British Police Go Public on UFO Encounters
Sunday Independent, London, by Jason Bennetto, November 22 1998
A GROUP of retired and serving police officers are risking ridicule by coming
forward to tell all about their alleged encounters with UFOs. More than 20
officers have responded to an advertisement in Police Review inviting them to
recount their close encounters of the third kind. These include stories of
alien abduction and gigantic blocks of light hovering above their squad cars.
At least two former officers claim to have photographic evidence of their
meetings with extra-terrestrials. Their extraordinary stories are to be
collected in a new book Policing the UFO, to include interviews with at least
20 former and serving police officers and as many as 200 recorded incidents
involving police from around the world. Many of the examples from the second
category will be taken from previously unreleased Ministry of Defence papers.
The book's author, Irene Bott, has chosen to concentrate on police officers
because of their relative position of trust in society. "They are less likely
to be written off as cranks, loonies or anoraks," she explained. Others may,
however, think they are boldly going beyond the call of duty and risking
ridicule and professional suicide. For this reason, many officers appear to
have waited until they have left the police service before speaking out,
although others who contacted the researchers feel so strongly about what they
have witnessed that they are prepared to be named.
The reported encounters include:
- An officer who claims to have been abducted and medically examined by aliens
in the 1980s. The former officer, who has yet to give the full details of his
case, is said to have been out driving when he experienced disturbances to his
vehicle followed by memory loss. He later recalled, via hypnosis, being taken
aboard a space craft and examined by aliens.
- A police officer says he took five photographs of a UFO while on duty in the
West Midlands in the 1980s, but that the MoD confiscated them.
- A policeman and woman were out on patrol in the countryside and saw lights
and a cylindrical object in the sky.
- An officer who saw a disc shaped object hovering 20ft above the road.
- A police officer who, in the 1970s while on duty, saw a wedge-shaped object
in the sky that was about four storeys high and 50ft long.
- Declassified MoD papers from the 1950s to the 1970s that report
investigations into reported sightings by police officers and incidents at
military bases. The files name police officers involved and allegedly include
accounts of helicopters being sent after UFOs.
There have also been several reports from officers in Sussex - one as
recently as last month - an area which is considered a fruitful zone for UFO
sightings. While the majority of the police officers who have been in contact
are retired, some are serving and include an Inspector.
Ms Bott said: "In a court of law the person who is most believed is usually a
policeman. Also, these people are out day and night observing things around
them so they are excellent witnesses. A UFO is simply an unidentified flying
object, it's not little green men. Many officers do not want to talk about it
openly while they are still serving because they can kiss their promotion
chances goodbye." So far she has been in touch with about 20 serving and
former officers - two serving officers contacted her a couple of weeks ago
and claim to have seen UFOs in the past month.
Nick Redfern, an author of several books on UFOs, who is assisting Ms Bott
with her project, added: "These people are willing to fly in the face of
potential ridicule, which shows how strongly they feel about what they have
witnessed - these are strong, credible witnesses."
One of those to come forward was former Pc John Hanson. His encounter with a
UFO took place on the evening of 14 June 1995. Mr Hanson, 52, who retired
from the West Midlands police force in 1994, after 27 years service, was at
his home near Redditch, Worcestershire, when he looked out of his bedroom
window.
"I saw a silver pear-shaped ball of light hovering over a tree," he recalled.
"It was about 40ft off the ground, and about 20ft long and 5ft wide.
Immediately opposite was a red cigar-shaped object, about 30ft tall. The pear
ball suddenly moved and there was a piece cut out of it like a wedge of
cheese. It then changed into the shape of a jelly bean and jumped onto the
cigar shaped object. The two objects then fused together, produced a rippling
light and were gone."
He said the whole episode lasted about five minutes and took place at 10.35pm,
and that a similar sighting took place 20 miles away on the same night. "I am
not talking about flying saucers or space men, but an unidentified object -
some form of energy source," he added.
