1
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:05,829
they called it

2
00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:16,720
the warminster thing

3
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:19,359
i saw this thing go over what they call

4
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,560
the thing you know

5
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:22,400
and it was exactly like a railway

6
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:24,000
carriage

7
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:26,960
you know litter it started up overhead

8
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,760
there

9
00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,080
and i saw it and watched it right at his

10
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,399
side right over the hills

11
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:34,399
but i looked in that direction there was

12
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:36,160
a silver plane

13
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,440
and a pink one like a between a pink and

14
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:41,440
a red cerise color then

15
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:44,160
right side by side and they were in that

16
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,879
direction

17
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,320
and there was no club and i don't know

18
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:48,879
where it went to i heard his noises

19
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:52,399
hell of a noise it was and um came

20
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:56,960
down you know it was a bit misty foggy

21
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,879
and uh well it was like as if a tin can

22
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,399
was filled with nuts and bolts you know

23
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:04,159
and somebody was rattling it what i did

24
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:06,080
see was a green shimmering light for

25
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,119
about quarter of an hour

26
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,799
but it's hard to explain just like a

27
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,320
bright light with a red light in the

28
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,360
middle

29
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,400
i should get cigar shape

30
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,040
glowing at each end i saw something over

31
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:18,880
there between those two bungalows and to

32
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:19,520
me

33
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,920
it looked as if it was about 500 feet

34
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:22,880
high

35
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:27,119
resembles something like a comet but

36
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,000
comets are white

37
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:30,720
so uh this one was orange oval colour so

38
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:31,119
it

39
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,119
certainly wasn't a comet there very well

40
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,280
might be something in the stratosphere

41
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:37,119
i mean we're sending spaceships to other

42
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,880
planets and i can't see any reason why

43
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,000
if there is life on another

44
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:42,240
planet they shouldn't be sending a craft

45
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:43,119
to us

46
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:46,000
obviously these things whatever they are

47
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:47,280
infinitely maneuverable

48
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,920
they're certainly beyond our ability to

49
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,840
catch we can't put salt on their tails

50
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:53,119
as it were

51
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:56,880
tell me what you saw just an object in

52
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:58,000
the sky

53
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,680
what did it look like like a saucer

54
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,600
yes and were there any lights or

55
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,520
anything no it's just a white object of

56
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:07,360
this stuff

57
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:09,520
we were busy in here but we had to come

58
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:10,479
back in

59
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:11,920
but the three soldiers that were there

60
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:13,920
with us they also saw it

61
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,360
and they described it more or less like

62
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:17,680
a lampshade

63
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,959
well although i've seen it it hasn't

64
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:20,800
convinced me i still don't think there's

65
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:21,360
anything

66
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:24,959
in itself i think it's just a lord of

67
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,840
truth

68
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:28,239
that's all hundreds perhaps thousands of

69
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,840
people were convinced that creatures

70
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,080
from outer space had arrived

71
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:34,640
excitement grew to fear so much so that

72
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:35,280
on august

73
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,800
27 1965 the council chairman took the

74
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:40,800
extraordinary step of calling a public

75
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,599
meeting

76
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,000
the town hall was besieged and the war

77
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,040
minster legend had begun

78
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,959
i have never seen anything like it that

79
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:50,400
friday evening

80
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:53,680
it was fantastic the people in the town

81
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,120
the reporters all the dailies

82
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:59,440
my phone didn't stop ringing we had them

83
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,959
knocking at the doors

84
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,879
i've never seen anything like it the

85
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,319
only thing i could do

86
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,800
on the monday morning i went on holiday

87
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:08,560
to get away from it

88
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,000
it started off christmas eve 1964

89
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:16,800
which we published a very respected

90
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:19,440
member of orminster's postmaster

91
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:20,400
actually

92
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:23,440
he reckoned he had strange noises

93
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:26,959
on christmas eve rattling on the roof

94
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,879
no known calls and really i suppose

95
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,879
that's what started it and from then it

96
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:34,560
snowballed

97
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:37,440
reports multiplied eerie shapes ghostly

98
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,640
lights in the sky

99
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:40,720
and more than anything that awful

100
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,480
terrifying noise

101
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:44,319
from all over the world the watchers

102
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:46,080
came scanning the skies from the

103
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:48,000
hilltops around this wiltshire market

104
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:48,799
town

105
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:51,200
in four months 400 sightings had been

106
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,239
reported

107
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,000
in the pubs and in the shops the talk

108
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,159
was of little else but the thing

109
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,400
and generations of television reporters

110
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:00,720
were to cut their teeth on the mystery

111
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,560
and this wiltshire town is back in the

112
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,480
news again because yet another attempt

113
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,560
is now being made to identify

114
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,959
the warminster thing now the warminster

115
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,720
thing as some people already know

116
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:13,040
is the term given to mysterious objects

117
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:14,720
which have been seen in the sky around

118
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,000
these parts

119
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:18,160
and this latest investigation the most

120
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,519
comprehensive yet

121
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,600
is being undertaken by an organization

122
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,199
called bufora

123
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:25,040
now that stands for the british

124
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:27,120
unidentified flying object

125
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,479
research association it seemed

126
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,160
incredible but in warminster

127
00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,639
excitement was it fever pitch surely

128
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:36,639
they argued the sheer weight of evidence

129
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,240
meant that something was going on

130
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:42,479
we have no doubt whatsoever that the

131
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:43,759
phenomena

132
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:46,000
at war minster the suns and the stats

133
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:48,000
are connected with and caused by flying

134
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:49,040
sources

135
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,320
and therefore of course it is our

136
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:52,160
business we are investigating have been

137
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:53,759
since the

138
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:56,320
phenomena were widely reported now the

139
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,160
all-important question does this thing

140
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:00,639
really exist or is it just a joke it

141
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,160
exists undoubtedly

142
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:05,120
we have very a very wide range of

143
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,560
testimonies from people all

144
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,720
walks of life they are testing through

145
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:10,400
that fade

146
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,080
the sights and sounds around here leave

147
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:14,400
no doubt that what we're dealing with it

148
00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:17,759
is a flying saucer or its flying saucers

149
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,199
and of course the existence of those

150
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:23,520
is i think unquestionable would you say

151
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:25,280
that we face any danger from these

152
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:26,960
flying sources

153
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,919
i would say it can't be ruled out so far

154
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,199
of course there have been there have

155
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:33,280
been no

156
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,120
overt acts of hostility which can

157
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,280
definitely be established to be such

158
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:38,960
there are some disturbing incidents but

159
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:40,240
of course it's possible that another

160
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:41,759
interpretation ought to be put

161
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,160
on these things i don't think we need to

162
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,880
be afraid to go to bed tonight but uh

163
00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,800
one never knows of course in the long

164
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,479
run

165
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,960
but real or imagined warminster was in

166
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,400
ferment

167
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,720
indeed it was activity was centered on

168
00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,280
the two great hills outside the town

169
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,440
reports seemingly reliable spoke of

170
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:03,440
whole flocks of pigeons struck dead in

171
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,560
mid-flight

172
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:06,800
soil samples from key areas turned up

173
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:08,639
the remains of moles and mice

174
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,160
their bodies riddled with tiny holes

175
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,840
it was the greatest story the little

176
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:15,919
warminster journal ever had

177
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:17,600
it had all begun quietly enough at

178
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:20,160
christmas tucked away beneath their new

179
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:20,960
year calendar

180
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:23,840
was a report of a noise unearthly and

181
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,720
terrifying

182
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,720
suddenly the silence was broken by a

183
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:28,800
crackling sound emanating from the bell

184
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:30,080
hill direction

185
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,600
at first she thought that it was simply

186
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,600
a lorry unloading on the hill

187
00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,759
but it passed over her head and became

188
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:37,759
louder and louder

189
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,919
letters began to arrive more reports

190
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,080
followed but even then the story was

191
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:44,160
almost hidden below the births marriages

192
00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:44,800
and deaths

193
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,919
the farming reports and the adverts that

194
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,919
menacing vibrating noise has been heard

195
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:51,440
again in warminster

196
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,599
the shock waves of sound which can kill

197
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:54,880
and name birds

198
00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:57,840
and stun the senses of rational people

199
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:58,479
finally

200
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:01,120
belatedly it made the headline and after

201
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:03,280
that and for the next 10 years or more

202
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,039
stories about creatures from other

203
00:07:08,890 --> 00:07:07,280
planets became part of the staple diet

204
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,900
in the newspaper columns

205
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,479
[Music]

206
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:12,639
barely two days after the public meeting

207
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,800
held in warminster town hall to discuss

208
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,160
and try to identify

209
00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:18,479
the thing it has been seen by at least

210
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,360
five people

211
00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,160
over the bank holiday period whether you

212
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,599
believed it all or not

213
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:25,280
the stories of the experiences of the

214
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,840
people of warminster became ever more

215
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,880
gripping

216
00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:32,880
he was shaking in every limb when he

217
00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:34,400
staggered indoors

218
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:36,639
his family were most concerned but it

219
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:38,720
was some time before he told them of his

220
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:40,319
peculiar experience

221
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:42,880
on that walk through the darkness he saw

222
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,360
nothing it was a noise that made the

223
00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:47,520
strong lads knees knock

224
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,670
people were rushing here from all parts

225
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:55,759
of the country who were interested in

226
00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:57,039
ufos

227
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:59,680
um we hadn't heard much about it until

228
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,400
then

229
00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:03,120
but we had a number of callers at the

230
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:03,599
office

231
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:05,599
wanting to know what was going on and

232
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:08,560
they were going up on the plane and

233
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:11,039
spotting at night and staying up there

234
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:12,160
all night

235
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:14,800
well by the time they'd been up there in

236
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:15,440
the dark

237
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,560
and looking at the sky i think they saw

238
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,879
a lot more than was really there

239
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,720
obviously some people really thought

240
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:24,080
they saw something

241
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,039
and but i'm sure that everybody who's

242
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,280
been out and looked at the stars

243
00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:31,360
but by the time you've stood gazing at

244
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,200
them for 10 minutes they all appear to

245
00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,599
be moving about

246
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:38,159
but one photographer mr gordon faulkner

247
00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,200
had better luck

248
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,800
he managed to take a picture of a flying

249
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,959
saucer that hit the british press in a

250
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,959
big way and then went round the world

251
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:47,040
mr falconer in fact has done much to put

252
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,880
warminster on the flying saucer map

253
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:51,440
this is how he got his picture i had a

254
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:52,560
camera with me

255
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:54,080
i was taking it down to my sister who

256
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:55,600
wanted to borrow it

257
00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,320
and uh well as i said i just had the

258
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,080
camera with me and

259
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:03,120
pure luck i just took a picture the

260
00:09:05,350 --> 00:09:03,600
object

261
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,360
was staying still all this time was it

262
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,040
or was it now it was moving

263
00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,040
but moving slowly it was moving fairly

264
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:11,600
fast i wouldn't like to say how fast but

265
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:14,480
i couldn't say how fast now some people

266
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,839
have said that when they try to take a

267
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,200
picture of one of these things there's

268
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,519
been some mysterious force or radiation

269
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,519
that stopped camera from working did you

270
00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:24,240
find this and then stop my camera anyway

271
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:25,839
have you had people say that this

272
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:28,000
picture is a fake of course i have yes i

273
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:28,320
mean

274
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,839
what do you say to them when they say

275
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,519
that they're entitled to their own

276
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,920
opinion i know it's not a fake

277
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,279
and it doesn't really bother me what

278
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:36,959
other people think

279
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:39,279
some people nonetheless are distinctly

280
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,160
bothered

281
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,560
colonel allen for instance i think the

282
00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:44,560
whole thing's a lot of nonsense

283
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,120
why do you say that well to begin with

284
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:49,519
there isn't a single

285
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:52,720
uh sighting by somebody who's should we

286
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:53,839
say in

287
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:57,040
qualified uh to give a

288
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,880
impartial scientific assessment of the

289
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,040
sighting now you believe

290
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:02,720
i think that it's possible to fake

291
00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:04,079
photographs of these objects

292
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,839
fairly easily in fact you've done it

293
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:07,120
yourself yes

294
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:09,200
have you done this yes well i had one

295
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:10,720
color film left on

296
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:14,240
on a a reel and uh

297
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:18,320
so i produced i produced this and

298
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,360
this is exactly what well the

299
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:23,200
the flying object was actually drawn on

300
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:24,800
a piece of paper

301
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:27,120
and uh cut out in outline and then

302
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:28,240
photographed

303
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:30,720
against a blue bath towel on the ground

304
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:32,320
whilst i stood on a step ladder leaning

305
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,920
against the wall of the house

306
00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:35,600
and i moved the camera slightly as i

307
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:36,959
took the photograph so as to blur the

308
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:37,519
thing

309
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:39,040
and what are the reactions of the

310
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:40,880
believers to this photograph have you

311
00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:41,760
shown it to anything well

312
00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:43,839
no i've kept it fairly quiet because i

313
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:46,160
had intended originally to bring it out

314
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,200
uh whilst admitting it was a fake

315
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:52,079
next time the thing blew up as i'm sure

316
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:53,040
it will do

317
00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,069
number 42 chapel street war minster is

318
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:02,560
out of this world it's britain's first

319
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,160
satellite station for tracking

320
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:06,800
unidentified flying objects using

321
00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:09,200
binoculars in the high-powered telescope

322
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,600
the ufo brigade are mixing up a storm in

323
00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:12,959
the wiltshire heavens

324
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:15,279
looking for close encounters of the

325
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,200
third kind well i was in the army at the

326
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:19,680
time and it was way back in 64 and uh

327
00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:21,760
myself and two friends were down

328
00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:24,000
the local park just over the road there

329
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,600
and uh

330
00:11:29,190 --> 00:11:27,360
we saw these people looking into the sky

331
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:29,200
and lo and behold there was a ufo

332
00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:30,880
well i think it was a ufo it was just

333
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,880
cigar shaped you know the typical

334
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,640
gray cigar shaped and hovered for about

335
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:36,000
20 minutes over the church and that was

336
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:42,650
all the actual town

337
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,710
it's from this vantage point on cradle

338
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,560
hill high over warminster

339
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,959
to the british ufo society are hitching

340
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,800
their wagon to a star

341
00:12:01,829 --> 00:12:00,720
as real or imaginary as you care to

342
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,839
believe

343
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,079
they claim the skies around war minister

344
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:06,000
are littered with ufo junk

345
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,000
which shines on the faithful who come

346
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:10,639
here from all over the world

347
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,120
on a clear day they say you can see

348
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:15,120
practically anything

349
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,040
strange lights of brilliant color have

350
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,360
been reported streaking across the sky

351
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,279
sometimes hovering for several minutes

352
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,839
before disappearing into the hillside

353
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:25,440
more exaggerated claims

354
00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:28,000
speak of elf-like visitors coming down

355
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,519
from flying saucers

356
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:31,440
and interrupting army maneuvers at the

357
00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:34,560
nearby royal school of infantry

358
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,839
but seeing is believing say the ufo

359
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:38,880
society and it's true

360
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:41,120
that more and more people disillusioned

361
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,560
with life on earth

362
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,959
want to believe in a force outside their

363
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,399
understanding

364
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:48,480
for this reason the ufo people are

365
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:50,480
offering star weekends

366
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,240
with bed and breakfast tossed in between

367
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,959
the odd galactic happening

368
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,720
but the town of warminster which is

369
00:13:02,710 --> 00:12:59,200
preparing for its summer tourist season

370
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:02,720
thinks ufos are strictly non-new

371
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,320
overtures to the local chamber of

372
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:06,480
commerce for more hotel accommodation

373
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,320
went down with as much conviction as

374
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:11,519
finding a black hole on salisbury plain

375
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:14,000
but undeterred the ufo society are

376
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,760
fighting on

377
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:17,519
inside a cottage they've bought and

378
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,000
renovated for eleven thousand pounds

379
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:22,079
they're hoping to wet the imagination of

380
00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:23,200
star trekkers

381
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:26,079
with ufo badges stickers note paper

382
00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:26,639
books

383
00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,000
and t-shirts a massive literature is

384
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:32,959
being gathered to awaken skeptical minds

385
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:35,360
photographs of actual sightings are on

386
00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:36,160
display

387
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:37,440
although few of them have been

388
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:40,240
authenticated it's said that ninety

389
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,480
percent of all reported sightings can be

390
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:44,880
explained by natural phenomena

391
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:48,160
but what about the other ten percent

392
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:50,639
sally pike believes she witnessed the

393
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,920
real thing

394
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:53,680
the closest sighting i've ever had i

395
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:56,800
believe was um star hill at mormonster

396
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:58,560
and that was a really good one you know

397
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:01,680
it was close up oh i should say that

398
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:03,760
quarter of a mile i suppose a large

399
00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,240
orange globe floating across from the

400
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:08,160
stonehenge direction right in front of

401
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,600
about 12 of us

402
00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,760
you know who were present at the time it

403
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:13,519
was just twilight

404
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:15,680
and through binoculars when you observe

405
00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:16,720
this you could see the

406
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:19,199
traditional disc shape with the sort of

407
00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:21,199
orange light flashing on the top and it

408
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:22,880
followed the contours of the hill

409
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:26,240
at star and came down you know fairly

410
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:28,160
close at hand and it sort of hovered it

411
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:29,040
was an actual

412
00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:32,160
beautiful shot you know like as if it

413
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:35,199
posed specially for us and then whilst

414
00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:36,880
everybody watched it the light on the

415
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:37,199
top

416
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,560
changed from the un orange to a white

417
00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:43,360
and it seemed to spin and it you know

418
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,079
it's visible

419
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:45,760
there for about i think it was two

420
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:48,320
minutes the british ufo society claimed

421
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,399
that people who come to war minster in

422
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,320
search of terrestrial phenomena

423
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,800
feel a form of magnetic attraction which

424
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,480
draws them here

425
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:58,320
that may be as high flown as martians

426
00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,839
eating mashed potato

427
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,440
but it certainly helps newspaper

428
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:03,120
circulations

429
00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:05,440
if warminster is to become a happy

430
00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:07,199
holiday ground for star struck

431
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:08,240
earthlings

432
00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:11,040
what's on offer ken rogers a ufo

433
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:12,639
director explains

434
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:15,120
well we can put you up for weekends or

435
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,680
even weeks holidays if he wants to

436
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:19,279
there's a shortage of accommodation in

437
00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:20,800
the town hotel wise

438
00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:22,720
and here people can come and sky watch

439
00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:24,160
at night come in sort of in the early

440
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:25,519
hours of the morning and so on

441
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,720
they could also come and during the

442
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:28,959
daytime and study for literature

443
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:31,600
uh right to do research and so on if i

444
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,320
didn't

445
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,560
see a ufo would you give me my money

446
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:36,160
back we can't guarantee that you'll see

447
00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:37,600
a ufo we can't guarantee that anybody

448
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:38,000
will

449
00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:39,920
see anything inexplicable there's been

450
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:42,079
so much evidence from just local towns

451
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:43,040
people and from people

452
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,560
from all over the country and many parts

453
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:46,399
of the world who have come here and seen

454
00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:48,480
and the walmart is the most likely place

455
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:50,079
to come in any part of the country than

456
00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:51,120
anywhere else

457
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:53,680
and so it's up to the entire company of

458
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:54,639
flying saucers

459
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,880
cigar-shaped objects bright lights and

460
00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,240
supporting androids

461
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:00,399
to get their little show lit up over the

462
00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:02,639
skies of warminster this summer

463
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:05,680
the british ufo society are hoping the

464
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:06,399
force

465
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:18,790
it's the interplanetary traffic which

466
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:20,320
singles out warminster

467
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:22,880
for two decades has been haunted by the

468
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:23,360
thing

469
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:26,560
afternoon

470
00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:29,680
it was just rain clouds but there's

471
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:31,519
nothing like a good anniversary

472
00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:32,320
exhibition

473
00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:34,959
even if it is about the unexplained

474
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:36,959
twenty years worth of speculation and

475
00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:38,560
study is on show

476
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:41,519
it goes to prove that in ufo ratings war

477
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:42,079
mister

478
00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:44,160
is definitely the final frontier for

479
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:45,199
flying saucers

480
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:48,880
and little green men the thing was heard

481
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,360
a long time before it was seen during

482
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,920
the summer of 1964 people in the

483
00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:55,360
district of warminster

484
00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:57,759
were startled by sharp crackling noises

485
00:17:02,389 --> 00:16:58,880
in the sky

486
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:02,399
then during the summer of 1965 the thing

487
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:04,640
was spotted here in the village

488
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:06,240
churchyard of hatesbury

489
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:08,400
the vicar his wife and son were

490
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:10,160
mesmerized for half an hour

491
00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:13,439
by a fiery red cigar shape in the sky

492
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:15,600
it was the first of many sightings to

493
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:16,720
come

494
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:19,600
it sparked a sky watch space groupies

495
00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,600
with telescopes camped out

496
00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:23,360
scientists from all over the world came

497
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:25,520
to study something that mostly wasn't

498
00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:26,160
there

499
00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:29,360
the lucky ones witnessed strange sights

500
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:31,919
i was invited up here in eastern 1966 by

501
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,760
the local journalist who then said

502
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,520
come up onto cradle hill and on any

503
00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:36,799
clear night will guarantee you'll see

504
00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:37,919
something inexplicable

505
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:40,160
i thought i was nickel you know i came

506
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:40,960
up here

507
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,880
and lo and behold at about 9 30 in the

508
00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:45,039
evening a good formation of five lights

509
00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:46,160
suddenly appeared in the sky

510
00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:48,799
just where we are now and appeared from

511
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:50,000
nowhere from the sky

512
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:52,240
and went across in that direction

513
00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,520
towards clay hill

514
00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:55,679
and then the lead one went way faster

515
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,720
and it ended up

516
00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:58,799
going into what we call a base star and

517
00:18:01,510 --> 00:18:00,160
it went inside the belly of the thing

518
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,520
and of course this base star wasn't real

519
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,280
star it was a craft

520
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,360
and no logical explanation for that none

521
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,960
whatsoever it wasn't the army

522
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:08,480
it wasn't aircraft it wasn't a weather

523
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:14,230
ufo

524
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:17,039
from all the books i've read i would say

525
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:17,360
that

526
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:20,640
uh 99

527
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:23,919
chance that there are visitors that come

528
00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:24,880
here and

529
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:25,919
we don't know much about them the

530
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:27,760
americans are very cagey about all these

531
00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,000
things

532
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,000
you know don't bother to look very much

533
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:32,160
so yeah

534
00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:33,600
not interested no a lot of people go out

535
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,070
i was in a flight to spain one year

536
00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:42,720
i went to the cockpit of the plane and i

537
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:44,400
said to the pilot

538
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,440
you ever seen the flying saucers no yes

539
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:49,200
they frequently fly along beside me in

540
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:51,120
the cockpit

541
00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:54,000
what you know about there and he wasn't

542
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:55,600
he wasn't pulling my leg

543
00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:58,240
i suppose there must be something yeah

544
00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:59,600
silly if there ain't

545
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,679
a big place in it a bit bigger than

546
00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:03,600
warmest there's got to be something

547
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:04,640
are you going to be on top of the hill

548
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:07,760
tonight i doubt it you see i'm 81

549
00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:10,559
plus and uh i don't do much wandering

550
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:11,679
around at night like

551
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:14,320
i might have done if i was your age well

552
00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:16,480
it certainly changed the life of one man

553
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:18,559
the local newspaper reporter arthur

554
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,520
shuttlewood

555
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:21,440
without reservation he believed that

556
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:22,880
someone or something

557
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:26,080
was trying to make contact a lot of

558
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:27,600
people when i've recapped on their

559
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,240
stories

560
00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:30,080
they've had that same sensation that

561
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,000
they feel they feel better

562
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:34,000
perhaps not physically but mentally and

563
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,520
spiritually particularly

564
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:37,600
they want to achieve something for the

565
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:38,720
benefit of mankind

566
00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:40,720
i don't think i ever have you know but

567
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:42,000
you do get that feeling that's

568
00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:43,200
inculcated in you

569
00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:45,280
by this experience i think would it be

570
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:47,039
going too far to say that you feel

571
00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:48,640
you've had something like a religious

572
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:50,000
experience

573
00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:53,440
um yes i i don't think that would be

574
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:56,320
uh exaggerating you do you you seem to

575
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:57,039
have a new

576
00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:58,960
outlook a new mental outlook on life and

577
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:00,480
you want to help people

578
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,679
this is most peculiar perhaps and uh

579
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:05,760
it's almost incredible to you no doubt

580
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:07,520
but i felt that sensation

581
00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:09,200
i wanted to see it again and i wanted to

582
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:11,360
convince whoever was on board

583
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,600
that we weren't antagonistic and we

584
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:15,840
wanted to warmly welcome them if they

585
00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,720
cared to land

586
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:18,480
and of course they have landed they have

587
00:20:22,870 --> 00:20:21,039
landed now a lot of people agree

588
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:22,880
the mystery of these extraordinary

589
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:24,960
circles which appeared in a cornfield at

590
00:20:30,210 --> 00:20:27,280
westbury exactly two years ago has never

591
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:32,630
[Music]

592
00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:35,679
i think we are looking at a new

593
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,799
form of energy the vortex itself i

594
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:40,320
believe is created by

595
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:43,440
a new kind of energy probably related to

596
00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,200
magnetism

597
00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:48,400
i think the magnetic field of the planet

598
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:52,799
may well be being manipulated

599
00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:55,840
in an intelligent fashion

600
00:21:03,669 --> 00:20:59,760
and the evidence is beginning to support

601
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:03,679
the theory that we are there is

602
00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:06,720
an intelligent a thinking

603
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:10,159
behind this mr andrews claims to have

604
00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:11,840
been consulted by the government

605
00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:14,640
and the royal family about the circles

606
00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:15,280
he says

607
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:17,600
the circle phenomenon is building to a

608
00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:18,640
climax

609
00:21:23,260 --> 00:21:20,799
now he wants government money to fund

610
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:23,270
further investigation

611
00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,110
since man conquered space travel it

612
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,120
seemed less and less fantastic that

613
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:36,080
other beings may have been doing it too

614
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:37,440
over the decades there have been

615
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:39,440
countless ufo claims

616
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:42,080
strange lights in the sky powerful force

fields

618
00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:45,520
even spaceships themselves it's not

619
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:47,200
surprising then that some think the

620
00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:48,960
circles are caused by the classic

621
00:22:00,480 --> 00:21:50,000
circular motion

622
00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:02,630
[Music]

623
00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:04,880
the aliens may have materialized in

624
00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:07,039
sleek craft at the speed of light

625
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:08,720
but it was in his three-wheeler that

626
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:10,880
ufologist ken rogers came to wheelchair

627
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:11,760
last week

628
00:22:19,930 --> 00:22:19,029
a few days eufo spotting in the wessex

triangle

[Music]

631
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:25,520
he's been convinced since he was 16 that

632
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,080
intelligent

633
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:28,480
beings from another world started human

634
00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:29,280
life on earth

635
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:31,039
and they now return to monitor our

progress

637
00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:34,400
he's president of a ufo group called the

638
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:36,400
unexplained society

639
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:38,000
but he has an explanation for the

640
00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:40,480
circles but they're the marks left by

641
00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:46,230
what you'd first see is a strange glow

642
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:47,360
up in the sky

643
00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:49,280
it would then come down you may hear a

644
00:22:55,029 --> 00:22:50,799
strange buzzing sound

645
00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:55,039
or high-pitched wine then it would hover

646
00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:57,039
and then gradually sort of if you can

647
00:23:02,390 --> 00:22:58,960
imagine it materialize

648
00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:02,400
into a saucer shaped object and then

649
00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:05,919
gradually come down hover

650
00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:08,000
then both would come out of the sides

651
00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:09,200
and probe into the

652
00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:13,440
crop very few ufo sightings have

653
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:15,120
actually shown a convincing link with

654
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:16,080
the circles

655
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:17,840
but a wheelchair couple reports seeing

656
00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:20,159
lights and feeling a strange force field

657
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,000
when they walked into a circle near

658
00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,840
silbury hill

659
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:25,520
basically we had a very powerful

660
00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:27,280
experience whereby

661
00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:30,559
we found the place where this ufo or

662
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:32,480
spaceship landed and there's a strong

663
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:34,080
energy there which we could definitely

664
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,880
feel

665
00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:36,640
and when i was looking at hannah the

666
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:38,640
whole sky went pitch black

667
00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:41,840
which was before that a fiery sunset

668
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:45,520
and she became shining white light

669
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:48,240
i also saw the horizon which was a

670
00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:50,480
beautiful sunset turned pitch black

671
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,080
and richard embodied in silver light

672
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:55,919
also i had a lot of heat going through

673
00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:57,120
my body

674
00:24:02,549 --> 00:23:59,760
and through my arms and it was just an

675
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:02,559
incredible experience

676
00:24:07,669 --> 00:24:05,760
the skeptics say even if ufos do exist

677
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,679
why would they leave such obvious marks

678
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:09,600
in the wiltshire corn

679
00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:11,360
there's two schools of thought here

680
00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:13,039
either

681
00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:15,200
they left the calling cards letting us

682
00:24:18,710 --> 00:24:16,320
know that they've been here

683
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:18,720
they are watching us secondly they

684
00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:20,159
probably are landing in other areas as

685
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:20,640
well

686
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:22,240
and it's only we actually see them when

687
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:23,679
they land in

688
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:27,440
fully grown crop fields even the ufo

689
00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:29,120
believers are divided

690
00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:30,960
some groups say there isn't any real

691
00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:39,510
many of the circles have been found on

692
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:41,360
or near salisbury plain

693
00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:43,200
the site of one of the army's busiest

694
00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:46,000
training areas

695
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:48,159
the ministry of defense admits to having

696
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,320
damaged crops with vehicles and even

697
00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:52,960
helicopter rotor blades in the past

698
00:25:02,660 --> 00:24:55,039
but they point out when they leave their

699
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:04,070
[Music]

700
00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:05,840
circles have even cropped up on army

701
00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:07,120
land

702
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:09,360
today their range control officer is

703
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:11,200
visiting a tenant farm on the edge of

704
00:25:18,789 --> 00:25:14,330
the imbe ranges

705
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,870
two years running bernard elliot and his

706
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:22,799
wife have woken up one morning to find

707
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:24,159
their barley has been flat

708
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:27,600
same as they were last year that's right

709
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:30,080
this year it's been one large circle and

710
00:25:32,710 --> 00:25:31,200
four satellites

711
00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:32,720
it's not spiky like it is now it's

712
00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:34,799
actually growing

713
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:37,360
yes right what what's the military doing

714
00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:38,080
in this area

715
00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:39,760
as you know or something like that well

716
00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:41,440
we behave ourselves on your land or we

717
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:42,000
do our best

718
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:45,440
to i can't think of any military

719
00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:46,640
activity and i've checked the range

720
00:25:49,909 --> 00:25:47,679
calendars

721
00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:49,919
that could cause this either ground

722
00:25:54,830 --> 00:25:51,679
troops or vehicles or

723
00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,840
um or aircraft i mean it's really just a

724
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,559
puzzle

725
00:26:02,630 --> 00:25:58,640
if it isn't the army mr elliott reckons

726
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:02,640
it's either a hoax or an alien visitor

727
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:05,840
that space up there is that large

728
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:08,080
and if it's as big as people tell us it

729
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:10,080
is well we can't be that naive to think

730
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:11,600
that we're the only

731
00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:17,510
the army has taken the problem so

732
00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:19,679
seriously they've even used vehicles and

733
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:21,200
helicopters to conduct their own

734
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,960
experiments to confirm they're not

735
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:24,640
responsible

736
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:26,400
but with the experimental air base at

737
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:28,320
nearby boscom down

738
00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:30,400
couldn't the circles be caused by secret

739
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:33,200
radar or communication trials

740
00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:36,640
i've been through the whole list of um

741
00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:39,120
of exercises and trials and there's

742
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:40,559
nothing that would uh

743
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:42,000
possibly produce the sort of effect that

744
00:26:44,549 --> 00:26:43,520
we've seen today but they wouldn't tell

745
00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:44,559
you about it anyway

746
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:46,640
but i know before they come on here they

747
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:47,600
have to actually tell me what they're

748
00:26:50,630 --> 00:26:48,640
going to do

749
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:50,640
uh and i i'm always at liberty to go

750
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:52,480
inspect to see what they're doing

751
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:56,000
and i've seen or i'm aware

752
00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:57,760
that the sort of equipments that have

753
00:27:00,390 --> 00:26:59,039
been trialled here would not produce

754
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:00,400
that

755
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:03,760
phenomenon even if the military is

756
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:05,760
behind it it seems highly unlikely

757
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:08,000
they'd have kept it hidden for so long

758
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:10,960
even if they needed to as for alien

759
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:11,840
visitors

760
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:14,000
it still remains strange that no one's

761
00:27:21,669 --> 00:27:16,000
ever seen a spaceship making such

762
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:21,679
obvious marks in our crops

763
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:23,520
the world's weather has fascinated and

764
00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:26,000
confounded man since time began

765
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:27,840
although its mechanisms are now largely

766
00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:30,080
understood it remains an untamed and

767
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:32,000
sometimes mysterious force

768
00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:42,230
great wind movements like hurricanes can

769
00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:44,080
now be observed by satellite

770
00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:46,080
and their course predicted but now

771
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:47,840
there's talk of something new in the

772
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,640
skies

773
00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:50,799
an invisible atmospheric force which

774
00:27:57,350 --> 00:27:52,799
leaves not destruction in its wake

775
00:28:01,430 --> 00:27:59,909
it's the theory of dr terence meaden an

776
00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:01,440
independent meteorologist

777
00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,880
who's prepared to battle with the

778
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:04,559
scientific establishment to get his

779
00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:07,440
radical new ideas accepted

780
00:28:11,269 --> 00:28:09,200
he's the director of the tornado and

781
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:11,279
storm research organisation based at

782
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,039
bradford on avon in wheelchair

783
00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:15,600
he's been an advisor to the cgb on the

784
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:17,520
effects of tornadoes on nuclear

785
00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:19,600
installations

786
00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:21,600
and he's convinced that it's a cousin of

787
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:23,360
the tornado which is descending over

788
00:28:27,029 --> 00:28:24,320
southern england

789
00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:27,039
and causing the circles but unlike this

790
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:27,840
tornado

791
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:29,840
the mass of wind is stationary and

792
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,520
electrically charged

793
00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:33,520
dr meden maintains that the circles are

794
00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:35,919
created by a spinning ball of air

795
00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:38,640
sparking with electricity it descends

796
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:40,159
pushing the corn down

797
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,240
and leaving a spiraling pattern in its

798
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,480
wake then it recedes or simply

799
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,320
disappears into nothing

800
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,240
if he's right he's discovered a new

801
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:49,840
meteorological phenomenon

802
00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:51,840
which challenges preconceptions about

803
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:54,159
the world around us

804
00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:56,720
i see a way in which it's possible that

805
00:29:02,870 --> 00:28:58,080
vortices can be formed

806
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:02,880
in the atmosphere by natural means

807
00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:05,120
you can call that weather if you like

808
00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:06,320
it's

809
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:08,000
it is something natural in the

810
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:10,559
atmosphere i do believe

811
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:12,240
dr meadon accounts for the number of

812
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:14,080
circles in the west country by the fact

813
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:15,840
that we're looking harder for them

814
00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:17,600
he also believes that the lie of the

815
00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:19,679
land creates favorable conditions for

816
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:21,120
the vortices to be formed in the

817
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:22,240
atmosphere

818
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:24,240
and he's worked out what it may be like

819
00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:26,799
to witness a circle forming

820
00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:29,200
there would have been a tremendous rush

821
00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:29,919
of

822
00:29:38,149 --> 00:29:33,279
air at the stage spiraling around

823
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:39,669
accompanied i believe with a humming

824
00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:41,760
noise

825
00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,480
and if it happened by night possibly

826
00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:46,559
accompanied by a light as well

827
00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:47,919
but then we cannot tell whether this

828
00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:49,679
formed by day or by night

829
00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:51,120
pretty terrifying actually if you happen

830
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:52,320
to be around at the time what would have

831
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:53,440
happened if you were probably enough to

832
00:29:58,389 --> 00:29:56,080
knock you over

833
00:30:00,149 --> 00:29:58,399
dr meden says it's a complex electrical

834
00:30:01,990 --> 00:30:00,159
effect from that wind which creates the

835
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:02,000
smaller satellite rings

836
00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:04,240
his theory is closely argued and has won

837
00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:06,559
the cautious backing of a few scientists

838
00:30:10,789 --> 00:30:08,240
although most weather experts remain

839
00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:10,799
skeptical dr medan says his research

840
00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:12,559
will be completed in two years

841
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:14,559
at the moment it's the only scientific

842
00:30:34,830 --> 00:30:22,090
theory available

843
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:36,950
so

844
00:30:43,990 --> 00:30:42,559
strange circular shapes have been

845
00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:44,000
appearing in the crops

846
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:46,159
particularly in the area that was once

847
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:48,080
king arthur's wessex

848
00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:51,200
could it be that someone or something is

849
00:30:59,750 --> 00:30:57,669
everywhere you look in this part of

850
00:31:02,870 --> 00:30:59,760
england there are circles

851
00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:02,880
round barrows tumuli constant reminders

852
00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:04,480
of an age gone by

853
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:06,159
and the special significance which

854
00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:08,240
salisbury plain had for the early

855
00:31:11,190 --> 00:31:09,200
britons

856
00:31:12,549 --> 00:31:11,200
and the druids who built their most

857
00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:12,559
sacred temple here

858
00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:19,600
in the form of a circle

859
00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,760
crop circles have been found as far

860
00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,039
afield as brazil

861
00:31:27,190 --> 00:31:25,279
and japan but here in the south of

862
00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:27,200
england they're being recorded at a rate

863
00:31:31,830 --> 00:31:29,760
of about 100 every year

864
00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:31,840
there are those however who believe that

865
00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:33,440
a different form of airborne

866
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:34,559
transportation

867
00:31:37,909 --> 00:31:36,640
is actually responsible for causing the

868
00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:37,919
circles

869
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:39,679
there's a lot of military activity in

870
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:42,320
the area middle wallop is the main base

871
00:31:46,710 --> 00:31:44,480
for naval helicopters

872
00:31:48,070 --> 00:31:46,720
a few years ago colonel grevel edgecombe

873
00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,080
was surprised to find

874
00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:50,320
the finger of suspicion being pointed at

875
00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:53,039
his pilots

876
00:31:58,149 --> 00:31:56,080
a local farmer or landowner around here

877
00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:58,159
rang up and said what have you chaps

878
00:32:02,789 --> 00:31:59,600
been up to

879
00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:02,799
and i said what he said in my corn

880
00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:04,720
and i said let's have a look trundled

881
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:06,399
over and there are these extraordinary

882
00:32:10,310 --> 00:32:08,240
circles in his core

883
00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:10,320
and he was doing it lightheartedly but

884
00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:11,360
um

885
00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:14,480
quite clearly on our helicopter well why

886
00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:15,679
was it quite clearly not your

887
00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:17,360
helicopters doing it

888
00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:21,279
well when you see these the corn is laid

889
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:21,760
down

890
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:24,320
in a spiral circle and the edges all

891
00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:25,440
around the circle are

892
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:28,799
absolutely untouched absolutely sure

893
00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:30,960
where the helicopter the wind from the

894
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:32,080
helicopter blows

895
00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:34,960
down and outwards and the grass or the

896
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:37,679
corn would be dished out in a saucer

897
00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:40,960
a helicopter produces a wind downwards

898
00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:43,200
and that is not to make an absolute

899
00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:45,120
share cut you couldn't possibly do it

900
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:47,039
because the helicopter would have to

901
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,480
even if it could make it into that

902
00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:50,640
spiral would have to arrive in one spot

903
00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:52,640
and disappear again without even moving

904
00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:53,279
to get a

905
00:33:05,029 --> 00:32:56,480
perfect circle that you end up it's

906
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:07,590
so it's unlikely that it's caused by the

907
00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:09,760
downdraft of a helicopter

908
00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:12,720
we have a good eyewitness account from

909
00:33:15,990 --> 00:33:13,600
melvin bell

910
00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:16,000
who lives in wheelchair and who when

911
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:16,960
riding

912
00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:19,840
on horseback one evening saw such a

913
00:33:25,190 --> 00:33:21,600
circle being formed

914
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:25,200
this was near bratton and he

915
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:28,480
said that the spiral

916
00:33:32,149 --> 00:33:31,120
circle was laid out as he watched it and

917
00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:32,159
that in addition

918
00:33:37,190 --> 00:33:34,799
he could see dust and debris spiraling

919
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,200
upwards around the edges

920
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:39,120
all there was really was a like a world

921
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:40,880
when very much same as you were getting

922
00:33:45,029 --> 00:33:42,880
a shop increasing that where rubbish

923
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:45,039
just goes in the circle and comes

924
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:47,120
from the ground and they just left a

925
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:48,240
circle in the ground and

926
00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:50,880
really that's all there was this is what

927
00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:52,080
i've been using to explain

928
00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:53,919
some of the more unusual properties of

929
00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:55,440
the crop circles

930
00:33:59,110 --> 00:33:57,840
in fact what this is representing is

931
00:34:03,269 --> 00:33:59,120
nothing more than the foot

932
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:03,279
of a fairly conventional whirlwind that

933
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:05,600
many whirlwinds have been known to have

934
00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:06,480
in addition

935
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:09,280
an external sheath and if an external

936
00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:10,480
sheath of this salt

937
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:13,440
also comes down to ground level then one

938
00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:14,800
will get

939
00:34:17,829 --> 00:34:17,200
simply an annular ring cut out into the

940
00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:17,839
crop

941
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:20,399
and is it possible that the outer circle

942
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:22,320
would turn in a different way would spin

943
00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:23,200
in a different way

944
00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:26,560
from the inner vortex that is a

945
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:28,399
necessary consequence really of the

946
00:34:31,909 --> 00:34:30,320
conservation of angular momentum

947
00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:31,919
that the two are turning in opposite

948
00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:35,119
sensors of course not all crop circles

949
00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:36,560
have an outer ring

950
00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:38,560
others like the ones colin andrews

951
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:40,399
showed me have two

952
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:42,000
i mean as far as this formation is

953
00:34:46,790 --> 00:34:44,960
concerned it's only the second time

954
00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:46,800
uh throughout the world this this has

955
00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:48,639
ever been saved well that's with the

956
00:34:52,950 --> 00:34:49,359
with the

957
00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:52,960
rings but one of the things that

958
00:34:56,230 --> 00:34:53,919
surprises me

959
00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:56,240
is that this is going a different way

960
00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:57,520
from that band

961
00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:59,119
and from the band there one's going

962
00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,880
clockwise one's going anti-clockwise

963
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:02,400
that's absolutely consistent with

964
00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:03,520
everything we see

965
00:35:07,030 --> 00:35:05,760
these structures are a balanced entity

966
00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:07,040
the other thing is i mean you've got the

967
00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:07,280
cl

968
00:35:11,349 --> 00:35:10,079
the crop is standing perfectly around

969
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,359
the edge of it isn't it i mean

970
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:13,440
absolutely yes it is it's bought up

971
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:15,040
right there is no lateral movement

972
00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,000
whatsoever

973
00:35:20,390 --> 00:35:18,480
it gives very much the impression that

974
00:35:21,349 --> 00:35:20,400
something either from underneath or from

975
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:21,359
above

976
00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:24,320
has pushed itself into the clock without

977
00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:26,320
any lateral movement whatsoever

978
00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:28,000
are there any other phenomena there are

979
00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:29,359
a number of

980
00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:32,960
fringe phenomena events which we feel

981
00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:36,400
it is worthy of our time one such event

982
00:35:41,270 --> 00:35:39,520
occurred on i think 10 days ago just

983
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:41,280
over the brown this hill here to the

984
00:35:45,270 --> 00:35:41,839
south

985
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:45,280
east at kilmister of eligible kilbuster

986
00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,680
a lady there rushed out into her back

987
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:49,119
garden

988
00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:52,160
after hearing an extremely loud bang

989
00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:55,359
to find that a galvanized water trough

990
00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:57,200
cattle trough containing about 80

991
00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:58,400
gallons of water

992
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:00,720
and weighing approximately half a ton

993
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:02,480
connected to an underground water

994
00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:04,800
pipe had propelled itself through the

995
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:06,880
air for no apparent reason

996
00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:09,520
without touching the ground once the

997
00:36:13,349 --> 00:36:10,560
water

998
00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:13,359
i should add had disappeared what

999
00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:15,359
explanation have you got for that

1000
00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:18,000
i don't i don't frankly i have not got

1001
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:20,000
an explanation

1002
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:22,880
we are looking here at a relatively new

1003
00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:23,760
phenomenon

1004
00:36:30,310 --> 00:36:27,280
happening throughout the world

1005
00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:30,320
and cries out for understanding one a

1006
00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:32,480
scientific explanation might seem the

1007
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:33,920
most plausible

1008
00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:36,240
but why are the circles here in ancient

1009
00:36:39,910 --> 00:36:37,520
wessex

1010
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:39,920
could it be that the answer is hidden in

1011
00:36:44,310 --> 00:36:42,320
the mists of time

1012
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:44,320
i think stonehenge might well have a

1013
00:36:49,589 --> 00:36:46,160
part to play in all this

1014
00:36:52,829 --> 00:36:49,599
particularly with regard to this country

1015
00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:52,839
we noted some time ago that the

1016
00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:55,520
dimensions of these formations

1017
00:36:59,190 --> 00:36:58,000
were consistent with the dimensions of

1018
00:37:03,109 --> 00:36:59,200
the circles

00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:03,119
within stonehenge itself not only that

1020
00:37:09,910 --> 00:37:06,240
but that some of the ley lines running

1021
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:09,920
through and to stonehenge also we feel

1022
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:12,240
may well have a part to play in the

00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:18,550
so what secrets lie under the ancient

1024

burial mounds

1025
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,720
how important are the ley lines are the

1027
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:26,560
or is it just an unhappy coincidence

1028
00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,480
that brought the pilot of a harrier jump

1029
00:37:33,829 --> 00:37:30,000
jet into this area

1030
00:37:36,069 --> 00:37:33,839
on the 22nd of october 1987.

1031
00:37:37,829 --> 00:37:36,079
shortly after takeoff all radio contact

1032
00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:37,839
with the plane was lost

1033
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:40,240
it was found flying without a pilot over

1034
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:41,760
the southern tip of ireland

1035
00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:44,320
and later crashed into the atlantic the

1036
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:46,320
body of the pilot was later found

1037
00:37:54,870 --> 00:37:50,320
not far from stonehenge only yards away

1038
00:37:58,550 --> 00:37:54,880
in the same field were four crop circles

1039
00:38:00,710 --> 00:37:58,560
i was there within an hour and a half

1040
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,720
of the report of the unfortunate pilot's

1041

body being found

00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:05,280
the site well

1044
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:07,599
clearly of sadness uh for the loss of

1045
00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:08,960
the pilots

1046
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:12,480
but uh frankly it sent a chill down my

1047
00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:12,960
back

1048
00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,560
the fact that i had previously had

1049
00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:18,800
an inner feeling when i heard about the

1050
00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:20,800
accident of the aircraft

1051
00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:23,440
not knowing even where it was and where

1052
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:25,200
it actually taken place

1053
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:27,040
i just literally had an inner feeling

1054
00:38:30,390 --> 00:38:28,240
that there might well be

1055
00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:30,400
some association with our phenomenon and

1056
00:38:32,790 --> 00:38:32,480
it turned out to be absolutely precisely

1057
00:38:35,349 --> 00:38:32,800
so

1058
00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:35,359
i can't account for that and what about

1059
00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:36,320
the ufo

1060
00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:38,400
that pat and jack collins reported

1061
00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:41,359
seeing one night on stockbridge down

1062
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:43,760
as we came over the brow of the hill

1063
00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:46,000
behind you

1064
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:48,640
then you said to me didn't you cool look

1065
00:38:54,310 --> 00:38:50,880
look at that

1066
00:38:58,310 --> 00:38:54,320
there was this

1067
00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:58,320
circle with lights around the edge

1068
00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:00,800
and would appear to have been spokes

1069
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:02,240
which were also

1070
00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:05,440
lit i saw this enormous big thing it was

1071
00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:08,000
like sort of looking at a great wheel at

1072
00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:09,599
a fairground it looked that

1073
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:12,320
size like jack said it was lit up the

1074
00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:13,680
whole way round

1075
00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:16,960
and the spoke with clear like electric

1076
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:20,079
light bulb lights and the like spokes of

1077
00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:21,280
the wheels

1078
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:23,920
of us wheel and they were all lit up as

1079
00:39:28,790 --> 00:39:26,720
well and it was standing up on end

1080
00:39:30,710 --> 00:39:28,800
by the sound of it stephen spielberg was

1081
00:39:33,970 --> 00:39:30,720
pretty close to the mark when he made

1087
00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:43,359
i don't know well i definitely think

1088
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:44,800
it's something

1089
00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:48,000
it's not from this earth because as i

1090

say

1091
00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:52,160
they're so the way that corn is swept

around in them

and you've got the four evenly spaced

1094
00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:59,520
where i should think feet have come down

1095

or something

00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:04,400

one in the middle and you've got the

four

1099
00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:09,599
outside ones i mean they're so evenly

00:40:13,630 --> 00:40:10,480
spaced

1101

in bristol

00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:51,040
and they said they were walking on a

1119
00:40:56,790 --> 00:40:53,520
hill a high hill outside

1120
00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:56,800
warminster and suddenly without any

1121
00:41:01,109 --> 00:40:57,920
warning from a wood

1122
00:41:02,790 --> 00:41:01,119
nearby two of the strangest little

flying machines they'd ever seen

1124
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:04,400
suddenly shot up into the air with a

1125
00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:05,280
terrific

1126
00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:07,040
and flames and smoke and they

1127
00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:08,960
disappeared right up the way they went

1128
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:10,640
over the horizon

1129
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:13,040
and they were so astonished that they

1130
00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:14,240
thought they must be seeing things they

1131
00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:16,000
didn't like to mention it

1132
00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:18,400
and they did take the trouble to sit

1133
00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:20,640
down and write about this

1134
00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:23,200
and in that connection i want to say

1135
00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:25,119
what they saw i'm sure

1136
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:27,440
is that what has already been shown on

1137
00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:28,720
film bbc

1138
00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:31,359
film that came from the united states of

1139
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:31,839
these

1140
00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:34,960
one-man helicopters that are

1141
00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:37,040
jet propelled as well you have the rope

1142
00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:38,400
over your head and the man is

1143
00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:41,040
has it strapped on his back and i met

1144
00:41:45,109 --> 00:41:43,040
another man later on as i say

1145
00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:45,119
just now he actually saw one of these

1146
00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:46,880
come down alongside his car and he

1147
00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:49,040
stopped and he saw the man

1148
00:41:53,270 --> 00:41:51,359
pull out a map consult the map see where

1149
00:41:54,150 --> 00:41:53,280
he was fold it up again put it in his

1150
00:41:56,069 --> 00:41:54,160
pocket

1151
00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:56,079
question everything and press the button

1152
00:41:59,030 --> 00:41:57,440
the way he went up in a

1153
00:42:00,390 --> 00:41:59,040
in the sheet of flame now that was

1154
00:42:01,990 --> 00:42:00,400
fighting the life out of anybody if they

1155
00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:02,000
didn't know what it was and the stories

1156
00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:02,400
about

1157
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:04,560
men coming from outer space would be

1158
00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:06,400
almost justified in that case if you

1159
00:42:09,990 --> 00:42:07,520
didn't know what it was

1160
00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:10,000
but there is nothing to worry about

1161
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:11,280
after all none of these things have

1162
00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:13,040
killed anybody yet or it's like i know

1163
00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:13,760
injured them

1164
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:15,040
except perhaps the brave people that are

1165
00:42:17,349 --> 00:42:16,160
taking part in them and then you

1166
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:17,359
wouldn't hear very much about that but

1167
00:42:21,270 --> 00:42:19,520
would you go so far as to encourage

1168
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:21,280
ordinary people to think these did come

1169
00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:23,280
from outer space so that the services

1170
00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:24,880
could carry on with their experimenting

1171
00:42:27,510 --> 00:42:26,400
behind this sort of smoke screen would

1172
00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:27,520
you know

1173
00:42:32,390 --> 00:42:30,640
no not a bit uh i i wouldn't know

1174
00:42:33,829 --> 00:42:32,400
that that would be deception wouldn't it

1175
00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:33,839
uh i would simply say look

1176
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:35,359
you've seen something that perhaps you

1177
00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:36,960
weren't supposed to see

1178
00:42:41,030 --> 00:42:39,280
i can assure you that there's no danger

1179
00:42:43,030 --> 00:42:41,040
from it and if you see it again

1180
00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:43,040
just remember that it's it's really in

1181
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:45,040
your own interest and in the interest of

1182
00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:46,240
this country that these things are

1183
00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:48,880
happening and

1184
00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:50,480
just go to sleep on it and don't worry

1185
00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:52,960
about it so i'm personally

1186
00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:55,920
my uh message to the people of

1187
00:42:58,870 --> 00:42:56,880
warminster is

1188
00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:58,880
don't forget that you live on the edge

1189
00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:00,000
the perimeter

1190
00:43:04,630 --> 00:43:02,319
of an experimental area where brave men

1191
00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:04,640
are doing experiments

1192
00:43:09,780 --> 00:43:08,160
in connection with all three

1193
00:43:11,190 --> 00:43:09,790
of the forces

1194
00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:11,200
[Music]

1195
00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:12,720
you're the editor of the local

1196
00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:15,200
newsletter about ufos what um a lot of

1197
00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:16,720
people do say it's the army around here

1198
00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:18,160
that are causing the warmest thing which

1199
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:19,520
we've traced back through history

1200
00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:21,280
the cases occurring before the army came

1201
00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:23,760
here and also we've got cases on record

1202
00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:25,440
of army personnel out on maneuvers

1203
00:43:27,589 --> 00:43:26,720
actually seeing things themselves that

1204
00:43:30,309 --> 00:43:27,599
they can't explain

1205
00:43:32,390 --> 00:43:30,319
what about the answer lying in the soil

1206
00:43:33,670 --> 00:43:32,400
have they examined that theory equally

1207
00:43:35,829 --> 00:43:33,680
closely

1208
00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:35,839
we asked mike hodgson from the soil

1209
00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:37,920
survey and land research centre

1210
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:39,599
to come along to france's shepherd's

1211
00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:41,680
farm in wiltshire where circles appear

1212
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:42,480
regularly

1213
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:44,960
to see what he could dig up i must say

1214
00:43:47,829 --> 00:43:46,480
that there are many features in the

1215
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:47,839
landscape which are well known to

1216
00:43:53,990 --> 00:43:50,880
archaeologists and soil scientists

1217
00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:54,000
which are based on crop marks which are

1218
00:43:58,309 --> 00:43:56,000
based on soil

1219
00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,319
and these are often archaeological round

1220
00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,319
barrows things of this kind

1221
00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:02,720
but they're all related to either

1222
00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:04,560
differences in soil nutrition

1223
00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:08,000
or in soil depth soil depth of course

1224
00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:10,079
affects the water supply to the growing

1225
00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:11,520
plant during the

1226
00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:14,000
during the summer season there's still a

1227
00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:15,920
possibility of something like that here

1228
00:44:20,710 --> 00:44:16,480
but my

1229
00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:20,720
my instinct is that perhaps there isn't

1230
00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:22,560
chemical causes have been dismissed

1231
00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:23,839
because the circles are so

1232
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:26,480
geometric but fungal infections can

1233
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:26,880
cause

1234
00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:30,000
fairy rings in grass as a true scientist

1235
00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:31,040
mike hodgson took

1236
00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:32,880
several samples before passing an

1237
00:44:36,630 --> 00:44:34,800
opinion now what i'm looking for is a

1238
00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:36,640
bit of

1239
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:48,870
it's going ever so slightly

1240
00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:50,710
what do you think causes these crop

1241
00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:52,160
circles

1242
00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:54,640
this particular crop circle i remain uh

1243
00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:55,440
agnostic

1244
00:45:01,349 --> 00:44:58,800
certainly certainly not little green men

1245
00:45:02,829 --> 00:45:01,359
um i would always be in a soil and on

1246
00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:02,839
myself i would always look for a

1247
00:45:07,589 --> 00:45:04,800
terrestrial

1248
00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:07,599
cause for this and i i'd like to stress

1249
00:45:11,589 --> 00:45:09,200
it very often

1250
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:11,599
actually even if it's a fungal disease

1251
00:45:16,630 --> 00:45:13,760
the fungal disease could be related

1252
00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:16,640
to soil france's shepherd doesn't

1253
00:45:20,309 --> 00:45:18,480
believe a word of it

1254
00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:20,319
history of this field is that my

1255
00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:21,520
family's owned it for about four

1256
00:45:25,109 --> 00:45:22,640
generations

1257
00:45:26,630 --> 00:45:25,119
since the late twenties and um we've had

1258
00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:26,640
a period of about 60 years without

1259
00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:27,040
seeing

1260
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:30,560
any circles at all and then 1983

1261
00:45:33,589 --> 00:45:31,760
rather shortage of news in the

1262
00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:33,599
newspapers and

1263
00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:36,400
a daily express reporter reported seeing

1264
00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:38,079
a circle here early one morning

1265
00:45:41,109 --> 00:45:39,359
from the top of the hill behind you

1266
00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:41,119
there and um

1267
00:45:44,550 --> 00:45:42,640
i've got a view that perhaps you might

1268
00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:44,560
have made the circle for a story

1269
00:45:47,589 --> 00:45:46,960
because next day there was a three-page

1270
00:45:49,430 --> 00:45:47,599
article

1271
00:45:50,950 --> 00:45:49,440
in the daily express which is a heck of

1272
00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:50,960
a lot of lines

1273
00:45:55,030 --> 00:45:52,720
in the national newspaper about crop

1274
00:45:55,829 --> 00:45:55,040
circles okay why do you think it's a

1275
00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:55,839
hoax

1276
00:46:00,150 --> 00:45:57,760
well because if we look into the center

1277
00:46:01,589 --> 00:46:00,160
over there you'll see that that ground

1278
00:46:03,670 --> 00:46:01,599
has been trampled down

1279
00:46:05,430 --> 00:46:03,680
much more than on the edge because i

1280
00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:05,440
reckon a group of people have linked

1281
00:46:08,230 --> 00:46:06,079
arms

1282
00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:08,240
walked around in a circle the person on

1283
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:09,839
the edge has traveled fastest than the

1284
00:46:14,309 --> 00:46:11,760
chap in the center who stood on the spot

1285
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:14,319
therefore he stood the corn down more in

1286
00:46:17,589 --> 00:46:15,200
the center

1287
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:17,599
you can clearly see this also i reckon

1288
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:18,880
it was done at night time because the

1289
00:46:21,910 --> 00:46:19,920
people didn't want to be

1290
00:46:23,349 --> 00:46:21,920
spotted because i'd be on their backs if

1291
00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:23,359
they were caught

1292
00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:25,520
and after dark probably a few pints of

1293
00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:27,200
the local 6x inside them

1294
00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:28,960
they've lurched rather into the corn

1295
00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:30,480
because the line is not

1296
00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:31,920
sharp but there's little marks where

1297
00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:33,520
people have drunkenly swaggered out of

1298
00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:35,280
line

1299
00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:37,520
we put francis shepard's theory to the

1300
00:46:40,829 --> 00:46:38,640
test

1301
00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:40,839
i'll go in first yeah stick to the tram

1302
00:46:49,670 --> 00:46:48,309
we enlisted the help of a young farmer's

1303
00:46:51,589 --> 00:46:49,680
tug-of-war team

1304
00:46:53,829 --> 00:46:51,599
would it be possible we wondered to

1305
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:53,839
create a crop circle without leaving any

1306
00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:56,240
trace of human involvement

1307
00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:58,319
they looked surprisingly practiced as

1308
00:47:01,589 --> 00:46:59,280
they made their way

1309
00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:01,599
down the track left by the sprayers to

1310
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:03,680
the spot that we'd chosen

1311
00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:05,280
they were armed with nothing more than a

1312
00:47:20,790 --> 00:47:17,510
all right let's keep this tight

1313
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:36,829
tight net keep it tight

1314
00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:38,470
is

1315
00:47:43,829 --> 00:47:40,720
i'm doing about three times the whip of

1316
00:47:55,510 --> 00:47:46,230
and he's got size 11's on it i've heard

1317
00:47:59,349 --> 00:47:57,430
it was roughly at this point that

1318
00:48:01,510 --> 00:47:59,359
serious doubts crept in

1319
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:01,520
and all thoughts of little green men

1320
00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:02,480
were replaced by

1321
00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:16,390
can you see the paper tomorrow another

1322
00:48:21,270 --> 00:48:18,880
one needs a few final touches done to it

1323
00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:21,280
sort of the manicure of the sun yes yes

1324
00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:22,640
what are you going to do to manicure it

1325
00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:24,480
then well we sort of comb it spread the

1326
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:25,599
wheat out on the ground

1327
00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:27,040
even it up make it look a lot of

1328
00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:28,480
spaceships you do look as though you've

1329
00:48:34,630 --> 00:48:29,520
done it before

1330
00:48:36,390 --> 00:48:34,640
well yeah that i just rent a circle yeah

1331
00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:36,400
seriously have you done it before well

1332
00:48:40,309 --> 00:48:38,160
that that well that would be telling

1333
00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:40,319
yeah trade secrets yes i wouldn't like

1334
00:48:43,349 --> 00:48:41,920
to say i think there'll be many farmers

1335
00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:43,359
in hampshire that might be knocking on

1336
00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:49,270
mrs taylor and andrews however took it

1337
00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:50,800
all in their stride

1338
00:48:55,190 --> 00:48:53,280
and went about examining the hope circle

1339
00:48:58,309 --> 00:48:55,200
just as meticulously as they do

1340
00:49:01,510 --> 00:48:58,319
the real thing see

1341
00:49:04,710 --> 00:49:01,520
uh busty inside here you've got

1342
00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:04,720
you see this two inch three inch gap

1343
00:49:08,470 --> 00:49:06,160
between the light of the plant and the

1344
00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:08,480
surrounding wall this gap here this is

1345
00:49:12,309 --> 00:49:09,280
something we would

1346
00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:12,319
never find because of course this is a

1347
00:49:16,150 --> 00:49:15,040
concentric flow as opposed to the

1348
00:49:18,150 --> 00:49:16,160
genuine phenomena

1349
00:49:19,510 --> 00:49:18,160
it's in fact in many respects it's too

1350
00:49:21,349 --> 00:49:19,520
perfect

1351
00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:21,359
it's too good it's circular as opposed

1352
00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:23,119
to the elliptical

1353
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:24,720
shape as well you can see that this is

1354
00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:26,240
absolutely circular

1355
00:49:31,829 --> 00:49:28,480
i mean it's very neat and it's very well

1356
00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:31,839
done but it very clearly is a hoax

1357
00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:35,200
we identify very quickly those circles

1358
00:49:37,829 --> 00:49:36,960
that are hoaxed and we have seen three

1359
00:49:40,549 --> 00:49:37,839
this year

1360
00:49:41,270 --> 00:49:40,559
that have been hoaxed uh the lie of the

1361
00:49:43,990 --> 00:49:41,280
plants

1362
00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:44,000
uh within within the genuine phenomenon

1363
00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:45,599
is entirely different

1364
00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:48,480
to anything that uh can be host and has

1365
00:49:51,990 --> 00:49:49,359
been hoaxed

1366
00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:52,000
have you ever been taken in not as yet

1367
00:49:55,190 --> 00:49:53,119
not as yet

1368
00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:55,200
but we don't set up to be taken in we

1369
00:49:59,030 --> 00:49:56,880
obviously

1370
00:50:02,470 --> 00:49:59,040
we are wanting to get on with the job

1371
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:02,480
and to break beyond this hoax nonsense

1372
00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:04,800
there is a genuine phenomenon here one

1373
00:50:10,870 --> 00:50:05,680
which now

1374
00:50:14,390 --> 00:50:13,589
but this one as they say could run and

1375
00:50:16,309 --> 00:50:14,400
run

1376
00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:16,319
no matter which theory you support

1377
00:50:20,870 --> 00:50:18,559
whether you think it's an elaborate hoax

1378
00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:20,880
a stationary whirlwind or believe in

1379
00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:22,960
colin andrews unexplained phenomenon

1380
00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,400
from outer space

1381
00:50:28,309 --> 00:50:26,640
collecting the data to support the claim

1382
00:50:30,870 --> 00:50:28,319
is full of frustration

1383
00:50:32,950 --> 00:50:30,880
it's a race against time and just when

1384
00:50:35,270 --> 00:50:32,960
you think you might be getting there

1385
00:50:37,030 --> 00:50:35,280
someone always comes along and destroys

1386
00:50:39,670 --> 00:50:37,040
the evidence

1387
00:50:41,589 --> 00:50:39,680
ken rogers is chairman of the national

1388
00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:41,599
unexplained society

1389
00:50:46,630 --> 00:50:44,640
which boasts two thousand members

1390
00:50:48,390 --> 00:50:46,640
yeah wind conditions you can understand

1391
00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:48,400
what uh uh many whirlwinds

1392
00:50:51,829 --> 00:50:50,079
farmers know what a mini world wind

1393
00:50:53,589 --> 00:50:51,839
looks like in their fields is it

1394
00:50:55,270 --> 00:50:53,599
perfectly symmetrical you only have to

1395
00:50:55,829 --> 00:50:55,280
look as i say before the television

1396
00:50:57,910 --> 00:50:55,839
pictures

1397
00:50:58,870 --> 00:50:57,920
the the perfect circle in the middle

1398
00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:58,880
followed by the four

1399
00:51:02,150 --> 00:51:00,800
outer circles outside which is typical

1400
00:51:07,589 --> 00:51:02,160
as far as we're concerned

1401
00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:09,510
but even the skeptics were hard put to

1402
00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,200
dismiss some of the reports

1403
00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:13,200
in the village of steeple ashton dozens

1404
00:51:16,230 --> 00:51:15,119
experienced an encounter of the most

1405
00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:16,240
peculiar kind

1406
00:51:19,030 --> 00:51:17,760
the chapter in the blue sweater now you

1407
00:51:20,390 --> 00:51:19,040
you've got a good view of it what do you

1408
00:51:27,109 --> 00:51:20,400
think it was

1409
00:51:28,230 --> 00:51:27,119
that's crazy yep why do you think that

1410
00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:28,240
in all seriousness

1411
00:51:33,349 --> 00:51:30,400
well i hope for the middle but it was

1412
00:51:35,190 --> 00:51:33,359
sort of hard from the edge outside

1413
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:35,200
the clouds couldn't pass through the

1414
00:51:37,990 --> 00:51:36,559
outside of it could go through the

1415
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:38,000
middle though

1416
00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:39,200
have you ever seen anything like it

1417
00:51:44,230 --> 00:51:41,920
before no not nothing like that

1418
00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:44,240
and how long were you able to see it i

1419
00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,359
was up in the window so

1420
00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:48,160
about three minutes three minutes was it

1421
00:51:51,030 --> 00:51:49,359
sort of hovering or

1422
00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:51,040
no it's just going around like a whale

1423
00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:52,800
just going over

1424
00:51:56,950 --> 00:51:54,640
you got a good view of it describe it to

1425
00:51:58,950 --> 00:51:56,960
me well sort of um black

1426
00:52:00,150 --> 00:51:58,960
blackish gray you were in going across

1427
00:52:01,829 --> 00:52:00,160
the sky

1428
00:52:03,430 --> 00:52:01,839
and it was dark on one side and in the

1429
00:52:03,750 --> 00:52:03,440
bottom had a sort of little line through

1430
00:52:08,790 --> 00:52:03,760
it

1431
00:52:10,790 --> 00:52:08,800
miss green did you see that the phantom

1432
00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:10,800
object yourself i saw it yes

1433
00:52:14,230 --> 00:52:12,480
how would you describe it uh very much

1434
00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:14,240
as the children did as a it appeared to

1435
00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:16,240
be a smoke crane

1436
00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:18,000
but you know that's the best way that i

1437
00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:20,240
can describe it as a smoke thing

1438
00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:22,079
any theories as to what are no theories

1439
00:52:25,589 --> 00:52:24,319
at all none at all

1440
00:52:27,990 --> 00:52:25,599
i mean obviously people are going to

1441
00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:28,000
speculate men from mars or what have you

1442
00:52:30,790 --> 00:52:28,640
i mean

1443
00:52:32,230 --> 00:52:30,800
the only thing i can say really is i'm

1444
00:52:32,710 --> 00:52:32,240
glad there were a lot of other people

1445
00:52:36,150 --> 00:52:32,720
saw it

1446
00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:36,160
at the same time as i do down in the

1447
00:52:39,190 --> 00:52:38,240
town at least one group of people were

1448
00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:39,200
over the moon

1449
00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:41,599
the traders an invasion of sorts had

1450
00:52:45,030 --> 00:52:42,720
certainly arrived

1451
00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:45,040
but it was of a very different kind not

1452
00:52:48,630 --> 00:52:46,000
little green men

1453
00:52:50,549 --> 00:52:48,640
but tourists thousands of them if the

1454
00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:50,559
war minster thing wasn't exactly a put

1455
00:52:53,109 --> 00:52:51,200
up job

1456
00:52:54,790 --> 00:52:53,119
at least the town's shrewd businessmen

1457
00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:54,800
knew a good thing when they saw it

1458
00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:56,800
it did wonders for trade i'm sure the

1459
00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:57,920
traders did some

1460
00:53:01,190 --> 00:52:59,760
did some business i'm sure it is because

1461
00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:01,200
there were hundreds of people coming

1462
00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:07,589
yes this is enough showing all the 11

1463
00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:09,119
ley lines that run through

1464
00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:11,920
indeed ufos were tailor-made for tourism

1465
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:14,079
because it is unique in the world for

1466
00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:16,480
this number of ley lines crossing this

1467
00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:18,240
is the original photograph that a

1468
00:53:20,309 --> 00:53:20,000
gentleman actually sent us three weeks

1469
00:53:24,309 --> 00:53:20,319
ago

1470
00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:24,319
to see the crossing

1471
00:53:27,990 --> 00:53:26,640
interest became so great one couple even

1472
00:53:30,390 --> 00:53:28,000
set up a ufo bed and

1473
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:30,400
breakfast hotel marmalade and martians

1474
00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:32,319
on the menu in the mornings

1475
00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:34,640
the idea was an immediate success it

1476
00:53:38,069 --> 00:53:36,640
could only have happened in warminster

1477
00:53:42,710 --> 00:53:38,079
and of course the americans in

1478
00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:42,720
particular loved it

1479
00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:44,480
well because there was a tremendous need

1480
00:53:48,069 --> 00:53:46,319
in wall minster and we'd

1481
00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:48,079
we'd heard from arthur shuttlewood with

1482
00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:49,520
about people knocking on his door all

1483
00:53:52,549 --> 00:53:50,960
hours of the day and night all the year

1484
00:53:54,790 --> 00:53:52,559
round not just the summer

1485
00:53:56,710 --> 00:53:54,800
um wanting to know about the hills what

1486
00:53:57,349 --> 00:53:56,720
he's seen could he take them up on the

1487
00:53:59,589 --> 00:53:57,359
hills

1488
00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:59,599
where can they stay the night where the

1489
00:54:03,670 --> 00:54:01,440
army is and all this sort of thing

1490
00:54:05,910 --> 00:54:03,680
but why do you believe so strongly that

1491
00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:05,920
there are ufos from another planet

1492
00:54:09,430 --> 00:54:08,160
i've seen quite a few of them some of

1493
00:54:12,870 --> 00:54:09,440
them very close up

1494
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:12,880
such as in north wales i've seen what i

1495
00:54:16,549 --> 00:54:14,480
thought was a mother ship about the size

1496
00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:16,559
of a jumbo jet without wings

1497
00:54:21,349 --> 00:54:19,599
about as close as 300 yards

1498
00:54:22,790 --> 00:54:21,359
coming up a valley completely

1499
00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:22,800
soundlessly

1500
00:54:27,109 --> 00:54:25,359
very large very silvery and beautiful

1501
00:54:29,349 --> 00:54:27,119
and it stopped and did a complete right

1502
00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:29,359
turn into the side of the mountain

1503
00:54:35,430 --> 00:54:32,400
and how close was this this was about

1504
00:54:37,430 --> 00:54:35,440
300 feet above a lake and about 300

1505
00:54:39,030 --> 00:54:37,440
yards away and it was midday with no

1506
00:54:41,750 --> 00:54:39,040
clouds or anything

1507
00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:41,760
there's got to be other life than this

1508
00:54:47,670 --> 00:54:43,680
tiny little planet

1509
00:54:49,030 --> 00:54:47,680
and um we saw when we came on holiday to

1510
00:54:51,270 --> 00:54:49,040
warminster we saw one

1511
00:54:52,549 --> 00:54:51,280
zigzagging over the top of us it had a

1512
00:54:59,510 --> 00:54:52,559
sort of bow wave

1513
00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:01,270
the little market town stayed in the

1514
00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:03,200
limelight for more than a decade

1515
00:55:06,789 --> 00:55:05,200
it somehow became accepted as a place

1516
00:55:12,470 --> 00:55:06,799
where the unusual was

1517
00:55:18,829 --> 00:55:14,390
the very name developed a ring which in

1518
00:55:18,839 --> 00:55:22,790
warminster

1519
00:55:28,870 --> 00:55:26,150
[Music]

1520
00:55:30,390 --> 00:55:28,880
but why here it's true the town stands

1521
00:55:32,829 --> 00:55:30,400
on the edge of salisbury plain a

1522
00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:32,839
mysterious enough place at the best of

1523
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:34,720
times

1524
00:55:41,190 --> 00:55:37,760
shuttlewood had his own theory well

1525
00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:41,200
we've often pondered why but it could be

1526
00:55:45,990 --> 00:55:42,640
that it lies

1527
00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:46,000
on the direct area route between

1528
00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:48,720
glastonbury a place of mystery as you

1529
00:55:53,030 --> 00:55:49,520
know

1530
00:55:53,829 --> 00:55:53,040
to to our west and stonehenge to our

1531
00:55:57,349 --> 00:55:53,839
east

1532
00:55:58,230 --> 00:55:57,359
on that direct area line is where the

1533
00:56:04,549 --> 00:55:58,240
majority

1534
00:56:08,069 --> 00:56:06,150
that's amazing the number of books has

1535
00:56:09,270 --> 00:56:08,079
been published on it uh the walmart's

1536
00:56:12,309 --> 00:56:09,280
the mystery

1537
00:56:13,349 --> 00:56:12,319
more ufos over warminster ufos geese in

1538
00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:13,359
the new age

1539
00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:15,119
warnings from flying friends all just

1540
00:56:18,470 --> 00:56:16,559
about warminster

1541
00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:18,480
um most of the ufo books you pick up now

1542
00:56:21,750 --> 00:56:20,720
in america you look at the index pages

1543
00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:21,760
and they've all got chapters about

1544
00:56:24,549 --> 00:56:22,960
walmart's doing

1545
00:56:26,150 --> 00:56:24,559
it's incredible amount of interest

1546
00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:26,160
outside the town that's been created by

1547
00:56:29,589 --> 00:56:26,640
this

1548
00:56:31,349 --> 00:56:29,599
strange ufo phenomenon uh it wasn't a

1549
00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:31,359
publicity stunt it wasn't a hoax you

1550
00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:33,200
were quite genuine and what do you think

1551
00:56:36,870 --> 00:56:35,520
they've been one or two hoaxes yes over

1552
00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:36,880
the years people sent out lots of

1553
00:56:39,030 --> 00:56:38,000
balloons and so on they haven't really

1554
00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:39,040
sort of fooled us

1555
00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:41,200
and you look back in history in the

1556
00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:42,880
1920s the local head

1557
00:56:46,230 --> 00:56:45,119
postmaster collected folklore and

1558
00:56:47,829 --> 00:56:46,240
legends of the area

1559
00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:47,839
and strange stories about ghosts and

1560
00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:48,880
poltergeists and so on because they

1561
00:56:51,270 --> 00:56:50,000
didn't know about ufos then

1562
00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:51,280
because they're a modern technology

1563
00:56:56,390 --> 00:56:53,440
thing youtubers probably are the ghosts

1564
00:56:58,630 --> 00:56:56,400
of modern technology

1565
00:56:59,829 --> 00:56:58,640
well yes i think there is something but

1566
00:57:02,710 --> 00:56:59,839
what i don't know

1567
00:57:03,990 --> 00:57:02,720
do you remember the ufos in space yes

1568
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:04,000
did you believe in it

1569
00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:06,160
um well i think there might be something

1570
00:57:10,870 --> 00:57:07,760
funny about this guy i

1571
00:57:13,750 --> 00:57:10,880
think there's so much in there

1572
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:13,760
that you can't really tell you sound as

1573
00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:15,680
if you might just believe in them

1574
00:57:19,670 --> 00:57:17,440
well i don't know there might be

1575
00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:19,680
something in but i never found anything

1576
00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,720
not myself personally so you don't

1577
00:57:27,589 --> 00:57:24,559
really think they came from outer space

1578
00:57:28,470 --> 00:57:27,599
oh no no not yet i think they might

1579
00:57:31,430 --> 00:57:28,480
later on but

1580
00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:31,440
not yet are they going to come back one

1581
00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,240
day

1582
00:57:35,990 --> 00:57:34,400
well history shows but possibly that

1583
00:57:37,589 --> 00:57:36,000
they did come back in the

1584
00:57:39,589 --> 00:57:37,599
in the 60s because as i said in the

1585
00:57:40,710 --> 00:57:39,599
1920s there was strange phenomenon

1586
00:57:42,710 --> 00:57:40,720
and in a book called the history of

1587
00:57:43,990 --> 00:57:42,720
mormons to written 115 years ago there's

1588
00:57:44,470 --> 00:57:44,000
a whole chapter about phenomena in the

1589
00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:44,480
town

1590
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:46,559
so it may well be a recurring thing it's

1591
00:57:49,990 --> 00:57:48,480
just that it happened in a time when we

1592
00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:50,000
were into spaceships

1593
00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:52,319
um traveling to the moon and so on that

1594
00:57:57,270 --> 00:57:55,040
we've used this ufo

1595
00:57:58,710 --> 00:57:57,280
label we've termed it the spaceships

1596
00:57:59,990 --> 00:57:58,720
because we're living in the space age

1597
00:58:02,230 --> 00:58:00,000
it's probably possibly a phenomenon

1598
00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:02,240
that's part of this town and always has

1599
00:58:05,750 --> 00:58:02,960
been

1600
00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:05,760
that reoccurs and depending on the time

1601
00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:06,640
scale

1602
00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:08,160
like once it was called angels and

1603
00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:10,240
demons and things falling out of the sky

1604
00:58:13,750 --> 00:58:12,720
and now we turn them as um as flying

1605
00:58:15,190 --> 00:58:13,760
saucers

1606
00:58:17,109 --> 00:58:15,200
it must have been about eight years or

1607
00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:17,119
more probably more

1608
00:58:21,109 --> 00:58:20,240
we're going towards uh westby to pick my

1609
00:58:22,870 --> 00:58:21,119
son up

1610
00:58:24,870 --> 00:58:22,880
from woman still put my son coming on a

1611
00:58:27,589 --> 00:58:24,880
train i had my other son with me

1612
00:58:29,670 --> 00:58:27,599
and it was pelting down with rain and we

1613
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:29,680
saw this thing coming across the sky

1614
00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:33,520
like a cigar that had been reported and

1615
00:58:36,789 --> 00:58:35,200
we didn't believe anything probably till

1616
00:58:39,510 --> 00:58:36,799
the next day and

1617
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:39,520
uh it was reported in the press that

1618
00:58:44,950 --> 00:58:40,960
something was sighted

1619
00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:44,960
on the way from um bradford on 8th

1620
00:58:48,630 --> 00:58:46,720
towards broome and this was right in the

1621
00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:48,640
flight so i mean what could you

1622
00:58:51,750 --> 00:58:50,160
think of it whether it was just a cost

1623
00:58:53,670 --> 00:58:51,760
of living going up quicker than

1624
00:58:55,510 --> 00:58:53,680
something you know there's nothing we

1625
00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:55,520
could decide on but

1626
00:58:59,190 --> 00:58:57,359
people really do believe there is

1627
00:59:02,230 --> 00:58:59,200
something

1628
00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:02,240
we have sent voyages into space

1629
00:59:06,789 --> 00:59:04,319
why can't other baby people be sending

1630
00:59:08,710 --> 00:59:06,799
them to us no on that basis

1631
00:59:10,950 --> 00:59:08,720
uh i think they could very well be

1632
00:59:12,309 --> 00:59:10,960
something i'm not personally convinced

1633
00:59:15,270 --> 00:59:12,319
but there we are

1634
00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:15,280
they were skeptical when uh certain

1635
00:59:22,230 --> 00:59:18,000
people postulated that this earth planet

1636
00:59:24,549 --> 00:59:22,240
was round they were proved wrong

1637
00:59:26,710 --> 00:59:24,559
the evidence shows the weight of

1638
00:59:28,230 --> 00:59:26,720
evidence the thousand files of it

1639
00:59:30,710 --> 00:59:28,240
but something definitely strange

1640
00:59:32,789 --> 00:59:30,720
happened in this town a few people

1641
00:59:34,230 --> 00:59:32,799
just really have come to me or

1642
00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:34,240
approached me

1643
00:59:41,670 --> 00:59:38,160
but not in any sense of worry i have had

1644
00:59:43,109 --> 00:59:41,680
one man who came to ask me what i

1645
00:59:46,150 --> 00:59:43,119
thought of the thing

1646
00:59:47,430 --> 00:59:46,160
theologically my answer to him was that

1647
00:59:50,309 --> 00:59:47,440
whether or not

1648
00:59:52,549 --> 00:59:50,319
the thing was a real thing it did not

1649
00:59:56,870 --> 00:59:52,559
seem to me to be relevant

1650
00:59:58,230 --> 00:59:56,880
to to the end of the judgment

1651
01:00:00,710 --> 00:59:58,240
nor that it had any religious

1652
01:00:02,549 --> 01:00:00,720
significance did you feel inclined to

1653
01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:02,559
pooh-pooh what he was saying or did you

1654
01:00:06,150 --> 01:00:04,640
take it dead seriously

1655
01:00:08,309 --> 01:00:06,160
i took it seriously in the sense that he

1656
01:00:11,349 --> 01:00:08,319
himself was dead serious

1657
01:00:13,750 --> 01:00:11,359
and uh to that extent i i had respect

1658
01:00:17,589 --> 01:00:13,760
for what he said

1659
01:00:20,630 --> 01:00:17,599
but this attitude is one which

1660
01:00:24,069 --> 01:00:20,640
i find personally very difficult to

1661
01:00:25,270 --> 01:00:24,079
cotton on to because i don't think that

1662
01:00:27,510 --> 01:00:25,280
speaking theologically

1663
01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:27,520
the then god works in these ways

1664
01:00:31,670 --> 01:00:29,760
whenever i come to warminster now

1665
01:00:33,270 --> 01:00:31,680
i'm always reminded of an american

1666
01:00:35,430 --> 01:00:33,280
television film about

1667
01:00:37,990 --> 01:00:35,440
a little town in the states where the

1668
01:00:40,950 --> 01:00:38,000
people were perfectly normal by day

1669
01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:40,960
but come the night they became zombies

1670
01:00:45,510 --> 01:00:42,079
taken over by

1671
01:00:47,109 --> 01:00:45,520
aliens from outer space well warminster

1672
01:00:49,510 --> 01:00:47,119
folks certainly look as if they're

1673
01:00:52,069 --> 01:00:49,520
controlling their own lives

1674
01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:52,079
ufos take the very colored shapes of

1675
01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:53,839
glowing spheres

1676
01:00:58,390 --> 01:00:56,480
luminous pear drops ovular jewels that

1677
01:01:00,870 --> 01:00:58,400
range from blood red rubies

1678
01:01:02,549 --> 01:01:00,880
to winking diamonds of flashing lights

1679
01:01:05,349 --> 01:01:02,559
from lustrous daytime

1680
01:01:07,990 --> 01:01:05,359
pearls of shimmering surface to fiery

1681
01:01:11,349 --> 01:01:08,000
emeralds separate the nocturnal heavens

1682
01:01:13,910 --> 01:01:11,359
with fluorescent brilliance wow

1683
01:01:15,270 --> 01:01:13,920
but people were seeing or hearing

1684
01:01:17,510 --> 01:01:15,280
strange things

1685
01:01:18,870 --> 01:01:17,520
i just suddenly said um there's a light

1686
01:01:20,069 --> 01:01:18,880
up in the sky

1687
01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:20,079
he rushed out to get his little

1688
01:01:25,349 --> 01:01:22,640
telescope so we all had a glance and

1689
01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:25,359
sure enough there was a shining object

1690
01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:29,040
well having investigated this phenomenon

1691
01:01:35,430 --> 01:01:32,400
for the past three or four years my

1692
01:01:38,230 --> 01:01:35,440
principal conclusion is that

1693
01:01:39,990 --> 01:01:38,240
it is due to an object coming into our

1694
01:01:42,390 --> 01:01:40,000
atmosphere from outer space it would

1695
01:01:42,950 --> 01:01:42,400
like a cigar like a big cigar just going

1696
01:01:46,710 --> 01:01:42,960
up

1697
01:01:50,230 --> 01:01:48,630
well i got two daughters i swear on

1698
01:01:52,870 --> 01:01:50,240
their on their lives

1699
01:01:53,670 --> 01:01:52,880
it would seem that e.t or whoever else

1700
01:01:56,150 --> 01:01:53,680
was involved

1701
01:01:57,510 --> 01:01:56,160
has gone home there are those who are

1702
01:01:59,670 --> 01:01:57,520
convinced it was the military

1703
01:02:02,150 --> 01:01:59,680
testing devices on salisbury playing

1704
01:02:03,510 --> 01:02:02,160
just a hand grenade's throw from cradle

1705
01:02:06,150 --> 01:02:03,520
hill

1706
01:02:07,349 --> 01:02:06,160
this is how one writer described the

1707
01:02:08,870 --> 01:02:07,359
ufos

1708
01:02:10,549 --> 01:02:08,880
seen through a telescope at night a

1709
01:02:13,510 --> 01:02:10,559
hovering spacecraft is

1710
01:02:14,390 --> 01:02:13,520
a glorious firefly of radiating color

1711
01:02:16,870 --> 01:02:14,400
changes

1712
01:02:18,870 --> 01:02:16,880
pulsating from center to outward edges

1713
01:02:22,069 --> 01:02:18,880
in a continuous stream of patterns

1714
01:02:24,710 --> 01:02:22,079
white amber green and red

1715
01:02:25,910 --> 01:02:24,720
well cynics like me might say just like

1716
01:02:28,950 --> 01:02:25,920
the flashing lights

1717
01:02:32,829 --> 01:02:28,960
of a military helicopter oh well

1718
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:32,839
all part of warminster's history or is

1719
01:02:39,510 --> 01:02:34,090
it

1720
01:02:41,910 --> 01:02:39,520
[Music]

1721
01:02:43,109 --> 01:02:41,920
mr mrs payne saw the thing late one

1722
01:02:45,349 --> 01:02:43,119
night when they were returning to

1723
01:02:47,910 --> 01:02:45,359
warminster on mr payne's motorbike

1724
01:02:48,549 --> 01:02:47,920
just before they were married well we

1725
01:02:51,430 --> 01:02:48,559
saw these

1726
01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:51,440
massive sort of discs appear from a

1727
01:02:57,109 --> 01:02:53,760
clamp of trees

1728
01:02:57,910 --> 01:02:57,119
and i said to my he was my boyfriend

1729
01:03:01,190 --> 01:02:57,920
then

1730
01:03:02,710 --> 01:03:01,200
good heavens what on earth is that and

1731
01:03:05,510 --> 01:03:02,720
of course the bike had broken down you

1732
01:03:07,270 --> 01:03:05,520
say and he's arriving no idea

1733
01:03:09,430 --> 01:03:07,280
so we stood there looking at it you know

1734
01:03:12,150 --> 01:03:09,440
bigger and bigger and came towards us

1735
01:03:14,309 --> 01:03:12,160
which absolutely just struck down we

1736
01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:14,319
didn't know what it was

1737
01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:16,640
a few miles outside warminster is the

1738
01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:19,200
elizabethan mansion of longleat

1739
01:03:23,430 --> 01:03:21,280
nigel minge the son of lord wayne as

1740
01:03:24,470 --> 01:03:23,440
butler describes the thing as it came

1741
01:03:27,589 --> 01:03:24,480
his way

1742
01:03:29,589 --> 01:03:27,599
well i was out one night and

1743
01:03:30,950 --> 01:03:29,599
a friend who i know who lives just

1744
01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:30,960
across the road

1745
01:03:35,829 --> 01:03:33,119
he said he'd seen it i didn't believe

1746
01:03:37,510 --> 01:03:35,839
him but uh he told me to come out so i

1747
01:03:39,430 --> 01:03:37,520
went out with him and we walked around

1748
01:03:41,589 --> 01:03:39,440
for about half an hour

1749
01:03:43,349 --> 01:03:41,599
and then we were sort of looking around

1750
01:03:45,430 --> 01:03:43,359
the sky the whole time

1751
01:03:46,950 --> 01:03:45,440
hoping to see it we were just on the

1752
01:03:49,029 --> 01:03:46,960
verge of coming in

1753
01:03:50,789 --> 01:03:49,039
when we saw it and it went right across

1754
01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:50,799
the horizon

1755
01:03:54,710 --> 01:03:53,200
yes where did it go exactly well if i

1756
01:03:57,670 --> 01:03:54,720
can show you just out here

1757
01:03:59,109 --> 01:03:57,680
it appeared from behind this tree i went

1758
01:04:00,390 --> 01:03:59,119
right over the sky and disappeared just

1759
01:04:01,670 --> 01:04:00,400
before it got to that tree

1760
01:04:03,430 --> 01:04:01,680
and what did you feel like when you saw

1761
01:04:05,349 --> 01:04:03,440
it well i was surprised not

1762
01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:05,359
shocked but i always had an open mind

1763
01:04:10,069 --> 01:04:08,559
about it but now i believe in it

1764
01:04:11,990 --> 01:04:10,079
how many other war means to people

1765
01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:12,000
believe in it or perhaps we ought to

1766
01:04:15,589 --> 01:04:13,839
say how many warmings to people are

1767
01:04:16,150 --> 01:04:15,599
willing to confess that they believe in

1768
01:04:18,069 --> 01:04:16,160
it

1769
01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:18,079
so far as we can judge there seem to be

1770
01:04:21,829 --> 01:04:20,000
believers disbelievers

1771
01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:21,839
and don't knows in about equal

1772
01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:23,280
proportions

1773
01:04:27,270 --> 01:04:24,960
and quite a number of people in each

1774
01:04:29,029 --> 01:04:27,280
category appear to be more than a little

1775
01:04:31,029 --> 01:04:29,039
worried about the whole business

1776
01:04:32,950 --> 01:04:31,039
the story ricocheted round the world for

1777
01:04:35,430 --> 01:04:32,960
example after the um

1778
01:04:37,510 --> 01:04:35,440
first big sighting of the aerial cigar

1779
01:04:39,190 --> 01:04:37,520
which was to the south there

1780
01:04:41,430 --> 01:04:39,200
and that was by the vicar and his family

1781
01:04:42,309 --> 01:04:41,440
of hate spree 17 young people at

1782
01:04:44,710 --> 01:04:42,319
warminster

1783
01:04:46,470 --> 01:04:44,720
the hospital physiotherapist miss long

1784
01:04:48,870 --> 01:04:46,480
the horlocks who described

1785
01:04:49,910 --> 01:04:48,880
two flaming red pokers which is rather

1786
01:04:51,829 --> 01:04:49,920
graphic of course

1787
01:04:53,029 --> 01:04:51,839
but i could see what they meant having

1788
01:04:55,109 --> 01:04:53,039
seen the thing myself

1789
01:04:57,270 --> 01:04:55,119
now i think i can see what they meant by

1790
01:05:00,549 --> 01:04:57,280
that description now would you tell us

1791
01:05:02,549 --> 01:05:00,559
exactly what you did see well i saw

1792
01:05:03,589 --> 01:05:02,559
this will always be indelible on my mind

1793
01:05:07,029 --> 01:05:03,599
because um

1794
01:05:08,069 --> 01:05:07,039
it was 3 42 p.m on the last tuesday that

1795
01:05:10,870 --> 01:05:08,079
september the 28th

1796
01:05:12,069 --> 01:05:10,880
last tuesday in september and i was

1797
01:05:14,950 --> 01:05:12,079
going upstairs

1798
01:05:16,390 --> 01:05:14,960
we live in rather high up flat over

1799
01:05:18,150 --> 01:05:16,400
monumental masons

1800
01:05:19,510 --> 01:05:18,160
they call us death row incidentally

1801
01:05:21,349 --> 01:05:19,520
because we have the hospital

1802
01:05:23,430 --> 01:05:21,359
doctors undertaker and then we're the

1803
01:05:25,910 --> 01:05:23,440
monumental masons next door

1804
01:05:27,750 --> 01:05:25,920
but apart from that macabre observation

1805
01:05:28,710 --> 01:05:27,760
um i went upstairs and i was completing

1806
01:05:30,789 --> 01:05:28,720
a story

1807
01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:30,799
for a magazine which is coming out in

1808
01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:31,760
april on

1809
01:05:37,349 --> 01:05:34,640
a woman lion tamer who can also tame all

1810
01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:37,359
sorts of jungle cats in the same cage

1811
01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:39,680
mary chipperfield you probably had her

1812
01:05:43,109 --> 01:05:41,760
and i went up for my notes but my

1813
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:43,119
attention was arrested

1814
01:05:48,950 --> 01:05:47,119
by this huge cigar shape in the sky

1815
01:05:50,870 --> 01:05:48,960
now had i normally been walking

1816
01:05:52,630 --> 01:05:50,880
underneath that i'm sure it would have

1817
01:05:56,069 --> 01:05:52,640
assumed the proportions of nothing

1818
01:05:57,670 --> 01:05:56,079
but a dense white cloud but from the

1819
01:05:58,710 --> 01:05:57,680
angle of vision that i had from the top

1820
01:06:02,230 --> 01:05:58,720
of our house

1821
01:06:02,950 --> 01:06:02,240
i could see a peculiar hump a yellow or

1822
01:06:05,670 --> 01:06:02,960
an amber

1823
01:06:07,349 --> 01:06:05,680
burnished protrusion from the top and

1824
01:06:08,230 --> 01:06:07,359
i'd never seen anything like this in all

1825
01:06:10,470 --> 01:06:08,240
my life

1826
01:06:11,589 --> 01:06:10,480
and it was nine months after the this

1827
01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:11,599
thing started

1828
01:06:15,109 --> 01:06:13,440
and i i honestly don't think i've been

1829
01:06:16,549 --> 01:06:15,119
conditioned to all that extent

1830
01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:16,559
although i've lived in the center or the

1831
01:06:21,109 --> 01:06:18,480
vortex of this mystery

1832
01:06:22,549 --> 01:06:21,119
let's face it it's a mystery but i

1833
01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:22,559
wasn't convinced

1834
01:06:26,150 --> 01:06:24,960
even uh in spite of the the high caliber

1835
01:06:27,190 --> 01:06:26,160
of witnesses i wasn't convinced that

1836
01:06:30,150 --> 01:06:27,200
this thing existed

1837
01:06:31,589 --> 01:06:30,160
but i saw this with my own eyes i dashed

1838
01:06:33,589 --> 01:06:31,599
straight away for a camera

1839
01:06:35,510 --> 01:06:33,599
i got the camera lined up and the

1840
01:06:38,549 --> 01:06:35,520
setting was was about eight it's a

1841
01:06:40,870 --> 01:06:38,559
beautiful clear afternoon

1842
01:06:41,589 --> 01:06:40,880
out of the window this thing came along

1843
01:06:45,190 --> 01:06:41,599
over

1844
01:06:48,710 --> 01:06:45,200
west to southeast

1845
01:06:51,270 --> 01:06:48,720
gliding along a gentle giant in the sky

1846
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:51,280
um i trained my camera on it and i felt

1847
01:06:54,710 --> 01:06:52,000
the camera

1848
01:06:55,349 --> 01:06:54,720
jumping about in my hands that was the

1849
01:06:58,710 --> 01:06:55,359
first

1850
01:07:01,270 --> 01:06:58,720
unusual aspect it didn't frighten me

1851
01:07:01,990 --> 01:07:01,280
but i felt like sharp prickling knee

1852
01:07:04,789 --> 01:07:02,000
needles

1853
01:07:06,390 --> 01:07:04,799
down that side of the hand the wrist

1854
01:07:08,230 --> 01:07:06,400
that side of the face

1855
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:08,240
and my eye watered for two months

1856
01:07:12,789 --> 01:07:09,760
afterwards on that side

1857
01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:12,799
that was the exposed side to this thing

1858
01:07:17,270 --> 01:07:14,720
now that proved to me that whatever was

1859
01:07:20,230 --> 01:07:17,280
on board or whoever was on board

1860
01:07:21,190 --> 01:07:20,240
could see me could see this apparatus of

1861
01:07:23,910 --> 01:07:21,200
mine

1862
01:07:26,549 --> 01:07:23,920
it it threw out some concentrated force

1863
01:07:29,029 --> 01:07:26,559
field i'm quite serious about this

1864
01:07:29,670 --> 01:07:29,039
which deliberately was a deliberate

1865
01:07:32,309 --> 01:07:29,680
intent of

1866
01:07:33,430 --> 01:07:32,319
gumming up the camera and of course they

1867
01:07:36,230 --> 01:07:33,440
succeeded because

1868
01:07:38,789 --> 01:07:36,240
nothing developed from 25 feet of film

1869
01:07:40,630 --> 01:07:38,799
except an 8 feet portion

1870
01:07:43,029 --> 01:07:40,640
burnt right through that's all i had on

1871
01:07:45,270 --> 01:07:43,039
my camera if they're trying to make

1872
01:07:47,190 --> 01:07:45,280
a major impact one would think they

1873
01:07:48,549 --> 01:07:47,200
wanted all the possible publicity why

1874
01:07:49,910 --> 01:07:48,559
should they want then to gum up the

1875
01:07:52,470 --> 01:07:49,920
camera

1876
01:07:53,029 --> 01:07:52,480
well i think uh the reason that struck

1877
01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:53,039
me

1878
01:07:57,990 --> 01:07:56,559
stopped i didn't didn't notice that

1879
01:08:00,549 --> 01:07:58,000
until afterwards

1880
01:08:01,910 --> 01:08:00,559
um i think that i don't think that

1881
01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:01,920
they're so worried perhaps about

1882
01:08:05,670 --> 01:08:02,960
photography

1883
01:08:06,870 --> 01:08:05,680
but if they're thousands of years

1884
01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:06,880
advanced

1885
01:08:11,589 --> 01:08:09,760
from you know over us and they've

1886
01:08:14,789 --> 01:08:11,599
learned perhaps thousands of years ago

1887
01:08:17,030 --> 01:08:14,799
to outlaw war and you notice that the

1888
01:08:18,309 --> 01:08:17,040
heaviest sightings of these people on

1889
01:08:21,349 --> 01:08:18,319
this earth are just

1890
01:08:22,870 --> 01:08:21,359
preceding a world war or some nuclear

1891
01:08:25,990 --> 01:08:22,880
experimentation

1892
01:08:28,709 --> 01:08:26,000
some danger threshold shall we say

1893
01:08:29,590 --> 01:08:28,719
uh if that's the case and they saw the

1894
01:08:31,829 --> 01:08:29,600
camera there

1895
01:08:33,030 --> 01:08:31,839
was to prevent them being at no more

1896
01:08:35,829 --> 01:08:33,040
than half a mile up

1897
01:08:36,630 --> 01:08:35,839
at that time i'm sure thinking

1898
01:08:38,470 --> 01:08:36,640
automatically

1899
01:08:40,070 --> 01:08:38,480
here's one of those crazy earth men and

1900
01:08:43,030 --> 01:08:40,080
he's got a gun on us

1901
01:08:43,510 --> 01:08:43,040
i think that that's it's a fear uh that

1902
01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:43,520
they

1903
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:45,600
have that i might have opened up on them

1904
01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:46,799
you know with a machine gun

1905
01:08:50,229 --> 01:08:49,520
for all they knew i think that uh that's

1906
01:08:52,550 --> 01:08:50,239
why they

1907
01:08:54,309 --> 01:08:52,560
dumbed up there's no shortage of people

1908
01:08:57,030 --> 01:08:54,319
who've seen peculiar sights

1909
01:08:58,950 --> 01:08:57,040
and heard peculiar signs mrs heads got

1910
01:09:01,749 --> 01:08:58,960
the most vivid recollections

1911
01:09:02,229 --> 01:09:01,759
i was broke up really enemy swat sleep i

1912
01:09:04,829 --> 01:09:02,239
had

1913
01:09:06,550 --> 01:09:04,839
by this noise first of all it was like

1914
01:09:09,669 --> 01:09:06,560
hail

1915
01:09:11,990 --> 01:09:09,679
and then it got nearer onto the roof

1916
01:09:14,070 --> 01:09:12,000
and it was like a lot of cats scratching

1917
01:09:15,510 --> 01:09:14,080
or like an aerial scratching a bench you

1918
01:09:18,149 --> 01:09:15,520
know up there

1919
01:09:20,390 --> 01:09:18,159
and then i thought we said well on earth

1920
01:09:23,189 --> 01:09:20,400
is that

1921
01:09:24,550 --> 01:09:23,199
i got i i left in bed for quite a while

1922
01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:24,560
and i got quite hot

1923
01:09:29,110 --> 01:09:27,600
i got panicky you know so i did venture

1924
01:09:31,269 --> 01:09:29,120
and i paid a bed

1925
01:09:32,309 --> 01:09:31,279
and i looked over the window and there

1926
01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:32,319
wasn't a drop of

1927
01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:34,560
rain it was all dry everything was as

1928
01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:36,560
dry as a bone

1929
01:09:41,110 --> 01:09:39,359
but after that went over i heard a

1930
01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:41,120
whimpering noise

1931
01:09:45,269 --> 01:09:44,239
and like someone going that was a noise

1932
01:09:48,070 --> 01:09:45,279
it was

1933
01:09:49,669 --> 01:09:48,080
and i thought whatever is it and i sat

1934
01:09:51,110 --> 01:09:49,679
on the side of the bed and pushed jeans

1935
01:09:51,990 --> 01:09:51,120
in with me and she said whatever it's

1936
01:09:53,669 --> 01:09:52,000
not even you

1937
01:09:55,430 --> 01:09:53,679
i said do you hear that noise she said

1938
01:09:56,790 --> 01:09:55,440
no nothing don't wake me up she went to

1939
01:09:58,790 --> 01:09:56,800
sleep again

1940
01:10:01,030 --> 01:09:58,800
so the dog downstairs she didn't bark

1941
01:10:04,130 --> 01:10:01,040
but she was making that roughing noise

1942
01:10:05,270 --> 01:10:04,140
you know looks like they do and

1943
01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:05,280
[Music]

1944
01:10:09,110 --> 01:10:08,080
afterwards when i turned over on my side

1945
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:09,120
and i got into bed

1946
01:10:14,470 --> 01:10:12,080
it looked as though there was a light

1947
01:10:15,750 --> 01:10:14,480
like the cloud going over a moon

1948
01:10:18,149 --> 01:10:15,760
i don't know whether anything passed

1949
01:10:19,350 --> 01:10:18,159
over then but there is no planes nothing

1950
01:10:21,030 --> 01:10:19,360
at all in sight

1951
01:10:22,709 --> 01:10:21,040
i pull the blankets up over my head and

1952
01:10:24,630 --> 01:10:22,719
think damn the army i wish they'd shut

1953
01:10:27,430 --> 01:10:24,640
up and go to sleep

1954
01:10:29,030 --> 01:10:27,440
in bed or out miss anderson has both

1955
01:10:31,110 --> 01:10:29,040
feet right on the ground

1956
01:10:33,669 --> 01:10:31,120
she's no intention of being taken in by

1957
01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:33,679
any talk of visitors from other planets

1958
01:10:37,350 --> 01:10:35,760
last summer i got up one morning looked

1959
01:10:40,709 --> 01:10:37,360
out of my bedroom window

1960
01:10:43,189 --> 01:10:40,719
and we had got army in green camouflage

1961
01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:43,199
jackets with

1962
01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:45,280
leaves in their steel helmets romping

1963
01:10:50,149 --> 01:10:48,000
around the the estate yard and the

1964
01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:50,159
woody beds beyond you could call those

1965
01:10:54,550 --> 01:10:52,000
little green men i suppose

1966
01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:54,560
now what do you think about this uh

1967
01:11:00,390 --> 01:10:56,640
general mystique that's developed about

1968
01:11:04,229 --> 01:11:03,189
um i think it's a pity that so many

1969
01:11:06,709 --> 01:11:04,239
people

1970
01:11:08,310 --> 01:11:06,719
are ready to make categorical statements

1971
01:11:10,790 --> 01:11:08,320
about a thing that nobody has bothered

1972
01:11:13,910 --> 01:11:10,800
to investigate

1973
01:11:18,630 --> 01:11:13,920
as far as i have been able to discover

1974
01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:18,640
there has been no coordinated

1975
01:11:27,430 --> 01:11:21,920
observation no scientific

1976
01:11:29,910 --> 01:11:27,440
inquiry as to what's happening

1977
01:11:31,110 --> 01:11:29,920
various individuals have seen various

1978
01:11:34,709 --> 01:11:31,120
things

1979
01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:34,719
and have immediately drawn their own

1980
01:11:42,790 --> 01:11:41,350
well if there's anything going on in

1981
01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:42,800
brackets kind of thing i'd like to know

1982
01:11:45,350 --> 01:11:43,840
what it is

1983
01:11:47,990 --> 01:11:45,360
if there's any nice little men about

1984
01:11:49,510 --> 01:11:48,000
spares from venus mars anywhere

1985
01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:49,520
have them come here by all means i mean

1986
01:11:53,270 --> 01:11:51,840
we'd like to know them

1987
01:11:55,669 --> 01:11:53,280
and if it's giving people something to

1988
01:11:58,070 --> 01:11:55,679
talk about we'll bring trade to the town

1989
01:11:59,350 --> 01:11:58,080
fair enough go on with the whole thing

1990
01:12:00,790 --> 01:11:59,360
so we continue to watch it for one and

1991
01:12:01,830 --> 01:12:00,800
then it started this very erratic

1992
01:12:03,590 --> 01:12:01,840
movement again

1993
01:12:06,149 --> 01:12:03,600
so i said is it the star and he said no

1994
01:12:08,149 --> 01:12:06,159
it isn't and then he believed

1995
01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:08,159
as well as me that there was definitely

1996
01:12:11,830 --> 01:12:09,280
something around

1997
01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:11,840
i believe in it because uh whereas those

1998
01:12:14,070 --> 01:12:13,280
who haven't seen and don't believe it

1999
01:12:16,709 --> 01:12:14,080
those who have

2000
01:12:17,430 --> 01:12:16,719
seen it must believe in it uh it's as

2001
01:12:19,830 --> 01:12:17,440
simple as that

2002
01:12:21,110 --> 01:12:19,840
those who see believe those who don't

2003
01:12:23,669 --> 01:12:21,120
see scoff

2004
01:12:25,189 --> 01:12:23,679
i don't believe them i just don't

2005
01:12:28,470 --> 01:12:25,199
believe in it at all i think this

2006
01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:28,480
is a it's something that's um it's not

2007
01:12:31,510 --> 01:12:29,520
proved

2008
01:12:33,430 --> 01:12:31,520
i just don't believe they exist until

2009
01:12:36,070 --> 01:12:33,440
they are actually proven

2010
01:12:38,390 --> 01:12:36,080
as a thing you know i mean they can show

2011
01:12:40,870 --> 01:12:38,400
photos but i think there's something

2012
01:12:42,550 --> 01:12:40,880
to explain it all but this is the fact i

2013
01:12:44,709 --> 01:12:42,560
have seen it

2014
01:12:45,910 --> 01:12:44,719
fact we're coming over the plane one

2015
01:12:48,950 --> 01:12:45,920
night

2016
01:12:50,790 --> 01:12:48,960
uh we're traveling rather fast they're

2017
01:12:53,110 --> 01:12:50,800
just overtaken so my wife said

2018
01:12:54,630 --> 01:12:53,120
stop stop well it appeared to be round

2019
01:12:56,630 --> 01:12:54,640
to me

2020
01:12:57,910 --> 01:12:56,640
but my husband was driving rather fast

2021
01:12:58,630 --> 01:12:57,920
and he wouldn't stop to have a look at

2022
01:13:00,310 --> 01:12:58,640
his egg

2023
01:13:01,830 --> 01:13:00,320
and then when we got home she explained

2024
01:13:03,430 --> 01:13:01,840
to me this is the thing she had seen

2025
01:13:04,870 --> 01:13:03,440
herself before and she wanted me to stop

2026
01:13:06,550 --> 01:13:04,880
save but i myself have

2027
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:06,560
only seen the movement of it from

2028
01:13:11,590 --> 01:13:09,520
terrific distance terrific speech

2029
01:13:12,950 --> 01:13:11,600
that's all i can tell you and i firmly

2030
01:13:14,630 --> 01:13:12,960
believe in doesn't bother me

2031
01:13:17,030 --> 01:13:14,640
i'm a christian i don't care about ed

2032
01:13:20,149 --> 01:13:17,040
talk have you seen anything else

2033
01:13:21,990 --> 01:13:20,159
since yes i have seen it once

2034
01:13:24,070 --> 01:13:22,000
or i think a few months later as i was

2035
01:13:25,910 --> 01:13:24,080
looking out from my back windows

2036
01:13:27,910 --> 01:13:25,920
it was above the trees and that then it

2037
01:13:30,070 --> 01:13:27,920
was swaying

2038
01:13:31,270 --> 01:13:30,080
did it look the same yes it did it had

2039
01:13:35,030 --> 01:13:31,280
the red light as well

2040
01:13:36,550 --> 01:13:35,040
as the previous one what sort of shape

2041
01:13:41,430 --> 01:13:36,560
did it have

2042
01:13:43,430 --> 01:13:41,440
well it made a round you know

2043
01:13:45,510 --> 01:13:43,440
you can't really describe it just

2044
01:13:48,550 --> 01:13:45,520
between those two bungalows

2045
01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:48,560
over there i saw this thing

2046
01:13:53,910 --> 01:13:51,600
and it was very bright white

2047
01:13:55,270 --> 01:13:53,920
but it was sort of dome shaped you know

2048
01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:55,280
like a saucer

2049
01:13:58,390 --> 01:13:57,360
mrs atwell a pilot's wife had a most

2050
01:13:59,990 --> 01:13:58,400
moving experience

2051
01:14:03,510 --> 01:14:00,000
after which she'll never feel quite the

2052
01:14:06,149 --> 01:14:03,520
same again the noise woke me

2053
01:14:07,270 --> 01:14:06,159
tell me the droning they were like sound

2054
01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:07,280
waves

2055
01:14:11,270 --> 01:14:09,199
never heard anything like it before

2056
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:11,280
never

2057
01:14:16,550 --> 01:14:14,560
loud oh terribly loud

2058
01:14:19,189 --> 01:14:16,560
that's why i can't understand why my

2059
01:14:21,510 --> 01:14:19,199
neighbors didn't hear it

2060
01:14:22,950 --> 01:14:21,520
because i'm not a light sleep i i sleep

2061
01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:22,960
soundly

2062
01:14:27,030 --> 01:14:25,120
and none of your neighbors heard no even

2063
01:14:28,709 --> 01:14:27,040
my little boy was fast asleep

2064
01:14:30,229 --> 01:14:28,719
i went in to see him i was too

2065
01:14:32,550 --> 01:14:30,239
frightened really to think

2066
01:14:34,790 --> 01:14:32,560
i shall never forget it it was about

2067
01:14:39,669 --> 01:14:34,800
here in this direction i live over

2068
01:14:47,189 --> 01:14:43,990
500 feet high too very bright very white

2069
01:14:48,630 --> 01:14:47,199
and obviously um metallic i didn't see

2070
01:14:51,270 --> 01:14:48,640
any lights on it

2071
01:14:52,070 --> 01:14:51,280
but it was the noise which frightened me

2072
01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:52,080
it was a

2073
01:14:59,110 --> 01:14:55,199
terrible high-pitched droning

2074
01:15:00,310 --> 01:14:59,120
sound i just

2075
01:15:01,510 --> 01:15:00,320
i just don't know how to describe

2076
01:15:03,030 --> 01:15:01,520
because i've never heard anything quite

2077
01:15:04,390 --> 01:15:03,040
like it before

2078
01:15:07,030 --> 01:15:04,400
john what sort of things have you seen

2079
01:15:09,510 --> 01:15:07,040
in the past well since i've been here

2080
01:15:10,070 --> 01:15:09,520
since 1969 i've seen a lot of things

2081
01:15:12,790 --> 01:15:10,080
from this

2082
01:15:13,990 --> 01:15:12,800
area here cradle hill mainly orange

2083
01:15:15,990 --> 01:15:14,000
pulsating objects

2084
01:15:17,430 --> 01:15:16,000
a couple of years ago when the spasms

2085
01:15:20,070 --> 01:15:17,440
started i've seen

2086
01:15:21,430 --> 01:15:20,080
things coming over here from the north

2087
01:15:24,950 --> 01:15:21,440
here and from the

2088
01:15:27,350 --> 01:15:24,960
east here quite good objects very low

2089
01:15:29,350 --> 01:15:27,360
pulsating orange globes of light

2090
01:15:31,030 --> 01:15:29,360
definitely not aircraft

2091
01:15:32,390 --> 01:15:31,040
apart from these objects and the white

2092
01:15:34,229 --> 01:15:32,400
pulsators which

2093
01:15:35,750 --> 01:15:34,239
are quite numerous here i have seen a

2094
01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:35,760
landing at star hill

2095
01:15:39,270 --> 01:15:37,760
which consists of three revolving lights

2096
01:15:43,750 --> 01:15:39,280
coming there

2097
01:15:46,950 --> 01:15:43,760
yes on august 27th 1969

2098
01:15:48,870 --> 01:15:46,960
i saw two points of light in south wales

2099
01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:48,880
coming this direction i'm not wholly

2100
01:15:51,750 --> 01:15:50,400
convinced that they were ufos

2101
01:15:54,149 --> 01:15:51,760
they were merely points of light but

2102
01:15:55,910 --> 01:15:54,159
they zigzagged and they did appear

2103
01:15:58,790 --> 01:15:55,920
from maps they appeared to be coming

2104
01:16:00,550 --> 01:15:58,800
towards warminster

2105
01:16:02,070 --> 01:16:00,560
other people saw rather spectacular

2106
01:16:04,950 --> 01:16:02,080
things on this hill

2107
01:16:07,669 --> 01:16:04,960
that night they saw two objects they

2108
01:16:10,709 --> 01:16:07,679
sought them here

2109
01:16:13,590 --> 01:16:10,719
they sought them over there

2110
01:16:15,590 --> 01:16:13,600
they sought the things over there they

2111
01:16:17,750 --> 01:16:15,600
sought them everywhere around here

2112
01:16:19,830 --> 01:16:17,760
some of them thought they even saw them

2113
01:16:21,350 --> 01:16:19,840
but others had rather different views

2114
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:21,360
it's the beer around here

2115
01:16:28,870 --> 01:16:25,760
what you mean hallucinations yeah

2116
01:16:31,750 --> 01:16:28,880
i saw a big ball of fire go across

2117
01:16:33,669 --> 01:16:31,760
from the coming from the camp way to the

2118
01:16:37,350 --> 01:16:33,679
walls froome

2119
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:54,310
air ballooned with the doofus on

2120
01:16:58,630 --> 01:16:56,229
a public meeting chaired by the then

2121
01:17:01,830 --> 01:16:58,640
council leader emeline reese

2122
01:17:03,270 --> 01:17:01,840
pandemonium there were hundreds of

2123
01:17:06,070 --> 01:17:03,280
people there

2124
01:17:08,070 --> 01:17:06,080
it was scheduled to start at half past

2125
01:17:10,149 --> 01:17:08,080
seven

2126
01:17:11,830 --> 01:17:10,159
i had a message about quarter to sixing

2127
01:17:13,430 --> 01:17:11,840
i ought to do something about it and get

2128
01:17:15,030 --> 01:17:13,440
down to the town hall because people

2129
01:17:17,590 --> 01:17:15,040
couldn't get in

2130
01:17:18,950 --> 01:17:17,600
and i had great difficulty myself about

2131
01:17:21,990 --> 01:17:18,960
quarter past seven

2132
01:17:25,270 --> 01:17:22,000
to get into the meeting it was going in

2133
01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:25,280
very well in full swing and the

2134
01:17:32,470 --> 01:17:28,560
post office brought in this telegram

2135
01:17:34,149 --> 01:17:32,480
investigations completed invasion fears

2136
01:17:37,910 --> 01:17:34,159
unjustified

2137
01:17:40,790 --> 01:17:37,920
carry on emilyn signed doctor who

2138
01:17:41,510 --> 01:17:40,800
of course this was quite a relief at

2139
01:17:43,270 --> 01:17:41,520
that time

2140
01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:43,280
and of course everybody burst into fits

2141
01:17:48,070 --> 01:17:44,880
of laughter

2142
01:17:51,110 --> 01:17:48,080
i had innumerable about letters

2143
01:17:53,669 --> 01:17:51,120
um a lot from the united kingdom

2144
01:17:55,669 --> 01:17:53,679
but a vast number from america and quite

2145
01:17:58,390 --> 01:17:55,679
sensible letters

2146
01:17:59,750 --> 01:17:58,400
and i replied to them all and i've had

2147
01:18:01,350 --> 01:17:59,760
quite a lot of correspondence in the

2148
01:18:04,310 --> 01:18:01,360
intermediate years

2149
01:18:06,149 --> 01:18:04,320
i've had nothing in the last five or six

2150
01:18:08,470 --> 01:18:06,159
it's died it's natural death

2151
01:18:09,669 --> 01:18:08,480
warming society did spawn the british

2152
01:18:12,630 --> 01:18:09,679
ufo society

2153
01:18:13,669 --> 01:18:12,640
tenaciously scanning the heavens today

2154
01:18:16,470 --> 01:18:13,679
back in town

2155
01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:16,480
traffic still flows earthly mortals

2156
01:18:19,510 --> 01:18:16,960
still

2157
01:18:21,510 --> 01:18:19,520
shop but the cash registers do miss

2158
01:18:25,990 --> 01:18:21,520
those heydays

2159
01:18:28,390 --> 01:18:26,000
i keep an open mind why warming

2160
01:18:30,550 --> 01:18:28,400
your guess is as good as mine but let's

2161
01:18:33,189 --> 01:18:30,560
have another one soon

2162
01:18:33,830 --> 01:18:33,199
so whether some people saw the thing or

2163
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:33,840
not

2164
01:18:37,350 --> 01:18:35,520
the traders of warminster would

2165
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:37,360
certainly like it back soon

2166
01:18:48,870 --> 01:18:41,570
please before the army shoot it down

2167
01:18:52,550 --> 01:18:51,350
i hate to say this it sounds a bit big

2168
01:18:55,430 --> 01:18:52,560
headed but

2169
01:18:55,990 --> 01:18:55,440
i've seen dozens of them and i've been

2170
01:18:57,910 --> 01:18:56,000
quite

2171
01:18:59,510 --> 01:18:57,920
convinced in my mind you know that these

2172
01:19:01,669 --> 01:18:59,520
are not just satellites they're not just

2173
01:19:04,790 --> 01:19:01,679
roving planes or helicopters

2174
01:19:05,350 --> 01:19:04,800
these do extraordinary things maneuvers

2175
01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:05,360
that

2176
01:19:09,990 --> 01:19:08,400
concepts

2177
01:19:11,990 --> 01:19:10,000
you've seen them here behind you on the

2178
01:19:15,430 --> 01:19:12,000
side of cradle hill here

2179
01:19:18,229 --> 01:19:15,440
uh over the cops there over an ancient

2180
01:19:20,470 --> 01:19:18,239
iron age settlement and fort there

2181
01:19:22,390 --> 01:19:20,480
beyond us here at clay hill

2182
01:19:24,390 --> 01:19:22,400
i've seen them in this vicinity for the

2183
01:19:26,310 --> 01:19:24,400
last six years

2184
01:19:28,550 --> 01:19:26,320
all those years ago someone else moved

2185
01:19:30,390 --> 01:19:28,560
to warminster drawn by the unexplained

2186
01:19:33,030 --> 01:19:30,400
happenings around the town

2187
01:19:34,070 --> 01:19:33,040
this face on the hillside in 1966 was

2188
01:19:36,790 --> 01:19:34,080
ken rogers

2189
01:19:37,270 --> 01:19:36,800
and time hasn't altered his views same

2190
01:19:40,229 --> 01:19:37,280
man

2191
01:19:41,750 --> 01:19:40,239
same place 19 years later was it all

2192
01:19:44,070 --> 01:19:41,760
just mass hysteria

2193
01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:44,080
ken rogers doesn't think so he says his

2194
01:19:47,030 --> 01:19:45,280
time wasn't wasted

2195
01:19:49,430 --> 01:19:47,040
and he still believes there's something

2196
01:19:50,790 --> 01:19:49,440
about warminster

2197
01:19:53,030 --> 01:19:50,800
you actually moved to warwickshire

2198
01:19:53,750 --> 01:19:53,040
because of the ufos yes i felt that at

2199
01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:53,760
the time

2200
01:19:57,669 --> 01:19:56,000
that there were things happening the

2201
01:20:00,870 --> 01:19:57,679
authorities and the scientists

2202
01:20:03,430 --> 01:20:00,880
weren't taking seriously enough i

2203
01:20:05,110 --> 01:20:03,440
came down here i interviewed lots of the

2204
01:20:07,510 --> 01:20:05,120
local uh

2205
01:20:08,870 --> 01:20:07,520
witnesses and that convinced me i think

2206
01:20:12,550 --> 01:20:08,880
more than anything

2207
01:20:14,070 --> 01:20:12,560
really down to earth local people

2208
01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:14,080
and i had nothing to gain from sort of

2209
01:20:19,350 --> 01:20:16,320
lying or imagining these things

2210
01:20:22,950 --> 01:20:19,360
and they told a similar story strange

2211
01:20:24,950 --> 01:20:22,960
noises on rooftops followed by uh

2212
01:20:26,390 --> 01:20:24,960
sightings of fiery cigar-shaped objects

2213
01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:26,400
in the sky

2214
01:20:33,110 --> 01:20:31,750
all sorts of people still these things

2215
01:20:35,430 --> 01:20:33,120
um local

2216
01:20:37,350 --> 01:20:35,440
vikko and his wife the physiotherapist

2217
01:20:38,790 --> 01:20:37,360
the head postmaster

2218
01:20:40,390 --> 01:20:38,800
so what sort of things did you actually

2219
01:20:42,550 --> 01:20:40,400
see that up here on cradle hill

2220
01:20:44,229 --> 01:20:42,560
looking back i remember seeing

2221
01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:44,239
shimmering orbs of light in the sky

2222
01:20:49,830 --> 01:20:46,560
silver discoids um

2223
01:20:51,270 --> 01:20:49,840
things called amber gamblers things uh

2224
01:20:53,510 --> 01:20:51,280
orange lights that suddenly would appear

2225
01:20:54,950 --> 01:20:53,520
in the sky and it'll gamble along before

2226
01:20:57,030 --> 01:20:54,960
suddenly turning off at right angles and

2227
01:20:58,629 --> 01:20:57,040
disappearing into thin air

2228
01:21:00,629 --> 01:20:58,639
you would see amazing i was actually

2229
01:21:02,149 --> 01:21:00,639
convinced that i'm published i'm

2230
01:21:05,350 --> 01:21:02,159
convinced that war minister

2231
01:21:07,750 --> 01:21:05,360
in the 60s was invaded by

2232
01:21:10,149 --> 01:21:07,760
either extraterrestrials or visitors

2233
01:21:12,229 --> 01:21:10,159
from interdimensions

2234
01:21:15,189 --> 01:21:12,239
and the evidence alone shows that

2235
01:21:17,030 --> 01:21:15,199
something strange was happening

2236
01:21:19,110 --> 01:21:17,040
up on the hill arthur shuttlewood was

2237
01:21:21,189 --> 01:21:19,120
convinced something was happening

2238
01:21:23,510 --> 01:21:21,199
he gathered dozens of reports from local

2239
01:21:25,590 --> 01:21:23,520
people ordinary folk who in the words of

2240
01:21:26,950 --> 01:21:25,600
one observer were not easily given to

2241
01:21:29,189 --> 01:21:26,960
flights of fancy

2242
01:21:32,629 --> 01:21:29,199
or were they shuttlewood a former

2243
01:21:36,070 --> 01:21:32,639
policeman had no doubts

2244
01:21:38,470 --> 01:21:36,080
uh the figures um they're rather round

2245
01:21:39,510 --> 01:21:38,480
headed very tall between seven and eight

2246
01:21:41,590 --> 01:21:39,520
feet tall

2247
01:21:43,830 --> 01:21:41,600
this appear to have known eggs joined

2248
01:21:46,950 --> 01:21:43,840
straight down onto the shoulders

2249
01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:46,960
long gangling limbs

2250
01:21:51,750 --> 01:21:49,920
and you don't see any features but you

2251
01:21:54,790 --> 01:21:51,760
see the solid outline of the

2252
01:21:55,430 --> 01:21:54,800
figure the entity if you like and the

2253
01:21:58,390 --> 01:21:55,440
rest

2254
01:22:00,149 --> 01:21:58,400
the interior part is transparent you're

2255
01:22:01,830 --> 01:22:00,159
suddenly aware that they're there

2256
01:22:03,350 --> 01:22:01,840
and as though sometimes as though

2257
01:22:04,310 --> 01:22:03,360
they've been riveted there but in an

2258
01:22:06,629 --> 01:22:04,320
invisible form

2259
01:22:07,590 --> 01:22:06,639
crazy sounds crazy of course it sounds

2260
01:22:10,070 --> 01:22:07,600
crazy

2261
01:22:11,669 --> 01:22:10,080
uh but they suddenly appear and if you

2262
01:22:13,350 --> 01:22:11,679
find a torch on them

2263
01:22:15,030 --> 01:22:13,360
you know you're rather agitated by the

2264
01:22:16,870 --> 01:22:15,040
sheer height of these figures

2265
01:22:18,070 --> 01:22:16,880
they're quite terrifying really you

2266
01:22:20,470 --> 01:22:18,080
shine a torch on them

2267
01:22:21,189 --> 01:22:20,480
and they disappear absolutely

2268
01:22:23,030 --> 01:22:21,199
materialize

2269
01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:23,040
and then they come up closer to you

2270
01:22:26,550 --> 01:22:24,480
which is again frightening

2271
01:22:28,390 --> 01:22:26,560
i've had the back of my jacket tugged

2272
01:22:30,790 --> 01:22:28,400
several times up here

2273
01:22:31,510 --> 01:22:30,800
and i've suspected practical jokers you

2274
01:22:33,110 --> 01:22:31,520
know

2275
01:22:34,629 --> 01:22:33,120
because we do get jokers obviously in

2276
01:22:36,470 --> 01:22:34,639
this subject but

2277
01:22:38,629 --> 01:22:36,480
most people are serious about it and you

2278
01:22:42,229 --> 01:22:38,639
look around nothing nobody

2279
01:22:43,910 --> 01:22:42,239
at all the watch went on but many of the

2280
01:22:45,990 --> 01:22:43,920
locals remained unimpressed

2281
01:22:47,990 --> 01:22:46,000
if there was an answer they had it

2282
01:22:49,750 --> 01:22:48,000
murmuring darkly of the military goings

2283
01:22:51,750 --> 01:22:49,760
on around salisbury plain

2284
01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:51,760
and the secret experimental aircraft

2285
01:22:55,110 --> 01:22:53,520
establishment at boscon down

2286
01:22:57,110 --> 01:22:55,120
heaven alone knew what they got up to

2287
01:23:00,709 --> 01:22:57,120
over there but shuttlewood

2288
01:23:05,030 --> 01:23:03,990
i think that originally they came from

2289
01:23:08,229 --> 01:23:05,040
some planet

2290
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:08,239
about three million years ago this one

2291
01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:11,760
cosmic surveying race and they begat

2292
01:23:17,830 --> 01:23:15,120
man in the image that they then were

2293
01:23:18,790 --> 01:23:17,840
so they come back with parental concern

2294
01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:18,800
now

2295
01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:29,510
but not everyone felt comfortable with

2296
01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:31,600
warminster's new reputation

2297
01:23:34,629 --> 01:23:33,840
if you were a woman person and you went

2298
01:23:37,350 --> 01:23:34,639
away

2299
01:23:39,030 --> 01:23:37,360
anywhere um and someone said to you

2300
01:23:40,229 --> 01:23:39,040
where'd you come from and you said

2301
01:23:44,470 --> 01:23:40,239
walminster

2302
01:23:48,790 --> 01:23:44,480
they expected you to have horns

2303
01:23:51,430 --> 01:23:48,800
and look green we did

2304
01:23:52,390 --> 01:23:51,440
personally i did get quite a lot of leg

2305
01:23:56,310 --> 01:23:52,400
pulling when

2306
01:23:58,149 --> 01:23:56,320
i met people away from orminster

2307
01:24:00,790 --> 01:23:58,159
they they just didn't believe what was

2308
01:24:03,430 --> 01:24:00,800
going on and they thought it was all

2309
01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:03,440
a great joke the majority of people i

2310
01:24:06,470 --> 01:24:05,280
met while i was away

2311
01:24:08,310 --> 01:24:06,480
but there were a lot of very sensible

2312
01:24:09,110 --> 01:24:08,320
people it wasn't just nuts or cranks who

2313
01:24:11,110 --> 01:24:09,120
saw these things

2314
01:24:12,550 --> 01:24:11,120
oh no no i think they definitely saw

2315
01:24:14,390 --> 01:24:12,560
things um

2316
01:24:16,070 --> 01:24:14,400
what they were i wouldn't know and

2317
01:24:22,229 --> 01:24:16,080
that's what the investigation is

2318
01:24:25,510 --> 01:24:23,669
see the trouble with this area is you

2319
01:24:29,510 --> 01:24:25,520
get army helicopters

2320
01:24:33,030 --> 01:24:29,520
we've invented this very uh basic

2321
01:24:35,270 --> 01:24:33,040
ufo detector and what it is is we

2322
01:24:36,070 --> 01:24:35,280
have it pointing it's like a compass we

2323
01:24:38,310 --> 01:24:36,080
have it pointing at

2324
01:24:39,910 --> 01:24:38,320
magnetic north and it's connected to a

2325
01:24:42,709 --> 01:24:39,920
buzzer

2326
01:24:44,709 --> 01:24:42,719
and then set it up on sky watches switch

2327
01:24:46,470 --> 01:24:44,719
it on and then should you

2328
01:24:48,229 --> 01:24:46,480
come over emitting any electromagnetic

2329
01:24:51,910 --> 01:24:48,239
frequencies

2330
01:24:54,950 --> 01:24:51,920
the compass needle will get defected and

2331
01:24:56,149 --> 01:24:54,960
set up an alarm giving us some

2332
01:24:56,870 --> 01:24:56,159
indication that something may be in the

2333
01:24:58,709 --> 01:24:56,880
area

2334
01:25:01,350 --> 01:24:58,719
and we look up and hopefully we see

2335
01:25:04,870 --> 01:25:01,360
something they seem to come over from

2336
01:25:08,229 --> 01:25:04,880
over there they come over and they

2337
01:25:10,070 --> 01:25:08,239
sort of go in different sort of shapes

2338
01:25:11,510 --> 01:25:10,080
and stuff come over different colors and

2339
01:25:12,709 --> 01:25:11,520
stuff

2340
01:25:14,550 --> 01:25:12,719
i mean i've come here a couple of times

2341
01:25:17,270 --> 01:25:14,560
we've been with each operations on and

2342
01:25:19,669 --> 01:25:17,280
they say they don't come around then so

2343
01:25:20,950 --> 01:25:19,679
but i believe one day i'll see one

2344
01:25:22,709 --> 01:25:20,960
well i've been up there several times

2345
01:25:23,990 --> 01:25:22,719
and i've never seen anything

2346
01:25:31,669 --> 01:25:24,000
but because you know there's been quite

2347
01:25:36,229 --> 01:25:34,629
up to cradle hill and then just uh past

2348
01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:36,239
the farmhouse

2349
01:25:42,390 --> 01:25:39,600
i became aware of this grey thing

2350
01:25:43,990 --> 01:25:42,400
lying in the road and was just

2351
01:25:45,669 --> 01:25:44,000
absolutely dead scared you know

2352
01:25:47,590 --> 01:25:45,679
it was just a sphere it was just like a

2353
01:25:47,990 --> 01:25:47,600
fog really but it was perfectly outlined

2354
01:25:50,790 --> 01:25:48,000
it was

2355
01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:50,800
the typical classical flying saucer you

2356
01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:52,880
see in photographs and so on

2357
01:25:57,030 --> 01:25:55,360
and it just lay there right across the

2358
01:26:00,070 --> 01:25:57,040
road

2359
01:26:01,510 --> 01:26:00,080
and i just went absolutely hot uh

2360
01:26:03,270 --> 01:26:01,520
i didn't know what to make of it it was

2361
01:26:04,709 --> 01:26:03,280
similar to like doctor who's tardis if

2362
01:26:06,390 --> 01:26:04,719
like it was half here and half not as if

2363
01:26:08,550 --> 01:26:06,400
it was in another dimension

2364
01:26:10,149 --> 01:26:08,560
it's an incredible experience and i

2365
01:26:13,270 --> 01:26:10,159
don't expect people to believe unless

2366
01:26:13,910 --> 01:26:13,280
it happens to them have you made up your

2367
01:26:16,310 --> 01:26:13,920
mind yet

2368
01:26:17,350 --> 01:26:16,320
or are you like me totally confused and

2369
01:26:19,189 --> 01:26:17,360
mystified

2370
01:26:21,270 --> 01:26:19,199
i just don't know anyway i think

2371
01:26:39,980 --> 01:26:21,280
somebody's trying to tell me something

2372
01:27:19,200 --> 01:26:43,840
