This is an old case.
I do not know how many of you are familiar with it.
It is unique, in that it involved a highway patrolman.
It costed him his job and his wife, ultimately.
My feeling, has always been that it was genuine.

What are your thoughts?

Can things get any weirder???????????

And can the lack of any other credible witnesess hurts this case even more!!

And yet, its very compelling, isnt it??????

I'm off to get drunk in a minute, anyone that follows me will be found guilty as drunk....LOL

It's really interesting but what's up with the winged serpeant on the aliens clothing? If their from another planet don't you think they would have animals unlike ours. It would be better if there was more then one witness. It's just another believe or don't believe situation. Doesn't havae alot of proof.

It wouldn't be the first time an insignia was seen on an occupants uniform.
When one decides what to belive here, one must also consider this mans reputation and the fact that similar crafts have been reported before this incident.

I actually find this quite a compelling story.

SD, I think it's GREAT that you're taking us back on a tour of these cases. Keep 'em comin'. I'll dig around and see if I can dig up a few more from my books.

I feel it is very helpful to bring back a discussion on them. I will help bring things into focus and will be enlightening to those that are not aware of them plus there are always some, that not even I am aware of.

thanks for sharing, that was very intresting. I can not help but wonder why one would their spouse..did he become so consumed with that or did she not believe him? I can sort of understand how he would lose his job, that's sad that an experience like that can cause such great loses in ones life.

An interesting case with many parallels to this one.

#96.

0500-0550 hours. 29/11/80. Location - Todmorden, West Yorkshire. An on duty uniformed police officer, PC ALAN GODFREY was making one last sweep of an housing estate looking for a number of cows that had been seen roaming loose in the area before going off his night shift. As he was about to turn right off Burnley Road, Todmorden he looked up the road to see what he initially thought was a bus slew across the road. However almost immediately he realised it wasn’t a bus and decided to investigate what it was. Instead of turning right he went straight on toward the object. When he approached he saw that it was a diamond shaped UFO hovering in a stationary position five feet above the road. He was within 20-50 feet of the craft. He described the object as being 20 feet wide and 14 feet high with windows on the top part whilst the bottom part rotated anticlockwise. Shocked and frightened he attempted to contact his local police control via the vehicle’s radio set but it would not function nor would his personal radio. Whilst sat in the car he decided to sketch the object in front of him. Moments later a bizarre thing happened and he suddenly found himself driving down the same road approximately 50-100 yards further on with the object having disappeared. Puzzled and shaken by the experience he drove back towards Todmorden Police station where he saw a colleague on foot patrol. He picked him up and drove him back to the scene of his encounter. There they found a circular patch in the road where the road was drier (there had been some overnight rain) than the surrounding area. PC GODFREY stated that the rotation of the craft had caused nearby trees and bushes to shake. Leaves and branches had formed a circular pattern where PC GODFREY claimed the UFO had been. Only hours later did it emerge that he had suffered a period of ‘missing time’ of approximately 15-20 minutes which he couldn’t account for at the end of his shift. Interestingly one of his boots had sustained a split under his foot that hadn’t been there earlier in the shift. Where it had been he found a red mark on his foot that developed into an irritating rash. This later required minor medical treatment and persisted for several days after the incident. Unable to satisfactorily account for the period of missing time he was eventually persuaded to undergo hypnotic regression in an effort to solve the mystery. What emerged over a series of four such sessions was that of an ‘alien abduction’ scenario which is widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest cases. Under hypnosis he recalled that he had got out of the police vehicle to get a better look at the object, however an intense white light had enveloped him which frightened him he sought the sanctuary of the police car. He then found in a room lying on a table with a number of small ‘bulb’ head figures holding him down. A taller ‘humanoid’ figure came and telepathically communicated with him. Moments later he found himself back in the police vehicle driving along the road, which is where his conscious memories begin. To this day he does not have any conscious memories of the abduction scenario and finds it difficult to comprehend himself. Although the story sounds bizarre, part corroboration for the sighting came in the guise of three other Halifax based officers who were out on the moors only an hour or so prior to PC GODFREY’s encounter. This case links to the above named case. In addition a member of the public saw a similar coloured object in the town itself minutes prior to the GODFREY sighting.
