Slnee Christmas there have been strange "go in that town, and at first glanee it would seem that UFOs are lnolved in U not all of these aerial mysteries! Arthur ShutUewood, variously described as an editor and reporter, listed some oJ the .occurrenees, although his coverag was far from detailed. To wit: At 6:15 a. m. on Christmu Day, Mrs Madge Bye, -.year-old mother of three, was walking to early moming serviee at Christ Church when she beeame aware of a "weird crackling" above her head accompanied by a highpltcbed whine." Suddenly, and quite inexplicably, Mrs. was burled against the churchyard "pinned there as if by invisible fingers of sound," she said. She saw noth ing but felt "sickening blows raining on my head and shoulders", and the nape of her neck felt "deathly cold as though gripped in an icy hand." She fell to the ground in shock, screaming for help, and finally others heard her and rushed out of the church. They took her inside and . helped her to a seat. She sat through the ~emainder of the service 'jelly-legged. At exactly the same time that Mrs. Bye 1 first beard lhe thing", (dubbed by. Shuttlewood), Head Postmaster Roger . Rump and his wife were awakened in their home nearby by a ferocious buffet- ing on their roof. Rump said, "The ceil ing shook. It wu juat as though 5,000 ttles on our roof were beinr rattled and picked off by some terrific foree. Then a frantic scrambling sound as if the tiles , were being hurriedly replaced." What impressed Mr. and Mrs. Rump throu~bl out the experience was the fact that there was a "queer rasping or crackling, a I strange droning tone behind it." The nobta lasted a total of only about a minutes prior to the experience of the Rumps and Mrs. Bye, a young couple, who requested anonymity, were wakened by the barkin and whimpering of their dog outaide in the the garden. This at 8:12 a . m., according to their cloek. They sent their daughter Josie out to see what was wrong with the dog, and, hurrying to the garden in her robe,. the 9-year-old found the animal cowering in a corner of a woodshed, whimpering. ing nothing wrong, Josle petted him, him and started back into the bouse via the back door. Josie reached the door there came a "weird, crackling and a high whine" and she was "battered down" by something she could only hear, but not see. "I felt what I thought was an ice cold sponge on the back of my neck", the child reported. "My shoulders ached and my bead was jerked forward and down. I struggled and screa111ed and managed to stumble into the house." Her escape Into the bouse seemed to break the hold "the thing" bad on her. In one of the same articles with the foregoing information, Shuttlewood notes that Rev. P. Graham, the vicar of Heytes burynot, and h b wife Patricia and their three children, Nigel, 12, Richard, 11, and Ruth, 8, all saw a brightly glowing. cfg:ar-shaped object which remained in the night sky over Warminster for 20 ~buttlewood nelected to men lion a date or time. Because of the proximity of the mili tary and governmental laboratories, it was suggested by some in the Warmin ster area that the phenomena was the result of new devices being tested in the area. However, authorities represent ing these installations stated that there had been no eurrent testings of any new aircraft or other military or scientific ob- David C. Holton, a botanist, geologist and biologist, is one of the residents of Warminster who thinks the strange mani fcstations are extraterrestrial in nature. He told Shuttlewood of a flock of pigeons 1 killed suddenly and mysteriously in night, with no explanation.

He bad taken his camera u his . sister had aaked to bonow it. He shut the door behind him, and saw the "thing". As it new fast and low over the south of Warminster, he said be could just make out the unusual shape. ~ It made no noise. Faulkner said be got . his camera free and aimed. The line of flight was too last to follow, so he held . tween July and September, 1965. On the ~ night of Jyly z, five people spotted a ~ "fiery objeet" alowing iD tbe southern sky after a heavy rain. Mr. and Mn. Harold Horlock were among the wit nesses. l'tfrs. Horlock said Jt was fright ening, that it was hazy at first, then seemed to be climbing and sharpened into focus as it climbed. Then lt appeared as two red hot poken horizontally ori ented, one above the other. "It was as plain and as bright as could be," Mr. Hor lock told the press, .. It stopped still in the sky for at least 10 minutes." Colin Hampton, 18, and his friend Michael Fraser, 20, also reported viewing the ob- ject. Others reported hearing loud high pitched noises overhead . The most recent manifestation of the thing or things troubling Warminster took place at 1:55 o. m. on Tuesday, Sep tember 7, when more than a hundred people claimed they were awakened sud denly by what tbey described as a "tre- mendous explosion". About 30 residents, mostly mea, told reporters that they went outside in their nightclothes tt Investigate the sound, and saw a 2~foot high orange-colored mushroom of smoke with a glowing core in its center. It waa rising into the air. Other residents, too investigate, reported that their rooms were flooded with orange light .. changed night into day" . One resident who was quoted, Mr. Bill Curtis, said he was used to firings from the army range four miles away, but he and others noted that the firings held about once a week were never like the latest blast and that firings had mwer been held early in the morning. "It has no comparison to this," he said, "our house was like a ship rocking in a big . Other rP.sidents reported shattered windows as a result oi the "explosion."

Faulkner said: "I didn't dream I'd get anything on film at all. It shook me rigid when 1 saw \ what came out of it all. " Faulkner then sent the photograph (after developing) to the Warminster , Journal, thinking the editor (Shuttle-I wood) would scoff. But he didn't. The I camera is a Halina 35mm., and was fo cused on infinity at 1/~th second. f The September 11, 1965 issue of the Dally Mirror presented another photo-1 graph purportedly taken by Roy Coombs 33, of Musjid-road, Battersea, London, o~ Monday, September 6th. Coombs claimed be was cycling when he saw the object, 1 jumped oU his bike and quickly focused the camera he was carrying. He took four pictures. He was located on Portsmouth road, jl1$t south of Surbiton, Surrey. He ; was on his way to Kingston upon the Thames to take photos of boats on the I river, he said "Suddenly I saw a glin~ in the sky. At flnt I thought it was a shoot- ing star or perhaps an aircraft crashing. Then I saw this shape, moving very fast, which seemed to skim acrosa the sky from the East." Coomb!t says he doesn't claim the thing 'as a flying saucer, but wants to know what it is. The object closely re- sembles the bell-shaped "Adamski-type UFO" or "flying saucer" photographs which are generally considered, by s cien- tific investigators, to be spurious to say the least. At this writin~. there is n o further word concerning either the Coomb5 or Faulkner photographs and if and when permission is secured to present them in this bulletin, if they warrant aucb ex poaure, they will be pre1eoted witll doeumentaUoa. ttoCASE ( D!FO&\fA TION ONLY) .
