|
A BARNSLEY man is recovering after a close encounter with a flying
|
|
saucer!
|
|
|
|
Mr. Joh Brook fled in fright after the UFO turned a blinding white
|
|
fluorescent type beam on him. Mr. Brook, of Berby Street, Barnsley,
|
|
felt a tingling sensation throughout his body for the few seconds
|
|
he was transfixed by the light coming from beneath the oval shaped,
|
|
60 feet wide object.
|
|
|
|
He has spoken for the first time this week about the experience which
|
|
left him ashen-faced. The UFO was hovering at a height of about 50
|
|
feet in the night sky somewhere in the direction of the Co-op Dairy
|
|
in Summer Lane. The object had flashing red and purple lights on
|
|
its side.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Brook, an unemployed technical illustrator, said the close encounter
|
|
took place at about 10:50 p.m. on a recent Friday.
|
|
|
|
He told the Chronicle: "I was on my way home from the pub when I saw
|
|
the object in the sky. From where I was standing, it looked as though
|
|
it was spinning on it axis. Suddenly, this bright white light with
|
|
a fluorescent tint shone down on me. I had to close my eyes, it was
|
|
so bright.
|
|
|
|
"I felt this tingling sensation all over and through my body and the
|
|
hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
|
|
|
|
"I just turned and ran as fast as I could towards home. I know that
|
|
people will suggest that either I was drunk or just another nutter
|
|
but I had only drunk about three pints that night because I am unemployed
|
|
and that was all I could afford."
|
|
|
|
When Mr. Brook got home, he and his wife Josephine watched the UFO
|
|
from their garden before it disappeared. Mrs. Brook said: "When John
|
|
got home he was out of breath and his face was as white as a sheet.
|
|
I have known him for about six years and I have never seen him so
|
|
frightened."
|
|
|
|
This was the third time that Mr. Brook has had an encounter with a
|
|
UFO. His first sighting was in the early 1970s and the second, which
|
|
took place last year while he was with his neighbour, Mr. Richard
|
|
Shirt, was reported to the Royal Air Force.

Reports of an unidentified flying object hovering over a Birmingham
|
|
hospital are being investigated by UFO experts.
|
|
|
|
The 400ft long by 60 ft wide cigar shaped object was spotted by staff
|
|
at Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield during a night shift.
|
|
|
|
Three nurses and a doctor who were taking a tea break all saw the
|
|
silent object hovering about 800ft up.
|
|
|
|
The matter has been reported to UFO-Studies Investigations, an amateur
|
|
organization funded by British Aerospace, and the sightings are being
|
|
investigated.
|
|
|
|
Mr. John Hurley, of the Midland branch of the organization said:
|
|
"Ninety-five per cent of all sightings can be explained away after
|
|
investigation as an aircraft an airship, balloon, helicopter or even
|
|
a bright star, but not in this case."
|
|
|
|
He added: "Birmingham airport said they spotted something on the radar."

A Forest Row woman still can not believe her eyes after sighting what
|
|
she can only describe as a UFO.
|
|
|
|
Last Thursday evening just after midnight Mrs. Penny Crowder was leaving
|
|
Ursula and Tom Scratchly's house in Post Horn Lane, Forest Row. Before
|
|
getting into her car Mrs. Crowder looked up at the clear night sky
|
|
and saw a glowing orange ball with a pale orange aura surrounding
|
|
it move across the sky from west over the Royal Ashdown golf course.
|
|
|
|
Thinking she might be imagining things she called out to her friend
|
|
Penny and they walked up the lane to get a better view. The two women
|
|
were so astounded that they asked Penny's husband Tom to confirm what
|
|
they were seeing.
|
|
|
|
"It was a fiery colour and looked as though it was lit up in some
|
|
way." said Mrs. Crowder. "We were just incredulous, you couldn't relate
|
|
it to anything because you had never seen anything like it," she said.
|
|
|
|
The three stood watching the UFO for about ten minutes as it progressed
|
|
noiselessly to the east and out of sight.
|
|
|
|
Looking for a rational explana-tion for what they had witnessed, they
|
|
telephoned flight control at Gatwick. Gatwick said nothing had showed
|
|
up on radar but asked them to file a detailed description and a diagram.
|
|
|
|
They considered all the other possibilities, a hot air balloon, a satellite,
|
|
but none of these fitted the description of what they had seen. They
|
|
sat and talked until three in the morning about the strange fiery object.
|
|
|
|
"It gave you an eery feeling as it came straight towards you" said Mrs.
|
|
Crowder, who has never before spent time puzzling over the arguments
|
|
for and against the existence of UFOs. "When you started thinking
|
|
about it you got a bit frightened," she said,"I had the spooks all
|
|
a the way home."
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Crowder is not the first to be "spooked" by ball-shaped objects
|
|
flying over the Ashdown Forest. In the late 1970s a spate of sightings
|
|
over the forest exactly match the description of what Mrs. Crowder
|
|
and the Scratchlys saw last Thursday evening.
|
|
|
|
In April 1978 local police launched a search of the area after a Nutley
|
|
woman saw what she called a "ball of fire" hurtle past her window.
|
|
She then saw bits break off the object and fall directly on to the
|
|
Forest. At least six people in the Forest witnessed it, and on that
|
|
night firemen were called to put out fires in two areas of the forest.
|
|
|
|
News in Focus would be interested to hear from anyone else who saw
|
|
the Thursday night fireball.
