00:02:13,360 really do hold a lot of weight that 54 00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:14,720 probably don't really get talked about 55 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:16,239 here in the uk and 56 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:18,000 this one the sort of bent waters 57 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:19,520 lakenheath was probably the first one 58 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,040 that you mentioned so 59 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:22,800 i had to have you on to talk about it 60 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,720 and then when we found out or i found 61 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:26,239 out that you'd done these interviews 62

just to introduce 74 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:52,640 this um this story or case 75 00:02:59,030 --> 00:02:55,599 um before rendelsham came along 76 00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:59,040 um this is a long time ago now um this 77 00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,800 case the what was known as the lake and 78 00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,800 heath bent waters case which happened in 79 00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:04,879 the same area of east anglia 80 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:07,360 um as the rendelsham forest incident it 81 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,760 was probably the best known or the most 82 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:11,040 evidential 83 00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,400 um ufo incident in the um in the british 84 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,640 sort of case list 85 00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,400 and um 86 00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:20,560 it happened in 1956 at the height of the 87 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,879 cold war um but the thing is it was it 88 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:24,640 was effectively covered by official 89 00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:26,159 secrets act 90 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,280 until the late 1960s so no one actually 91 00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:31,360 knew it wasn't in the public domain 92 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:34,480 until the end of the 1960s which is when 93 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,599 if so you'll know that the american 94 00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,319 project blue book that the us air force 95 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,480 um were running they they basically 96 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,879 closed shop and they gave a contract to 97 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,959 the university of colorado 98 00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,480 to write a report this became the 99 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,480 infamous condon report 100 00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:53,040 not condy condon 101 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:54,319 and 102 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:57,519 they examined something like 12 000 103 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,239 separate ufo incidents reported to the 104 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:01,760 u.s air force 105 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,239 and some of them were foreign 106 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,159 where for example um there were u.s air 107 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,599 bases in in europe and far east and the 108 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:12,000 interesting thing is out of those 12 000 109 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,000 cases um i think there was something 110 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,040 like 700 that were remained unexplained 111 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:19,440 and one of those was from britain and 112 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,199 that was the lake in heath ben waters 113 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,520 case and no one in this country in 114 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,040 ufology 115 00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,000 knew anything about this story until the 116 00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:30,960 americans published it in 1969 117 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,440 and unfortunately 118 00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:35,520 the if you believe what the british 119 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:37,199 government tell us 120 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,160 their files on it by that point the late 121 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,720 1960s had been destroyed 122 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:43,919 so 123 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:46,320 when this came out all the all the mod 124 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,840 was saying the usual sort of thing sorry 125 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,120 we can't tell you anything about it 126 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,880 because we've destroyed our file on the 127 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:51,919 kids 128 00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:53,919 so um 129 00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:56,000 as i say it was it's it is hugely 130 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,360 evidential there was a lot of 131 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,840 information in the american um files 132 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:02,320 because um it was the american air force 133 00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:05,440 bases that bent waters and lakenheath 134 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:07,919 in east anglia where um these objects 135 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:09,919 the ufos uaps whatever you want to call 136 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:12,960 them were picked up first on radar now 137 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:16,240 they alerted the royal air force because 138 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:18,479 their sort of guests in the uk at that 139 00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:19,840 time 140 00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,440 right at the height of the cold war it 141 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:24,160 was just as the suez crisis was was 142 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:26,880 brewing in the in the um 143 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:29,600 in the middle east um there was huge 144 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,639 tensions with the soviet union which is 145 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,080 there are some connections with what's 146 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:36,160 going on today i mean people thought at 147 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:38,320 that time we were literally on the verge 148 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,000 of the third world war 149 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,880 um there was there was raf um aircraft 150 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:44,639 that were poised on quick reaction 151 00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:47,199 alerts base bases all around the east 152 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,240 coast 153 00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:50,560 um they were in contact with radar 154 00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:52,720 stations anything that was approaching 155 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:54,880 the uk across the north sea 156 00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,960 um there was connect that was um seen on 157 00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,639 radar there would be an immediate 158 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,639 scramble an aircraft would be sent off 159 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,120 across the north sea to investigate and 160 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:04,960 the russians were probing our defenses 161 00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:08,000 probably two three times every week 162 00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:09,199 so 163 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:12,110 put ufos or uaps into that mix 164 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:13,199 [Music] 165 00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:14,800 and you've got a real you've got the 166 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:17,520 basis for an incredible story and on the 167 00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:20,160 top of that i mean when i looked into 168 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,120 the background to this raf lakenheath 169 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,360 which is still tenanted by the u.s air 170 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:27,120 force today was a base for nuclear 171 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,319 weapons 172 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,240 and again something that was covered up 173 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,560 for many many years just before this ufo 174 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:34,880 incident in june or july 175 00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:37,759 1956 there was a i think it was a b-56 176 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,560 bomber coming in to land at lakenheath 177 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:42,639 went out of control crashed into the 178 00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:45,520 nuclear weapons stall and very nearly 179 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,600 triggered off a massive nuclear incident 180 00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:49,440 in east anglia that would have 181 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,599 you know covered east anglia in in 182 00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:53,039 fallout 183 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,199 narrowly avoided the detonator didn't go 184 00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,599 off and again this didn't emerge until 185 00:07:02,710 --> 00:06:59,840 something like 1980 and as american 186 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,720 general mentioned it and it came out in 187 00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:04,000 parliament 188 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:06,319 at the same time as well just before the 189 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,160 ufo incident the the cia were flying the 190 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:12,240 what was then the brand new black 191 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,960 project u2 spy plane 192 00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:17,120 from lakenheath 193 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,120 uh and and they had a contingent of 194 00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,440 these u2 spy planes that were that were 195 00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,280 being sent over the soviet union with 196 00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:24,880 the consent 197 00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:27,039 of our prime minister at the time harold 198 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:30,400 mcmillan and the the um the u2s were 199 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:33,120 shipped into the uk in big wooden boxes 200 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:35,120 disguised as bananas 201 00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:38,000 big banana boxes and uh 202 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:39,360 apparently when some of the other 203 00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:40,960 politicians found out about it they had 204 00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:42,720 to get rid of them moved them off to 205 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,520 weisbarden in west germany but you can 206 00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:47,360 see if you were 207 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:49,919 an american officer or you were in the 208 00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:50,960 raf 209 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,879 and you were based in that area you knew 210 00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,879 all this stuff was going on 211 00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:56,479 you can imagine the tension there must 212 00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:57,440 have been 213 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,000 and then one night 214 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:02,800 august the night of august the 13th 14th 215 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:05,520 1956 this is a really hot 216 00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:08,960 steamy summer night clear skies 217 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:09,320 um 218 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:11,120 [Music] 219 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:13,120 calls start coming in to the raf from 220 00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,280 the various air bases around the east 221 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:17,680 coast raf bent waters 222 00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:20,639 um raf lakenheath all of them picking up 223 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:23,599 weird objects on their ground control 224 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,639 approach radars so this is where it gets 225 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:28,960 complicated because the american bases 226 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,039 had radar but these were just airfield 227 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:32,959 radars so they had a small radius they 228 00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,120 didn't sort of see very far 229 00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:37,599 um and they were seeing odd things on 230 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,839 the radar and people were going outside 231 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,279 and they were seeing lights in the sky 232 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,440 that was streaming across the sky moving 233 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,440 at incredible speeds something 234 00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,880 i think the the some of the things that 235 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,399 have been seen on radar were moving at 236 00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:50,399 some incredible speed 4 000 miles per 237 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:51,760 hour was one of the things that were 238 00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:53,040 registered 239 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:55,040 formations of objects as well that were 240 00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,959 sort of slowly moving and then others 241 00:09:02,630 --> 00:08:58,959 that were moving really fast 242 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:02,640 and they were phoning this into the raf 243 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,519 um that's the stage at which the raf 244 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,240 starts to to look on their radars now 245 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,399 the raf radar and you can see a picture 246 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:13,440 of something like what was being used 247 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:16,399 at the time this is a type um 85 248 00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:19,839 centimetric centimetric radar which is 249 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,560 um still on site if you go to raf niti 250 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,560 said which is a radar museum in the 251 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,480 norfolk broads they've still got the 252 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:28,640 radar from that era 253 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,880 you can go and look at it so this this 254 00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:32,480 is like one of the control cabins that 255 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:36,560 we're using and a um an raf um 256 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:39,600 uh officer called freddie wimbledon who 257 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,640 i i got to know really well i was in 258 00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,880 lengthy communication with him 259 00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:46,959 about 20 years ago when he was in his 260 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,320 late 80s early 90s he was the chief 261 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:52,959 controller uh raf neeti said so he 262 00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:55,600 started taking the calls from bentwaters 263 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,279 early in the evening 264 00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,920 and lakenheath quite later on around 265 00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,279 midnight 266 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,040 and he was quite skeptical as you can 267 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:05,519 imagine um and he would looked on his 268 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:07,920 radar picture and could not believe what 269 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:09,440 he could see because he could see 270 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:10,480 something 271 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:12,160 that had apparently come across the 272 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:15,600 north sea that was that was moving in 273 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:17,920 unlike any aircraft moving at fantastic 274 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,880 speeds this was at quite a high altitude 275 00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:22,720 because the only way i can describe it 276 00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,800 if you can imagine a radar doing this 277 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:26,560 from a source so you've got the ground 278 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:27,600 control 279 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,640 radars that are sort of spinning around 280 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,200 like that and maybe seeing something and 281 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:35,600 they're putting out pulses at a certain 282 00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:38,880 speed now the the the radar that freddie 283 00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:40,959 wimbledon had access to 284 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:43,519 really high powered ground control 285 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,399 interception radar so much more powerful 286 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,399 spanning out right across the north sea 287 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:50,880 so he could see this thing zooming in 288 00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:53,519 moving at incredible speed stopping 289 00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:56,640 stationary unlike any aircraft movement 290 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:58,079 and 291 00:11:02,069 --> 00:11:00,240 he thought is it the russians you know 292 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:02,079 if it is the russians it's too late to 293 00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:03,120 do anything about it because they're 294 00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:04,880 already here 295 00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:07,279 yeah over lakenheath nuclear-armed 296 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,399 airbase 297 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:11,120 uh where this where the u2 spy plane was 298 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,480 um so basically um perhaps we ought to 299 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:17,120 um play some of the tape of freddie i'm 300 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,959 talking about this it's about five or 301 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:21,120 six minutes i think this one's seven 302 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,720 minutes 303 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:24,160 yeah and for everyone that's watching 304 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,800 live if you could if the quality isn't 305 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,560 great so i've upped it i've upped the 306 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:30,320 gain and stuff when i was editing it but 307 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:31,519 if you could just let me know in the 308 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,800 chat if you can 309 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,040 hear it at least because i know it's not 310 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,839 going to be easy so um yeah let's let's 311 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,560 play it i should just say i i made these 312 00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:43,200 recordings 22 years ago before we had 313 00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:45,120 digital technology so they were made on 314 00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:46,800 c90 cassettes and they've been 315 00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,600 transferred to mp3 316 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:51,519 yeah let's go for it let's see if people 317 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,930 can hear it 318 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,399 [Music] 319 00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:58,480 uh on the night of the 320 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,760 13th 14th august 1956 321 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,360 six 322 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:05,760 i was the flight attendant on duty and 323 00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:08,720 chief interception controller 324 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:12,639 at a radar station in east anglia 325 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:15,440 my function was to watch the radar 326 00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:16,560 picture 327 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:19,040 as seen on our consoles 328 00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:20,720 and if any 329 00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:23,600 anything abnormal seen to take one 330 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,000 action was necessary 331 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,800 this involved 332 00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:31,200 scrambling fighter aircraft which were 333 00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:40,069 but um 334 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:43,920 not last i got i went on duty at 335 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:56,710 23 30. 336 00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:57,990 um 337 00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:00,079 we began to notice 338 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:01,760 um 339 00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:05,040 a return on uh palmar 340 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:06,959 which was 341 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,910 from something going very very fast 342 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,920 much faster than anything we've ever 343 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:19,519 seen before 344 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:21,519 and then suddenly stopping 345 00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:24,800 and i did the apparent slowing down 346 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:28,480 and then accelerating from that position 347 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:32,639 um that terrific speed straight away 348 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,949 but i conferred with the sector 349 00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:40,800 controller 350 00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:43,920 and uh said i thought we ought to 351 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:45,440 scramble 352 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,199 the battleflight 353 00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:49,440 see what it was 354 00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:52,800 so the bratified troops scramble 355 00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:55,040 that consists of two 356 00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:56,240 venom 357 00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:57,760 and then 358 00:14:03,269 --> 00:13:59,519 two 359 00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:03,279 uh a slight fighter version of the venom 360 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:06,639 that carried the pilot the navigator 361 00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,279 navigator sitting on the right hand side 362 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:11,600 but otherwise for a more or less side by 363 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:12,959 side 364 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:16,399 the navigator had his own radar 365 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,959 the function being that 366 00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:21,440 when he was directed 367 00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:24,560 from the ground 368 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:27,120 he would have one statement 369 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:29,600 he would search on his own radar 370 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:31,519 until he found 371 00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,240 the object from the directions given 372 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,160 from the ground 373 00:14:41,670 --> 00:14:38,160 and 374 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,470 he would watch the object if he had 375 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,720 picked it up by that time 376 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:48,560 and 377 00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:51,760 subsequently at a certain stage 378 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,519 he would take over 379 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:55,440 the interception 380 00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:56,480 if 381 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,639 ordered to 382 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,560 in this case 383 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:02,160 um 384 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:04,720 a contact was made 385 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,399 on an aircraft which appeared to be 386 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,560 well i didn't know it was an aircraft it 387 00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,800 was just it appeared to be a very bright 388 00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:14,240 light 389 00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:20,949 the 390 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,910 navigator thought he had it 391 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:25,600 on his screen 392 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:28,160 but it kept disappearing 393 00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:28,959 and 394 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:29,759 what 395 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,360 that one said appeared to be stationary 396 00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:35,040 in which case 397 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:36,399 um 398 00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:39,440 we on the ground 399 00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:40,959 thought 400 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,079 this object which we have followed 401 00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:46,320 the whole time 402 00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:52,629 was behaving rather erratically 403 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,440 so we had two choices there either this 404 00:16:03,910 --> 00:15:59,600 whatever it was 405 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:03,920 um had been able to loop and get behind 406 00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:08,880 by the target aircraft or target rather 407 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,839 or 408 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:11,680 the 409 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,480 it has undershot 410 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:16,320 the targets 411 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:19,440 which later appeared to be the correct 412 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:28,389 so i decided then to travel another 413 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:30,240 aircraft 414 00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:31,600 and 415 00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:33,600 that was scrambled 416 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:37,440 to join the chase in the meantime 417 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:39,199 the target 418 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,199 has shot up 419 00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:43,920 at a tremendous pace the northeast of 420 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:46,000 the direction 421 00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:48,880 but at such a rate that our 422 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:52,720 height it was off our height 423 00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,600 um 424 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:55,199 consoles 425 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,639 before he would say 426 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:58,320 jack robinson 427 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,670 oh 428 00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:06,480 i don't say shaken by this 429 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,760 but um 430 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:10,000 the experience was such 431 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:11,679 that we've never had something that 432 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:14,480 we've never encountered before 433 00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:18,520 and the sheer speed not only speed 434 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:20,480 maneuverability 435 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:24,400 of this object whatever it was 436 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:32,549 the next day we were visiting 437 00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:36,799 by a group captain from heidi command 438 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,679 who 439 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,799 wanted 440 00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:41,440 the story 441 00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:43,200 and 442 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:45,280 she told us 443 00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,720 under no circumstances where we 444 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:49,919 to 445 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,280 talk about it about self-care or anybody 446 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:55,520 else and never let 447 00:18:00,870 --> 00:17:58,400 the press or anything down 448 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:00,880 and um 449 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,080 it seemed very strange at the time 450 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,000 but he says 451 00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:09,039 don't worry you haven't seen something 452 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:12,000 these things are 453 00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:14,080 very described at 454 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,720 a bright light 455 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:18,480 they couldn't say anything else but a 456 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,669 i think you've got a measure of it there 457 00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:33,990 on the radar 458 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:36,310 just exactly the same as one another 459 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:39,280 would be right but probably behaving in 460 00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:42,000 a way but behind in a way that no 461 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,400 aircraft of that time or anything in 462 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,720 business 463 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:48,640 would be able to do 464 00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:51,520 i mean no air corruption would be doing 465 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:53,200 two or three thousand miles an hour and 466 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:59,190 yeah 467 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:00,400 i mean 468 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:04,640 late 80s when i interviewed him and that 469 00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:07,600 would have been about 2000 2001 and i 470 00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,480 should say the reason why um we knew 471 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:12,320 he'd come forward and he was willing to 472 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:14,000 talk about it was 473 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,919 in 1978 474 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:17,520 i think he was shortly after steven 475 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:21,760 spielberg's film had been released um 476 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,960 yeah a skeptic called ian ridpath who i 477 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,360 know quite well he wrote a piece 478 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:29,679 for i think it was the sunday times 479 00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:32,400 um based upon what had been in the con 480 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,919 condon report about the case and because 481 00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:37,919 it was only the american version it was 482 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,240 all completely wrong and mixed up and 483 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:42,240 this was in the sunday times and freddie 484 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,200 read it 485 00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,039 and he wrote into the sunday times and 486 00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:47,600 said what a load of nonsense that 487 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:49,679 i was there why has no one asked me 488 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,919 about this and that's how it came out 489 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,039 that he 490 00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:55,440 was involved in this so managed to track 491 00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,720 him down 492 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,320 and get him speaking he spoke to various 493 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,559 other ufologists as well 494 00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:02,640 but as you can see quite an incredible 495 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:05,200 story and the story that he told 496 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,720 it's pretty much um it's it's um it's 497 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:10,320 it's pretty much the same story that's 498 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:12,960 in the blue book records but there's a 499 00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,640 lot of inconsistencies which i don't 500 00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:16,159 think we need to sort of go into at the 501 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,039 moment it's it's sort of like sure um 502 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:21,200 it's it's about the timings because the 503 00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:24,080 american timings um seem to be earlier 504 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:25,600 in the evening and he's talking about 505 00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:27,200 something that happened after midnight 506 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,720 but yeah there's a lot there's a lot of 507 00:20:32,630 --> 00:20:30,480 things that could explain that because 508 00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:32,640 at the time we were subject to what was 509 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:34,880 known as british double british summer 510 00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,760 time so our time was two hours ahead of 511 00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:39,360 the american time 512 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,280 so there's lots of sort of distortions 513 00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:44,159 going on like that but he was obviously 514 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,320 he ordered the interceptors 515 00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:48,960 and and it wasn't until i think the late 516 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:51,200 1990s that we actually tracked down the 517 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:52,720 pilots and the navigators who were 518 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,320 flying the venoms the nf-4 nf-10 venoms 519 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,640 and they were like as fediadex explained 520 00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:00,320 in that clip they were like a 521 00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:02,720 double-seater um interceptor aircraft 522 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,880 that had forward-facing interception 523 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:06,080 radars 524 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,280 so he 525 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,120 scrambled them from the battle flight so 526 00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:11,280 that so there was a group of venoms that 527 00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:14,799 were on 24 24-hour call 528 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:17,280 at a base called raf water beach which 529 00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,600 is near cambridgeshire cambridge city 530 00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:21,679 cambridge and there was a whole group of 531 00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:23,120 people so this is where you get all 532 00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,600 these other names like graham schofield 533 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,760 uh john brady ivan logan they were all 534 00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,600 sat around in this you know you can 535 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:31,360 imagine the battle of britain 536 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:33,200 yeah similar sort of thing but cold war 537 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:35,200 they were waiting for the call they were 538 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:37,360 expecting the russians to come and they 539 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,640 thought the russians would be coming 540 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:41,120 over the over the um the north sea at 541 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:43,360 very high altitude you know the russian 542 00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:46,960 bears so when they got this call from um 543 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:50,240 from uh the raf niti said um they were 544 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:52,000 absolutely amazed because they were 545 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:53,280 being asked to go and intercept 546 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,520 something that was at four thousand feet 547 00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:57,039 above the east anglian countries 548 00:22:01,669 --> 00:21:59,760 countryside so if it was the russians 549 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,679 it's far too late to do anything about 550 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:03,600 it so perhaps we ought to now 551 00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,240 play the the description from john brady 552 00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:08,400 who was a navigator in the first venom 553 00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:10,320 he he was sent 554 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:13,120 by um freddie wimbledon to intercept 555 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:15,679 um this ufo that was on the raf nate's 556 00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:18,080 dead radio radar and he was told to 557 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:20,720 speak to the americans so this switch 558 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,880 frequency to raf lakenheath so that the 559 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,640 americans were using the 560 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:26,720 ground-controlled approach radar because 561 00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:28,960 the object was so near the ground they 562 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:30,400 couldn't see it on the interception 563 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,000 radar it had dropped 564 00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:34,480 below the horizon that that freddie 565 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:36,400 could see so they put patched them 566 00:22:40,070 --> 00:22:37,919 through to the americans and perhaps we 567 00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:40,080 ought to let john tell the story what 568 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,159 happened absolutely and i'll just 569 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,000 premise this by saying that these are 570 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,640 clips from 45 minute interviews the the 571 00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:48,640 freddie wimbledon that we heard and this 572 00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:50,640 one from john brady they are in the 573 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:51,919 description below if you want to hear 574 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:53,360 the extended interviews and i highly 575 00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:55,600 highly recommend it but let's go ahead 576 00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:03,590 here we go oops 577 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:05,280 i'm sorry i need to 578 00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:07,760 help if i shared my screen wouldn't it 579 00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:15,350 on the night in question i can remember 580 00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:18,240 some chat immediately prior to scramble 581 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:21,039 with elitist head and they then they 582 00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:22,720 called for a venom 583 00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:24,320 and um 584 00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:26,240 i think it probably went like water 585 00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:28,559 beach quarterback here one there 586 00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:31,360 scrambled vector sun so cool so and so 587 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,120 on 588 00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:34,880 whatever frequency it was 589 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:37,039 well we were airborne probably within 590 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:38,720 two minutes because the 591 00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:42,080 uh then it was a cartridge start 592 00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:44,240 um 593 00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:45,679 startup system 594 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:47,440 just press the cartridge and you put 595 00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:49,440 this terrific whoosh 596 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,279 from the cartridge gases as it drove the 597 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:53,039 turbine rattle to start the mechanism 598 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:54,000 around 599 00:23:56,789 --> 00:23:54,960 um 600 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:56,799 there's no one going up in a jet we just 601 00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:58,159 roared off 602 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,679 and we think 603 00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:01,360 it's this 604 00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:03,279 but we had a vague idea that the 605 00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:05,200 americans wanted us to go and look at 606 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:07,279 something well where did that idea come 607 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,640 from well it must have come from 608 00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:10,400 nietzsche said probably the chat saying 609 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:12,400 the americans want us to want you to go 610 00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,480 and look at something they've got i 611 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,240 can't remember 612 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,640 very clearly aren't they anyhow off we 613 00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:21,039 went and called late peace 614 00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:23,600 and they were directing us uh towards 615 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:26,559 this thing at around 7000 feet the first 616 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:30,320 run we had at it i saw nothing 617 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,279 the next time we went beyond 618 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,360 um i can remember saying today with 619 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:37,919 contact and he kept saying what is it i 620 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:41,039 can't see it as we rush by on each pass 621 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,960 and it would go down 622 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:45,279 the right hand side or left hand side 623 00:24:49,909 --> 00:24:47,840 preparing which way we went at it and 624 00:24:51,830 --> 00:24:49,919 there would be a little paint like that 625 00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:51,840 and it was fairly obvious that whatever 626 00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:54,240 it was was stationary 627 00:24:57,669 --> 00:24:55,679 there was no movement 628 00:24:58,870 --> 00:24:57,679 and if you remember in that little film 629 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:58,880 they said well 630 00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:01,039 you intercepted and i have to say you 631 00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:03,679 cannot intercept something that is 632 00:25:07,909 --> 00:25:06,799 stationary which you just can't do 633 00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:07,919 um 634 00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:10,240 but there was something there and when 635 00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:23,909 and it was just this little faint paint 636 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:26,000 you wouldn't call it a real positive 637 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:28,720 blip it's the sort of thing i've 638 00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:30,640 seen a met balloon with a radar 639 00:25:35,669 --> 00:25:32,480 reflector on it before 640 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:35,679 on air 21 and i reckon it was probably 641 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:36,720 that 642 00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:40,559 um 643 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:42,080 in the end we just turned around went 644 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,440 back home when 645 00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:44,880 we were getting a bit low and had 646 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:47,840 several runs at it but uh each time i 647 00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:50,400 would say to david that it's out 45 star 648 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:52,799 but now at one mile he'd be looking at 649 00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:53,840 me 650 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:57,440 what is it what is it i don't know 651 00:26:01,830 --> 00:25:59,440 there it was how many rooms did you have 652 00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:01,840 at the target three or four 653 00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:05,039 definitely at what altitude around 7000 654 00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:05,840 feet 655 00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:07,120 and around 656 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:10,000 300 knots 657 00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:12,080 seven thousand feet quite low really oh 658 00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:14,320 compared to a lot of the interceptions 659 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:17,039 yes but it cooks out intercept our fuel 660 00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:23,190 which uh government assaulted length of 661 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,240 course we ended in that 50 55 minutes 662 00:26:29,909 --> 00:26:28,640 so you were able to what about 55 663 00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:29,919 minutes 664 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:36,549 great stuff 665 00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:38,720 on the night in question i can remember 666 00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:47,190 so in that one he mentions he did at one 667 00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:49,600 point think it was this radar balloon 668 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:50,840 thing 669 00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,159 that was i did actually track down the 670 00:27:01,110 --> 00:26:58,960 the diary the squadron diary number 23 671 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:01,120 squadron which was their squadron and 672 00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:03,760 there's an entry about the um the case 673 00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:05,039 in there and it basically said that 674 00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:06,720 there was all these aircraft were sent 675 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:10,080 out looking for this mysterious object 676 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:11,120 um 677 00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:14,559 it was they couldn't work out what it 678 00:27:19,029 --> 00:27:16,240 was and eventually it was concluded it 679 00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:19,039 was a balloon that's all it says in the 680 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:20,480 squadron diary 681 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:22,000 but obviously 682 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:24,320 um there was something more than a 683 00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:27,039 balloon there um because 684 00:27:30,389 --> 00:27:28,559 what freddie saw 685 00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,399 clearly wasn't a balloon 686 00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:32,320 and it's i mean it's like with a lot of 687 00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:34,720 ufo incidents like rendlesham and some 688 00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,799 of the others it's not impossible that 689 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:38,480 there was a number of different things 690 00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:40,000 going on 691 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,440 you know that there wasn't just one 692 00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:42,960 thing there may well have been a balloon 693 00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:44,559 floating around around as well that 694 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:46,880 caused some confusion but clearly what 695 00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:49,120 what was being seen earlier in the night 696 00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:50,640 wasn't a balloon 697 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:52,880 and um 698 00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:53,679 um 699 00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:55,760 the the the interesting thing about it 700 00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,320 is if if there's any astronomers or 701 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:00,480 people interested in astronomy 702 00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:04,080 um who um are listening to this show 703 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:06,960 um the 13th or the 14th of august should 704 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:09,120 spark um something off in your brain and 705 00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:10,960 that is because that is the height of 706 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:13,840 the perseid meteor shower that that's 707 00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:15,520 the time when the perseids are the most 708 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:16,480 active 709 00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:18,480 so there's a lot if you read about the 710 00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:20,080 case there's a lot of stories about 711 00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:21,919 people going outside and seeing light 712 00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:23,919 streaking across the sky 713 00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:25,840 so it's quite possible they were the 714 00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:28,320 perseid meteors and 715 00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:30,799 what happens with these cases again like 716 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,559 rendelsham i think it's once people get 717 00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:34,240 it in their heads that there's something 718 00:28:37,269 --> 00:28:36,080 out there there's something flying 719 00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:37,279 around 720 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:39,039 uh they're sort of broken out of 721 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,960 whatever miasma they're in you know they 722 00:28:45,029 --> 00:28:42,640 might be reading the paper they might be 723 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:45,039 all you know like like sat in the crew 724 00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:47,120 room waiting for the call 725 00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:48,880 someone tells them there's a ufo they go 726 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:50,320 outside and maybe there's a balloon 727 00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:51,760 floating around or there's a meteor 728 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:54,000 streaking overhead that gets all roped 729 00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:55,840 into the story 730 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,159 and it's very easy then to sort of for 731 00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:00,080 skeptics and debunkers disorders like 732 00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:02,880 myself to say what a waste of time you 733 00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:04,880 know that's obviously what it was but 734 00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:06,320 the more you look into it the more you 735 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:08,240 look at the detail it's clearly 736 00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:09,919 something more than that and they 737 00:29:13,029 --> 00:29:10,960 obviously 738 00:29:14,549 --> 00:29:13,039 the american the air for american air 739 00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:14,559 force and the british air ministry 740 00:29:20,789 --> 00:29:17,360 obviously investigated it in great depth 741 00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:20,799 and i discovered um that the 742 00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:23,520 this is a really involved story the chap 743 00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:26,799 who was the head of 23 squadron at the 744 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,520 time um his book called um 745 00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:31,600 tony davis 746 00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:35,760 um he um was ex he he'd been a rush he'd 747 00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:38,880 been a british spy working for mi6 748 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:42,399 in budapest before he was he was he was 749 00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:44,640 captured by the russians exchanged sent 750 00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:46,240 back to the uk and they put him in 751 00:29:51,269 --> 00:29:47,279 charge 752 00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:51,279 of um 23 squadron um running the qra and 753 00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:53,279 i looked into his background and he'd 754 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,760 flown in the second world war he'd flown 755 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:57,679 intruder missions into germany and he'd 756 00:30:01,750 --> 00:30:00,240 actually seen a foo fighter during the 757 00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:01,760 second world voice in one of his 758 00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:03,279 logbooks 759 00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:05,520 and the bizarre thing was 760 00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:08,240 and this is still blows my brain when i 761 00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:09,919 fight when i when i 762 00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,279 think about this 763 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:13,200 in 1972 764 00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:15,840 he became the head of the ministry of 765 00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:18,159 defense's ufo desk 766 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:19,919 anthony davis 767 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:22,480 what year was that 768 00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:25,600 1972 when when he'd retired from sort of 769 00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:28,240 military service they brought him back 770 00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:29,840 obviously because he knew something 771 00:30:33,669 --> 00:30:31,440 about ufos 772 00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:33,679 and about he'd been they knew he'd been 773 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:35,760 involved in this waking heath case and 774 00:30:41,350 --> 00:30:38,159 they gave him the job as as head of the 775 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:41,360 ufo desk at whitehall is this the same 776 00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:43,760 level as owen hartwell and nick pope 777 00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:47,440 kind of no above that level so more di55 778 00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:50,480 type yeah yeah yeah yeah and and when 779 00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:52,399 you look at the files as i have done for 780 00:30:56,070 --> 00:30:54,159 that period when he was um running the 781 00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:56,080 desk there were people who had obviously 782 00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:58,000 read about the case 783 00:31:01,669 --> 00:31:00,240 uh in the condon report that had been 784 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:01,679 published by the americans who were 785 00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:04,399 writing into the ufo desk at the time 786 00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:06,320 saying what do you know about it and in 787 00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:07,840 one of the letters he writes back he 788 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:09,360 says well i know about it because i was 789 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:12,080 flying one of the aircraft 790 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:14,240 that's amazing he doesn't say any more 791 00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:16,080 he's so frustrated 792 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:17,519 and he 793 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:20,320 he died in 1988 so i was never able to 794 00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:22,640 um speak to him because it was before i 795 00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,000 started looking into this but he 796 00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:26,000 obviously knew an awful lot 797 00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:28,080 about it and graham schofield who is the 798 00:31:33,509 --> 00:31:30,960 next person we um 799 00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:33,519 we need to play he he knew tony davis 800 00:31:36,950 --> 00:31:35,519 and he he knew that tony davis had 801 00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:36,960 looked into the incident and 802 00:31:42,549 --> 00:31:39,679 investigated it and there was something 803 00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:42,559 uh definitely sort of unexplained about 804 00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:45,279 it it wasn't a balloon basically 805 00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:47,200 um and we should say that um graeme 806 00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:49,360 schofield was the navigator of another 807 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:50,640 venom 808 00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:53,760 and quite early in the evening before 809 00:31:58,470 --> 00:31:56,559 um logan went out in his venom he'd been 810 00:32:01,350 --> 00:31:58,480 scrambled i think about half past nine 811 00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:01,360 when the first ufos had been seen at 812 00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:03,360 bentwaters and he went up 813 00:32:08,070 --> 00:32:05,840 um in this um venom 814 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,080 from uh water beach and before they 815 00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:10,799 could get very far in the sky i think 816 00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:13,360 the wing fuel tank fell off 817 00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,360 and crashed into a field near cambridge 818 00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:17,200 again all covered up there was no sort 819 00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:17,840 of 820 00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,880 public 821 00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:20,480 story about this but this is what he 822 00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:22,640 said and they had to return to base so 823 00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:24,320 they couldn't actually get anywhere near 824 00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:26,720 this ufo that was being tracked at half 825 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:29,440 past nine so quite frank he was really 826 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:31,360 frustrated about this and he ended up 827 00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:33,679 back in the um in the guard room i think 828 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:35,679 he was with all the other pilots and 829 00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:38,080 navigators gathered round a little radio 830 00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:38,960 set 831 00:32:43,029 --> 00:32:41,440 and they were listening to the radio and 832 00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:43,039 listening to what was going on in the 833 00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:44,720 sky with all these other aircraft being 834 00:32:49,029 --> 00:32:46,720 scrambled one after the other 835 00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:49,039 by um my anita said to go and have a 836 00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:50,880 look so perhaps we ought to play what 837 00:32:53,909 --> 00:32:52,480 graeme scofield will say let's get that 838 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:53,919 one up i will just say i've got a few 839 00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:55,360 people who have asked questions and i've 840 00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:57,120 i've noted them so when we finish 841 00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:59,360 watching this and we'll talk about it i 842 00:33:03,029 --> 00:33:01,200 will get to your questions 843 00:33:04,070 --> 00:33:03,039 after that guys so 844 00:33:10,470 --> 00:33:04,080 let's 845 00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:12,230 but i mean i knew these guys very well 846 00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:14,240 so they they were okay you know they 847 00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:17,360 knew their jobs and the um 848 00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:19,200 the radar at that time was sufficiently 849 00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:20,720 good that if you got a blip you knew 850 00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:22,480 what it was you know identified you 851 00:33:25,029 --> 00:33:23,919 could see it you know it was a 852 00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:25,039 particular 853 00:33:28,789 --> 00:33:27,840 size so you you would not really be 854 00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:28,799 um 855 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:32,880 meteorological phenomena or something 856 00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:35,039 like that and anything that could catch 857 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:36,640 you might be a balloon or something yeah 858 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:39,919 that's which is always the possibility 859 00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:41,519 but um 860 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:43,600 but i believe these guys did get the 861 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:45,120 scramble did you get the intercept did 862 00:33:47,909 --> 00:33:46,960 say what they said and so on and so 863 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:47,919 forth 864 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:48,720 still 865 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:50,559 stick with that 866 00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:58,310 okay well the the venomwood it was a um 867 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:00,799 a twin seat uh aircraft where the pilot 868 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,159 navigator side by side and in the front 869 00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:06,960 of the seat virtually the whole area was 870 00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:09,839 made up of a radome which would have a 871 00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:12,399 radar uh 872 00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:15,760 unit probably about um three and a half 873 00:34:19,270 --> 00:34:17,520 three foot six 874 00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:19,280 wide the um 875 00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:20,800 the the 876 00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:21,919 um 877 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,560 diameter of the uh of the actual screen 878 00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:26,399 and this was uh adjusted so they could 879 00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:28,639 move in every every direction so get out 880 00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:30,639 go up go down go left go right 881 00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:31,520 and 882 00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:33,599 that was connected to the radar 883 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:35,679 equipment and the joystick which the 884 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,320 navigator would work to position the the 885 00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:40,879 radar in in place now in addition to 886 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:43,760 that obviously it had a um 887 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:45,599 a crt display very similar to a 888 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:48,480 television which would give you a um a 889 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:50,480 probe of light which would go across so 890 00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:53,440 the object of the exercise was to point 891 00:34:57,750 --> 00:34:55,440 your radar into the direction you 892 00:35:00,550 --> 00:34:57,760 thought the enemy aircraft would come 893 00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:00,560 and then by a series of calibrations you 894 00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:03,040 could measure its distance its track 895 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,560 yeah his positioning and things like 896 00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:06,480 that it would appear on the on the 897 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:10,079 screen as a very fine line 898 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:12,880 and uh from the line and the recipe you 899 00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:15,119 could determine you know broadly what 900 00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:16,640 its characteristics are it was being 901 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,470 um so we were not aware that we were 902 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:26,480 other than just scrambled for either a 903 00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:28,320 trial or something like that but we got 904 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:30,800 off the ground and immediately we would 905 00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:34,079 do a maximum rate uh climb away from 906 00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:36,480 base climbing turn and then onto your 907 00:35:38,950 --> 00:35:38,079 vector and go through 908 00:35:41,109 --> 00:35:38,960 um 909 00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:41,119 and this this climb would take you all 910 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,320 of 15 15 minutes something like that now 911 00:35:48,630 --> 00:35:46,880 we would be it was dark we were no 912 00:35:50,230 --> 00:35:48,640 navigation lights so it would be very 913 00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:50,240 very quiet very still you know we would 914 00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:52,400 just be getting out to height and 915 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,790 now 916 00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:02,550 i can't remember i don't think they did 917 00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:04,640 more than one pass each right i think 918 00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:07,359 they were then they were then called off 919 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:09,680 um did they sound 920 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:12,960 excited oh yes yes yeah yeah they were 921 00:36:17,270 --> 00:36:15,200 they were speaking very tensely because 922 00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:17,280 well partly because 923 00:36:22,150 --> 00:36:19,599 you're on a collision course 924 00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:22,160 you can't sing in front of you and what 925 00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:23,839 they hadn't figured was that the thing 926 00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:25,280 was stationary 927 00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:27,280 it would be most unusual to have an 928 00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:28,160 aircraft well it couldn't have an 929 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:29,760 aircraft it was stationary right and 930 00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:31,200 therefore there were two things that 931 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:33,520 that were distinct 932 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:36,640 one is the rate of of approach 933 00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:38,960 now the rate of approach normally is 934 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:41,520 exceedingly fast if you are on collision 935 00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:43,760 courses opposite direction so you want 936 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:46,480 to tell that reasonably clearly 937 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:50,240 you would normally 938 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:52,480 expect therefore the aircraft in in 939 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:54,960 front of you to be moving in you know 940 00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:57,119 various directions and you would try to 941 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:58,800 harmonize your speed with the speed of 942 00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:00,160 the aircraft yeah 943 00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:00,880 so 944 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:03,200 one of the things which uh 945 00:37:07,430 --> 00:37:05,119 is extremely difficult with the 946 00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:07,440 navigator and is trying to define what 947 00:37:11,990 --> 00:37:09,599 the speed is so you can get the 948 00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:12,000 the pilot to reduce be sufficient to to 949 00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:13,440 come in line because you don't want to 950 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:15,200 come in like a train you want to come in 951 00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:17,760 slowly and sit behind it identify it and 952 00:37:22,150 --> 00:37:19,440 then if necessary you should get down at 953 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:22,160 that point so the navigator's got a 954 00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:24,079 number of um 955 00:37:27,109 --> 00:37:25,200 uh 956 00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:27,119 methods of doing that one of which is to 957 00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:28,880 slap on your air brakes which is like 958 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:31,040 stopping you dead dead in the air right 959 00:37:33,030 --> 00:37:31,760 but 960 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:33,040 you've got to be very careful when you 961 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:35,040 do that because if you overshoot you 962 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:36,640 stop dating in front of the money we're 963 00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:38,160 trying to sketch 964 00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:40,880 that's not very clever but i didn't ever 965 00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:42,400 hear anything about air brakes i didn't 966 00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:43,839 hear anything about 967 00:37:53,829 --> 00:37:49,910 and frankly when you're looking to be 968 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:53,839 inspected onto um a russian bomber flag 969 00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:55,839 600 knots the last thing you're 970 00:38:01,030 --> 00:37:58,720 expecting is going to be stationary 971 00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:01,040 almost on the deck so i suspect there 972 00:38:06,470 --> 00:38:04,800 was a mental process involved here that 973 00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:06,480 so it would have been obvious to you 974 00:38:09,430 --> 00:38:08,240 listening though that this wasn't your 975 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,440 ordinary 976 00:38:14,390 --> 00:38:11,359 yeah it's interception exactly what's 977 00:38:16,230 --> 00:38:14,400 going on yes yes and i i seem to 978 00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:16,240 remember this is the bit when i may have 979 00:38:20,710 --> 00:38:18,480 made this up but i seem to remember 980 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,720 the pilot saying the second pilot saying 981 00:38:24,150 --> 00:38:22,320 he is right behind us 982 00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:24,160 right that's a crucial that's that's 983 00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:26,880 what i what i have in mind because 984 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:28,480 that's the thing that sent the shivers 985 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:29,599 up her back 986 00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:30,480 because 987 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:32,480 you know one thing it's one thing to be 988 00:38:36,630 --> 00:38:34,720 attacking somebody else but if they're 989 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:36,640 right behind you attacking you you 990 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:38,880 really begin to wonder in order to say 991 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:40,960 that because they didn't have any arrear 992 00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:42,320 that was looking behind they must have 993 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:43,599 just assumed that because they must have 994 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:49,990 so someone over listening to that on the 995 00:38:54,230 --> 00:38:52,880 radio on the ground would may have 996 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:54,240 jumped to the conclusion that perhaps it 997 00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:56,160 circled around the back rather than the 998 00:39:02,710 --> 00:38:58,560 overshot exactly yeah yes i mean it 999 00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:04,630 who knows there was something there 1000 00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:06,320 navigators told him he's just in front 1001 00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:08,640 of you and he's gone beyond it and then 1002 00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:10,240 he's saying right he's just behind me 1003 00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:11,040 though 1004 00:39:15,109 --> 00:39:13,200 so that's that's the bit that really 1005 00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:15,119 fixed our minds and then we started 1006 00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:16,720 saying what could this be what is this 1007 00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:20,079 likely to be uh is this a ufo is this or 1008 00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:21,760 something and it was in our crew that we 1009 00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:23,119 would be discussing so that would be the 1010 00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:25,680 first time that ufo yeah we never knew 1011 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:28,960 anyway yeah anywhere else yeah and uh 1012 00:39:33,589 --> 00:39:31,359 you know back went on until such time as 1013 00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:33,599 the crews returned which was quite soon 1014 00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:35,119 after these incidents they didn't hang 1015 00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:36,960 about they were infected straight back 1016 00:39:41,430 --> 00:39:39,760 to base they landed they came out came 1017 00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:41,440 into the crew room 1018 00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:43,440 tremendous amount of banter and jives 1019 00:39:47,589 --> 00:39:45,280 you know what's happened to you seen any 1020 00:39:50,870 --> 00:39:47,599 little green men and all the usual you 1021 00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:50,880 know jokes but the serious content was 1022 00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:52,880 something that actually happened and all 1023 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:55,680 of us were thoughtful about um 1024 00:39:59,030 --> 00:39:58,079 quite what it was all about 1025 00:40:01,670 --> 00:39:59,040 but 1026 00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:01,680 to be quite frank it didn't register to 1027 00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:03,520 the extent that we all thought we were 1028 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,400 part of a major incident we had not at 1029 00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:08,000 that time been aware that the americans 1030 00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:10,720 had been involved uh to us it was 1031 00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:11,920 something that happened on a particular 1032 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:13,520 line tomorrow was another day when we're 1033 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,880 gonna get on without you 1034 00:40:19,829 --> 00:40:17,040 do the various things so 1035 00:40:22,230 --> 00:40:19,839 that's really why our input is somewhat 1036 00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:22,240 limited in terms of the the overall 1037 00:40:29,430 --> 00:40:27,430 yeah i mean that that really brings it 1038 00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:29,440 home in what he said at the end there 1039 00:40:33,109 --> 00:40:31,520 graham about how the fact that they were 1040 00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:33,119 all operating in their own little 1041 00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:34,160 bubbles 1042 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:35,839 and because of it being everything was 1043 00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:37,599 covered by the official secret act no 1044 00:40:42,550 --> 00:40:39,680 one was supposed to talk to anyone else 1045 00:40:43,589 --> 00:40:42,560 so the americans knew their part of the 1046 00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:43,599 story 1047 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:46,640 um the the the radar people knew part of 1048 00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:48,240 that that their part of the story and 1049 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,880 then the pilots knew their bits of the 1050 00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:52,560 story and because 1051 00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:55,200 over the years um some of them have died 1052 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:56,880 um a lot of the records the written 1053 00:41:01,430 --> 00:40:59,599 records have been destroyed or dispersed 1054 00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:01,440 it's been like putting a jigsaw puzzle 1055 00:41:06,069 --> 00:41:03,599 together and i i spent literally it must 1056 00:41:10,390 --> 00:41:06,079 have been like 15 years working on this 1057 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:10,400 story from about 1995 to about uh 2010 1058 00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:12,160 tracking people down and they were 1059 00:41:15,510 --> 00:41:13,680 literally in the last few years of their 1060 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:15,520 lives some of them but i do think it's 1061 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:17,760 an incredible story and and just just to 1062 00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:18,720 read 1063 00:41:23,910 --> 00:41:20,800 gordon thayer who wrote this up for the 1064 00:41:26,790 --> 00:41:23,920 colorado um university the the the 1065 00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,800 condone study he was a radar expert and 1066 00:41:30,150 --> 00:41:28,720 he concluded 1067 00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:30,160 the line in the study says the 1068 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:32,960 apparently rational intelligent behavior 1069 00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:36,000 of the ufo suggests a mechanical device 1070 00:41:41,109 --> 00:41:38,000 of unknown origin as the most probable 1071 00:41:43,589 --> 00:41:41,119 explanation for this sighting now 1072 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:43,599 when people think of the condom study 1073 00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:44,960 they tend to think this is a complete 1074 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:47,200 debunking exercise and you know we don't 1075 00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:48,880 even need to think about it but he does 1076 00:41:55,030 --> 00:41:52,319 actually say that and that is the one uk 1077 00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:55,040 incident that's that that's in that 1078 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:56,560 american study 1079 00:41:59,829 --> 00:41:57,920 and 1080 00:42:02,630 --> 00:41:59,839 clearly something must have gone on 1081 00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:02,640 because i i've got to say i haven't i in 1082 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:03,920 all the work that i've done in the 1083 00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:05,920 british archives 1084 00:42:11,109 --> 00:42:08,240 they have literally gone through and 1085 00:42:14,069 --> 00:42:11,119 removed and destroyed every single trace 1086 00:42:15,589 --> 00:42:14,079 um of this incident there is one single 1087 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:15,599 mention of it in a 1088 00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:18,160 in a briefing from 1957 and this was 1089 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:19,760 simply because one of the defense 1090 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:21,359 ministers had asked 1091 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,319 the ufo desk at that time um to spell 1092 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:26,880 out the incidents from 1956 and they 1093 00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:28,400 make a mention of there was this 1094 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:30,720 incident at lakenheath where an object 1095 00:42:34,870 --> 00:42:32,640 was seen on radar at a high altitude 1096 00:42:37,750 --> 00:42:34,880 they sent an aircraft to investigate but 1097 00:42:39,750 --> 00:42:37,760 nothing was seen by the aircraft which i 1098 00:42:41,829 --> 00:42:39,760 suppose is true 1099 00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:41,839 but it's the actual bare bones of what 1100 00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:44,560 happened 1101 00:42:47,829 --> 00:42:46,160 absolutely now one thing i wanted to 1102 00:42:49,910 --> 00:42:47,839 show people is just to get an idea we 1103 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:49,920 keep hearing about these different bases 1104 00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:52,000 lake and heath bend waters and that if i 1105 00:42:57,030 --> 00:42:54,000 bring up a map and we can kind of get an 1106 00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:57,040 idea of the kind of area of of the uk 1107 00:43:01,990 --> 00:42:59,440 it's a bit blurry but i'm sure we can we 1108 00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:02,000 can do it yeah that's pretty clear so 1109 00:43:06,470 --> 00:43:03,680 you can see here if you can see my 1110 00:43:07,990 --> 00:43:06,480 cursor you've got lake and heath here 1111 00:43:09,910 --> 00:43:08,000 and then up to the right we've got 1112 00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,920 anita's head near the coast 1113 00:43:13,109 --> 00:43:11,440 and then down in the right corner we've 1114 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:13,119 got bent waters so this is the kind of 1115 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:14,960 the east anglia area really isn't it of 1116 00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:17,520 the uk yeah so ben waters and ipswich is 1117 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:19,520 where people will be familiar with the 1118 00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:20,720 rendlesham 1119 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:22,800 bentwater's woodbridge down in the 1120 00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:25,520 southwest corner of east anglia so niti 1121 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:28,000 said where freddie wimbledon was 1122 00:43:32,550 --> 00:43:30,079 um is right up on the coast on the 1123 00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:32,560 flattest part of the coast which is why 1124 00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:34,880 the radar station's there and there's a 1125 00:43:37,510 --> 00:43:36,880 there's an actual radar museum there now 1126 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:37,520 if 1127 00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:39,440 you go there it's actually 1128 00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:41,680 you can actually go in the radar room as 1129 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:43,839 it was in the 1950s so you can sort of 1130 00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:46,240 imagine yourself um as freddie wimbledon 1131 00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:48,800 would have seen it at the time 1132 00:43:52,870 --> 00:43:50,480 yeah that's pretty interesting but it 1133 00:43:54,550 --> 00:43:52,880 just gives a good impression as to 1134 00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:54,560 peace in the like you said the puzzles 1135 00:43:59,030 --> 00:43:57,280 you know and the bases and stuff ah mr 1136 00:44:00,870 --> 00:43:59,040 graham rendell's in the chat lake and 1137 00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,880 heath and mildenhall are pretty close to 1138 00:44:04,790 --> 00:44:02,720 each other yeah ben waters and wood 1139 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:04,800 bridges circus overlap 1140 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:08,319 irc i'm not sure what that means 1141 00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:10,079 i'm sure they'll explain 1142 00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:12,800 yeah good to see you graeme anyway um 1143 00:44:16,230 --> 00:44:14,480 let's just say that one thing i thought 1144 00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:16,240 might be good to go and i'm not gonna 1145 00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:18,560 spend much time on it is just to look at 1146 00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:19,520 the 1147 00:44:24,069 --> 00:44:21,599 blue book files on it 1148 00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:24,079 just to show people that it was taken 1149 00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:25,200 you know 1150 00:44:31,270 --> 00:44:28,400 kind of seriously so this is a 1151 00:44:33,430 --> 00:44:31,280 you know these are i'll scroll through 1152 00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:33,440 these are all 1153 00:44:39,589 --> 00:44:36,480 documents drawings of the radar yep 1154 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:39,599 showing the path of the object and 1155 00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:41,680 a lot of this is dr j allen heinrich as 1156 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:42,480 well 1157 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:43,359 yeah 1158 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,720 you know he was asked to give an opinion 1159 00:44:49,270 --> 00:44:47,440 on it i think even fred whipple was was 1160 00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:49,280 one of the famous astronomers at the 1161 00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:51,280 time was asked to give an opinion but 1162 00:44:55,670 --> 00:44:53,200 this was all what you're seeing there 1163 00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:55,680 was all top secret no one had access to 1164 00:44:59,190 --> 00:44:57,040 it outside 1165 00:45:01,030 --> 00:44:59,200 the us air force 1166 00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:01,040 and these are a lot of these are or most 1167 00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:03,359 of them are air force documents as well 1168 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,560 yeah so there you go 1169 00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:08,319 talking about meteors and space 1170 00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:10,640 anomalies and all sorts of things but 1171 00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:11,920 yeah like you said these were all 1172 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:13,520 classified files that have obviously 1173 00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:16,480 since become unclassified but yeah 1174 00:45:20,069 --> 00:45:18,480 it just adds weight to the story there 1175 00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:20,079 we have another image of the radar 1176 00:45:23,430 --> 00:45:21,680 tracks and things 1177 00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:23,440 i mean it doesn't make a lot of sense 1178 00:45:29,349 --> 00:45:26,480 really to me um but it just adds to this 1179 00:45:30,309 --> 00:45:29,359 weight of information and that so i 1180 00:45:31,910 --> 00:45:30,319 thought that would just be worth 1181 00:45:33,670 --> 00:45:31,920 checking out um i haven't linked that 1182 00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:33,680 anywhere yet but what i'll do is along 1183 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:34,720 with the 1184 00:45:38,870 --> 00:45:37,359 full interviews i'll link the blue book 1185 00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:38,880 documents i'll give a shout out to sean 1186 00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:40,960 rash witness citizen for sending me 1187 00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:42,480 those when he knew that i was going to 1188 00:45:44,829 --> 00:45:43,200 be 1189 00:45:47,910 --> 00:45:44,839 covering this case 1190 00:45:49,510 --> 00:45:47,920 um ah what about the artist impressions 1191 00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:49,520 should we show that now as well do you 1192 00:45:54,390 --> 00:45:51,520 want to talk about this good um yeah 1193 00:45:57,510 --> 00:45:54,400 hilary evans um he was very big in 1194 00:45:59,109 --> 00:45:57,520 ufology in the 1980s and 90s he 1195 00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:59,119 he ran a picture library in london 1196 00:46:02,150 --> 00:46:00,640 called the mary evans picture library 1197 00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:02,160 which some people may have heard of and 1198 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:04,240 he did a wonderful children's book 1199 00:46:08,870 --> 00:46:07,200 on ufos um in the 1990s which had these 1200 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:08,880 wonderful artists impressions and there 1201 00:46:11,829 --> 00:46:09,760 was a 1202 00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:11,839 a chapter on lake and heath bend waters 1203 00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:13,680 where he got this you can see there 1204 00:46:17,109 --> 00:46:15,440 there's sort of like a 1205 00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:17,119 almost like a palance where he's got 1206 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:19,119 lots of bits from the story so he's got 1207 00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:22,240 the um he's got the radar people peering 1208 00:46:26,470 --> 00:46:24,240 at the screen he's got the blurry light 1209 00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:26,480 in the sky i think you can see a 1210 00:46:30,870 --> 00:46:28,880 venom up there somewhere yeah above the 1211 00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:30,880 light yeah yeah and he's got the airmen 1212 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:32,720 sort of pointing at the sky and the 1213 00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:34,800 hangers i just thought that really sums 1214 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,720 up the case really well 1215 00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:38,560 yeah absolutely 1216 00:46:42,309 --> 00:46:40,560 but the key but the main the main thing 1217 00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:42,319 about the case that makes it stand out i 1218 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:44,000 think is the action bit 1219 00:46:47,829 --> 00:46:46,000 that brady and scofield were talking 1220 00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:47,839 about you know the bit where 1221 00:46:51,190 --> 00:46:49,760 that bit where the tension was rising 1222 00:46:53,990 --> 00:46:51,200 and you can just imagine if you were in 1223 00:46:55,990 --> 00:46:54,000 one of those venoms there's no light you 1224 00:46:57,430 --> 00:46:56,000 you you've got your pilot who's sort of 1225 00:47:00,069 --> 00:46:57,440 bombing along 1226 00:47:02,550 --> 00:47:00,079 um in fact the pilot um 1227 00:47:04,870 --> 00:47:02,560 david brady who was the pilot when um 1228 00:47:06,790 --> 00:47:04,880 brady was um david chambers was the 1229 00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:06,800 pilot and he was called david hell for 1230 00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:09,440 leather chambers that was his nickname 1231 00:47:13,589 --> 00:47:11,200 so he was like bombing along and you can 1232 00:47:15,109 --> 00:47:13,599 imagine brady sat next to him peering at 1233 00:47:15,910 --> 00:47:15,119 this radar screen 1234 00:47:24,870 --> 00:47:15,920 and 1235 00:47:26,230 --> 00:47:24,880 from the ground it's behind you it's 1236 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:26,240 behind you and you can imagine that 1237 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:28,079 scofield and the others down on the 1238 00:47:31,990 --> 00:47:30,240 ground listening to this and hearing 1239 00:47:34,390 --> 00:47:32,000 this rising tension 1240 00:47:36,069 --> 00:47:34,400 that's the bit of the story i think that 1241 00:47:37,829 --> 00:47:36,079 really makes it interesting so it's 1242 00:47:40,309 --> 00:47:37,839 almost like they're involved in this 1243 00:47:43,589 --> 00:47:40,319 really long chase with this thing 1244 00:47:45,270 --> 00:47:43,599 whatever it was i mean yeah 1245 00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:45,280 i mean they're saying as well they were 1246 00:47:49,030 --> 00:47:47,200 saying that you know at that time at 1247 00:47:51,829 --> 00:47:49,040 night in those aircraft your vision your 1248 00:47:53,829 --> 00:47:51,839 vision's limited to what 20 foot so your 1249 00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:53,839 bait you are basing 1250 00:47:56,710 --> 00:47:55,200 your 1251 00:47:58,470 --> 00:47:56,720 it's the radar it's the the 1252 00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:58,480 communications and things like that that 1253 00:48:01,990 --> 00:47:59,839 you're relying on 1254 00:48:04,549 --> 00:48:02,000 to navigate around and intercept it's 1255 00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:04,559 not visual unless there's a light which 1256 00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:06,559 you know some of them have said but 1257 00:48:10,710 --> 00:48:08,240 it must be 1258 00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:10,720 you know i'd be [\h__\h] myself it must 1259 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:11,920 have been terrifying i think we were 1260 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:13,760 putting a bit of bravado on there to be 1261 00:48:16,630 --> 00:48:14,640 honest 1262 00:48:18,230 --> 00:48:16,640 um and don't forget this is battle of 1263 00:48:19,990 --> 00:48:18,240 britain technology we're talking about 1264 00:48:22,549 --> 00:48:20,000 it's not much further advance than what 1265 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:22,559 we were using during the 1940s this is 1266 00:48:27,349 --> 00:48:25,200 way before we add digital technology 1267 00:48:29,109 --> 00:48:27,359 which is what they use nowadays 1268 00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:29,119 and and the interesting thing about it 1269 00:48:33,589 --> 00:48:31,359 is the radars they were using then were 1270 00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:33,599 better for picking up ufos than what 1271 00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:36,559 we've got now because the the the radars 1272 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:38,160 that they use for civil uh civil 1273 00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:41,280 aviation now they're computerized and i 1274 00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:43,440 mean i've been around manchester airport 1275 00:48:47,589 --> 00:48:45,119 i've been around some of the big airport 1276 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:47,599 um terminals and actually had people 1277 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:49,680 show me how to use the radar and i've 1278 00:48:53,349 --> 00:48:51,680 said to him do you ever see ufos and 1279 00:48:55,270 --> 00:48:53,359 they said well yeah we see odd things 1280 00:48:57,430 --> 00:48:55,280 all the time but all we do is we just 1281 00:48:59,270 --> 00:48:57,440 change the computer program so that 1282 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:59,280 we get rid of them 1283 00:49:02,630 --> 00:49:01,040 it's like what 1284 00:49:04,950 --> 00:49:02,640 and it's it's like well we're not 1285 00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:04,960 interested in things that aren't 1286 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:06,160 aircraft 1287 00:49:10,309 --> 00:49:07,920 you know so yeah there's birds there's 1288 00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:10,319 insects there's unusual meteorological 1289 00:49:13,990 --> 00:49:12,480 things but as long as they don't collide 1290 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:14,000 with aircraft we don't want to see them 1291 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:15,359 so we basically 1292 00:49:17,349 --> 00:49:16,400 we we 1293 00:49:19,990 --> 00:49:17,359 um 1294 00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:20,000 you know we we get the computers so it 1295 00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:22,640 it doesn't see them so unless something 1296 00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:24,400 is the size of an aircraft and it's 1297 00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:26,880 behaving like an aircraft it won't show 1298 00:49:31,829 --> 00:49:29,680 up on radar but that's why we get more 1299 00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:31,839 of these stories from the 1950s because 1300 00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:33,680 that was before they were computerized 1301 00:49:37,270 --> 00:49:35,200 so they were actually seeing things 1302 00:49:39,670 --> 00:49:37,280 which might have been ufos 1303 00:49:41,109 --> 00:49:39,680 and scrambling aircraft to look at them 1304 00:49:43,109 --> 00:49:41,119 and i think what really stood out for me 1305 00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:43,119 when going through everything you sent 1306 00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:45,280 me and reading about it was this big 1307 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:47,760 ground control radar that we see behind 1308 00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:50,400 us right now but also those venom radar 1309 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:52,240 sounded pretty good as well so if you've 1310 00:49:56,710 --> 00:49:55,280 got corroborating data coming from both 1311 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:56,720 you know 1312 00:50:03,750 --> 00:50:01,040 they're both messing up or exactly so 1313 00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:03,760 here you've got at least five different 1314 00:50:07,589 --> 00:50:05,680 radars all seeing the same thing so 1315 00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:07,599 you've got the ground con the ground 1316 00:50:11,750 --> 00:50:10,000 controlled approach radar which is the 1317 00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:11,760 american one at lakenheath they were 1318 00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:13,520 seeing it from the ground all different 1319 00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:15,520 frequencies don't forget these radars 1320 00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:17,119 sure you've you've got the ground 1321 00:50:22,390 --> 00:50:19,760 control interception or gci radar which 1322 00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:22,400 is the type 80 or type 85 1323 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,480 the one you can see behind you again a 1324 00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:26,640 different frequency seeing the same 1325 00:50:30,870 --> 00:50:28,800 thing on radar at the same time you then 1326 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:30,880 send up the um the aircraft they've got 1327 00:50:35,109 --> 00:50:32,720 their airborne interception radar 1328 00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:35,119 operating on a different frequency if 1329 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:36,880 you've got three radars seeing the same 1330 00:50:40,870 --> 00:50:38,720 thing at the same time there's something 1331 00:50:42,309 --> 00:50:40,880 there there's no doubt about it and 1332 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:42,319 you've got i think freddie mentioned 1333 00:50:46,790 --> 00:50:44,480 there's the hype finder radar which is a 1334 00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:46,800 separate radar because he said at the 1335 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:48,720 end it just zoomed off on the hype 1336 00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:50,400 finder yeah and they could incredible 1337 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,559 speed get any readings from it yeah 1338 00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:54,480 that's incredible 1339 00:50:58,630 --> 00:50:56,319 this was going on for hours it started 1340 00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:58,640 at so about half past nine 1341 00:51:02,309 --> 00:51:00,800 and it they didn't fade from the radar 1342 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:02,319 screens until half past three in the 1343 00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:04,400 morning so there were ways after a wave 1344 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:06,720 of aircraft going up i mean they sent 1345 00:51:10,150 --> 00:51:08,480 some american aircraft up as well some 1346 00:51:11,750 --> 00:51:10,160 t33s 1347 00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:11,760 i managed to track the pilot down from 1348 00:51:14,950 --> 00:51:13,680 one of those and he remembered it as 1349 00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,960 well 1350 00:51:17,270 --> 00:51:16,000 wow 1351 00:51:19,030 --> 00:51:17,280 i think one thing that stood out for me 1352 00:51:21,510 --> 00:51:19,040 was when this the radars were tracking 1353 00:51:23,589 --> 00:51:21,520 them coming in you know 30 miles 20 1354 00:51:25,589 --> 00:51:23,599 miles 10 miles and you know they're 1355 00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:25,599 getting the speed of this thing so two 1356 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:27,359 three four thousand 1357 00:51:32,069 --> 00:51:29,920 miles an hour in 1956 of course they're 1358 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:32,079 going to be 1359 00:51:35,510 --> 00:51:33,839 very confused and 1360 00:51:37,510 --> 00:51:35,520 the tensions are going to rise you know 1361 00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:37,520 at that point within the cold war it's 1362 00:51:40,390 --> 00:51:38,480 going to be 1363 00:51:43,030 --> 00:51:40,400 what the hell's going on so all these 1364 00:51:46,309 --> 00:51:43,040 things adding up is just a 1365 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:46,319 fascinating fascinating ufo case so it's 1366 00:51:51,589 --> 00:51:49,280 just such a shame that it didn't manage 1367 00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:51,599 to make it into the media like some of 1368 00:51:55,589 --> 00:51:53,040 the other stories you know like the top 1369 00:51:57,270 --> 00:51:55,599 cliff one from 1952 and some of the 1370 00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:57,280 others from that period because like 1371 00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:00,240 people spoke out and spoke to the media 1372 00:52:03,270 --> 00:52:01,920 um and then there were questions in 1373 00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:03,280 parliament 1374 00:52:06,470 --> 00:52:04,480 it basically 1375 00:52:08,470 --> 00:52:06,480 created a bit of controversy and so some 1376 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:08,480 of the papers survived whereas with this 1377 00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:09,839 one because they were able to keep it 1378 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:11,440 secret for so long 1379 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:12,960 they've managed to 1380 00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:15,359 hide whatever there was about it and 1381 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:17,680 destroy it effectively 1382 00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:20,160 why i don't know well yeah i was going 1383 00:52:23,670 --> 00:52:22,079 to say here's you know we know that the 1384 00:52:25,829 --> 00:52:23,680 mod 1385 00:52:27,589 --> 00:52:25,839 a sly and they have been many times in 1386 00:52:30,790 --> 00:52:27,599 the past do you think it was a simple 1387 00:52:32,390 --> 00:52:30,800 case if they just destroyed them for 1388 00:52:34,309 --> 00:52:32,400 purposes of hiding the case and a 1389 00:52:37,190 --> 00:52:34,319 cover-up or do you think they said they 1390 00:52:38,790 --> 00:52:37,200 destroyed them and kept some somewhere i 1391 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:38,800 mean this is obviously pure speculation 1392 00:52:42,150 --> 00:52:40,640 on your heart but if anybody knows the 1393 00:52:43,829 --> 00:52:42,160 way the mod and the archives and 1394 00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:43,839 everything work is you 1395 00:52:48,470 --> 00:52:46,240 i think they've got a big secret i think 1396 00:52:50,230 --> 00:52:48,480 they kept them for a while because i 1397 00:52:51,270 --> 00:52:50,240 think they weren't able to explain it 1398 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:51,280 but i think what you've got to 1399 00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:52,800 understand here is there's a massive 1400 00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:54,400 turnover of staff 1401 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:57,440 at the mod and you get people who are 1402 00:53:02,150 --> 00:53:00,240 sympathetic towards this subject like 1403 00:53:03,829 --> 00:53:02,160 the unique popes of the world 1404 00:53:06,710 --> 00:53:03,839 and you get people who are just utter 1405 00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:06,720 skeptics and um i think what happened 1406 00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:09,599 was and i suspect sometime in the 1970s 1407 00:53:13,910 --> 00:53:12,160 maybe or even as late as the 1980s 1408 00:53:15,910 --> 00:53:13,920 someone came across all this stuff and 1409 00:53:17,109 --> 00:53:15,920 just said why are we keeping this 1410 00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:17,119 and just 1411 00:53:20,950 --> 00:53:18,880 all they've got to do is just say i 1412 00:53:22,309 --> 00:53:20,960 think this is nonsense and it happened 1413 00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:22,319 so long ago 1414 00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:25,599 uh we don't need to worry about it so 1415 00:53:28,870 --> 00:53:27,119 signed all they need to do is sign a bit 1416 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:28,880 of paper destruction certificate and it 1417 00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:30,480 goes in the incinerator and i think 1418 00:53:36,150 --> 00:53:33,920 that's what's happened unfortunately 1419 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,160 that's crazy uh let's get to some 1420 00:53:40,390 --> 00:53:38,240 questions and and and statements uh 1421 00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:40,400 we'll start with this one here condine 1422 00:53:43,430 --> 00:53:42,640 suggests an interest a question mark 1423 00:53:45,829 --> 00:53:43,440 well 1424 00:53:47,829 --> 00:53:45,839 for me personally condyne 1425 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,839 you know he mentioned a lot of cases 1426 00:53:52,150 --> 00:53:49,440 that weren't explained but it certainly 1427 00:53:53,109 --> 00:53:52,160 didn't take it any further 1428 00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:53,119 no 1429 00:53:57,910 --> 00:53:56,000 i mean that um haddo ron haddo wrote the 1430 00:53:59,270 --> 00:53:57,920 condone report he must know something 1431 00:54:01,589 --> 00:53:59,280 about this case 1432 00:54:05,030 --> 00:54:01,599 uh because he was based in that area he 1433 00:54:07,430 --> 00:54:05,040 sort of trained in east anglia on radar 1434 00:54:10,230 --> 00:54:07,440 um i'm sure he would know about it and 1435 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:10,240 he mentions another incident in 1996 1436 00:54:14,790 --> 00:54:12,800 when something was seen r r e f 1437 00:54:16,309 --> 00:54:14,800 neatly said radar again 1438 00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:16,319 in the condone report it's one of the 1439 00:54:19,750 --> 00:54:17,200 few 1440 00:54:20,950 --> 00:54:19,760 specific incidents that he that he 1441 00:54:23,829 --> 00:54:20,960 refers to 1442 00:54:26,870 --> 00:54:23,839 um so there's obviously something about 1443 00:54:28,630 --> 00:54:26,880 east anglia that attracts these things 1444 00:54:30,150 --> 00:54:28,640 this is whatever they are 1445 00:54:32,069 --> 00:54:30,160 i'm gonna i'm gonna bring up someone we 1446 00:54:34,069 --> 00:54:32,079 talked about before we came on live 1447 00:54:36,789 --> 00:54:34,079 which was the 1448 00:54:37,910 --> 00:54:36,799 the beach the lighthouse beach near 1449 00:54:40,549 --> 00:54:37,920 orford 1450 00:54:42,630 --> 00:54:40,559 yeah and we always hear about nuclear 1451 00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:42,640 things attracting uap and 1452 00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:44,000 if if you could just tell us a bit about 1453 00:54:47,349 --> 00:54:45,520 that again because that 1454 00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:47,359 all sorts going on there from the early 1455 00:54:52,710 --> 00:54:50,000 1900s yeah alfred ness is like a big 1456 00:54:56,470 --> 00:54:52,720 long strip of shingle beach and it's 1457 00:54:59,430 --> 00:54:56,480 just off the coast not far from um 1458 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,440 bentwaters and raf woodbridge and right 1459 00:55:03,990 --> 00:55:01,440 from the first world war they used it to 1460 00:55:05,910 --> 00:55:04,000 to test all kinds of nasty stuff 1461 00:55:08,710 --> 00:55:05,920 mustard gas i believe in the first world 1462 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:08,720 war and then in the cold war um they 1463 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:10,559 were using well before before the second 1464 00:55:14,950 --> 00:55:12,720 world war before we had radar they were 1465 00:55:15,829 --> 00:55:14,960 using the making the first radar tests 1466 00:55:17,910 --> 00:55:15,839 there 1467 00:55:19,510 --> 00:55:17,920 and before we discovered radar they were 1468 00:55:22,309 --> 00:55:19,520 looking for a death ray something that 1469 00:55:24,069 --> 00:55:22,319 they could use to actually you know burn 1470 00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:24,079 enemy pilots out of the sky you know 1471 00:55:27,990 --> 00:55:26,480 like something from h.g wells 1472 00:55:29,829 --> 00:55:28,000 whilst they were mucking about with that 1473 00:55:31,670 --> 00:55:29,839 that they realized that if you send 1474 00:55:33,990 --> 00:55:31,680 pulses of energy out 1475 00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:34,000 and it hits things and bounces back you 1476 00:55:37,829 --> 00:55:35,760 can actually see things before they 1477 00:55:39,750 --> 00:55:37,839 reach the shore so that's how they 1478 00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:39,760 discovered radar effectively when they 1479 00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:42,079 were looking for a death ray 1480 00:55:47,430 --> 00:55:44,960 um um and then the they they built these 1481 00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:47,440 huge concrete pagodas where whether you 1482 00:55:51,190 --> 00:55:49,040 whether we're testing nuclear bombs 1483 00:55:53,190 --> 00:55:51,200 basically underground all of this going 1484 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:53,200 on on offeredness and then the last 1485 00:55:58,630 --> 00:55:55,920 thing there in the 1960s or 70s the 1486 00:56:02,390 --> 00:55:58,640 americans spent billions on this on this 1487 00:56:04,870 --> 00:56:02,400 top secret base called cobra mist 1488 00:56:06,870 --> 00:56:04,880 which has got a very evocative name and 1489 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:06,880 effectively it was a top secret over the 1490 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:09,440 horizon radar station 1491 00:56:14,950 --> 00:56:12,160 that was built to detect um soviet um 1492 00:56:16,870 --> 00:56:14,960 into intercontinental ballistic missiles 1493 00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:16,880 a great distance almost like you know to 1494 00:56:21,510 --> 00:56:19,119 take over from filing deals yeah and 1495 00:56:23,510 --> 00:56:21,520 they spent billions on it and it was the 1496 00:56:26,150 --> 00:56:23,520 whole island was sort of off limits no 1497 00:56:27,990 --> 00:56:26,160 one could go there but but the thing is 1498 00:56:30,630 --> 00:56:28,000 it never worked because there was some 1499 00:56:32,309 --> 00:56:30,640 kind of weird sort of noise that they 1500 00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:32,319 couldn't get rid of that was sort of 1501 00:56:36,069 --> 00:56:34,720 interfering with the radar and they 1502 00:56:38,470 --> 00:56:36,079 didn't know whether it was the russians 1503 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:38,480 jamming it or what um so they shut this 1504 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,960 whole thing down about 1972 1505 00:56:44,710 --> 00:56:42,799 and it never it never went into 1506 00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:44,720 operation but that whole area and its 1507 00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:47,280 proximity to rentals from forest has led 1508 00:56:50,789 --> 00:56:49,280 people like john burroughs the the one 1509 00:56:52,150 --> 00:56:50,799 of the key witnesses 1510 00:56:54,309 --> 00:56:52,160 from the rendelsham incident he's 1511 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:54,319 absolutely convinced that he's that what 1512 00:56:58,230 --> 00:56:55,520 he saw 1513 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:58,240 um at raf woodbridge um on that famous 1514 00:57:01,750 --> 00:57:00,960 night was some kind of experiment this 1515 00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:01,760 this 1516 00:57:05,670 --> 00:57:03,599 some kind of experiment involving the 1517 00:57:07,349 --> 00:57:05,680 british and the americans and some kind 1518 00:57:09,510 --> 00:57:07,359 of death ray that was being tested that 1519 00:57:12,150 --> 00:57:09,520 he was exposed to which is why 1520 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:12,160 um you know he's had all this ill health 1521 00:57:16,630 --> 00:57:14,640 and he blames it on on that not on not 1522 00:57:18,470 --> 00:57:16,640 on sort of aliens or extraterrestrials 1523 00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:18,480 but on some kind of experiment that went 1524 00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:19,520 wrong 1525 00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:21,440 maybe he's onto something there i don't 1526 00:57:31,190 --> 00:57:22,319 know 1527 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:31,200 1980 was related to us nukes being held 1528 00:57:36,150 --> 00:57:34,000 at ben waters were there us nukes there 1529 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:36,160 as far back as 56 1530 00:57:40,150 --> 00:57:37,920 the answer is yes well they certainly 1531 00:57:42,390 --> 00:57:40,160 would look at lakenheath i mean 1532 00:57:45,589 --> 00:57:42,400 lakenheath is some distance from 1533 00:57:48,230 --> 00:57:45,599 bentwaters but they had um some serious 1534 00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:48,240 um nuclear ordnance in fact on a level 1535 00:57:52,630 --> 00:57:50,640 of like what they'd used at nagasaki 1536 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:52,640 uh in the second world war stored at 1537 00:57:57,589 --> 00:57:54,559 lakenheath and this is why when this 1538 00:58:00,549 --> 00:57:57,599 b-52 crashed there and just before the 1539 00:58:02,549 --> 00:58:00,559 ufo incident you know it it didn't come 1540 00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:02,559 out until the 1980s thank god but you 1541 00:58:07,270 --> 00:58:04,960 know we were very close to um having 1542 00:58:10,870 --> 00:58:07,280 most of the east of england leveled 1543 00:58:12,150 --> 00:58:10,880 that that night in july 1956. 1544 00:58:15,030 --> 00:58:12,160 there we go 1545 00:58:16,950 --> 00:58:15,040 uh andre asks if this is 1956 some of 1546 00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:16,960 these are going back earlier on when i 1547 00:58:20,069 --> 00:58:18,160 saved them 1548 00:58:22,630 --> 00:58:20,079 why is the uk still silent on this 1549 00:58:24,069 --> 00:58:22,640 subject 1550 00:58:26,230 --> 00:58:24,079 well i think the answer to that is 1551 00:58:28,069 --> 00:58:26,240 simply they're embarrassed by it and i 1552 00:58:29,829 --> 00:58:28,079 think it sort of contradicts their 1553 00:58:31,910 --> 00:58:29,839 standard line that these things don't 1554 00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:31,920 exist that they're not interested in 1555 00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:33,280 them and they've never studied them 1556 00:58:36,710 --> 00:58:35,200 which is clearly a lie 1557 00:58:38,470 --> 00:58:36,720 yeah and they don't pose any kind of 1558 00:58:39,750 --> 00:58:38,480 threat to national security the same as 1559 00:58:41,349 --> 00:58:39,760 what we hear 1560 00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:41,359 yeah although 1561 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:43,200 like i said i've had to reluctantly sort 1562 00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:45,599 of accept that i don't actually think 1563 00:58:50,230 --> 00:58:48,160 they deliberately 1564 00:58:52,150 --> 00:58:50,240 had a policy to destroy this stuff i 1565 00:58:53,910 --> 00:58:52,160 just think if you if you work in the 1566 00:58:56,789 --> 00:58:53,920 civil service particularly the mod 1567 00:58:58,950 --> 00:58:56,799 there's such a huge turnover of people 1568 00:59:01,910 --> 00:58:58,960 and there's different policies coming in 1569 00:59:02,870 --> 00:59:01,920 and different sort of regimes 1570 00:59:07,430 --> 00:59:02,880 and 1571 00:59:09,349 --> 00:59:07,440 things were stored on paper in filing 1572 00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:09,359 cabinets remember that 1573 00:59:12,630 --> 00:59:10,400 oh yeah 1574 00:59:13,910 --> 00:59:12,640 and 1575 00:59:15,829 --> 00:59:13,920 people don't 1576 00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:15,839 store things in filing cabinets anymore 1577 00:59:20,150 --> 00:59:18,000 so so effectively during the 1980s and 1578 00:59:21,829 --> 00:59:20,160 1990s they literally went through all 1579 00:59:24,069 --> 00:59:21,839 the past records of the ministry of 1580 00:59:25,510 --> 00:59:24,079 defense when they were moving offices 1581 00:59:27,990 --> 00:59:25,520 and things and they basically must have 1582 00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:28,000 come across mountains of stuff on these 1583 00:59:32,390 --> 00:59:30,160 ufo incidents and just said 1584 00:59:33,670 --> 00:59:32,400 this happened 30 years ago what do we 1585 00:59:36,630 --> 00:59:33,680 need to keep it 1586 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:36,640 if we do keep it then people like us in 1587 00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:38,160 the future might start asking awkward 1588 00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:39,760 questions and asking to see what you've 1589 00:59:43,349 --> 00:59:41,280 got on fire 1590 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:43,359 what what have we got to lose by just 1591 00:59:47,190 --> 00:59:45,359 destroying the law and then we can say 1592 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:47,200 oh well sorry we don't keep records 1593 00:59:51,190 --> 00:59:49,040 after such and such a day 1594 00:59:54,069 --> 00:59:51,200 and that's the policy they've adopted 1595 00:59:56,309 --> 00:59:54,079 yeah it is true yeah absolutely 1596 00:59:57,990 --> 00:59:56,319 um but that kind of leads me into a 1597 00:59:59,670 --> 00:59:58,000 question is something we spoke about 1598 01:00:01,589 --> 00:59:59,680 very briefly i think one of the last 1599 01:00:03,750 --> 01:00:01,599 times you joined me is i think i asked 1600 01:00:04,549 --> 01:00:03,760 you the question is 1601 01:00:06,470 --> 01:00:04,559 if 1602 01:00:09,670 --> 01:00:06,480 you believe they may still will have a 1603 01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:09,680 kind of secret di-55 equivalent office 1604 01:00:13,589 --> 01:00:11,920 happening now 1605 01:00:16,309 --> 01:00:13,599 and yeah i think you said you kind of 1606 01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:16,319 think they might do can you expand on do 1607 01:00:18,870 --> 01:00:18,079 you think you know where that might sit 1608 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:18,880 or 1609 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:20,400 anything like that 1610 01:00:26,390 --> 01:00:24,000 yes well the i-55 who were basically the 1611 01:00:29,109 --> 01:00:26,400 intelligence branch who investigated 1612 01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:29,119 ufos from about 1960s because when the 1613 01:00:33,990 --> 01:00:32,160 air ministry became part of the mod 1614 01:00:35,510 --> 01:00:34,000 um the old sort of structure that 1615 01:00:37,670 --> 01:00:35,520 existed at the time of the lake in the 1616 01:00:41,030 --> 01:00:37,680 heath sighting which was basically the 1617 01:00:43,030 --> 01:00:41,040 old raf stroke air ministry intelligence 1618 01:00:45,270 --> 01:00:43,040 who looked into these things 1619 01:00:48,549 --> 01:00:45,280 they passed their responsibility on to 1620 01:00:50,950 --> 01:00:48,559 di55 i think about 1967 1621 01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:50,960 and di55 um 1622 01:00:56,230 --> 01:00:53,839 retained that interest and they retained 1623 01:00:57,910 --> 01:00:56,240 access to the files up to about 2000 1624 01:00:58,710 --> 01:00:57,920 which was when ron had her completed 1625 01:01:04,309 --> 01:00:58,720 that 1626 01:01:07,109 --> 01:01:04,319 drew a line under their 1627 01:01:09,109 --> 01:01:07,119 supposed interest in the subject now 1628 01:01:10,549 --> 01:01:09,119 it's a bit like um 1629 01:01:12,710 --> 01:01:10,559 you know that there was that fine source 1630 01:01:14,069 --> 01:01:12,720 of working party study in 1950 that 1631 01:01:17,030 --> 01:01:14,079 basically said we don't need to worry 1632 01:01:19,829 --> 01:01:17,040 about this forget about it yeah um and 1633 01:01:22,150 --> 01:01:19,839 then winston churchill in 1952 after the 1634 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:22,160 top cliff sighting said you know what's 1635 01:01:27,190 --> 01:01:24,400 going on and they had to then reinstate 1636 01:01:29,589 --> 01:01:27,200 the the ufo desk and i think 1637 01:01:31,510 --> 01:01:29,599 something like that will be 1638 01:01:33,430 --> 01:01:31,520 in existence it just they won't use the 1639 01:01:36,309 --> 01:01:33,440 word ufo they might not even use the 1640 01:01:39,109 --> 01:01:36,319 word uap sorry 1641 01:01:40,789 --> 01:01:39,119 yeah i bet they don't i think 1642 01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:40,799 they'll have invented something else to 1643 01:01:45,750 --> 01:01:43,040 describe it as and they'll probably 1644 01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:45,760 because ron hadou was a contractor he 1645 01:01:50,549 --> 01:01:48,240 was he was effectively a private defense 1646 01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:50,559 contractor who they brought in 1647 01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:52,400 paid him to do the study so that they 1648 01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:53,760 could then say 1649 01:01:57,029 --> 01:01:55,200 when they were asking parliament we're 1650 01:01:58,470 --> 01:01:57,039 not actually doing it ourselves which is 1651 01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:58,480 not a lie because they were paying a 1652 01:02:02,789 --> 01:02:01,200 private contractor to do it and that 1653 01:02:04,549 --> 01:02:02,799 means that if some if you ask for 1654 01:02:05,990 --> 01:02:04,559 information the freedom of information 1655 01:02:08,230 --> 01:02:06,000 they can say no we haven't got any 1656 01:02:10,870 --> 01:02:08,240 information which is true because it's 1657 01:02:12,789 --> 01:02:10,880 public information that's subject to 1658 01:02:14,549 --> 01:02:12,799 freedom of information so if if you 1659 01:02:17,029 --> 01:02:14,559 employ a private contractor it's a bit 1660 01:02:18,630 --> 01:02:17,039 like what happens with the nhs 1661 01:02:21,430 --> 01:02:18,640 um you can ask for information from the 1662 01:02:23,349 --> 01:02:21,440 nhs but anybody that the nhs employees 1663 01:02:27,349 --> 01:02:23,359 privately is outside freedom of 1664 01:02:29,510 --> 01:02:27,359 information so i my i suspect whoever's 1665 01:02:31,270 --> 01:02:29,520 taken over from di55 will be private 1666 01:02:33,190 --> 01:02:31,280 defense contractors they'll be based 1667 01:02:34,789 --> 01:02:33,200 somewhere like farnborough 1668 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:34,799 there's a base in bristol where i 1669 01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:36,880 suspect this is going on 1670 01:02:41,910 --> 01:02:40,400 um or near bristol and i think that they 1671 01:02:44,150 --> 01:02:41,920 will be um 1672 01:02:46,829 --> 01:02:44,160 keeping a very low profile they'll be 1673 01:02:50,150 --> 01:02:46,839 just interviewing um people such as 1674 01:02:52,150 --> 01:02:50,160 pilots radar personnel people who've 1675 01:02:53,510 --> 01:02:52,160 seen things who are military basically 1676 01:02:55,430 --> 01:02:53,520 they're not interested in civilian 1677 01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:55,440 sightings anymore 1678 01:03:00,549 --> 01:02:57,200 and that does kind of fit in with what's 1679 01:03:01,750 --> 01:03:00,559 happening in the u.s a lot as well 1680 01:03:04,230 --> 01:03:01,760 here we go 1681 01:03:06,390 --> 01:03:04,240 how relevant if any do you see the 1956 1682 01:03:08,069 --> 01:03:06,400 incident with the 1980s or in the 1683 01:03:09,190 --> 01:03:08,079 comparison of like how did you weigh 1684 01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:09,200 them up 1685 01:03:14,309 --> 01:03:12,000 um well i think if we have actually had 1686 01:03:16,309 --> 01:03:14,319 some of the some of the materials 1687 01:03:18,230 --> 01:03:16,319 um because back then when they did the 1688 01:03:20,789 --> 01:03:18,240 radar trackings they actually had like 1689 01:03:22,549 --> 01:03:20,799 tracing paper on the radar screens and 1690 01:03:24,309 --> 01:03:22,559 they used to mark it with pencils so you 1691 01:03:25,270 --> 01:03:24,319 could actually see where the object 1692 01:03:27,670 --> 01:03:25,280 moved 1693 01:03:29,670 --> 01:03:27,680 and i know that freddy kept a really 1694 01:03:32,230 --> 01:03:29,680 detailed record he had like a big thick 1695 01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:32,240 log book where he he would have entered 1696 01:03:35,589 --> 01:03:33,760 every single thing that happened during 1697 01:03:38,230 --> 01:03:35,599 the night what time he scrambled what 1698 01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:38,240 altitude the aircraft was and he had all 1699 01:03:41,270 --> 01:03:39,680 that and he said that when this group 1700 01:03:44,230 --> 01:03:41,280 capped him from fight to command came 1701 01:03:45,029 --> 01:03:44,240 they took it they removed the book 1702 01:03:48,789 --> 01:03:45,039 so 1703 01:03:51,190 --> 01:03:48,799 if we had access to it 1704 01:03:52,710 --> 01:03:51,200 it would be far more evidential than the 1705 01:03:54,390 --> 01:03:52,720 rendel shrimp incident because you could 1706 01:03:56,630 --> 01:03:54,400 add it all together you could give it um 1707 01:03:58,309 --> 01:03:56,640 somebody with you know who could put it 1708 01:04:00,390 --> 01:03:58,319 all together with what the pilot said 1709 01:04:02,390 --> 01:04:00,400 and it would be highly evidential and 1710 01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:02,400 obviously someone did that 1711 01:04:06,390 --> 01:04:04,720 um at the air ministry at the time 1712 01:04:09,349 --> 01:04:06,400 and reach whatever conclusions they 1713 01:04:10,789 --> 01:04:09,359 reached so i i i've always thought it's 1714 01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:10,799 far more 1715 01:04:15,829 --> 01:04:12,960 important and evidential than rendering 1716 01:04:17,829 --> 01:04:15,839 because the radar aspect of it is it's 1717 01:04:20,069 --> 01:04:17,839 got the primacy whereas 1718 01:04:22,150 --> 01:04:20,079 the radar aspect for rendelsham i always 1719 01:04:26,549 --> 01:04:22,160 thought was pretty weak actually 1720 01:04:28,390 --> 01:04:26,559 right no fair enough um 1721 01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:28,400 uh graham asks what's the likelihood of 1722 01:04:32,230 --> 01:04:30,480 secret files from the 50s and 60s 1723 01:04:34,309 --> 01:04:32,240 actually surviving somewhere would 1724 01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:34,319 duplicates be kept by other agencies 1725 01:04:39,910 --> 01:04:36,880 such as di55 i guess you kind of covered 1726 01:04:41,990 --> 01:04:39,920 this but anything to add well the some 1727 01:04:43,990 --> 01:04:42,000 of the files from the 1950s have 1728 01:04:46,230 --> 01:04:44,000 survived i've got copied copies of them 1729 01:04:47,910 --> 01:04:46,240 there are some quite interesting ones 1730 01:04:49,589 --> 01:04:47,920 um there was some um there was some 1731 01:04:52,390 --> 01:04:49,599 parliamentary questions that were asked 1732 01:04:55,190 --> 01:04:52,400 i think about 1957 about a similar 1733 01:04:57,029 --> 01:04:55,200 incident where javelins were scrambled 1734 01:04:59,670 --> 01:04:57,039 and this did get into the news and there 1735 01:05:01,510 --> 01:04:59,680 was another sighting at west frau raf 1736 01:05:04,870 --> 01:05:01,520 west florida in scotland 1737 01:05:05,990 --> 01:05:04,880 in april 1957 where three different 1738 01:05:09,430 --> 01:05:06,000 radar 1739 01:05:11,990 --> 01:05:09,440 set um stations on a an raf bombing 1740 01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:12,000 range switched on at a certain time on a 1741 01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:13,520 morning i think it was early in the 1742 01:05:17,990 --> 01:05:15,760 spring morning and all of them at the 1743 01:05:20,710 --> 01:05:18,000 same time saw this enormous object over 1744 01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:20,720 the over the irish sea like a huge 1745 01:05:24,870 --> 01:05:22,480 object as big as a battleship with lots 1746 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:24,880 of other objects circling around it 1747 01:05:32,069 --> 01:05:28,319 and um the di55 report well sorry not 1748 01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:32,079 the i-55 it's their predecessors dis 1749 01:05:35,829 --> 01:05:34,240 yeah it was air intelligence i think 1750 01:05:39,029 --> 01:05:35,839 they were called 1751 01:05:41,430 --> 01:05:39,039 tech their report on that west florida 1752 01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:41,440 has survived it's in it did survive at 1753 01:05:45,910 --> 01:05:43,680 the national archives i can send you 1754 01:05:47,829 --> 01:05:45,920 copies of that and it's interesting 1755 01:05:50,069 --> 01:05:47,839 because it does actually say we can't 1756 01:05:52,789 --> 01:05:50,079 explain it and there was obviously some 1757 01:05:55,750 --> 01:05:52,799 object in the sky that was 1758 01:05:56,549 --> 01:05:55,760 seen on radar uh it wasn't seen visually 1759 01:05:58,309 --> 01:05:56,559 but 1760 01:06:00,470 --> 01:05:58,319 i think the phrase they use is you know 1761 01:06:02,470 --> 01:06:00,480 there were four very large reflecting 1762 01:06:05,190 --> 01:06:02,480 objects that weren't charged clouds and 1763 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:05,200 weren't sort of meteorological phenomena 1764 01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:07,760 and the reason that that file wasn't 1765 01:06:12,549 --> 01:06:10,240 destroyed and it survived was because 1766 01:06:14,630 --> 01:06:12,559 the one of the radar operators talked to 1767 01:06:16,950 --> 01:06:14,640 one of the sunday tabloids 1768 01:06:18,390 --> 01:06:16,960 about the story so it was front page 1769 01:06:20,390 --> 01:06:18,400 headlines and then there were questions 1770 01:06:23,190 --> 01:06:20,400 asked in parliament and 1771 01:06:24,549 --> 01:06:23,200 amazingly at the jic 1772 01:06:26,870 --> 01:06:24,559 which is the joint intelligence 1773 01:06:29,750 --> 01:06:26,880 committee in london which is like the 1774 01:06:32,950 --> 01:06:29,760 absolute top intelligence um 1775 01:06:34,230 --> 01:06:32,960 where you've got mi5 mi6 gchq 1776 01:06:36,069 --> 01:06:34,240 it's there in the minute so they 1777 01:06:38,549 --> 01:06:36,079 couldn't destroy the evidence for that 1778 01:06:41,029 --> 01:06:38,559 one and it's actually in the files it's 1779 01:06:43,270 --> 01:06:41,039 just such a pity that no one 1780 01:06:44,950 --> 01:06:43,280 involved in lakenheath spoke to the 1781 01:06:46,630 --> 01:06:44,960 media at the time because if they had 1782 01:06:49,589 --> 01:06:46,640 have done they wouldn't have been able 1783 01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:49,599 to destroy the material that they have 1784 01:06:52,470 --> 01:06:50,880 destroyed 1785 01:06:55,029 --> 01:06:52,480 yeah absolutely 1786 01:06:57,589 --> 01:06:55,039 uh oh mr strafe wilson good to see you 1787 01:07:00,150 --> 01:06:57,599 strafe does dave have any comments on 1788 01:07:02,789 --> 01:07:00,160 the current state of the ufo uap topic 1789 01:07:03,589 --> 01:07:02,799 are we gaining ground 1790 01:07:07,270 --> 01:07:03,599 oh 1791 01:07:11,190 --> 01:07:08,870 i don't know are we we seem to be 1792 01:07:13,349 --> 01:07:11,200 getting somewhere when the pentagon 1793 01:07:14,789 --> 01:07:13,359 published their report and although 1794 01:07:17,430 --> 01:07:14,799 people thought it was a bit of a damp 1795 01:07:19,109 --> 01:07:17,440 squib i thought there were some um quite 1796 01:07:21,270 --> 01:07:19,119 interesting things in it i think the 1797 01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:21,280 idea that they had for doing like a 1798 01:07:25,829 --> 01:07:23,200 real-time radar 1799 01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:25,839 study of some of the areas where these 1800 01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:27,359 things have been seen for example in the 1801 01:07:30,710 --> 01:07:29,440 southern pacific ocean around the coast 1802 01:07:32,789 --> 01:07:30,720 of california 1803 01:07:34,150 --> 01:07:32,799 rather than they were basically saying 1804 01:07:36,870 --> 01:07:34,160 we're not going to get anywhere looking 1805 01:07:38,630 --> 01:07:36,880 at historical cases sadly 1806 01:07:40,950 --> 01:07:38,640 like lake and heath 1807 01:07:43,029 --> 01:07:40,960 because they happened so long ago 1808 01:07:45,670 --> 01:07:43,039 however evidential we might think they 1809 01:07:46,630 --> 01:07:45,680 are as ufologists from a military point 1810 01:07:48,870 --> 01:07:46,640 of view 1811 01:07:50,789 --> 01:07:48,880 people's stories without 1812 01:07:52,309 --> 01:07:50,799 hard evidence like radar tapes and 1813 01:07:54,390 --> 01:07:52,319 photographs and all the rest of it don't 1814 01:07:56,710 --> 01:07:54,400 really amount to much so what they seem 1815 01:07:59,029 --> 01:07:56,720 to be suggesting and they may well be 1816 01:08:00,789 --> 01:07:59,039 doing this now because they've asked for 1817 01:08:03,750 --> 01:08:00,799 all this additional funding 1818 01:08:06,390 --> 01:08:03,760 is to actually you know have 1819 01:08:08,230 --> 01:08:06,400 real-time radars monitoring parts of the 1820 01:08:10,950 --> 01:08:08,240 world where some of these um strange 1821 01:08:12,870 --> 01:08:10,960 uaps have been seen have aircraft ready 1822 01:08:15,510 --> 01:08:12,880 to scramble a bit like what we've just 1823 01:08:17,189 --> 01:08:15,520 heard at lakenheath yeah but when 1824 01:08:18,789 --> 01:08:17,199 something happens 1825 01:08:20,789 --> 01:08:18,799 hack actually be monitoring the 1826 01:08:22,390 --> 01:08:20,799 situation in real time so you've got two 1827 01:08:24,309 --> 01:08:22,400 or three different radars you've got 1828 01:08:25,990 --> 01:08:24,319 aircraft you've got visual observers 1829 01:08:27,829 --> 01:08:26,000 that's what you need 1830 01:08:31,189 --> 01:08:27,839 and that's what they should be looking 1831 01:08:33,430 --> 01:08:31,199 for and sadly we have had this in 1832 01:08:35,189 --> 01:08:33,440 instances like lake and heath bend 1833 01:08:36,630 --> 01:08:35,199 waters in the past but sadly they 1834 01:08:38,630 --> 01:08:36,640 haven't kept the evidence or they 1835 01:08:40,229 --> 01:08:38,640 haven't shared it with the people that 1836 01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:40,239 should have shared it with so we can 1837 01:08:44,229 --> 01:08:41,759 only hope that that's what they might do 1838 01:08:46,149 --> 01:08:44,239 but i've absolutely no doubt i've have 1839 01:08:48,550 --> 01:08:46,159 no confidence shall i say that the 1840 01:08:50,390 --> 01:08:48,560 british are doing anything remotely as 1841 01:08:51,510 --> 01:08:50,400 comprehensive as this i mean i think 1842 01:08:53,110 --> 01:08:51,520 they'll just be doing what they've 1843 01:08:54,550 --> 01:08:53,120 always done and just said well the 1844 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:54,560 americans have got more money and more 1845 01:09:00,470 --> 01:08:58,239 resources than we have leave it to them 1846 01:09:02,149 --> 01:09:00,480 yeah absolutely well listen david we've 1847 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:02,159 just hit an hour and ten minutes in we 1848 01:09:06,789 --> 01:09:04,560 we're gonna bring up another case but my 1849 01:09:08,550 --> 01:09:06,799 suggestion will be that we'll do with 1850 01:09:10,309 --> 01:09:08,560 that case what we did with this one and 1851 01:09:12,390 --> 01:09:10,319 maybe dedicate you know half an hour or 1852 01:09:14,309 --> 01:09:12,400 at least an hour to it in the future if 1853 01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:14,319 you're okay with that i think these 1854 01:09:18,470 --> 01:09:16,400 cases do warrant looking back on because 1855 01:09:20,709 --> 01:09:18,480 they're not heard of or spoken about as 1856 01:09:22,709 --> 01:09:20,719 much as as we'd probably like especially 1857 01:09:24,870 --> 01:09:22,719 when they've got that much evidence and 1858 01:09:26,630 --> 01:09:24,880 and data so 1859 01:09:28,630 --> 01:09:26,640 yeah oh we've got a question here i 1860 01:09:29,910 --> 01:09:28,640 didn't know if the signal has joined us 1861 01:09:31,990 --> 01:09:29,920 uh 1862 01:09:33,990 --> 01:09:32,000 do you think details on big cases like 1863 01:09:35,430 --> 01:09:34,000 roswell could be lost due to poor 1864 01:09:37,110 --> 01:09:35,440 record-keeping 1865 01:09:38,149 --> 01:09:37,120 straight answer to that is definitely 1866 01:09:39,669 --> 01:09:38,159 yes 1867 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:39,679 and i think 1868 01:09:44,149 --> 01:09:42,400 sadly we've got to recognize that um we 1869 01:09:45,590 --> 01:09:44,159 might think this subject is interesting 1870 01:09:46,709 --> 01:09:45,600 but there's an awful lot of people 1871 01:09:48,309 --> 01:09:46,719 particularly in the military and 1872 01:09:49,749 --> 01:09:48,319 government who think it's a complete 1873 01:09:52,870 --> 01:09:49,759 waste of time 1874 01:09:56,390 --> 01:09:52,880 and public money and sadly those that 1875 01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:56,400 that mindset has has just as 1876 01:10:00,149 --> 01:09:58,080 their influence and they've got a lot of 1877 01:10:02,470 --> 01:10:00,159 influence they've destroyed a lot of 1878 01:10:04,149 --> 01:10:02,480 this material i mean i should mention 1879 01:10:06,870 --> 01:10:04,159 here i mean you know about this vinny 1880 01:10:08,390 --> 01:10:06,880 but um a colleague of mine um matthew 1881 01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:08,400 hillsley 1882 01:10:13,110 --> 01:10:10,800 recently um put in a freedom of 1883 01:10:15,510 --> 01:10:13,120 information act request and 1884 01:10:17,990 --> 01:10:15,520 to try and find out what's happened to 1885 01:10:19,350 --> 01:10:18,000 the unredacted version of the condyle 1886 01:10:21,189 --> 01:10:19,360 report which as you know was only 1887 01:10:23,030 --> 01:10:21,199 finished in 2000 1888 01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:23,040 and the one that was released there's 1889 01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:25,360 bits of it that were top secret and i 1890 01:10:29,110 --> 01:10:27,600 was told that this file it would be 1891 01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:29,120 preserved it could be released at the 1892 01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:31,920 national archives well matthew um sent a 1893 01:10:35,270 --> 01:10:34,080 freedom of information request last year 1894 01:10:37,669 --> 01:10:35,280 i think he was 1895 01:10:40,070 --> 01:10:37,679 and after a long delay because of all 1896 01:10:42,070 --> 01:10:40,080 the usual things coveted et cetera 1897 01:10:43,990 --> 01:10:42,080 someone came back to him and said well 1898 01:10:46,790 --> 01:10:44,000 we've looked for it but um we think it's 1899 01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:46,800 been accidentally destroyed 1900 01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:49,600 this is the condone report 1901 01:10:53,990 --> 01:10:51,840 that's ridiculous 1902 01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:54,000 i mean is that stupidity or just 1903 01:10:56,870 --> 01:10:55,600 negligence 1904 01:10:59,590 --> 01:10:56,880 i mean well 1905 01:11:01,590 --> 01:10:59,600 again i just i just think they they just 1906 01:11:03,750 --> 01:11:01,600 they don't value it they don't value the 1907 01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:03,760 subject they don't um 1908 01:11:07,350 --> 01:11:05,840 they don't think it's important they 1909 01:11:09,590 --> 01:11:07,360 they just they just think they just 1910 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:09,600 regard the likes of us as nuisance as a 1911 01:11:14,470 --> 01:11:12,560 nuisance basically so anyway um this has 1912 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,480 got me on their back and i've raised it 1913 01:11:18,229 --> 01:11:16,320 with my mp 1914 01:11:20,070 --> 01:11:18,239 and put in a formal complaint to the 1915 01:11:21,430 --> 01:11:20,080 information commissioner so i think 1916 01:11:22,630 --> 01:11:21,440 they'll be seeing a bit of heat over 1917 01:11:25,430 --> 01:11:22,640 this one 1918 01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:25,440
