Claim of UFO landing at USAF Airbase in England - Aliens seen!
In March 1999 Mrs Sheridan Lane who was responsible for a number of investigations into UFO reports while working for the East Anglia UFO Society run by Ron West was contacted by a John Lewis then aged 51 and living in the village of Stratford-St Mary, Essex.
John told her that he wanted to tell her about something which had happened to him while a child on the 14th of August 1947 - matters that he had never disclosed to his wife and family as the years passed.
John: “I remember we frequently played near the long-range drop tanks and nearby fields and woodlands close to RAF Shipham 3 miles south of Dereham Norfolk. We often saw aircraft jettison some of these tanks, which were about 13feet long. We took them back to the base and were given sweets and chewing gum, sometimes cash.” In the summer of 1947, John then aged 7 tells of being out with friends looking for one of the tanks when “I saw a torpedo shaped object like polished aluminium descending through the sky. I headed for the woods as I had an idea where it was going to land.
When I reached it, I could see it was no tank, for one thing it was three or four times the size of the fuel tanks with what I took to be three or four children, a little taller than me. I approached them but knew there was something odd as this wasn’t any wing tip fuel tank. These weren’t children but very small adults. I decided not to get any closer and made my way back away from them.”
Further description revealed them to be about four feet tall, solidly built across the shoulders wearing either a two piece overall which was tailored, and close fitting the colour of the garments was hard to recall. Perhaps another shade of green - he was not sure. The hair was slicked down and black, or it could have been a glossy black cap of some kind. Noses were not prominent at all and their eyes appeared normal, hands long and dextrous. I’m not sure what to make of this but its worth including although due to lack of space a brief reference can only be made. Should anyone like to see the full article then please contact us.
*This airfield was known as the 44th Bomb Group 8th US Air Force of the ‘Flying eight balls’ and opened in 1942-closing in 1945 when it was then sold back to individual farmers. Enquires with Mr David Morgan of the Memorial Museum on the present premises (1999) confirmed the base had continued to function to an unspecified date in 1947 during which time it was run as a Transit Centre for the repatriation of German POW’s back into Germany.
