OLD CE ENCOUNTER BRINGS 1979 UFO PHOTO |
|
Following last week's article about a UFO sighting above Norfolk Road, The Hunts Post has been inundated with tales of mysterious shapes in the sky.
One reader, John Bray, even sent in this picture, of a close encounter believed to have taken place near the Eaton Oak pub in Eaton Socon.
Mr Bray, who lives in Eaton Socon, claims the photograph was taken by a friend of his in 1979. The friend kept the photograph to himself at first, fearing no one would believe him, but eventually confided in Mr Bray.
Mr Bray claims to have sent the photograph to a "UFO research centre" in Norfolk, who examined the image and could not find "anything wrong with it" to indicate that it wasn't genuine.
As well as Mr Bray's new evidence, the mystery of the UFO sighting in Norfolk Road has become a little clearer.
Sue Plows, of Lammas Gardens, Huntingdon, is the sister of the man involved in the sighting. She told The Hunts Post: "It all happened early one morning. We knew Dave wasn't making it up, we could tell. There were other people around who had seen the same things, and the dog - Pippa - was ill for days afterwards."
David, the fourth child of six, committed suicide in 1991 after a marriage breakdown.
Another reader, Alan Williams from Wyton, suggested that the markings on the side of the craft may have read VRWCON, rather than VAWCON.
Mr Williams says that this could be the registration number of an aircraft from Sarawak, which is now part of Malaysia.
Other readers to contact The Hunts Post included Sawtry woman Linda Ashton, who claimed her family had seen two silver discs fly over their house in Hull in 1976. Mrs Ashton said: "They were there one minute, gone the next. You tend not to make too much of it in case people think you are round the bend."
Eynesbury resident Gina wrote of an experience she had while living in Duxford in the 1970s. She recalls a "bluey-mauve" light enveloping her bedroom, her son, then 18, being scared by humming bright lights in a field.
Gina wrote: "If the spaceships do exist they are very intelligent. Does the intelligence sector of the Government know more than it will ever let on?

A researcher is trying to unravel a Huntingdonshire UFO mystery that has just been uncovered after more than 30 years.
It took place in November, 1976, in the skies above Huntingdon.
A man, who gave his address as Norfolk Road, had been out walking his dog when he spotted an object in the sky. According to a letter, it was to be his 'close encounter'.
UFO researcher John Hanson, 61, has uncovered the letter, which was sent to the Ministry of Defence, detailing the unidentified flying object experience.
"It seems this gentleman had been taking his dog for a walk in the Sapley Playing Fields area at about 6.20am on November 5," Mr Hanson said. "As he made his regular walk, he came across a most unusual object hovering above the ground with the letters VAWCON marked on the side."
Mr Hanson, a retired police officer, claims that an RAF investigator was dispatched from RAF Wyton to interview the man about the sighting.
The man, who only wished to be identified as Dave, was said to have told the official: "I saw a dome-shaped structure with coloured lights on the top, hovering above the playing field. It had a telescopic probe which appeared from its metallic dome structure. I was petrified and ran home."
The man also drew a sketch of the craft.
The documents have only come to light recently, following investigations by Mr Hanson, who lives in Worcestershire.
Mr Hanson, who has been researching the paranormal since his retirement from the police force in 1995, said: "This case is one of the most unusual I have discovered during my investigations. I've got an open mind about the existence of aliens but there does seem to be lots of evidence - and a lot of hoaxes as well.
"I would be delighted to hear from any Hunts Post readers who might be able to shed some light on the incident or help me find the man involved."
George Robbins, 77, chairman of the Norfolk Road Residents Association, has been living in the road since 1973, but believes it has always been UFO-free.
"I used to know the chap involved but I can't recall anything about a UFO sighting," he said. "UFOs aren't much of a concern, to be honest. We've got more problems with parking and littering."
A police spokesman added: "We do get some calls about UFOs. We had one last Christmas from a woman in Fenland who had seen bright lights above her house.
"We wondered whether it might have been Santa in his sleigh."
There was another report of a UFO sighting on the Oxmoor in 1999, by a resident claiming to have seen a dark shape fly over his house.
The object was described as 'an equilateral triangle with the top cut off'. No action was taken.
