ground and the driving conditions were dangerous. They drove over the brow of ahill to see below and to their left a bright light in the distance. Initially thinking itwas a house they soon realised the light was in an empty field that theyd passedby many times in the course of their duties. The object was stationary for amoment before slowly moving across the wintry landscape. The object was domeshaped with a white light that appeared to be coming from some kind of windowstructure.

PS McDAVID said that he drove to within a mile ofthe object. He described it as being longer than an aircraft and hovering at an

altitude of only 500 feet. He described the shape of the UFO as being similar tothat of an airship with five or six white lights shining from six different areas ofthe craft. PC SMITH said, I never believed in UFOs up to now. It was raining atthe time and the cloud base was very low. The UFO remained in a stationery

position for around 20 minutes until it vanished over the hill to the west of thetown. Several members of the public also reported seeing the UFO. Checks withthe Glasgow Weather Centre proved negative as they could not explain the

configuration of the lights as described by the witnesses.UFO CLASSI FI CATI ON NL (NOCTURNAL LI GHT)

Poss ib le exp lanat ion The above case is one of the first investigations carried

by Graham Birdsall and Mark Birdsall. They interviewed many of the peopleinvolved. A scientist later stated that the object seen was the planet Venus. Inaddition a number of photographs were taken by a Scene of Crime Officer thatappeared to support the Venus theory. However I have examined the statementsof several of the officers concerned and they are very specific about there being

a definite change of direction over Wetherby. In addition the altitude quoted bysome of the officers is only 2000 feet and the object was followed in a policevehicle for several miles. Given these specific descriptions I believe this one is

still up for debate.

An on duty uniformed police officer, PC ALAN GODFREY was making one last

sweep of an housing estate looking for a number of cows that had been seenroaming loose in the area before going off his night shift. As he was about to turnright off Burnley Road, Todmorden he looked up the road to see what he initiallythought was a bus slew across the road. However almost immediately he realised

it wasnt a bus and decided to investigate what it was. Instead of turning right hewent straight on toward the object. When he approached he saw that it was a

diamond shaped UFO hovering in a stationary position five feet above the road.He was within 20-50 feet of the craft. He described the object as being 20 feetwide and 14 feet high with windows on the top part whilst the bottom partrotated anticlockwise. Shocked and frightened he attempted to contact his localpolice control via the vehicles radio set but it would not function nor would his

personal radio. Whilst sat in the car he decided to sketch the object in front ofhim. Moments later a bizarre thing happened and he suddenly found himselfdriving down the same road approximately 50-100 yards further on with the

object having disappeared. Puzzled and shaken by the experience he drove backtowards Todmorden Police station where he saw a colleague on foot patrol. Hepicked him up and drove him back to the scene of his encounter. There theyfound a circular patch in the road where the road was drier (there had been some

overnight rain) than the surrounding area. PC GODFREY stated that the rotationof the craft had caused nearby trees and bushes to shake. Leaves and brancheshad formed a circular pattern where PC GODFREY claimed the UFO had been.Only hours later did it emerge that he had suffered a period of missing time ofapproximately 15-20 minutes which he couldnt account for at the end of his shift.Interestingly one of his boots had sustained a split under his foot that hadntbeen there earlier in the shift. Where it had been he found a red mark on his foot

that developed into an irritating rash. This later required minor medical treatmentand persisted for several days after the incident. Unable to satisfactorily accountfor the period of missing time he was eventually persuaded to undergo hypnoticregression in an effort to solve the mystery. What emerged over a series of four

such sessions was that of an alien abduction scenario which is widely regardedas one of Britains finest cases. Under hypnosis he recalled that he had got out of

the police vehicle to get a better look at the object, however an intense whitelight had enveloped him which frightened him he sought the sanctuary of the


23/51

police car. He then found in a room lying on a table with a number of small bulbhead figures holding him down. A taller humanoid figure came and telepathically

communicated with him. Moments later he found himself back in the policevehicle driving along the road, which is where his conscious memories begin. Tothis day he does not have any conscious memories of the abduction scenario andfinds it difficult to comprehend himself. Although the story sounds bizarre, part

corroboration for the sighting came in the guise of three other Halifax basedofficers who were out on the moors only an hour or so prior to PC GODFREYsencounter. This case links to the above named case. In addition a member of thepublic saw a similar coloured object in the town itself minutes prior to the

GODFREY sighting.UFO CLASSI FI CATI ON CE3 ( CLOSE ENCOUNTER 3 RD K I N D )

Whilst driving his police marked vehicle PC GARY MI LBURN saw to his leftwhat he initially thought was an aircraft about to crash into the ground. He didan emergency stop and the police vehicle made a slight skid to a halt. He wound

down his window and saw the fuselage of an object with no wings moving at analtitude of approximately 500 feet. At that point he was struck by the fact thatthe object made no noise whatsoever and that it did not crash. He observed it forabout 8 seconds. On the side of the object was a series of coloured lights. It was

last seen disappearing over buildings in Brighouse. He tried to follow but never

saw it again. He did not believe it was an aircraft. He reported the sighting to hisHQ and was largely ridiculed by his colleagues for doing so. However he made

exhaustive checks with civilian and military sources and was told no aircraft werein the vicinity as the time of his sightings. A few weeks later he received a letterfrom the CAA saying hed seen an inbound DC10. He rejected that out of handbecause the aircraft has three engines and would have made a lot noise as it

pulled out of what he thought was a dive but there had been no noise or airdisplacement whatsoever.UFO CLASSI FI CATI ON CE1 ( CLOSE ENCOUNTER 1 ST K I N D)

and was flying along an air corridor known as H2 and 10. When it was north ofKew Bridge the pilot suddenly reported an airmiss with what he initially thoughthad been a model aircraft. The on board radar detected that the object was infact circling the helicopter at close proximity to it! The pilot came back on the air

and said that it was not a model aircraft but a UFO. Everyone in the ATCbegan to listen intently to what the pilot was describing. He went onto to describe

the object as a grey metallic disc approximately 3-4 feet in diameter. He thenasked could he follow the object which as began to descend toward the ground

over a railway goods yard. He was given permission to do so. He then reportedthat the object was performed incredible feats of manoeuvrability as it dartedaround the goods yard. It was able to hover, rise vertically and make right angledturns! At one point the object hovered above a man walking his dog who wasoblivious to the fact that it was over him inferring that the object was silent aswell. Eventually the object suddenly rose vertically into the air at a very fast rateto an altitude of 3500 feet where it disappeared into cloud.UFO CLASSI FI CATI ON CE1 ( CLOSE ENCOUNTER 1 ST K I N D)

silence. DS TROAKE said, Im used to seeing aircraft in the sky but this wasmassive-much bigger than a plane.
