I spoke to Kevin Goodman the other day, and wished him
luck at the forthcoming lecture, details of which are as follows:

Kevin has been
described, along with his long time writing partner, Steve Dewey as "The
acknowledged experts on the forgotten slice of UK UFO history that is "The
Warminster Mystery". Unlike most modern researchers, both Steve and Kevin
"were there" during the latter days of the enigma.
Kevin will give
first hand accounts of his own sightings in the area, along with a history of
this most fascinating case. He will also touch upon how he became interested in
the subject, and how, in his mind at least, UFOs have become almost a new
religion to those who have passed religion by.
Kevin's book is
due to be republished by Jon Downes, on the CFZ imprint during July 2012. The
ISBN number is 9781905723928. He will be more than happy to sign any copies
that members bring along. Hopefully, Kevin will have a few copies along with
him for sale at £14.99
BUFOG is proud to
welcome back Kevin for the first time since his talk back in 2008. For those of
you lucky enough to be there the first time round, he will be presenting new
material surrounding Warminster, as well as touching on other aspects of the
UFO subject, so there will be something new for everyone. Chairman Dave Hodrien
will also reminisce about his own UFO sighting which occurred in the area, as
well as present his regular sightings update and related news.
UFO sighting Welling Kent, by Ginette Hobbs. Thanks to Don Ramkin.
This is her account of what
she saw on Sunday morning, from outside her house in Welling, Kent.
First, she sent me a text: sent at 5:11am 2/9/12
"Well that’s strange. A
strange light hovering over tree over school with no sound.
It started to rise up
and made a loud jet like sound. As it went over the school the lights went out
in the building. It kept climbing and then went over my
house. As I am typing this I hear the noise as if it had come back.”
Then she just ended the text
with “oh well night night" so I presume whatever it was didn't appear
again or she definitely would've said.
Don has spoken to her again and this is what she has
to say:
“I arrived home at 4.50
am locked the car and went into the porch. I turned around to lock the porch
door when I noticed a very bright golden light hovering above a tree behind the
Junior School. I turned around to take my shoes off and when I looked back it was
still there. I watched it for about 5 minutes before it moved upwards above the
tree, then made a sound like a roaring jet engine before it slowly started
moving. As it came over the school the lights went off in one of the buildings
(although this could of been on a timer which I am checking out with the
school) It came across the field and over the Infant School before turning and
flying over my house. I looked up and although the sky was still a little dark
I could make out a triangular shape of the craft. It still had the bright light
at the front and red and blue lights on either side of the light and a small
white light at the rear. The noise it made was very loud and I remember
thinking if it was a plane it would have a white under belly and that it
would have been far to low for a jet plane. I went indoors and a couple of
minutes later I heard the craft come back over the house making the roaring jet
sound again.”
We have been really busy preparing for the
London conference , which entails sorting out hundreds, if not thousands, of
assorted orbs and other weird images captured on camera, taken in Rendlesham
Forest over the last 12 years!
We are still looking for people that may wish to help
us with illustrations for the Haunted
Skies books. If you can give any free help, you will get free books and any
advertising for your work added. We look
forward to hearing from you. Hopefully someone can help. A huge vote of thanks though to Steve
Franklin, David Sankey, Wayne, Anne Mary and others for their assistance.
I’ve long been fascinated by the book by George Leonard
called Someone Else Is On Our Moon, and have been just as fascinated by the
image shown in the book of anomalies (see page 20). Due to copyright reasons I cannot show you the picture concerned, unfortunately, but it is well worth a look if you have a chance to see it.
UFO over
Warwickshire
On 5th August, 1996, Carole Corden and Gillian Day were travelling back
from rehearsals held at Stratford-upon-Avon Theatre. Carole:
“We were driving home along the A422, close to the
Stag Public House, at Redhill, on the 5th of August, 1996, a few
miles out of Stratford-upon-Avon, when
we noticed this massive bright light in
the night sky to the North-west, but lost sight of it due to the trees lining the side of
the road.
As we
approached Studley, we were astonished to see the appearance of a triangular
shaped object, showing an orange light at each tip, with what looked like
girders, or lines, covering its outer
surface. All of a sudden it was now hovering over some tall trees on our
left, opposite a caravan sales shop, before moving away for good.
The incident was published in the local Redditch Advertiser newspaper, and attracted a comment made by a
spokeswoman acting for BUFORA, who suggested what the women had seen ‘was
probably a prototype unmanned military vehicle and not extraterrestrial’. This was an explanation rejected by the
witnesses, who spoke live on air to James Whale on Talk Sport about
their sighting. We cannot comment
on the opinions made by BUFORA, but knew from personal research into the locality
that, over the years, there had been other sightings along this stretch of road.
UFO over Llong
Two days a later, at 2.30 am., 7th
of August, 1996, Malcolm Davies, from Mold, North Wales, was driving
home through Llong, when the sky was dramatically lit up, followed by the
appearance of a tadpole shaped object, with an orange tail, seen crossing the
sky:
“It was only a few hundred feet off the ground,
heading in a straight trajectory. To my
amazement, it shot straight upwards into the sky at a right angle and
disappeared from view within a few seconds - hardly the action of a meteorite,
as was later suggested to me. I telephoned Mold Police Station and reported the
matter. The officer on duty there confirmed
he had already received a number of
calls from the public regarding this UFO.
The next morning, I received a telephone call from a woman who told me
she was from the MOD in London, asking for details of what I had seen.”
