Dear All,

Further developments have taken place. BUFOSC investigators have
now spoken with 100 local people including those living nearest
to the site of the supposed "landing". Not only had nobody heard
or seen anything remotely resembling a UFO but the
damaged/flattened area had been there for weeks _prior_ to the
supposed events of Sunday night/Monday morning. This means that
"Wenham" and "Sutton" probably sought out a flattened area in
order to try and tie their false report in with the UFO 'landing
and trace' case literature _and_ from an historical point of view.

Also a 'long-lost sister' of the female 'witness' has emerged
from the woodwork as well as new information on the location of
Room 204 at the Royal George Hotel, Knutsford, from which the
two people claimed to have been able to see the "Nine UFOs"
descending on the night in question! It is _not_ possible to see
the area in question - or indeed anything much - from the
vantage point they had claimed to be in.....

"Wenham" also asked BUFOSC investigators how he and "Sutton"
could make quick money from the sighting. Perhaps money was a
motive.....? He had, in fact, been arrested on the Sunday at a
football match and subsequently released by Police in Manchester
after trouble at the game against Chelsea. He told several
investigators this interesting little fact. He thought he was
very heroic.....

Furthermore the female witness told her boss that she was ill
when in fact she was in Cheshire . I phoned her boss again
yesterday and she is _still_ claiming to be ill despite the fact
that she has been out and about in the last few days. The boss
commented earlier on this week to Eric Morris (after "Sutton"
had begged him to ring the guy and say that she was "traumatized
by her close encounter experience") that he would never trust
her again......

A man claiming to be her father phoned me tonight and despite
her having told me that she was originally from Northampton and
had been called "Caroline Bradley" prior to her marriage he
denied all knowledge of this!! But get this; when he first
phoned my number I was out walking the dogs. He told my wife
that he was "a colleague" of mine which she instantly knew to be
a lie!!

What has the world come to when people are prepared to go to
such extraordinary lengths to try and mislead researchers?

Is there something sinister lurking behind this web of intrigue,
inconsistency and discrepancy??

One thing is for sure; you can forget your training courses for
investigators. All they need to so is to follow the trail and
look for the details, as we have in this case from the start,
and they will be successful. This most unusual case indicates,
above all, that the British UFO Studies Centre is ready, willing
and able to investigate cases in minute detail in order to check
and verify claims made by witnesses.

I think we deserve 11 out of 10 on this one.

Beware hoaxers!!
