Berkshires UFO.

Featured Replies

This is the famous Berkshires UFO incident. One of the witnesses, plus his mother who also witnessed it, are interviewed by body language experts. Two of them ex military. 

Witnesses seem very believable and quite a fascinating story they have to tell.

Part two. The teams analysis. 

Chase Hughes has some interesting things to say about bias, and "bias bias" a term I've not heard before. And how easy it is to develop false memories.

I thought Liverpool of all places was the top UFO spot in the UK. 

But yes, Dorset is a known hotspot. 

Interesting Video even though the odds against it being true are billions to one.

Personally I'm not a believer but I have old friends who are.

Well I think it depends on what you define as "it". 

I think something weird definitely happened to these people, and the body language experts seem to agree they had an experience and are not lying. Not to mention that there were many witnesses.

What that "it" was is the question. 

 

Indeed.

Like many in the world I have a (what I consider) healthy cynicism when it comes to news/media/information delivered to us free over the internet.

I ask myself the question "what does the publisher want us to believe?"  and "why do the publishers want to push us in a certain direction?"............financial gain possibly?

Dorset? It’s hardly overrun by military bases.

Let’s see; there’s the Royal Marines at Hamworthy, the Royal Signals at Blandford, the tank firing ranges at Lulworth and...that’s it.

UFO sightings rose in 2021? What a surprise.🤔

Salisbury Plain the largest forces training area in the UK, Royal Artillery near Stonehenge with firing ranges, Warminster barracks, Blandford SAS barracks, Tidworth with several barracks, and assorted airfields army helicopter flying school. And the training area is used by all the services including the airforce for low level air drops, I spent some time there in the services.

So did I, although it was a long time ago now.

With the exception of Blandford - and it’s non existent ‘SAS barracks’ - all those places are in Wiltshire....

In terms of the media yes, they love this stuff, the more viewers they get the more dosh they get. Same for those who start YouTube channels and Patreon accounts. so called investigators, a big incentive is money. Same for those who write books.

What the above does is muddy the waters and make determining what this phenomenon represents harder.

I find the UFO researcher Nick Poe easier to tolerate. He's a former UK government UFO investigator. He's honest about this and makes it clear he has no idea what the sightings represent.

I have been to the SAS barracks was stationed at FVRDE Chobham 70s they have since moved had to drive some boffins to there barracks, but all in the area of Salisbury plain.

You would know then what FVRDE was again closed some years later.

In fact I can tell you about a UFO that was not a UFO but as far as the media and public it was, the navy in 64 was testing a star shell that move across the sky from east to west in the channel but could be seen form 60 miles inland on 2 different nights. A white ball of light moving across the sky.
