of Aylesbury.A Rowsham uloman first observedfrom a window, a prominentbright light displaying red lights,and running into her garden sawand running into her garden sawa metallic-looking craft with differentshades of grey which were dimly lit,pass over rooftops. Some boys atWingrave saw a saucer-like obiectgradually moving upwards slowlyaround the same time.

The Stafford Newsletter of 13 Octoberreported the flood of sightings re-ceived by our research director, TonyPace. Most occurred the previousThursday evening and varied from a

circle of flashing lights surrounding aline of red and green ones) to a hori-zontal line of one green and two redlights surrounded by yellow and redflashing ones, which shot off appearingin another part of the sky, making upand down movements. A couple sawtwo bright lights going up which littheir garden like daylight.

***The South London Press of 17 Octoberrecounted the strange experience of a

dustman, who, driving to work earlYthe week before, was frightened by thesight of a triangular black object witha silvery sheen underneath and flashinglights at two corners, above StreathamHigh-road. Described as eight ornine times the size of a plane, ithovered silently for 10 to 15 seconds,then twirled around and slowly wentin the direction of Mitcham, making a

roaring noise. Norman Oliver, nnas,commented there had been nothing

As a result,Norman Oliver rvas 'contacted anddescribed as a down-to-earth chap, whowould not easily have the wool pulledover his eyes by OT*T" jokers !

The Bideford and North Deaon Gazetteof 27 October, and other Devon papers,gave coverage to the proposed form=

ation of a North Deoon UFO StudyGroup based at Bideford. Mr H LCobley, vice-president and foundermember of the British Flying SaucerBureau, who is also a Bufora member,organised a meeting at the StrandCinema, with the co-operation of theManager, Mr J Goodall. Mr Cobleytold the audience including Buforamembers, that there had been severalunreported close encounters.

(Credit-Harold Cobley has asked us topoint out that in the North DeoonJournal-Hearld item in the November-December Journal, it was not his son butthe son of the nezlspaper's feature writerwho had a UFO photo poorly repro-duced in the Journal-Herald).

***The Manchester Eoening Nezos of 6November had a feature on Jack Webb,former star of TV series Dragnet andnow producer of NBC series " ProjectUFO's " which shows cases from theUSAF Project Blue Book. !7ebb hadnot only obtained a microfilm of thedocuments, but also the services of thechief spokes-T

Yttt: T. Coleman.

The Eoening Advertiser of 2 Novemberhad the story of a young UFO watcherwho photographed a red object movingacross the sky. Swindon's AerialPhenomena Investigation Club pro-duced an image of a blurred ball oflight, insufficiently clear to print in thenewspaper.

***sThe Watford Evening Echo of 24October and many other papers, men-tioned the disappearance of the Aust-ralian pilot following the sighting of anobject with green lights. Since thenthere had been hundreds of UFOreports around the Victorian coast, butsenior pilots said that Venus had tended

to change colour when viewed ataltitude.

***The lYhitstable Times of 24 Novemberreported that a UFO was spotted bylocal weather expert, Percy Hatton,who accumulates data for Bracknellweather centre. \fizhile making hisdaily observations the previous Thurs-day at 7.15 am, he saw a block of lightgrey vapour moving rapidly from eastto west across the sky. Then a glis-tening silver plate-shaped object"ap-peared in front of the vapour whichincreased in size, accelerated and dis-appeared. Four staff members of anold people's home later said they hadseen a stationary oval orange-shapedobject around the same time.

***Neus of the lVorld of 17 December hada report that French police are investi-gating an engineer's encounter with aUFO which nearly caused him to falloff his motorcycle, near Chapelle-de-Suxleu in the south. It had aerials,four legs and looked like a ' giant lum-inous hedgehog.' It swooped quite closeand tried to follow him, his wife andfamily. It was also seen when hearrived home.

***The Birmingham Eoening Mail of 30November reported the mysteriousevents along Italy's Adriatic coast forthe past six weeks. First, the bodiesof two fishermen were found besidetheir capsized boats, their deaths at-tributed to unknown causes. Then aseries of eerie sightings, 60 ft columnsof foaming water burst from a glassysea, red lights rocketed skywards upto 200 ft and white ' globes of fire'were seen travelling at high speedunderwater. Unidentified echoes onradar followed trawlers back to port,broke the fishermen's nerves and theydemanded naval escorts.

The Sunday People of 7 January con-tinued the strange happenings inItaly. Seven near Naples claim theywatched an 8 ft tall 'Martian' inshining suit walk up and down for fivehours and repeated their story severaltimes to diferent hypnotists. ThreeA1 Italia DC-10 pilots saw a 100 ydlong UFO travelling at 1500 mph.A Naples professor of meteorologywatched one for 10 minutes performaerobatics no plane could manage.Three soldiers in Sicily claim to haveseen strange men gefting out of asaucer on Mount Etna, and on Christ-mas Eve, a station technician was tem-porarily paralysed as a glowing redUFO partially blinded him.

***The Daily Telegraph of 2 January hadan article on the New Zealand sighting.Sir Bernard Lovell and other astron-omers were quick to refute the ideathat the UFOs were from otherplanets. In its leader on 3 January,the editor criticised the scientists foroverstating their case, in contrast toit's science correspondent's continuingcrusade against the existence of UFOsnow extended to witnesses and in-vestigators. Subsequent reports men-tioned the Ead of Clancarty's debateand the large demand for seats for it.On 5 January, an account of an allegedlanding appeared. In South Africa,a former nurse and her son unable tosleep, went for a midnight walk westof Johannesburg. They saw a pinklight and suddenly came across a thingin the road with five or six beings infront of it. She told her son to fetchhis father, then the creatures, who werewearing white or pink suits and one ahelmet, jumped in the air and van-ished through a door into their craft.The long steel-type legs began tostretch out and with a humming noise,the object disappeared into the sky.

Further January editions reported aspate of UFO sightings from Israel,ranging from a red ball over Haifa, tosparkling red, blue and purple lightsabove Jerusalem. The air force saidnothing showed on radar screens.

A UFO was seen over Poland. TwoKrakow residents claim to have seena big ball beaming red light, whichdisturbed their car engine.

***\[ith mass media in the grip of UFOfever at New Year, probably because oflack of news of industrial unrest, due toChristmas shutdown, prominence wasgiven to the UFO sighting over theNorth East. The explanation laterwas the burning up of the rocket-launcher of satellite Cosmos 1068,sent up the previous week.

***The North Norfolk Nears of 5 Januaryhad an article on the large' spaceship'seen off Cromer and Skegness simul-taneously on 31 December at 7 pm.First impressions were of an aircraftabout to crash, but this was discountedby air traffic control at West Drayton,who said there were no planes in thearea at the time. Coastguards atCromer saw what at first looked like abig light then an airship, which lookedabout 200 yds long and 2 to 3 milesout at sea. It had bands of whitishlight coming off in all directions and aline of red and green lights down oneside. It was also reported by pilotsflying to Amsterdam and further sight-ings were from Tyne, Teeside andHumber. The current popular ex-planation that it was re-entry of spacedebris was discounted because it wastravelling horizontally along the coastfrom north to south.

***The Tunbridge lVells Adaeniser of l0January had a report by a woman and

her fiance who were driving down theA2l near Hildenborough and sawsomething ' like a huge headlight' inthe sky. They stopped the car furtheron and observed a cigar-shaped movingobject, with wings like an aircraft,which were lit up right along. Al-though high in the sky, they said itlooked enorrnous.

***The Folkestone Herald of 27 lanuaryhad an account by local postman, PaulHillier, who while delivering mail earlythe previous Tuesday, saw a yellowflashing light behind rooftops which

lit up the sky. It got nearer, turnedorange and stopped flashing. It wasnoiseless, but massive and travellingvery slowly about 100 to 200 ft up.He described the shape as diamond-like and really 'funny ' but he feltfrightened. It headed out to\MardsDover and then suddenly vanishedwithout a trace. Coastguards andRAF Manston had no report of theincident and the latter said their radarsystem would not record a low-flyingobject over Folkestone. Strange lightsover Dover had been reported somedays earlier.

Book Reviews" IJFOs: WHAT ONEARTH ISHAPPENING ''by lohn \ilheldon

On the whole, I foundthis book interesting, andoverall it gave a fair picture of theUFO phenomena in general, togetherwith various viewpoints. Ifowever,there was some emphasis on one aspectof the Occult side of this, referring todemonic activity, which led me tocriticise the author's viewpoint inas-much that he might have overlookedthe atrocities in past ages of man's in-humanity to man, and on comparingUFO phenomena in relation to De-monic activity, and earth's past history,it would seem that ' demons' have their' being' in all aspects of Life, possiblyUFOs also to a degree. Therefore,it is as well to keep a balance in ourapproach.

There is an abundance of evidence ofpossible demonic activity throughoutthe ages on earth between our own kindbut I doubt if anyone can prove thesame where UFOs and occupants areconcerned.

Perhaps 'ignorance ' might be a betterterm to use, instead of demonicactivity, ignorance that is, on the partof some aliens from Space, and ignor-ance on our part, but not necessarilyevil intentions. Maybe, we see areflection of our own fears of the' unknoron,' when confronted with suchmysterious objects.

Uforum' Ouch ' was my first reaction on read-ing Mr R Jones Pugh's letter in thelast Journal, and I can only say that myown 'facts' on the 'ponies' incidentwere culled from what I had hithertoregarded as fairly responsible andfactually accurate newspapers.

Naturally, as he is a member of theRoyal College of Veterinary Surgeonsas well as a most able UFO investigator,I accept his own more knowledgeablecomments-but I would have likedit far more had Mr Pugh actually seenthe evidence first hand and not from acolleague, and I say thar with thegreatest respect-my reaction stem-ming from the newspaper reports was,I hope, understandable, not only tothose who have studied the other'animal mutilation' reports from manyparts of the world over the years, butalso, taking Mr Jones Pugh's othercomments into consideration, becauseI have always regarded myself as afairly 'logical ' person, not given toflights of fancy; this ' logic' has beenfurther enriched by my personal sight-ings of what we still have to call UFOsover the years, in circumstancesand situations-multi-witness or not-which my mind at first refused toaccept as being anything other thannormal mundane objects or incidents.

Each of these has had me racking mybrain for an 'earthly ' explanation-to the extent of contacting local AirStations, MOD, Police, etc, whoseanswers have actually only served tomake one feel that there acnrally IS amystery!

Of course I have an'imaginan'i67x'-surely we all have some traces of thismental ability which might well sep-arate us from other denizens of thisworld-but other percipients will, Ifeel sure, vouch for the literally mind-

wrenching trauma that one enduresafter one has gone through the various' earthly' explanations and found one-self in a corner which admits no exitor escape other than the one that dis-closes with absolute finality that weare very small fry indeed, struggling atthe bottom of a murky pond, withtantalising and sometimes encouraginghints of what we might become if wethrow away our environmental con-ditioning.

Once a percipient-and whether he orshe is a ufologist at the time is irrel-evant-has passed this milestone, lightdawns where others may still be don-ning their glasses for a closer look!

I can assure Mr Jones Pugh that I havenever accepted a pure 'LITS' asanything other than just that, unlesscircumstances change my opinion-they remain iust that in some casesbut how would one imagine or ex-plain in ' logical' terms a small white' blob' witnessed by myself and acolleague at a different location (I hadtime to phone him), which rose slowlyin the Southern night sky in 1978 untilalmost overhead, was then ' lost'through telephoning my colleague andre-located travelling the opposite waypursued (or followed, since the dis-tance remained constant), by a smalljet aircraft whose noise contrastedto the 'blob's ' silence. This 'dffise?went on for up to forty-five minutes,criss-crossing the sky, by which time.I had to leave for an appointment.

Next day my colleague reported thateither the same, or a new aircraft,took over the chase for a further perioduntil all disappeared over the horizon.My mind said 'satellite' in the earlystages (I was studying Mars ar the timeand the object first appeared low down

continued oaerleaf

-I

beneath this planet), but, in the end,watching the' chase,' I telephoned thelocal airport, since the craft were al-most directly over in that direction,although very high, and they suggest-ed, after a detailed description, that' e7' was a' meteorite'! . . . .Incredible!No, Mr Jones Pugh, I would suggest,in all humility, that it is not my ownmind which is credulous: it is not myown mind which 'rejects a normal andscientific answer in faztour of the ozter-imaginathse'-to quote your words-as you may well agree from the fore-going incident, one of many. I findthat it is the' fficial 'mind that servesto nudge one into thinking that thereis 'more in it than meets the eyer' aquotation I've heard from many formersceptics made suspicious by ' fficial'and' expert' answers.

Finally, I have been forced to believe,until shown otherwise, that it is notthe' answer' to it all that is urgent orimportant, it is the searching we doin the process that matters.

E Sears,Portswood,

Southampton.

In your brief review of the House ofLords Debate (Vol 8/1, p 3), you werequite right to record the remark of LordDavies of Leek: ' If I . . . . said I had

'belief structures.' \7hat we see wetend to believe, or to interpret inaccordance with our beliefs; and, moreimportantly, what we believe we arecertainly prone to see. In the case ofthe Virgin Mary, for example, it ishistorical fact that ' she' wai seen bysome psychic girls at Fatima, Portugal,in 1917, and that 'her' appearanceshave since been linked with UFOsightings. Roman Catholics, in gen-eral, accept that the apparitions wereindeed the Virgin Mary. Non RomanCatholics, on the contrary, believe nosuch thing and consider the wholeaffair was some sort of psychical con-fidence trick. In their judgment, mostRoman theology concerning the VirginMary is spurious anyhow, which lendsweight to their conclusions that theFatima miracles and messages weredefinitely not of God, but quite theopposite-a point of view consistentlyheld by the original priest of the parish,incidentally. In other words, thesepsychical/UFO phenomena, it is ar-gued (I argue it myself in my bookUFOs and the Christian), were en-gineered to destroy straightforward be-lief in Jesus Christ alone as the Saviourof all.

I hope Bufora will not dodge the re-ligious dimension of Ufology merelybecause it is awkward; (it is extremely

seen the Virgin Mary springing out of a awkward). In many respects, as yourock, some deoout religious people would know, the modern spate of sightings isbeliezte me; but if I had seen a flyingsaucer they would not belieae me. Whatis the difference. ?'

I attended the debate and considerthat these words were quite the shrew-dest of all. The way in which theywere emphasised by the speaker (andthe way in which the Bishop of Nor-wich reacted) brought home to listenersthat the religious dimension of UFO-ism is all-important.

The fact is, we are dealing with

8

intrinsically similar to the classicalFatima case. The psychological/phy-sical/religious aspects are identical inall essentials. On the one hand thereis the pseudo-theology of extra-terrestrials, highly intelligent beings;benign elder brothers coming to saveus, or at any rate to ovefsee us for ourown good. This belief structure, in-creasingly absorbed by the youngergeneration, is then ' confirmed' bymore and more sightings, even in-cluding messages) as at Fatima.

Of course, I regard this sortof develop-ment with ever greater apprehension,because I am a minister of Christ, theonly Saviour of mankind. You maydisagree with this view, but I submitthat it can no longer be disregarded.It may well be the heart of the matter.

Rezt_Eric- In-glel!1,Fairford, Glos.

The Reo Inglesby has requested his letterbe printed in full, and, hazting examinedit carefully,I must agree that to omit anyportion utould haoe detracted from itscontent. The possibility of religious in-oolaement in the UFO phmomenon is aIegitimate field for speculation, but I

would ask correspondents to azsoid in-cluding comment that could be cons*uedas using these columns for the purpose ofattacking other religions or denomin-ations.-Ed.

Report-Extra !Obiect dropped from M3 UFOSecurity manager Paul Brown and hisstep-brother, David Barrowcliffe, animmigration officer with many years ofaircraft obse.rvational experience weredriving along the M3 motorway in thegeneral area of \Valton-on-Thames:it was a few minutes after 1 am on 18December 1978. Suddenly they not-iced an obiect in the sky to the leftwhich had large red lights at each end:it approached their car and was seen tohave more red lights round it and tohave the shape of a disc.

Something ' dull silzter lihe a ball' thendropped from the object, floated acrossthe motorway and landed in a field onthe other side. The UFO was now inlevel flight about two hundred feet up

and Paul drove on to the hard shoulder,switching off the ignition to listen: thesound the object was making was sim-ilar to that of an electric train boostingits motor. Four red lights surround-ing a dark grey disc could now beclearly seen as the object moved offin the opposite direction to that inwhich they'd been travelling. First itwent slowly, then faster-up to anestimated 200 mph, staying in line withthe motorway and showing two smallwhite lights at the rear.

Although there had been a fair amountof traffic about before the incident,the M3 was completely clear when thesighting occurred.

It was between 6.45 and 7.00 am on 31

January t978, a very clear morningwithout a cloud in the sky. Mr Bar-trop was walking along $Thittle Road,Chelmsford to get his morning paperwhen he saw a bright light high in thesky: this moved downwards and dis-appeared from view. Fifty yards far-ther oh he reached the newsagents onthe corner of Crompton Street andthen saw an object appearing veryslowly from behind the end of theroof of the ' Crompton n Vorks.First a wing came in view, then twovery large, bright, yellow-orange lightsand finally, the other wing-tip so thathe had a full front view. It was about50 feet above the ground and onlyabout 60 feet away from his position.As it hovered be became scared,thinking it might crash on top of theshop, but by the time he managed tomove, the object had disappearedbehind a row of houses.

UFO Tracks CarInv B Taylor

Driving back to Scunthorpe fromSkegness on Monday, 3 July 1978with his wife and sister as passengers,Mark Smith stopped the car when hiswife saw two bright lights hovering inthe sky shortly after passing throughMarket Rasen at about 11 pm. Thin-

king it was probably a Harrier iump-jet, although pttzzled by the absence ofnoise, he restarted and they drove offalong the road to Caister: the objectfirst followed, then hovered overhead.

Mark stopped the car again, and theobjet' flew backwards' and disappear-ed at great speed, so the journey wasagain resumed. The UFO returned

-each time it appeared on the passen-

ger's side-and' paced'them till Cais-ter was reached: here, it again leftthem, but reappeared once more assoon as they were in the open on theotherside of the town. Thesamethingoccurred at Bigby and at Brigg (wherethey stopped to report the incident tothe police); finally, on the Scunthorperoad they entered a heavily woodedarea where it was lost to sight. Oncehome, the police were again contactedand they checked with Kirmington air-port where it was confirmed that noplanes or helicopters had been in thearea.

The object was dark and roundish:the two very bright lights were itsmain feature, but at one point when ithovered low overhead, numbers ofred,green and orange lights were seen also.No vehicle interference was experi-enced.

miles distant he noticed two red lightsapproaching. Thinking they were air-craft lights, he continued fishing for afew minutes whilst they moved to-wards him between 50-80 mph, around1500 to 2000 feet up.

When they were half-a-mile away, hecould see they were not lights on oneaircraft, but were two independentflying objects. There was a FullMoon and the things looked like' traditional flying saucers.' They werepropelled by what sounded like'whining turbines,' and at the rear ofeach craft were amber lights whichappeared to pulse in synchronisationwith the upward and downward tur-bine droning. Both craft then main-tained their course slowly and un-swervingly towards Southend, untilthey disappeared from sight.

South Norwood HexagonIno K Phillips

Ian Vincent, aged 14 was travelling inhis father's car at about 8 pm on 16December 1978: they were going inthe direction of the Crystal Palace TVmast in Norwood, SE London, whenhe saw a' sizeable object' with flashinglights. This moved slowly over thetop ofthe car, where, for a few seconds,it was lost to view: then, his brothersaw it again and they watched it forabout twenty seconds until it dis-appeared from sight.

The obiect was estimated to be onlybetween 50 and 75 feet above groundlevel, seeming to be hexagonal withred and yellow flashing lights: its bodywas black, but there was no difficultyin making out the edges. Ian adds:" I belieoe I saw a UFO, but notnecessarily an extra-terresffial space-uaft."

Mrs Duke was walking up the roadfrom the bus stop with a friend, re-turning to her Portslade, Sussex,home: the time was about 5.20 pm,and as they stopped for a moment tochat at the junction of their two roads,they saw an object coming towardsthem from beyond the hills. As itcame closer, they could see it was noplane. Two very bright white lightswere at the front, and as it passed over-head, they could see bright red lightsall round the edges ofits circular shape.When it went by there were seen to beanother set of two white lights at therear. The object was not moving as

fast as a plane and made a quiet hum-ming sound. The date-26 Novembert978.

Hornchurch6 Boxcs and Pipes '

Imt A Collins

Certainly this is a most extraordinaryreport and one cannot help feeling thatif the boys concerned had wished toperpetrate a hoax, something rathermore conventional would have beenclaimed.

The two boys, Anthony Chapman, 15and a friend, were playing on the oldaerodrome at Hornchurch, Essex, atabout 3.30 pm in April or May 1978.Glancing up, Anthony saw a strangeobject stationary above them and givesthis extraordinary description . . . .

A large rectangular box, possibly 100feet long with two connecting pipesprotruding from each side, slightlyoff-centre: these pipes were sphericalwith a possible diameter of 6 ft. Atthe end of each pipe was a smallerrectangular box, maybe half the size ofthe larger one. The whole object wassilver in colour ' like metallic tinfoil.'Underneath the main 'bor' were tworcd' dots ' at the front and rear flashingon and off alternately.

Anthony became scared and called outto his friend, who was about 100 yardsaway to look up. He did so and alsosaw the object. Both then walkedaway looking back every so often: eachtime they thought the object hadmoved a little east-wards, but thiscould have been due to their ownmovement. They then left the air-field for home, the sighting havinglasted ten to fifteen minutes.

Andy Collins comments on the ap-parently non-aerodynamic shape and,remembering the comments of oneTV 'expert' on the non-aerodynamicshape of the 'conventional' saucer,one cannot help wondering what hewould have made of this one!

Cairo Craft'73Ina D Osman

On 14 February 1973 in Geza, NearCairo, Egypt, Richard Stubbs walkedonto the balcony of the apartmentwhere he was staying and saw threecraft with flat undersides and domes ontop, moving slowly towards the pyra-mids not much above ground level.He watched them for about ten seconds,then went in to call his friends to look,but they had gone out. The time was7.30 pm, the day clear and sunny andthe brightness of the obiects was com-pared to that of the Moon. On allthree craft, a number of windows wereseen, these being lit up. Subsequentlyabout a dozen Egyptians they spoke tosaid that the objects had been seenbefore.

***Portsdown6 Giant Mushroom'

Imt E Sears

. or so ran the headline in TheNears of Portsmouth, Hants on 11November 1978. It is included hereand not in Points from the Press sinceBufora member E Sears made a follow-up investigation: he found some de-tails to be at variance with the pressaccount, but these were comparativelyminor ones.

On Tuesday, 7 November 1978, ataround 7 pm, Mr & Mrs Mailing, withtheir daughter Karen (7) and sonKevin (5) were . travelling towardsDroxford in their red Austin 1300.As they approached Nelson's Monu-ment on Portsdown Hill, a brightlight-at first thought to be a star-was seen in the sky: this travelleddownwards from ASVE (the AdmiraltyS urJau lY eap ons E s t ab lishment).

As they drove on, two red lights be-came visible as well, then the shape

of a huge dome-shaped object withIuminous green lights around thebottom giving the appearance of win-dows. Continuing on, they found theobject was hovering above the car, andits size was compared to that of abuilding in the course of erectionalong the Southampton road. (MrSears found this building to be inthe region of 200 feet across, so eitherthe obiect was enormous or its dim-ensions were considerably over-estim-ated). Its height above them was amere 20 feet, and Mr Mailing thenfound that although the car was trav-elling downhill and he had his footright down on the accelerator, nospeed could be gained.

After hovering for a few seconds, theobject then shot off towards Farehamat terrific speed. In Mrs Mailing'swords: " All we could see u)as thisobject floating in cornplete darkness.It appeared to be black with oery brightglwing lights on it-a bright whiteglowing light on top, Iike a searchl'ight,then just below, two red lights roith?rulnerous green I'ights all arotmd thebottorn."

No sound came from it.

This area is devoid of buildings otherthan a few huts and two orthree houseson the perimeter of neighbouringfields, but Mrs Jessie Burley, a mile orso away in South Portchester, also re-ported an object with very bright lightsby the Nelson Memorial at the sametime, as did Sidney Dyer, who stoppedhis car some three miles away towatch the " so rerribly bright light werPortsdwn Hill."The investigator is familiar with thearea, and this route in particular,which is unlit, and not one that wouldbe travelled along at more than 20-30mph, and he points out that thepossibility should not be overlookedthat in the confusion of the sighting

Mr Mailing MAY have absentminded-ly braked whilst trying to accelerate.He also points out that whilst theobject was described as noiseless, anynoise might have been obscured byrewing of the engine.

Strange Encounterat Church Stowe

Ina R PearcyThis experience of Mrs E Oakensen,Head of a Teachers' Centre is certainlyone of very high-strangeness. Herown account of what occurred coversall the points of the incident so com-pletely that (other than the headings),I am quoting from it verbatim.

tt Hour-glass t' over A5" On Wednesday, 22 November 1978,I left Daventry for home at approx5.15 pm. That afternoon I had col-lected my car from the garage andbefore leaving checked that my lightswere in working order. I found thatone of the front side-lights was notfunctioning. When I reached thetraffic lights at'Weedon, I turned righton to the 45. Ahead of me I could seetwo very bright lights immediatelyabove the road. The left one was red,the right one green. My immediatethought was that this was a very low-flying aircraft which would soon zoomover my head. However, it seemed tobe stationary and as I drove towards itwith my nose practically pressed onthe windscreen, 1 looked haid at it andrealised that very soon I was going todrive directly underneath it." There were wispy clouds in thedarkening sky and I could see a formI would describe as an hour-glass oregg-timer shape on its side. A lightwas under each circular end. The' th'ing' was no more than 150 feet up.

continued ooerleaf

15

It was not a dark colour: it blended inquite well with the sky . . . . I couldhear nothing at all unusual and droveimmediately underneath it . . thetwo lights were directly above the roadby the layby at the bottom of StoweHill.

Engine stopped" Completely intrigued by this situ-ation, I made a point of looking backwhen I turned off the A5 at the top ofStowe Hill. Church Stowe is a verysmall village high on a hill, and travel-ling along the road towards it I wasable to look back and observe theselights which remained in the sameposition. In the half-mile or so ofroad, f looked back three times: eachtime the green light was flashing andthe red was not. About half-a-milefrom the A5 I turned right into thevillage in second gear. I changed up

to third-and the next thing I knew,my foot was hard on the acceleratoipedal which was flat on the floor of thecar. There was no sound from theengine at all: my lights were sdlltunctioning, but the engine was dead.The car was slowing down and had al-most .reached the point of stopping.I told myself not to panic buf -start

from scratch and see what happened.I did NOT switch the engine on(the red ignition lights were not on):I changed from third to first, depressedthe accelerator and the car -started

normally. I drove about 100 yards toa right-angled bend in the road andwas, by that time, in third gear again.

" Piercing circles of light "" The next thing I knew my car wasstationary: everything was in absoluteblackness: my engine had stopped:the lights were out. Everywhere was

black, real black darkness, not like thaton the A5. Suddenly, piercing, bril-liant white circles of light about a yardin diameter came from nowhere, on-off,on-off, on-off, starting to the left ofmy car, round in front of it, to the rightback again in front and to the left,again in front and off to the right andthe last one disappeared into the air:there were about a dozen flashes in alland when the lights hit the ground,they lit up the farmyard to my left, theroad in front of me and the path andgarden of the house to my right.After the last light had gone out, thewhole area was in complete darkness.I have never seen Church Stowe insuch darkness: it was absolutely black:I could not even see the houses at theside ofthe road.

Time lapse ?

"My carwas stationary. . . . but. . . .

the next moment I was driving my carquite normally in third gear and I drovemyself home. I did NOT stop mycar. I did NOT switch offmy engine.I did NOT switch off my lights.After these piercing white light circleshad gone out, I did NOT switch onmy ignition. I did NOT put my carinto gear. I did NOT depress myaccelerator pedal. I did NOT startthe car. I found myself just drivingalong normally. I can remembercoming to that corner. I do not re-member stopping, but I had stopped:f was stationary whilst the .lights

flashed in front of me. I did not startmy car off after that, it all happenedas if by remote control.

" I drove home, put the car in thegarage and looked out of the bedroomwindow (we are very high up) over towhere I had seen the red and greenlights. By then, clouds were thick-ening, but I could see a yellow, flashinglight approximately where they hadbeen.

" I cannot explain any of the happen-ings of that journey. I arrived homearound a quarter to six. That journeyhad taken about 10 minutes longerthan normal. The next day the samejourney took me 15 minutes and onrounding the corner where the lightshad flashed, my own headlights lit upthe road, the houses and farm buildingsand everywhere seemed light althoughI was arriving at a later time in the day.

" I believe there was a time lapse theprevious day. I don't understand theblackness, complete blackness in thevillage the day before. Incidentally,the bulb in my sidelight now functionsnormally. It might also be relevantthat at approximately 1.00 pm andagain about 7.00 pm on that S7ednesdayI experienced a tightness in my head,which could be likened to a shrinkinghat which I could not remove. Oneach occasion this lasted for about aminute, stopping as suddenly as ithad started."

Taunton Glose Encounters-Part OneSeveral months ago I received a veryfull and detailed account from BarryKing of a complex claim first referredto by John Hind at the last BuforaConference in Nottingham. Datingfrom October 1973, it alleges vehicleinterference, a robotic encounter, ab-duction and physical examination

aboard a landed craft, rape by one ofthe occupants and subsequent visits by'Men in Black.' \Thilst it includessome sensational aspects, the reportexamines the claims very closely and Ihad already decided to include the fullaccount in the I ""r":L::rrrr^hy;Z]

17

more sensational aspects would notappear out of proportion to the whole,when, to my complete surprise, a re-port arrived from a totally differentsource, which, whilst not parallellingthe first, did include elements such asparalysis, hypnosis, sexual contact and'Men in Black.' The extra-ordinarything waso that although occurring in1978, the location was the same-Taunton in Somerset. I thereforedecided to include both accounts andexpand the article into two parts.Part One, in this issue, takes the firstaccount up to the point of abductioninto the craft. Part Two, in the nextissue, will relate events inside the craftand also feature the second report.Clearly everyone will have their ownviews on the degree of reality of theencounters, which, like so many others,are not provable, but I feel they shouldbe published as they DO form part ofthe overall background to the UFOenigma. Vhilst witness details are onfile, in view of the type of experiencealleged, initials only will be used inboth cases.-.Ed.

Account One: TerrifyingOrdeal in Somerset(Condmsed from original report).

Phone callq....On 12 October 1977, I received aphone call from a woman with aforeign accent) speaking in brokenEnglish, who first wanted to know if Iwas interested in UFO research, andwhen I confirmed I was she went on torelate a sighting she had had someyears before, saying she had previouslyonly told a doctor and psychiatrist whohad put it down to hallucinations.She asked if it was possible to checkwhether other sightings had been re-ported in the area at the time: I told

18

her I would see what could be done andshe said she would ring back.

On 19 October t977 and over the nextfew weeks, she phoned several times,becoming more relaxed and givingfurther details. Her husband alsospoke to me and both sounded sincereand truthful. During these calls Itried to impress upon her that this typeof report must be fully investigated andpublished in a scientific journal. Both(I shall refer to them as Mr and Mrs V)seemed astonished that anyone wouldwant to write about or publish suchthings-they only gave me details toget it off their chest, so to speak. Acertain amount of persuasion wasnecessary before they would agree tothe episode being officially recorded,and at this stage, there was to be nopublication. Eventually I managedto get them to agree that I bring a col-league as well, pointing out that atleast two people should work on acomplex case of this type. Accord-ingly, Andy Collins accompanied meon the investigation.

Background dataThe 'V' family came to England in1963: they originated from Torino,Italy, both Mr and Mrs V being bornthere. Mrs V is an ordinary house-wife and 37 years of age (report com-piled in 1977). Mr V is aged 53, isself-employed and frequently aroundthe house. They have one child, adaughter aged 14. They seem an ord-inary family who keep much to them-selves. Both have had an ordinaryeducation and neither have any acad-emic or technical qualifications tospeak of. They both appear sincereand truthful, albeit nervous . . . . all inall they appeared a nice, honest family,certainly not the type to concoct (orbe capable of concocting) a story of thisproportion.

Events prior to the encounterOn the evening of Tuesday, 16 Oct-ober 1973, Mrs V was preparing tea inthe kitchen. Shortly after 6 prl, aloud knock at the door made her jump.Putting things down on the stove, sheanswered the door, found her friend'sdaughter on the doorstep and let her in.She had called on Mrp V as her motherwas very ill and had asked her to driveover and fetch Mrs V back to STelling-ton. Mrs V said that she would comeover as soon as the tea was ready,telling het: " Giae me around 20 minutesand I'll drhse oaer-OK ? " Thewom-an left, but even when she had finishedthe tea, Mrs V was delayed for a longtime by unexpected callers-in fact, itseemed almost as though the delayswere deliberate. Eventually, how-ever, everyone went, she hastened toher car and drove off, having first toldher husband the purpose of the visit.The time had reached 10.45 pm as shepulled away from the kerb and-livingon the A361 side of Taunron-shedecided to by-pass the town centre, gostraight to Milverton, then turn downa minor road (83187) to Wellingtonitself and it was along this road thather ordeal took place.

E-M EfrectsAfter turning offthe A361 at MilvertonMrs V drove along the small, windingroad to Wellington. There was littletraffic about, in fact the road wascompletely deserted once she had leftthe Langford Budville signpost behind.She was worried about her friend andthe long delay, but was determined toget to Wellington. Then, in thepitch blackness she glimpsed a verybright light over in the fields ahead andto her right.At first she paid little attention to italthough she was sure there were nobuildings about. Then her car-a

20

white BMC Mini saloon 'F' regis-tration-began to malfunction. Thefull beam headlights dimmed, flick-ered, then went out, came on again,finally dimmed considerably beforegoing out: at the same time the enginejolted and began to splutter and judderas though going uphill in too low agear. Finally, the engine faltered,stalled and cut out altogther: the carrolled forward, coasted to the side ofthe road and abruptly stopped. MrsV tried to restart the engine severaltimes without success, then she swit-ched off the ignition, put it in neutralgear and applied the handbrake.

As the car glided to a stop, she hadglanced over to the light, which forsome reason she had connected withthe malfunction. This was half-moonor hemispherical in shape, flat on thebottom, rounded at the top. It wasan almost brilliant white, bright as anarc welder's lamp: this brilliance wasconstant and did not flicker or pulsate.The light was definitely at groundlevel as Mrs V could see light beingthrown out and illuminating the grassaround: this was noticed when, aftersitting alone in the darkness for somemoments, she got out and lifted up thebonnet in the hope it was just a smallfault. When her head was under thebonnet, she became aware of a hum-ming sound, not unlike a generator,not too loud, but seeming to comefrom everywhere around-the wholearea was permeated by it.

The robotGlancing towards the light again, shebecame more panicky, put the bonnetdown and was about to open thedriver's door, when a very heavy handcame down on her shoulder, her leftshoulder, pushing her body down afew inches: she turned slowly round,panic-stricken, to face a tall, dark-coloured metallic robot !

hands, and on the palms was achain mail type thing as on suitsof armour. The robot had bigboots with thick soles and walkedwith a very stiff movement of thelegs, arms at the sides. She isnot sure if the body moved orswayed, but when it moved theknees bent slightly. The onlysound made was this knockingnoise. Its hands were abouttwice the size of Mrs V's andwhen it removed its hand from hershoulder, it did so very clumsily.

A few moments after the robot firstplaced its hand on her shoulder, shepassed out.

Outside the craftThe next thing she remembers isstanding in the field next to rhe robotin front of a large object-the roundedhalf-moon light-but now she foundthe light had subsided to a faint glowall around it and it was clearly someform of machine. No rivets or seamscould be seen, but it seemed to besilver-grey, not unlike aluminium, andwas supported by thick legs about 2 ft6 ins high by 2 ft across: she saw onlytwo but there may have been more.Comparing it to her car, she estimatedthe object's size to have been two carlengths high and about four across(20 ft x 40 ft). It had large, oblongwindows round the middle from whichemanated a yellow light. The hum-ming sound was coming from the ob-ject itself. At this point, Mrs Vblacked out a second time.

The craft's interiorShe next found she was-presumably

-inside the object, strapped to a tablein the centre of a circular room. Herclothes had been removed and she wascovered by a large, light-blue blanket.Her wrists were held against the table

continued ooerleaf2t

This robot reflected the light from thebright source behind it in the field,and from this and subsequent en-counters with it, Mrs V gave the fol-lowing description:

Tall, over 6 ft-perhaps 6 ft 6 ins.It seemed to be composed of someform of metal: it was shiny, thoughthe metal was dark-more of adark blue. Each time it movedit made a knocking sound. Onits head was a small, oblong boxdevice with a glass panel on thefront containing a small velvet-coloured light which flashed-noton and ofl but across the panellengthwise fairly rapidly, aboutone flash per second. The head

-or helmet-had no human fea-tures, just small vents or openingson the side: similar vents were tobe seen on the side of the body.It had glove-like coverings on the

by large 'rubber bands,' as were herspreadeagled legs, with the same bandsaround her ankles. The blue blanketwas cold and the interior of the craftwas icy cold.

The interior was uniformly lit and shecould see the robot over to one side ofthe room-which had a domed ceiling.The floor wis completely covered inblack coloured rubber matting insections about 3 ft square, covered in' pimples' like car rubber mats. Onthe walls were scattered pieces ofequipment, variously shaped. Somehad wire coils attached, whilst othershad odd bits of metal on them. Overto her right was a console, with manybuttons, dials and levers on it. Every-thing seemed to be grey, though theconsole controls were red, yellow, blueand green. Above her head were twotubes which looked like transparentplastic about one foot apart and thesewere pointed down towards her head,the upper parts being fixed to thecurved ceiling. The uniform lightingseemed to come from both wall and

ceiling. Other than the items des-cribed, the room was totally bare.

The table she was strapped to wasabout 4 ft wide by 6 ft long. Its uppersurface, on which she was lying, wascovered with soft rubber, black, butsmooth, not' pimpled ' like that on thefloor. The edges and sides were grey-coloured. The table's support wasout of sight from her position, butas far as she can remember, it wasabout 2 ft offthe floor. A tubular railwas fixed to the side of the table intwo positions by tubular joints and therail terminated in a flat end by herhead: the other end curved around andwent into the far end of the table nearher feet. This rail was smooth andshiny and about 3 ins in diameter.

Mrs V could not see directly behindher, but felt sure that a door of somekind was situated there. Then, as shewas lying on the table, three men cameintoview....
