1. Early in the morning of 27 Dee 80 (approximately D300L)~ two USAF
security police patroln~n saw ~nusual lights outside the back gate at ..’"
RAF l.Joodbridge. Thinking an air-craft might or been forced havecras-fted
down~ they called fOt~ pel-mission to go outside the gate to invest~9ate.
The on-duty flight chief responded and allovved tfll’ee patro1me:’! to p;’o-
ceed on foot. The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object
in thef
and triangular
.
in
r
The object was described as being metal ic in appearance
shape~ approximately two to three meters across the
base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire forest
with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and
a bank(s) of blue lights underneath, The object was hovering or on legs.
As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuve!’ed through the trees
and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby farm i1ent into a
frenzy. The object was briefly sighted approximately an hour later near
the back gate.
~
2. The next day th ree depress ions 1 1/2" deep and 7" in di amet2!’ \’Iei’e
found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The following
night (29 Dee 80) the area l’/as checked for radiation. Beta/gamma readings
of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak readings in the three de-
pressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the depressions.
A nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07) readings on the side of the tree
toward the depressions.
3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the trees.
It n~ved
about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw off glowing
particles and then broke into five separate white objects and then dis-
appeared. Immediately thereafter, tht’ee star-like objects were- noticed
in the sky; tvlO objects to the north and one to the south, all of i’1hich
Ii/ere about 100 off the horizon. The obJects moved rapidly in sharp .ngulat’
movements and displayed red, gy’een and bJus;-lights. The objects to the
north appeared ,to beeTli pt-i ca 1 through an 8-12 pOI’/er 1 ens. They then
turned to full circles. The objects. tothe-.north remained in the sky’ for
an hour or more. The obj~tt’~o
the soJth was visible for two or thiee
hours and beamed dovm a stream of 1 ight from time to tiole. Numerous indivi-
duals, including the und rsigned, witnessed theactiv’ties in paragraphs

WITHOUT CONSENT
Missing Time and Abduction Phenomena:
The British Cases

By Philip Mantle and Carl Nagaitis


Foreword by Oinical Psychologist Dr John Shaw

WITHOUT CONSENT is the first ever British investigation into a mystery which
has baffled scientists and laymen for four decades: the Abduction Phenomenon.

Traditionally linked with Ufology, the twilight science of


Unidentified Flying Objects, abductions have been reported world-wide.
Ever since the phrase Flying Saucer was coined back in 1947 to describe
a sighting of a UFO in the United States, investigators have tried
to establish a link with a growing number of reports of individuals
who believe they have been carried off without consent.
Thousands of these cases have been reported world-wide,
the majority in the USA. In Britain a mere forty cases have been reported.
These cases range from individuals who have had a missing time experience
to groups of people who allege abduction by alien beings and even visits
to spacecraft.

WITHOUT CONSENT is a compeflng catalogue of mystery experiences


that have happened to ordinary people: housewives, policemen, teachers,
businessmen. Middle-class, middle of the road, repectable citizens, all of them
believe they were abducted. None know why or by whom, although in many
of the case histories in this book they put forward their own theories to
rationalise ther experience.

In its investigation of Missing Time and Abduction Phenomena,


WITHOUT CONSENT focuses on attributable experiences in the United Kingdom.
All the cases have been thoroughly researched and gathered together
in this comprehensive beck which !ea\’eS the reader to decide for themselves
the truth behind these extraordinary occurrences.

Philip Mantle is Press Officer for the British UFO Research Association t16.99
(BUFORA) and Secretary to the UFO National Investigations Committee. Hardback

Thad thought, OK, itls one of our pals pla;ying tricks with
a torch, creeping about late at night, scaring the wits out
of us, but that wouldn’t have answered the ball of blue light:
OK, the ball of blue light n.d.ght have been fumes from :leakage
we didn’t know about from a Ga.z system, but, no, we had 14
ventilation points in the van \\fi th only one small catalytic
heater on, so that the inside of the van was bloody cold to
say the least at that particular timet I examined inside and
out the va, the Hiver Thames for moonlit reflexions, Police
"

across the way coming or going to\’lJards Laylh8.m, ne~
newt, dark
as dark could be$ I got back into bed and sat theret flummoxed,
these lights still there. So I saidt HOK t now then~ I am going
to get myself a cup of very, very strong Army tea and a fag;!!
and got out of bed and turned through 180 degrees to the back
of the van to make the tea; instantly, the lights fol1o\-Jed
suit,
dancing~ yet again, in front of my eyes, this time on a little
clothes line slung across one corer, thelights danci.ngon a pair
of sox~ teatovel and pair of pale pink rubber kttchen glove$.. ~.
HShi U’" that is ",hat I said to myself \ i.e. t is :is no longer
a joke, it could be that it is for real, S(.1 leVst on that latter
assumptkm I see what else I can glean out of the~1e Iit tIe beF5gers.
So I tuned in not to !1them" as it were but my own appraisal of
~
hOioJ Htheyil as it were presented Isosceles triangles: !lO\v it
could have been circles, straight blocks of light, half moons,
.~hatever, it ""as chosen to be isos{;eles triangles! and that is
Greek. , taking ita step further, :tl1 pure ma thsspeak, the
Greeks did not consider ’0’ a number, so left it out of their
maths. it "came" to me, the human brain can vibe up to
around 10 to the power of 26 cps (I am old fashioned, cps~)
and
’rV/Eadio:F1~ \r,avelength osci:hlations is around 10 to the power of
7.5 cps with micro, infrared, white light, x-ray, gamma in beb,een
these hlo HfiniteH (to us~ i’:.t least) mea.surements vIe have at our
disposal. So the max we have, 26~ I decided to divide
our brain~ left a.nd right hemisphere, if in hemisynchronisation,
vi at 26 or what some nuts call ’cosmicl (the b10ke who
suddenly dreamt up the t’s.ulberry Harbour during the last war 1/Jas
pr bly sho\<>1n that idea whilst temporarily in a ’cosmic’ stateL
I divided. the Alphabet (Greek \’Jord) into A to I>l equates 1 to 13:
N to Z equates, the rev~.rse, 13 to 11 so that at the middle of
this \tIe had 13 interface CPSi making a total of 26. F’rom that
I explored yet again and found that. the word ’1~’ioses;’ (reverse,
"Sesom" i.e. open Sesome, came to !lIOHt Ouch~
1 then did a run
on the three main Great ds, Cheops, F.ephren and H.ykerinos~
with the ta.ntallising result that, adding up the letters, cancelling
out any ’01 in the ctddition (Le. should really be ’’In),
these three beauties not only prescribing a rough arc on the
g.round in spatial terms, also prescribed I in maths speak.,
2882,
so that either way I s’,\Haep clf arc, ’tie get 288 which according to
some iTie,themetidan :is the harmonic (or the reciprocal, I forget
whi.ch) per second per grid arc Earth’s surface for light~ So I
doddled .>lith the \>Jord HMAN"and th 1came out at 4, 1, 4, Le. 14l.~?

UFO SIGHTING REPORT FORM

or shape,although its brightness seemed to increase from about mag-
-
nitude 0 to
be approximately 2~ -
3 after about a minute.I would estimate the object to
-
3 miles distant and about 40 60 feet in dia-
meter.It was completely soundless and after about 3 minutes eventually
disappeared, fading slowly over the summit of Knap Hill.Fortunately,I
was able to obtain about 60 seconds of video -
film footage of the
incident.

LOCATION OF WITNESS (see enclosed map)


Knap Hill,Alton Barnes,near Marlborough,Vale of Pewsey,Wilt-
shire.Please refer to Ordnance Survey Sheet no.II85.(Pathfinder
I: 25,000 series.Devizes and Marlborough).
Grid ref: 118/636

LOCATION OF OBJECT (see enclosed map)


The trajectory of the object was south to north over the
villages of Wilcot, Huish and Lockeridge.Please refer to
Ordnance Survey Sheet no.II85.(Pathfinder I: 25,000 series.
Devizes and Marlborough).
I)Grid ref.when first saw object 145/630
2)Grid ref.when last saw object 145/668

DESCRIPTION OF OBJECT
SHAPE oval or egg - shaped.Sharply outlined
SIZE approx. 40 - 60 feet in diameter(between
head of pin/pea held at arms length)
COLOUR Silvery - white
BRIGHTNESS varied from magnitude 0 to -3.
shiny and luminous
SOUND soundless
DISTANCE FROM VITTNESS approx.21 to 3 miles
SPEED OF OBJECT constant.Fairly slow
ELEVATION 40 - 50 degrees above horizon
UFO SIGHTING REPORT FORM
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Dry,mild,with a clear sky and only light,scattered cloud to the west.
Light southwesterly wind. Temperature approx.I3 degrees celsius.

ASTRONOMICAL CONDITIONS
A full moon visible in the eastern sky.
A few of the brighter stars visible.

VIEVUNG CONDITIONS OF WITNESS


The object was viewed through 12 X 50 binoculars.
The incident was recorded on Scotch videotape using a Sony video-
recorder.
Technical data as follows:
TYPE OF CA11ERA Sony M7 VHS Movie Camera
LENS -
TV Zoom lens(9 54MM.I:I2)
CCD Piezo Auto Focus with
manual over-ride.

ANALYSIS OF THE VIDID-RECORDING


The video-recording of the incident is currently undergoing analysis
and the findings will be made available as soon as possible.On initial
inspection,it is apparent that the object has been captured relatively
well on film despite some camera movement.Changes in brightness are
clearly visible and no coloured lights i.e conventional aircraft
navigation lights can be seen.More importantly,the foreground of Knap
Hill is visible,which may be useful as some point of reference when
analysing the distance and size of the object.The object is in view for
approximately 60 seconds.

SUMHARY
Without the results of a full analysis and investigation I am reluctant
to offer an opinion as an explanation for the incident.However,from the
data available,together with my experience as an amateur astronomer and
observer,who is familiar with recognising celestial objects,artificial
satellites,aircraft etc I am prepared to discount provisionally a
mundane explanation for the following reasons;
UFO SIGHTING RFYORT FORM

SUMMARY(Continued)
I)The object carried no landing/wing/tailor other navigation lights.
2)The object made no sound.
3)The object was spherical in shape and appeared to be self-luminous.
4)On subsequent evenings I observed several aircraft and helicopters
flying over the incident area,and at the same distance.Landing
lights,navigation lights,noise could be easily identified.
5)The object did not appear to be reflecting sun or moonlight.
6)The object appeared suddenly against a clear sky.

POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS
I)ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE - perhaps a more plausible explanation as
described by a single,bright light source.Checks are being made
with several authorities in an attempt to either confirm or rule
out this explanation.
2)CELESTIAL OBJECTS since the object was seen at twilight,very
few stars,if any were visible.No planets were visible.A full
moon was visible in the east,the sun having recently set in the
west,so the object may have been reflecting light.Since the object
appeared to be self-luminous I would tend to discount reflection.
3)AIRCRAFT enquiries are being made with local civilian and
military airports and bases for details of airtraffic in the area
at the time of the sighting.
)METEOROLOGICAL EXPLANATION - enquiries are being made with the
Met.Office at Bracknell,England,for further information,including
the possible flights of weather balloons in the incident
area.
-
5)FLARES enquiries are being made with the Ministry of Defence.
Since the incident area is not military property it is
unlikely
flare activity could account for the sighting.

TOP SECRET?

u 0
Information evealed

II I II I
UFOs: ~L~H~ a EQ~
For many years, UFO research organisations and groups have investigated
witnesses of UFO encounters with very little or no results. It has been
discovered that some well organised research groups are funded by the
Government in an effort to keep control of the situation.
Over the past few years, there has not only been complete UFO awareness
but also secret documents being leaked out into the public domain.

IT IS TIME THAT THE INVESTIGATORS A,1\ID RESEAR S BE RESEAR AND


INVESTIGATED.
A group code named ELITE has now put this into practice with a project
called OPERATION ALPHA and o.\iU:i:GA. Its two main agents are code named
DESTINY and DELIVERANCE. The;v are concerned that the whole question of
UFOs is getting out of hand.
Investigations began within the bowels of an organisation, where it was
discovered that one of tlleir members was meeting socially with a m~nber
of the Air Staff Division of the Ministry of Defence. It was further
noted that certain UFO investigators were passing on witness
information to the same department of the Ministry of Defence.

In August 1992, a ten page doclnnent was distributed containing details


of UFO(?) activity in the Nevada Desert. Since this documeIlt was
released, ELITE has done much research to validate it.
DESTINY has found out for certain that the American Government have
gained tecllnology fronl our Extra terrestrial neighbours. Also that the
American Government, together with a group of German scientists have
been abducting animals and humans for genetic experimentation.
DESTINY has also found out that a temn or collection of persorrrlel are
being prepared for a ’LONG JOURNEY’, and due to suppression of space
only a selected few may go.
Consider this, many people have complained of abduction, having embryos
complete wombs and eggs removed. ELITE wonders if this could have
something to do with a planned migration of human seed heing
transported in the womb of a rabbit to somewhere else? (We know this
is possible because it has already been publicly demonstrated).

The British Government must have a vested interest in this, since the
question of UFOs is a worldwide problem.
What is the cost of the production of the so called ’~V\STER
RACE’ that
is hoped will be developed by the year 2000 ?

When will the Governments realise that geneticall;r produced HYBRIDS can
still breed and cannot be contained forever?

Why are the Governments afraid of the UFO witnesses? Is it because the
witnesses may learn things through their contacts that the Governu~nts
regard as top secret ?

1
We think it has been obvious for many years that we could not possibly be the
only life sustaining planet in the Universe. Once upon a time, people would
declare, " I’ve seen a UFO!". The reply would be, "Where is the evidence ?",
and of course there wasn’t any. But now it’s a different story.
1. Mutilated cattle, cut by highly efficient la.<>er technology.
2. Supposedly Alien abductions, leaving physical marks such as laser burns,
implants and missing time experiences, and leaving the victim in a
traumatised state resembling that of a rape victim.
3. GoverfID~nt and official documents being discovered disclosing the crash
and retreival of ali en craft. Al so personnel who have worked in top secret
installations coming forward saying they have worked on such crafts, thus
validating the documents.
4. The intimidation and monitoring of witnesses, investigators and Government
officials who openly discuss the subject, by MIBS, unmarked security
personnel and other unnamed authorities.

00# MUCH MORE EV IDENCE DO YOU NEED ?


Well if that’s not enough, then maybe this may help to convince you.

Maybe the ~nericanGovernment feels that what people are seeing when they
sight some L~s,is one of their own high tech crafts produced and tested for
propaganda purposes, stolen from Extra Terrestrial tecl1fiology.
ELITE knows that the American Government has designed a vehicle using this
tecl1fiology code named nJP HOVER, a craft capable of levitating above the
ground and speeds of up to 4000 mph. It is operated by mind control
technology and contains an anti gravity device. The crew consists of twelve
personnel.
While we are talking about American craft, DESTINY has found out the
Americans have been working on Stealth technology since 1939, and are
currently working on an idea to produce a Stealth type missile code named ..?
We won’t go into any more detail until we produce the next document.

As for the secrets that the British Government think they have, just to give
you a taste of what we know, DELIVERANCE has found that the Ministry of
dumbbell shaped L~
Defence installation at Southend, EIlglrohd, had in 1984 retreived a black
which was exposed on a beach on the south coast. It was
approximately eighty foot across, four men high, weighed about 20 tonnes and
was taken away under the cover of darkness. It was escorted by two jeeps and
a motorcyclist. This manoeuvre took just three quarters of an hour. (A plug
that had worked its way loose from the ocean floor was the explanation given)
Do they blindly think that people are oblivious to the truth, or are they
?
just hoping thai
DELI\~CE has also found that they have been unable to enter this craft as
it seems to have a self sealing mechanism, and when it was loaded on to the
truck, one of the personnel patted the object and recieved microwave burns to
the palm of his hand. He also suffered a vibration that went right through
his body.

DELI~~CE also knows that the British C~vernmeIlt


rather high tech scanning device which they keep in a
are ’baby sitting’ a
secret submarine nmned
DOLPHIN 12. More about this in the second document !

During research into a certain abduction case that occured in the USA, ELITE
to American
have discovered that the contents of the experience pointed
Government involvement. This was investigated thoroughly and under hypnosis
mentioned that all
the victim could never remember leaving the ground, and
This seems to indicate
the abductors were human wearing silver space suits. this point do not

used to extraordinarily good effect
in my UFO study. After a thorough
investigation ofthe unidentified low-

eye-witnesses,I had concluded that
the objects could not have been of

was too advanced) and, further-
more, they were too small to have
arrived here unaided. I speculated
that they had probably been

spacecraft, perhaps established in
short-stay orbits. The assumption

ceed on foot. The individuals reported seeing a strange glowing object
in th The object was described as being metal ic in appearance
and triangular in shape, approximately two to three across the met~rs
base and approximately two meters high. It illuminated the entire forest
with a white light. The object itself had a pulsing red light on top and
a bank(s} of blue lights underneath. The object was hovering or on legs.
As the patrolmen approached the object, it maneuvered through the trees
and disappeared. At this time the animals on a nearby farm went into a
frenzy. The object \’ias briefly sighted approximately an hour later near
the back gate.
2. The next day, three depressions 1 1/211 deep and 7" in diameter \’Iei’At::
found where the object had been sighted on the ground. The following
night (29 Dec 80) the area \-/as checked for radiation. eta/gamm read-ings
of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded with peak readings in the three de-
pressions and near the center of the triangle formed by the depressions.
A nearby tree had moderate (.05-.07) readings on the side of the tree
toward the depressions.
3. Later in the night a red sun-like light was seen through the trees.
It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throvl off glo\-Jin9

appeared. Immediately thereafter, three star-like objects were’ noticed
~’
in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the south, all of which
were about 100 off the horizon. TheobJects moved rapidly in sharp ngul !’
movements and displayed red, green andQlu~’lights. The objects to the
north appeared .to be elliptical through’ an 8-12 power lens. They then
turned to full cit’cles. The objects tothe,..rorth t’emained in
an hour or more. The obj~tt~o so~th sky’ for th.e

LIGHTSHIP SPECIFICATION j

VIRGIN LIGHTSHIP A-GO


The Virgin Lightship is a revolutionary
airship designed specifically for marketing
and aerial observation purposes. Utilisation
of the latest materials and manufacturing
techniques have enabled the airship to
offer a performance and durability that is
not available anywhere else in the world.
The unique construction method of
the lightship allows for custom hulls to
be made which can incorporate up to 32
different colours.
The most striking feature of the Virgin
Lightship is that the entire hull (including
banner sites) can be internally illuminated,
providing a most dramatic advertising
platform for night-time use.

the top right edge (see diagram). I watched this through the binoculars
when suddenly the light went out and I took my binoculars away, all that
was left where the light was, was a patch of smoke hanging in the air. The
orange glow was still there but had disappeared a few minutes after the
yellow light, although I didn I t see this disappear, I just noticed that
it was no longer there. The whole episode lasted approx. 10 seconds.

Yellow light (similar to a lightbulb colour)


Darker areas seemed to be in the light

(The smoke reference results from our impression that there was something
in the air, in the general direction or where the ball had been. We discussed
this at the time and could not be certain as to what it was. I t appeared
as a hazy patch, well above the horizon, rather than on the horizon. It
mayor may not have been related to the occurrence of the ball)

sightings are reported to this office on the standard form, or a similar version
of this form, as I explained in my answer to questions land 3 in your previous
let ter. -.
e. I am not able to comment on a quote which, while it may have appeared in
a UFO book, I am unable to check; all I can do, and have done,is answer your
questions in ways which reflect my best understanding of the current position.
As I explained when you called yesterday, information on numbers of sightings in
previous years had been placed on some of the previous files. I do not have
details of destruction orders for files; if anybody still has such data, it
would be the Public Record Office.
f. I am not able to comment on such a hypothetical question, but if you are
after information on why the records were classified, I suggest that you look
through those files that are available at the Public Record Office, to see if
any explanation is given.
g. As I explained, I have no original document explaining how our policy
was formulated and evolved. I was briefed on the policy by my predecessor, and
was able to fill in any gaps by referring to the correspondence files.
h. Again, this is an area where all I can say is that it is not possible to
be 100% sure. I have no document explaining why we do not give details of the
role and function of some specific divisions, but as you will realise, we do not
want to give out any information that might be of use to any potential enemy;
this is why our telephone directory listing such details is not available to the
public. The best I can do is suggest that you go to HMSO and ask their advice
on what publications are available.
i. I am unable to comment on what my predecessor said. As I have
explained, all I can do is answer questions on the basis of my understanding of
the facts.

j. Again, I am not able to comment with any certainty on documents I have


not seen.

k. I have not seen documents that would suggest any such liaison is taking
place.
1. I can only repeat that this office deals with sighting reports and
policy questions on UFOs, and should receive all UFO sightings sent to the MOD.
I have not seen the documents to which you refer, unless you are referring to
the one you sent with your previous letter, which as I explained in the answer
to question 29 in your previous letter, is almost certainly a fake. You
mentioned the "occupant report" when you phoned. This should have come here,
and if you can give mea precise date, I will do my best to find it. I suspect
it went onto our correspondence file. This latter point sweeps up the point
that you made in your postscript.
m. While I am not able to comment on an alleged remark that I was not
witness to, I can say that such advice runs counter to our policy. We actively
encourage people to make reports, and this is a point which will be stressed in
any new guidance. While this is only speculation, it is possible that people
who were not aware that UFOs should be reported at all dismissed the matter as
silly as a result of their personal views.
n. Again, I am not prepared to comment on confirmations that I did not
witness. If I see any hard evidence that the document is genuine, then I can
have another look at this, but it should be borne in mind that it is just as
easy to fake confirmation that a document is genuine, as it is to fake the
documen t itself. Genuine signed let ters from any agency can be used, blanking
out the real text, and inserting bogus information. If a further photocopy is
then taken, a document will exist with genuine stationery and signature, but
false information. It is unfortunate, but this sort of thing goes on a lot with

VIRGIN LIGHTSHIP A...60


The Virgin Lightship is a revolutionary
airship designed specifically for marketing
and aerial observation purposes. Utilisation
of the latest materials and manufacturing
techniques have enabled the airship to
offer a performance and durability that is
not available anywhere else in the world.
The unique construction method of
the lightship allows for custom hulls to
be made which can incorporate up to 32
different colours.
The most striking feature of the Virgin
Lightship is that the entire hull (including
banner sites) can be internally illuminated,
providing a most dramatic advertising
platform for nighHime use.

considered that any return was a UFO, it should be reported as such, in the
normal way.
---
10. Because until 1967 we had comp ratively few sightings reported to us (as
the figures I sent you show), and prior to then the subject was not considered
to be one that generated sufficient public interest to justify "the permanent
retention of UFO material. With regard to the other part of your question, the
classification is not strictly relevant; classified material can be declassified
and released under the terms of the Public Records Act, so the public could have
had access to such reports.
11. Prior to 1967 we have kept our files. These are archived, and passed to
the Public Record Office, where they are handled in accordance with the terms of
the Public Records Act, and made available to the public 30 years after the date
of the last enclosure. As I suspect is the case with many of these questions,
you may wish to check the position with the Public Record Office. The position
is complicated by the fact that some files from the Fifties have survived, and
also because files were generally kept for five years (so that even though
before 1967, UFO files were routinely destroyed, material from the early Sixties
survived, because it would not have been considered for destruction straight
away). For your information, the references of all the UFO files that I believe
are currently available for viewing is as follows: AIR 16/1199, AIR 20/7390, AIR
20/9320, AIR 20/9321, AIR 20/9322, AIR 20/9994, PREM 11/855, AIR 2/16918 and AIR
2/17318. Depending upon the dates of the most recent enclosures within files,
there should now be a steady flow of UFO files released each January under the
Thirty Year Rule. I suggest you stay in touch with the Public Record Office on
this.
12. I do not know, but suspect that it has to do with the attitude that
prevailed at the time in the Cold War.

13. I do not know how our policy on UFOs was first formulated, but I follow
a policy that has existed for many years.

14. I have no such dqtument to hand. HMSO is most likely to have such a
document; in any case, there is much useful information in SDE 1993. ~’
15. I am not able to comment on the attitude of the US government, but can
tell you that I have never assigned a classification to a UFO sighting report.

16. This office is the focal point for the handling of UFO sighting reports,
and any more general questions on the subject of UFOs. We do, however, pass
data to other specialist divisions involved with the defence of the UK, who look
at it as part of their normal duties, so that they can look for any evidence of
a threat to the illZ (no such evidence has, to date, been found). It is not our
practice to give details of these divisions.

17. This is covered by my previous answer.


18. I do not recall having mentioned classified UFO reports, apart from some
of the more historical reports in files at the Public Record Office. It is
hypothetically possible that a report could be classified in some circumstances,
such as the sighting of a UFO whilst on an operation. However, the
classification would be due to the operation, not the UFO sighting. I am not
aware of any such reports.

19. I do not know what they meant, and suspect that some confusion might
have crept in. The position with regard to the classification and subsequent
handling of reports is as set out in previous answers.
20. I do not know, not having seen the reports. Obviously we have to
respect the classification of any data we are sent, whatever the subject. I
would say again, however, that all UFO data should come to this office, and that
in my experience, it is not classified.

VIRGIN LIGHTSHIP A-60


The Virgin Lightship is a revolutionary
airship designed specifically for marketing
and aerial observation purposes. Utilisation
of the latest materials and manufacturing
techniques have enabled the airship to
offer a performance and durability that is
not available anywhere else in the world.
The unique construction method of
the lightship allows for custom hulls to
be made which can incorporate up to 32
different colours.
The most striking feature of the Virgin
Lightship is that the entire hull (including
banner sites) can be internally illuminated,
providing a most dramatic advertising
platform fornighHime use.
