In July 1965, late at night couple and their
baby son were making an overnight journey when they pulled over for a cigarette
break at a rest area near
It was during this break in their journey that the couple noticed behind a nearby dry-stone wall, an intense red light which appeared lens or domed shaped. Within this light were seen three small creatures which seemed to be giving off a slight green luminescence. The entities were described as having large, round staring eyes and a long nose that looked like a "small elephant trunk" with a mouth that appeared as just a slit. Their heads were large and almost a turnip shape and their bodies were round with hands with digits that were not seen clearly. No definite muscle tone or bone structure was seen, and they did not appear to be wearing any clothing. Two of the three entities had their arms held out in front of them as though gesturing.
The entities appeared to be some 15 feet from the car and in front of the wall when the object's brilliance was noticed. It was reported that the couple became frightened and drove off without seeing the entities depart. They later felt silly for reacting in a frightened manner as they had gotten the impression that the entities had meant no harm.
That, sadly, is it. There was
no accompanying illustration of the entities that had been shown to the
witnesses and approved and none of the object seen. We do not even know where they stopped; Milnthorpe is a
village in hilly country and there is the B5282 road and A5 running around it.
If this had happened in
The following are the facts as presented by
David Sankey, BUFORA
“The Sunday News and Star newspaper, Carlisle, ‘The Close Encounter kept secret for 31 years’, related an account investigated by BUFORA representative David Sankey, on behalf of a couple who were driving along the A6, between Beetham and Milnthorpe, Cumbria. They were forced to pull in, due to bad weather, at 10.00 am, one winter’s morning in 1965. after a few seconds they noticed what appeared to be a luminous red dome, its lower half obscured by a dry stone wall, about 25yds away from their car, next to which were stood: ‘three slightly luminous small figures standing in the front of the wall, slowly making their way towards us. Two appeared to have their arms outstretched, while the third had its arms at the side. They had turnip-shaped heads, with round staring eyes. As the creatures approached us, we panicked and drove on’”
I did message Sankey but there was no response -something that is quite common in Ufology. Thefollowing illo was by myself to help visualise the event.
