Dear All,

Many thanks for the the info thus far. I am currently reading for
a B.sc(Hons) in prehistoric Archaeology in Bournemouth, U.k.I am
fascinated by the concept of extraterrestrial life and can't wait
for the day when archaeologists will be called upon to evaluate
evidence of stellar civilizations!

On a more earthly note, after sifting through endless amounts of
British published material on the subject, I have found that
there seems to be a common agreement that needs reappraisal. Many
publications show pictures of circular anomolies on the ground
(not crop circles) and interpret them as evidence of alien
landings.I would suggest that at least 99% of these are simply
archaeological features dating to no later than the late
Iron-Age.

Why are archaeologists excluded from the scientific study of
ufology? The most recent sightings in this area were last year
when a group of three spherical/bright objects "screamed" across
the horizon between the Purbeck hills and Hengistbury Head before
turning sharply east and literally disapearing.

I am interested in the role of sightings in antiquity and whether
prehistoric man was influenced temporaly/spiritually by the
phenomenon. Cave art and contemporary carvings seem to be devoid
of any depictions of such encounters.

I would discount the ramblings of Von Danekin!!(Chariots of the
Gods)etc.


I would be interested to hear from any serious ufo researchers
that agree with the fundamental role that archaeologists could
have to play in this arena.

Keep up the good work!

Best wishes and kind regards,

Si Cleggett
