Graham,too, became accustomed to aeeing strange lights in the sky, but for sheer Close Encounters drama his experience ofOctober 2, 1989 took the biscuit.

Mysterious In the late 80s many people reported seeing mysterious triangular objects over Stafford and Rugeley, but Graham began by keeping quiet over his experiences for fear of ridicule. He still had a business to run, But a year ago after he decided to speak "I don’t know what these things are or where they corne from.I know what I’ve seen exists beyond any doubt whutsoever, Ilnd my experiences have altered the way I look at life.

Answer In his aearch for an answer to the mystery that

began in 1979,Graham has pursued many avenues. Surprisingly, however, he has never submitted to hypnosis in a bid to find out preciaely

what happened on the road to Newby. "Several people have

made vague promises, but nothing has ever come of them. I’m always open to offers, though"." As we drained our pints and headed for the car park, I hadjust one more question for Graham. His surname,how was it spelt? "A.I-I-e-n," he said, adding with 11 smile,"no

LIGHTSHIP SPECIFICATION

9/t -

VIRGIN LIGHTSHIP A-60 The Virgin Lighlship is a revolutionary airship designed specifically for marketing and aerial observation purposes. Utilisation of the latest materials and manufacturing techniques have enabled the airship to offer a performance and durability that is not available anywhere else in the world. The unique construction method of the lightship allows for custom hulls to be made which can incorporate up to 32 different colours.

The most striking feature of the Virgin lightship is that the entire hull (including banner sites) can be internally illuminated, providing a most dramatic advertising platform for night-time use.

ANNEX A TQ WORKING PAPER NO 12/93 DATED AVe 93

TRANSCRIPT FROM CONVERSA nON RECEIVED AT RAF BRAMPTON ABOUT UFO SIGHTING OVER BENWICK.CAMBS ON 26 JUL 93 CALLER They saw 2 or 3 other small little tiny shps come off the top bit, down, you know landed. Came downwards off ofthis main ship towards, you know, somewhere over Ramsey or in the Fens. He M

watched it for an hour and his wife did.

SWITCHBOARD What did it actually look like, the main ship? M

CALLER Y ou’ll have to ask: him. I only briefly spoke with him. He woke me up this morning all of you know.

SWITCHBOARD The main ship landed?

CALLER The main ship hovered for an hour in the same position, okay, ITom 3.00 am to about 3.50 am yesterday, but to see the ship properly you had to have a pair of binoculars, okay. It just looked like a light in the sky at the start, okay. When you look through binoculars you can see all the little lights around the outside and windows all round the outside as well. And he said that 2 or 3 other little small M

ships came off the main one and down, downwards. He didn’t see where they went, he just said downwards. So you know, I wondered if you saw anything. I rang Wyton and they just cut me off. I thought you guys rllight want to know about this stuff.

SWITCHBOARD Yes, well it is interesting.

CALLER He is the sanest man you will ever know, honestly. You are not talking to cranks here. We are business people, sane people.

SWITCHBOARD So, the main ship hovered for an hour?

CALLER- An hour. SWITCHBOARD - And then 2 smaller ships?

CALLER Through the naked eye it just looked like a saucer shape of light in the sky but when you looked through binoculars at it you could see all the detail of the ship. He’s got a very powerful pair of binoculars. He Ii\{es in Ireland, you see, and he looks out to sea through his big binoculars. He looks through them and can see everything.

SWITCHBOARD Yes.

CALLER He watched it ITom 3.15 am to

4.45 am he said. A-I

SWITCHBOARD Yes, well thatls why he saw

CALLER ~ I would never have believed I donlt believe in UFOs but when your father, who you know doesn’t tell lies, doesn’t exaggerate in any way, tells you, then you thought itls got to be true.

SWITCHBOARD Right, yes. CALLER ~

Alright.

e (6) Conclusions From the descriptions of these sightings, it is fairly obvious that what was seen on these two nights was not a conventional aircraft or helicopter. No aircraft to my knowledge, and this includes the Harrier Jump Jet, can suddenly stop in mid air from this sort of speed. In addition, I don’t believe that an aircraft could perform the type of aerobatics described by the witnesses. Because of the sudden stopping of these ’crafts’ it is also reasonable to assume they were not Satellites. Fireballs, Bolides or any other known natural phenomenon. This being the case what were they? They can of course be simply classified as ’Unidentified Flying Objects’ as this they surely were, but into what category do we place them. Are they ’alien space ships’ piloted by ’alien beings’ or some advanced form of air/space craft developed here on earth? Maybe the answer lies somewhere between the two! During the last couple of years or so, there has been much speculation about the existence of captured ’Flying Saucers’. this obviously relates to the so called Roswell incident of 1948. If, and I only say if, the USAF is in possession of some alien space craft, then it is quite possible that they have been subjected to some very intensive back engineering and as a result are now being flown by them. It’s also possible, I suppose, that these craft could be piloted by their original crews but I think that’s best left well alone for the time being. The reason for this speculation is of course the stories emanating from America and the now infamous Area Sl scenario. I recently obtained a tape recording, made in the USA from a program called ’For the People’. On this tape some well intended and apparently well informed person, is heard disclosing recent events and some film footage taken of these events over Area 51 (Groomlake) which depicts brightly coloured

The Norfolk UFO Group (NUFOG)will look Into any reported slghtings of mysterious objects In the county, and Mr Thompson said he was delighted with the response so far. Several people claim they saw a strange filLShing object hovering over Lynn on the night of August 12 and it is

this incident which spurred Mr Thompson inlo forming his club. He hopes the first meeting will be later this month, in The

Drive, Gaywood. . Mr Thompson has been

investigating last monlh’s and said: "At the sightlng.s: moment I’m 70 per cenl sure that It was a UFO. A lot of people Saw It and there is

nothing else that can hover like

that." He added he had seen three UFOs, the firsl nine ago in Cambridgeshire, and was It member of the USA.based Mutual UFO Network

y..-ars

(MUFON). "I want our members to be able to look into any sightings, and interview people. The meetings will be alIeast Once a

month, and as well as any incidents I will be looking to educate the club members so they can investigate Ihese things properly. And irthey know whllt 10 look out for, the more chance they have of seeing a UFO." He said he was looking 10 recruit people such as aslronomers, radio buffs, pholographers and chemists to boost the group with their specialist knowledge, but an)’one with an interest in UFOs was welcome to join.

TWO Carrnarthen women were left terrified after their car was followed for thirty miles by a strange circle of light that they

claim was a UFO. Diane Jones and Lorraine Fox were travelling with their children from the Mumbles to Carmarthen in pitch darkness when they spotted a strange white light focusing on their vehicle that seemed to be "buzzing" them. "There was a circle of little lights fixed on the car and they seemed to be following said Lorraine of Glynderi. "I thought nothing of it but when it was still there after we joined the dual carriage way, it set me Not only did the lights seem W follow the car at high speed but the journey that would normally take at least 45 minutes - was cut down to a mere 25, almost as if the friends went through a Dyfed version of the Bermuda Trian-

the claim. The loss of the satellite is bound to throw new focus on Nasa’s troubles. It has been bedevilled by budget crises, . loss of direction and expcnslve accidents.

WE believe that the universe is filled with super.advanced

clear in Is Anyone Out There?, ’Our beliefs in this m Ucr ilre irrelevant. Mere theores will tell us nothing. The only reasonable course is to experiment to search the cosmos for radio signals from such civilisations and this is what the space agency NASA is now doing. They are spending the comparatively tiny annual sum of [6 million over the next 10 years on searching millions of radio frequencies coming from the stars hoping to find one that might be arti. How this vast experiment came into being is Drake’s life-story. It WilS largely his work.

I personally do not believe in alien civilisations at least not in our Milky Way gillaxy_

If they existed, their

expeditions would hilve arrived here long ago, or we would observe signs of their technology among the stilrs. The Sun is. afrer illI, only h;J!r the age of the galaxy. giving super-advanced aliens ilmple time in which to e\’oh’e. But we see nothing. The galaxy appears to be lifeless.

Intriguingly, both young Denise scon, of CJenchwarton, and pensioner Margarel Smith, of Pentney, report seeing mysterious lights in the sky within a few hours of a similar sighting earher this month by a group of Lynn fishermen. In Denise’s case, the dale was Wednesday, August 11, and the time was about 8.30pm. She said she watched a large, silent glowing disc with a bubble shape on top pass over her house in Chapel Lane. Her mother told the Lynn News.; "I didn’t believe her at firsL Then I read about the fishermen in the Lynn News and wilhoul showing it 10 Denise asked her to explain in detail what she had seen.

"numerous reports" of mystery sightings in Humberside which he had investigated. Since a local sighting in May in the county, Mr Lawson said he had received another 12 "genuine"reports . from witnesses who claim they have also seen a UFO. In one incident, a couple saw a UFO while spending an evening near Withernsea. Resulting sketches matched almost identically with similar sightings. Mr Lawson claimed one of the most horrifying trends to surface during the last 20 years was animal mutilation. In southern England, about 90 animals -usually cows or steers -had been discovered drained of blood with parts of their bodies missing. Laser.like cutting had removed eyes, internal organs and cheek bones on each carcass. He believed the mutilations are the result of surgery by aliens, since parts had been removed by techniques not seen on earth.

He called to his wife to get his binoculars. thinking there would be a perfectly simple explanation for the object. but upon closer Inspec. tlon he became even baffled. more . It was long and thin and periodically would shoot star.like lights out of the back. I was so amazed, I got the next door nelghbour to have a look and she said she had never seen anything like It before,’ He said the object was

extremely high in the

sky. and after he

He said, ’When I up the next morning I looked for It again but It was gone.’

A ROLVENDEN author

Clavane appears to adopt the extreme anarchist position that any form of state secrecy to amounts "conspiracy". Even he ought to realise state security applies all the time to military matters, and obviously the intrusion of an alien vehicle into British airspace would be regarded as a matter of military concern. This does not prove UFOs are visiting, but t does expose the silliness of Mr Clavane’s "conspiratorialist"jargon. I hope his sneering tone will not deter UFO witnesses from writing to the EADT about their experiences. UFO sightings are more frequent than is generally supposed, but people do not talk about them precisely because they expect to be ridiculed.

Sir, While I welcome and enjoy your Obsessions series, I must protest at the insulting treatment Anthony Ciavane meted out to Les Stacey (EADT July 16). The giggling repudiations and put-downs which occupy nearly 50 per cent of his article suggest a bizarre paranoia. Yes, Anthony, we get the message UFOs ahd UFO enthusiasts are rubbish but you could have told us that in your opening sentence!

Mr Sheffield put forward evidence that extraterrestrial civilisations exists in his bookA Ques!ion of Reason, which was published last year. This week the British Airways crewroom at

One of their pilot’s recently spotted a silver disc "travelling at an unbelil’vable rate" on his ghtpath,. . .
