UFO talk at Woodbridge Community Hall Suffolk

Chuck Halt Colonel, USAF (Ret)
John:

I read your first two volumes of Haunted Skies and enjoyed them immensely. The amount of detail and the necessary research must have been enormous. I would highly recommend both books to anyone interested in understanding the just how often we are being visited. For those that think our experience at Bentwaters was a single event have a surprise. I look forward to volume Three.

UFO lectures Woodbridge CommunityHall Suffolk
On Saturday the 10^th of September we drove near enough 200 miles down to the above venue, where we met up with our friend, David Bryant and his charming wife Linda in the hall, not forgetting their friend Paul.

After having a bite to eat at the local pub and glass of tonic water we made our way back to the venue. Chris Pennington Brenda Butler's former partner

The hall begins to fill!....................

Brenda Butler was the first to address the audience.

She ran through the events that had taken place at the airbase and how she and Dot hadbecome involved in attempting to find an answer to the mystery that still eludes us to this present day. Her ‘stall’ also showed many photographs of anomalies which have been taken by her over the years whether this has anything to do with the actual event in 1980 is a matter of conjecture.

Peter Parish followed her and presented many photographs taken in the forest showing the strange indentations found in the forest floor (attributed at the time by the attending Police Officers as rabbit scrapings!)

That man again on the left and Peter Parish!

His stall had many photographs of marks he had found on the trees in

what has been designated ‘area one’ as shown in Georgina Bruni's book ’You cant tell the People’

Peter has also built a scale model replete with three silvery suited figures and a disc shaped object that was seen in the forest by a witness who was warned off by the military following the event having taken place. Incredibly Peter even brought the trunk of a tree into the hall as part of the evidence accumulated by him to show that the marks on the trees in Area one had been caused by something crashing down into the trees. (The trees are now long gone)

I followed Peter and discussed the problem we were having trying to get the Press interested in featuring our work, despise their promises, and showed the audience many news paper reports relating to UFO sightings that had in the main been published very much ‘tongue in cheek’ with their banner gabbing headlines which in my opinion denigrated the subject of what UFOs were all about.

I played the tape of James Salandin UFO sighting in 1954, and was going to play the recording made with the ex Police Officer from Wellingborough who was threatened and intimidated after he reported the incident to the MOD. But I didn’t as there were some young children in the audience and I didn’t want them to hear any swearing,which was frustrating. I also decided not to include other information which I thought they may have found frightening. I will include this information on the next blog.

Some images of anomalies were then shown and also the stones recovered from Rendlesham Forest.We then showed a short clip of film of the UFO we saw on the 27.12.2000, as we were unable toplay the full length version,due to a techincal problem. One gentleman thought it was a Chinook until he changed his mind! after viewing further parts of the film.

I was disappointed that nobody bought the books which were on sale, at least four people wanted to buy them but they said they hadn’t got any money! But we felt our commitment to producing the books and getting ourselves known to the audience was paramount.

David Bryant followed me and gave a polished performance as good as the rocks and other meteorite /space rocks memobarellia he sells. He is the sort of man that is a pleasure to listen to with a really good sense of humour, If he had burst out into song it would be have surprised me.!

This is Matt Lyons who drove down from Tunbridge Wells to deliver a short but interesting talk about BUFORA, and their aims. He is a very nice man and a pleasure to know.

After David came Larry Warren who needed no introduction, he was cheered and whistled on to stage reminiscent of a gladiator entering the gladiatorial ring, he is very popular and his reputation precedes him. He spoke about ground already familiar to us, and gave a very good talk despite a croaky throat. At about 11.30pm the evening came to an end and we left………….

Dot Street

Thanks to Lionel Beer a number of mint condition Skycrash books were on sale we bought some and asked Brenda and Dot to sign them up, what a unique opportunity this was! Mark Doulton also turned up from the South End Group? Had a natter with him….If I have forgotten anyone else sorry! It was thoroughly enjoyable evening and thanks go to Goordy Dave and Brenda for making this come true!

From Lizzie re blog.."Just wanted to say a couple of things re thr Blog: am thoroughly enjoying it! The work you've done is amazing! Incredible how much information you have both managed to collect. Anyway, wanted to say so and don't have an email for either of you, hence it being on here"

Mike is the originator and writer of the British strip cartoon: ‘Ben's World’ and, most recently, the co-author of ‘The Zen of Ben’, a cartoon guide to Life and the Universe. He is also the author of the book ‘Does It Rain In Other Dimensions?’, which is written from the perspective of a lifetime of personal experience with visitors from off-world, both as an investigator and contactee. This book offers a retrospective and a current look at the alien abduction scenario and includes the author’s amazing abduction incident at Area 51, Nevada, and DNA symbols for consciousness change, given to him by Light Beings.

Mike will be talking about some of the topics from his book: a brief look at the early years spent in Warminster, the missing time experienced at Area 51 in 2004 and the Light Beings experience and the symbols given to him. The lecture will also include amazing photographic images of light phenomena captured near his home earlier this year.

BUFOG Chairman Dave will also be speaking of some astounding similarities discovered between Mike's symbols and those from another case he has previously investigated. This new evidence has some amazing implications and has never been spoken of publically before.

UFO reports from Haunted Skies.

Another photo from the Cradle Hill Sky-watch. Strange grouping of lights/raindrops seen on this photo (bearing in mind Dawn told of sighting three small lights while on the top of Cradle Hill). People used to tell me about the orange orbs they had seen running along the tracks in Rendlesham Forest years ago - I used to smile and humour them (!) until I saw them for myself and even photographed them. But of course I am told by other people that it is all in the mind!

A still from a UFO sighted over the Woodbridge area in 2004. A woman UFO researcher sent the film back to the witness and said it was of no value!

An email from Debbie of the Worcester Life (she is interested in featuring us and the Volumes of Haunted Skies):

Dear John-We are starting to put together the local Christmas gift guide together, which features local craftsmen and artists, to encourage people to stay local when they do their Christmas shopping and the editor has passed on your details to me as she thought it might be nice to feature the first three Volume of Haunted Skies if possible.Therefore if you were able to send me some information about the volumesand some high res images of the covers in the next week or so (we work quite a long time in advance!) it would be great.Any help would be gratefully received,Debbie

UFO landing Gloucestershire 1994

A married couple was driving along the A419 between Frampton Mansell and the Sapperton turn off at 9.49pm 15^th March 1994 heading towards Cirencester when they noticed a white light descending through the sky which they took to be a meteorite. Their curiosity aroused they decided to pull up to have a closer look at a point where they thought the ‘object’ had come down“After stopping we were amazed to see in a field too our left at a distance of about 80-120yards a triangular white light close to some green lights which were darting about rapidly but becoming stationary from time to time, illuminating the ground with a pinky purple light which appeared to be about two feet above the ground. I got out of the car leaving my wife still in the vehicle and continued to keep observations for a few more minutes, during which time I saw green lights with conical beams illuminating the ground and moving about erratically I was not parked very safely, I decided to drive around to the other part of Sapperton Road north of the A419 which took me about six minutes when I reached that point I looked out and saw the green conical beams were still there going on and off. I then reported the matter to the Police at Cirencester at 10.20pm they said they would send a mobile unit to have a look “

UFO over Holmfirth

At 4am November 2^nd 1986 a huge cylinder-shaped craft was seen by a number of eyewitnesses hovering in the sky over the Emley Moor TV Transmission mast Holmfirth. Police Officers arrived on the scene at around 4.20am and watched the UFO, which they estimated was hovering at a height of 1,200 feet above the mast showing bright white lights at either end, for several minutes.

An unnamed officer said: "On first seeing the object it was totally static in the sky, not moving in any direction, but appeared to be hovering.” Another said: "It did not move in any direction though it appeared to wobble and distort.” It is thought nine people saw the UFO, which appeared to be changing colour from red to green before it flew off in an easterly direction.

Officers reported the sighting to the Civil Aviation Authority, which could offer no explanation. It was confirmed it was not a commercial or private aircraft.(Source: Declassified Ministry of Defence documents./ Wakefield Express City newspaper.)
