This is one report that, even after chasing i9t since 1977, I have been unable to find the witnesses involved. The MoD incident book was destroyed after a few years as it was excess paperwork and it would have, at least, confirmed details and the names of the boys.
If anyone has any further information please get in touch.
On the evening of the 9th October, 1974, two 13 year old boys entered the station office of the Ministry of Defence Police at the Central Ordnance Depot, Bicester, Oxfordshire. Both were described as appearing to be in a state of fright. It seems that a “thing”, resembling a large, hunched man, had followed them along the Ploughly Road from the village of Ambrosden towards Lower Arncott; a distance of a quarter mile (0.8 km).

This “thing” was accompanied by a light in the sky; neither the object nor the entity made any noise. The boys were so shocked that they had to be treated by the MoD police officers; a dog and handler were sent to check around but saw nothing. A doctor later diagnosed one of the boys as suffering from severe shock.
According to Contact (UK) there “seems to be far more to this case” and though they had contact details they carried out no thorough investigation and despite by association with Lord Clancarty - 8th Lord Clancarty, Brinsley le Poer Trench founded the organisation in 1967- that was it; I could not get access to the information to carry out an investigation.
Both boys would now be in their 50’s so there is hope that it might be possible to trace them and find out what happened.
