FL Yir<lG objects. spotted hoverine over Earl ShiltOD last week remain unidentified by Lelcestershlre UFO Study Group. The disc-like
obj, ec’ts spotted on March 26, were &c.Cn
. .by seven witnes!ies who said they ’1erked around the sky" at fast speeds, hovering at times and producing a high. pitched noise which changed in frequency. Witness George
Hemmings said: "One object seemed to dance around the other one. J’ve never seen anything like this before - they. definitely were not DOnna! aircnft. "
Looking upA MIS Heath of
Hinckley also spotted the UFOs at around 4pm; "A lot of people were looking up into the sky. We were just coming back from shopping when we saw two saucer-like ~~.ects low in. the

t pitched sound - we. . don’t know .quite what to make of it all," she said. The objects finally
headed towards Leicester at around 4.10pm, according to the study group who

IT was th; pi;’~tog~1ii~t- launched a thousand spaceships. .The blUrred -image -of a. flying -saueer- turned the Wiltshire town of Wa.rminster into a mecca for UFO spotters. and claims of other slghtings came thick and fast. But. ,.esterda,.. almost 30 ,.ears later, the pic-- ture wu exposed as a hoax - by one Of the two men who hatched the plot. in their local pub. The ’Thing, as It was
christened, was nothing more than a milk bottle top, a cotton reel &I1d a button. .
Ret1red print worker Roger. Hooton, who now lives in Adelaide. owned up a.tter re&d1ng in UK Mail, the Da.Uy UaU’s in- tem&tional edltion, that. another flUllous photo - supposedly of the Loch Ness Monster - was of a model mounted on . toy lIubma.r1ne.

blank. When we got the f11m back from Boots, there it was - a flying
, saucer.’ After the. photo air
pcared In the Wannin- ster Journal, the Thing took on a lile of its own. A national newspaper took up the story and Warmlnster t.hrobbed with hundreds of people hoping to see an allen. The town even spawned its own UFO Newsletter. "Ihe Joke had got out
of hand,’ said !.Ir Hooton, ’n had sparked & whole new industry in Warmlnster &nd It seemed a shame to stop it.’ He hM now confessed
the hoax to John Spen- cer, vice-chairman of the British UFO Research Asso<:iation, who Included the ’Th.ing in two of hJs books. Mr Spencer 1SII.id: ’It.
was the picture that f1nlt. got. me Involved in the subject. I was 11 at. the time and It. got me tern.- bly interested. It. had al- ways been regarded as one of those photographs that could be OJ’ could not be, . ’Mr Hooton felt terribly
guilty about It. He wanted to put. the record straight..’ .
Despite knowing the truth. Mr Spencer’s faith Is unshaken. He &aid: ’I don’t. believe In tly1ng saucers or aliens, but. 1 do believe In UFOs. There are things we don’t. understand In our skies.’ .
Warmlnster Journal editor Diana Wat.t1ns, whose grandfather pub- lli;hed the original photo, said: ’I always used to say tbat when 1 saw one 1 would believe 1t. 1 stw haven’t seen one.’

A UFO group has been set up to keep watch on the night sky over Swindon. Musician Stephen Sheerin~ and
some of his UFO-spotter fnends who go out searchmg the skies twice a week are forming the club. They plan to have monthly
meeting;s with guest speakers as well as ’night skX outings". Stephen doesn t believe in fly-
ing saucers but he reckons he has had a close encounter with a tri- an~le of mystery lights.
It happened when he was one f a group of about 30 people from
all over the world who congre- ated at the top of Silbury Hill ear Avebury. "None of us knew what we went
there for it, it was just a feeling that we had to go," said Stephen, 36, who lives in Penhill, Swindon. "It’s not easy to explain what we saw but a triangle of lights about 40 f et across glided si. lently past. It was truly unbelie- vable and I just don’t know what it was except that it was an un- identified flying object." The strange experience hap.
pened two years ago and he claims the lights were aLso seen by other Eeople on the hill who came from France, Germany and even China, Stephen, who is married with a
daughter, has been a keen UFO spotter for several years and after the Silbury sighting he contacted
other clubs throughout the country to see if there was an ex- planatIOn for the lights. "No one seems to know what it
was," he said. "I am not saying it came from
another planet or anything like that. It could have been a stealth bomber but we want to know. "Mysterious light triangles are
being spotted all over Europe at the moment and some people are claiming to have seen occupants, It could be one of many things and our new club aims to carry out a very serious effort to sol ve the mystery." Anyone interested in the new
UFO club should ring Stephen on Swindon 729697.

~Shoppers spot UFO over store’s car park SHOPPING at Tesco in Rick- mansworth was an unforgettable experience for a couple who looked up to see a craft "the size of a hundred aeroplanes" over- head. The myslerious craft, shaped like an eye and covered n lights, appeared in the sky as Mr Barry Clarke and his wife, Carol, were loading groceries into their car on Monday evening.
II flew al the height of a helicopter but was, Mrs Clarke said "much, much larger". The even more bizarre twisl to the
tale came when the Clarkes looked al other shoppers expect ng them to be in similar awe of the unidentified flying object.
.
In a scene reminiscent of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mr and Mrs Clarke found themselves the only people to have noticed the giant ship. While the couple craned their necks
to the skies, olher shoppers wailed impatiently to leave the car park. Then, as they tried to follow the
ship while it continued its flight, the pail could not believe olher motorists In Riverside Drive were not stopping to watch. Mrs Clarke, 42, who runs a card
shop in Buckinghamshire and has never seen a UFO before, said: "I--- ------.__.______~T.,_ ___

astonishing footage, which has only been seen by a handful of generals and officials, in a Hollywood ven<ion of the story. Spielberg says: "I’m a UFO enthusiast and I’ve known about this secret for years.

e Ralph No~ s SpeaksEditors note: When Dave ’Clarke & myself were putting together Phantoms of the Sky in 1989 we asked Ra.lph Noyes to answer sundry questions which we thought were germane to the topic of UFOs, the government & the Rendlesham cas~. Our publishers cut out about 90% of the material Ral ph kindly supplied us wi th so we are prin t i ng it in full here. Al though Ralph has made grea t con t r i bu t ions to the UK UFO communi ty over the years t~ere is still a great deal of suspicion about him because . of his previously held . posi tion. I have had several ufologists, some of t,em well-known and published, who have seriously confided in me that they think Ralph is a government ’mole’ working to subvert ufology! "Above Top Secret" or "Just Doing His Job"? This is what Ralph has to say. Make your own mind up.
who!,I reached a fairly senior grade in the MOD and had access to
whatever documents were necessary to my responsibilities. These included TOP SECRET material generally, as well as many other papers of a still more restricted character (eg. operational orders specifying how and when the Prime Minister would be advised to
’,~fonsider the British response to a nucleqr threat to this country.) ,):7 But I r mal sop e r f e c t 1 y c I ear t hat m 11 C h e 1 s e ~.] as go i n g 0 n . in the vY MOD which I didn’t kno~v about because it wasn’t relevant to the jobs I
I ~~ was doing: for example, I remained as ignorant as the rest of us about G./’ \ that "anthrax island" in the Hebrid~s which my colleagues in the Navy . Department succ2ssfully kept under wraps for ahout four decades until

quite rightly - ever told me.) If somebody above me had wished to conceal from me that the British or other governments were in touch with extraterr~strials, they could certainly have done so. But 1’m pretty sure that I would have ,got some intimation of this, even if concern for my career prospects might have persuaded me not to enquire further! But I never had the faintest whiff of any such thing.
More important than my own testimony, however, is the fact that Admiral of the Fleet the Lord Hill-Norton, who was the Chief of the Defence Staff from 1971 to 1973, never had the smallest indication of ET contact. He was the Defence ’supremo’; nothing of Defence signifi cance \-lOuld have been kep t from him; I I m clear from several disc11ssions with him that he knew nothing of any extraterrestrial approach up to the date of his retirement in the mid-1970s. Those who still wish to disbelieve me or Lord Hill-Norton (on the grounds that we are either deceitful or ignorant - or perhaps merely incompp.tent!) will have to consider how the supposed nET fai thfuls" in Whi ten.all have managed (for four decades?) to secure government funds, Whitehall office space, telephones, s ecre tarie s, was te-paper baske t sand tota i secrecy wit~out so much as a word to the rest of us or any diffi~ulty with the Comptroller and Audi tor General, who keeps tfuitehall accollTItable for every penny spent.

Three Huntingdon teenagers, StelTan Head, Matthew Crawley and Scott Burrows, sponed two bright, slow moving lights whilst standing in Kent Road on the Ox- moor estate.

Georgina Hale, of Ram~y, said she saw a very bright shooting star thaI night as she travelled from. St Ives to Wyton.
"It was," she said. "the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen a few before, but nothing like this." But a more down-to-eanh

Modern methods enable these sightings of UFO’s to be photo- graphed, and Mrs Fry had many slides showing strange flying objects, not only resembling flying saucers but also cigar shaPf!d and even spherical "sitings" which hed been photo- graphed in many different areas of the world as far apart as Switlerland,S.A. merica, France and In Finland and also in the U.K~ ".-yo.

LOOK OUT: Stella and Jack Hamilton say they spotted a UFO near their home in Wilsden
A close encounterin the skJ al nighl
A NIGHT’S stargazing turned into a close encounter for pensioner Stella Hamilton, Mrs Hamilton, 66, of Wellington
Road, Wilsden, today relived her strange experience with a UFO. She called the Telegraph & Argus after
reading about an Unidentifted Flying Object seen over Thackley earlier this month. The pensioner described how she went
to her bedroom window after hearing the drone of engines - and saw a cigar. shaped object with portholes, twinkling with lights and gliding across the sky towards Oxenhope and Haworth.
"It seemed to be saucer.shaped and like nothing I have ever Seen before," she
by L VNNE ROBERTSON said. "All the lights on the object went out when a plane flew overhead, towards Leeds.Bradford Airpul’l." She ran to fetch husband Jack, 80, and
the couple were both able tu see the craft clearly when its lights came back on after the plane had passed. "When we got a better look, it appeared
more cigar-shaped with lights running across the n’fiddle," she said. Mrs Hamilton said friends had scan-cd
with disbelief when she told them of her encounter but changed their minds when they read of the experience of computer operator, Jane Moorhouse, in the T&A. Jane. 52. of Thackley View. Thackley,
described how she and husband Derek watch a 20ft.!ong grey torpedo-shaped object float about 150ft above their home earlier this month. UFO expert David Barclay uf Shipley,
said there had been about 20 similar. sightings in 20 years, all of which remained unexplained.
A spokesman for Leeds.Bradford Air- port said nothing unusual had been reported in the area at the time of both sightings.
Philip Mantle, of the Batley-based Independent UFO Network, said there had been a number of similar sightings nationwide in December - including two in the Bradford area.
Anyone with similar sightings can contact Philip on 0924 444049.

I am the sort of person who is never happier than when trying to believe eleven impossible things before breakfast. To prove I am flexible as well as daft, I decided to watch the soberly named Inter. national lLFO Sensation, an hour-long documentiry buried, but not quite deeply enough, in BBC2’s mid-afternoon schedul. ing on 4 January. At one level it was a marvellously wacky programme. UFOs and their inhabitants are apparently not immune to fashion. Little green men are out and small grey citizens with no ears, no eyebrows and three to four digits per hand are m. But the Extra Terrestrials were not the
stars of the show. I was riveted by the solemn, earnest, glassy-eyed witnesses re. telling in monotone their close encounters. Of course, conspiracy theories abounded and they are very contagious. It flicked through my mind that most of the wit- nesses seemed to have unnecessarily large ears, but .1 got a grip on myself and addressed the underlying mystery of the programme - the unexplained absence of any real production values. The pro- gramme had been bought in, with licence- payers’ money. It felt like schools broad- casting - by which I do not mean somc- thing made for schoolchildren hut some- thing made by the Lower Fourth as an alternativc to macrame. There were some unforgettable mo-
ments, however. The subject-matter was more than frivolous. Most of the witnesses _______. ~___ _ . __L" .. .
were dull but completely plausible. Just occasionally, someone would begin nor- mally enough and then go into orbit. My favourite was a chap who remarked in a throw-away line that - of course - the Third Reich was in cahoots with the Extra Terrestrials. Everything from the fruity to the fairly obvious was seamlessly joined by an invisible transatlantic humanoid. No statements were challenged. Apparently the good ETs have issued warnings against bad ETs but have issued no guidelines about appal1ing documentaries.
If you cannot get lively television out of alien intelligences poised to take over the world, chopping up American cattle and irradiating everyone they come into con- tact with, what hope has a Television History Workshop production on the poli- tics of education policy over the last 50 years? Answer - every hope. From Butler to Baker: education for Ilvlng (BBC2, 4 January) was excellent. The first of a

Booth, then watched the UFO from Surgeys Lane.
Michael said he thoughl it was between 2,000 and 3,000 feet up, II disappeared when the lights just flickered oul.
People are also reponed to have seen the three-tier UFO above Duke Street in Daybrook al about the same time.
Michael, who works for the city council, said: "You hear aboul these things and I am quite scepticaJ, bull

COMPUTER operator Jane Moorhouse had a close encounter in her back garden after a 20ft-long UFO swept overhead. Mrs Moorhouse, 52, watched n amazement as the grey
torpedo-shaped object floated silently over her Thackley home and down the Aire Valley. But the mystery object was
not picked up on radar at Leeds-Bradford Airport, which had only one flight in the area, and no other sight. ings were reported. Mrs Moorhouse and hus.
band Derek were watching TV at home in Thackley View in the afternoon when they saw the Unidentified Flying Object through their window. "We went outside and stood
watching it for about two to three minutes as it went over," she said.
"It was about 150ft up and had no wings or anything like that. It looked like a plane without wings. We couldn’t work out what it was and we
by ALUN PALMERstill have no idea." Bradford is known by UFO
experts as the spaceship equivalent of Piccadilly Cir. cus with scores of sightings on the hills and moors. UFO writer and researcher
David B rclay. of Prospect Walk, Shipley, said the same object had been spotted about 20 times in the past 20 years. "] have seen it myself. It is
very strange thai in all this time, nobody has come up with an explanation." . DId you see Ihe Thackley Torpedo? II so, rIng the Tele- graph & Argutl UFO Hotline on Bradlord 729511 ext 203.
