1 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:06,640 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,480 In this episode we're talking about the alien abduction of 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,000 Alan Godfrey. That's correct, the alien 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,760 abduction of Alan Godfrey. Now this was a ex police 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,600 constable over in the UK. Kind of a cool story I really 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,000 hadn't heard of before. I found this article at 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:27,240 umbrellamagazine.co.uk. The title says Chance encounters 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,400 alien abduction in the Pennines and this is dated December 12th, 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,680 2021. Got a picture of this house? 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,080 Here? Photographer Rick Moran's new 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,680 book looks at the strange case of PC Alan Godfrey and Todd 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,320 Morden 1980 goes on here and says Borderlands are often other 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,880 worldly places. And that's is true for 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,240 Lancashire, Yorkshire frontier as it is for the US Mexico 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,440 border. Take Todd Morden for example, a 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,960 town that straddled the boundary between red and white roses. 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,840 The hills surrounding it have long been noted for mysterious 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,000 goings on, especially those of an extraterrestrial nature. 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,800 Most notorious is the alleged alien abduction of PC. 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,040 That's Constable Alan Godfrey on November 28th, 1980. 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Godfrey was already investigating another bizarre 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,560 case, the death of miner Sigma Adamski on June 11th. 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,040 He'd been found dead on a pile of coal with no visible signs of 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,080 injury except for a mark, perhaps a burn on the back of 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,760 his neck and head. I talked about that case in the 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,400 podcast before, but I should revisit. 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,120 It goes on and says Six months after Adamski's death, PC 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,680 Godfrey revealed an even stranger tale. 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,120 While investigating cattle roaming, he saw a white Dome 30 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,560 shaped object appear in front of him before being blinded by a 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,840 flash of light. He blacked out and came to his 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240 senses 20 minutes later and 100 yards away. 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,520 So there we have some missing time with no memory of what had 34 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,480 happened to him. Soon his story became national 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,840 news. Had he been abducted by aliens? 36 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,680 Were UF OS making forays to the Pennines? 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,160 Why did PC Godfrey's body, like Sigma Adamski's, have an 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,520 unexplained burn? 40 years after footage? 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,920 Journalist and regular Umbrella contributor Rick Moran has 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880 written a book, Chance Encounters in the Valley of 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,640 Lights, telling the story of the case through words, original 42 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,640 photography and never before seen archival material. 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,560 It is an arresting synthesis of psychogeography, investigative 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,880 journalism and art. Here we speak to Rick, now 45 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,960 living in New York about this most bizarre case. 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,040 And it's got a picture of this Alan Godfrey here from back when 47 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,400 it happened. And also a letter from the 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,360 Ministry of Defense design that they're sorry they can't help 49 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,440 him as far as office says hi Rick, Give us a brief rundown of 50 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,360 what happened. He says well I was a young lad 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,800 when my dad brought home a newspaper with the story of a 52 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,120 local policeman who claimed he'd been abducted by a UFO. 53 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,840 The story goes like this. November 28th, 1985 AM PC Alan 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,520 Godfrey was on duty when he was called to report of cattle 55 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,320 roaming loose around a local housing estate. 56 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,320 Driving down to Burnley Rd. he saw what he thought was a bus 57 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,640 that had skewed across the road. On getting closer, he 58 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,560 encountered a spinning object 20 feet wide hovering above the 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960 ground. He tried to radio his station 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,760 and the radio was dead. His car wouldn't start either, 61 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,520 so he sketched out what he saw in his notebook. 62 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,240 There was a flash of green light and he was 100 yards down the 63 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,680 road. The next year, Godfrey underwent 64 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,240 3 hypnosis sessions where he recalled being taken on board 65 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840 the craft and examined. This correlated with 20 minutes 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,720 of lost time he had, and the strange marks on his foot and 67 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,960 split boot also backed up his recollection of having bracelets 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,800 attached to his legs during the examination. 69 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320 It sounds like they had this guy strapped down. 70 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Wow. It says. 71 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,240 Why did you decide to document it? 72 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,760 He says. It's such a crazy, complex and 73 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,800 layered story. I wanted to bring it to a wider 74 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,080 audience. As I researched it, I found so 75 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,760 many interesting threads and stories. 76 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,280 Take Sigmund Adamski, the Polish miner found dead on a coal pile 77 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,520 with mysterious burns. PC Alan Godfrey was the first 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,200 one on the scene. Another strange event. 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,960 Godfrey had also been unable to father any more children after a 80 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,800 fight where he was kicked in the groin. 81 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,200 But following his alleged alien encounter, his wife saw a bright 82 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,480 flash of light before going to bed. 83 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,640 In the morning, they made love and shortly after she fell 84 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240 pregnant. Then when he went public with 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,800 his story, other sightings that night and related tales 86 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,360 appeared. It's almost like maybe there was 87 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,800 this wave of UFO sightings in that general area. 88 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,120 There were countless reconstructions, all with 89 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,000 slightly different elements, and one he was driving a Mini and 90 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,360 had a Southern accent, another a Cortina and a northern accent. 91 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080 It played to the idea of storytelling to me. 92 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,480 Stories change, evolve and grow as we tell them. 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,040 A lot of the reconstruction features in the book with a 94 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,360 variety of archive material, he says. 95 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,440 What was your approach to the project's photography? 96 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,600 He says Much like any story, I had pictures in my mind already 97 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,200 about what the locations look like. 98 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,040 I started with the actual places, but also looked around 99 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280 for photos that matched what was in my head. 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,480 I shot some images on Acro Chrome film, infrared film that 101 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,600 was used by the military for aerial surveillance. 102 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,920 It basically captures a broadband of light spectrum 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,120 including UV light, visible light and infrared light. 104 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,520 It felt like a good medium for the project. 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,000 I also gathered a lot of archive material combined through micro 106 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,200 fitches at the local library, visiting the British archives to 107 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,480 go through their UFO file and sourcing UFO magazines from the 108 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,280 time these feature in the special edition as an extra 109 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,160 publication. I contacted many UFO experts as 110 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,480 well and gained access to unpublished images and notes. 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,200 A lot of neat pictures here. You know, I would describe this 112 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,320 as kind of rolling hill type country. 113 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,200 It looks like a very rural area. This would have happened. 114 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,440 The apartments these people live in are a little drab, I would 115 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,360 say, mostly kind of on the, I don't know, kind of a almost 116 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400 like a postmodern socialist look to them. 117 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760 They're made out of concrete. They kind of have these angled 118 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,440 roofs, goes on down and says, I'm getting closer. 119 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,120 PC Godfrey saw a spinning object 20 feet wide hovering above the 120 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,360 ground and talking a little bit more about his actual encounter 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,040 here. It says, how would you describe 122 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,400 the area? Todd? 123 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,560 Todd Morton has been described as the UFO capital of the UK. 124 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,040 Even growing up it was an interesting place full of 125 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680 characters. I remember my dad saying he knew 126 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960 when someone was from Todd as soon as he saw them. 127 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840 As I researched the area, I found more and more supernatural 128 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,120 tales, from witches to UFO sightings to a 1960s BFI film 129 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,360 shot locally that's eerily prescient about Godfrey's 130 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,760 encounter. Now that's interesting because 131 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,760 you see this notion of paranormal Cryptid type stuff 132 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,960 overlapping with these UFO sightings and that seems to be 133 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,000 what's going on here. It says after attending the 134 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 local UFO club, yes, it's a thing, and meeting the local 135 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,200 bookstore owner. He told me of a guy who's seen a 136 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,040 UFO earlier the same year with Godfrey's son. 137 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040 I found out about other witnesses the same night and 138 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,040 heard tales of the tarmac being replaced under the site. 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,000 Godfrey also published a book where he claims he was pushed 140 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120 out of the police force by men in black who tried to keep him 141 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,160 from talking to the media. Well, you know, we do hear that. 142 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,480 I mean, sometimes these things, people are trying to keep him 143 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,720 quiet. He finishes up. 144 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,840 He says, Well, the interesting thing is Todd Morden was once in 145 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,600 both Lancashire and Yorkshire. It's now in Westworkshire. 146 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,600 The county boundary followed the River Calder directly under the 147 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,400 town hall where you could ballroom dance across counties. 148 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280 For me, it's never been about solving the story, more about 149 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,080 sharing the many threads so people can make their own minds 150 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,440 up. I'll leave the answer to that 151 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,799 one up to them when they see the book. 152 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,520 It's got a lot of cool pictures here of where this happened at, 153 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,760 you know, some of the the headlines that happened at the 154 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,160 time. Yeah, really cool. 155 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,720 So I want to get a little bit deeper into this with this next 156 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480 article. I found this article on 157 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,720 themirror.co.uk. It's dated April 17th, 2025 S 158 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,240 fairly recently actually. Talking about this case. 159 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,720 Title says I was abducted by aliens in Yorkshire and probed 160 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,720 by a bearded humanoid. Retired police officer Alan 161 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,680 Godfrey says the encounter occurred while he was on patrol 162 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,680 in Todd Morden W Yorks in the early hours of November 28th, 163 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,200 1980. That's been a while, almost 45 164 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,800 years, I guess. The article starts off as says, 165 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,600 well, the articles written by Sarah Toluk and Fran Bowden. 166 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,720 It says astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery that 167 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,480 could be the clearest sign yet of life beyond our solar system. 168 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,080 Researchers now say they are 99.7% certain that signs of life 169 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,080 have been detected on a distant exoplanet located 124 light 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,680 years from Earth, more than 3 billion times further than the 171 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,240 distance between Earth and the moon. 172 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480 The planet, known as K2 ATB, orbits with the within the 173 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,160 habitable zone, often referred to as a Goldilocks zone, a 174 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,520 region where conditions may be just right to support liquid 175 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,920 water and potentially life. Couple of big ifs there. 176 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Scientists are spatially excited about two specific chemical 177 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280 signatures found in the planet's atmosphere. 178 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,240 And it talks about that a little bit, and then it goes on down 179 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,360 here, it says. Meanwhile, back on Earth's, 180 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,280 sightings of UFOs are regularly reported, especially from alien 181 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,120 corridors or areas with frequent reports of unexplained 182 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,480 phenomena. Some people even claim to have 183 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600 been abducted by aliens. And while most of us associate 184 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000 extraterrestrial activity with places like Roswell and New 185 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,560 Mexico, one of the world's UFO hotspots is Scotland. 186 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,000 Falkirk Triangle. Here, Malcolm Robertson, founder 187 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,200 of Strange Phenomena Investigation Scotland, the 188 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,480 country's oldest UFO society, which celebrates his 45th 189 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,040 anniversary this month, shares ten of the most hair raising 190 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,600 reported UFO encounters, including the first Brit on 191 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,480 record to claim he was abducted by aliens. 192 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160 It starts off with the Rendlesham incident here says in 193 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,280 December of 1980, a series of unexplained lights near Suffolk 194 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,720 Forest led to speculation that UFOs had landed on British soil. 195 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,040 The events occurred just outside RFA Woolbridge, which was being 196 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,000 used at the time by the United States Air Force. 197 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,000 So this would have been about a month after this Godfrey claims 198 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,200 that he was abducted. It goes on down talks about that 199 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,040 a little bit, talks about the Deschmont wood siding. 200 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040 That was in 1979. And remember that would have 201 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,000 been just about a year before the sighting. 202 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040 We've talked about this. This is about a forestry worker 203 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,600 which ended up with his clothes all torn up with these strange 204 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,160 wounds and account of this flying Dome over the forest 205 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,960 floor. They bring up about the a 70 206 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,160 alien abductions. This is a Gary Wood Colin right? 207 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,840 They claimed they were abducted. That was in 1992. 208 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Goes on down the Bunny bridge sightings. 209 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,400 We talked about those Broad Haven Triangle. 210 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440 Yeah, we've covered that before. Somebody's little children saw 211 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,360 this thing, The Lakenhoff and Bentwater's UFO sightings, the 212 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,160 Calvine incident that's been in the news lately, this really 213 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,520 spectacular UFO photo. And then it brings up the Alan 214 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,280 Godfrey incident. It says in November 1980, police 215 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,960 officer Alan Godfrey claimed to have been abducted by an alien 216 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,760 spacecraft in Todd Morden, West Yorkshire. 217 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,160 PC Godfrey had been sent out at 5:00 AM to deal with a call 218 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,640 about escape cattle on a housing estate, but he was stopped dead 219 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,400 in his tracks by what he claimed was an unidentified flying 220 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,640 object, a rotating diamond shaped vessel 20 feet high and 221 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,080 14 feet wide. He quickly sketched the craft in 222 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,000 his notebook and grabbed his radio to call the incident in, 223 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,000 but the line went dead and the craft disappeared in a flash, 224 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,040 with Godfrey finding himself sitting in his car 30 yards 225 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,440 further down the road. It's a classic missing time 226 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,520 case. Got a picture of the guy here as 227 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,120 a young cop Alan Godfrey. Looking at his watch, the 228 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,440 policeman was surprised to see it was 25 minutes later, when it 229 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,800 had been just moments before. Weird or still, his boot was 230 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,960 split open and an itchy burn mark had appeared on his left 231 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,440 foot. In an interview at the time, he 232 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,840 said. I was driving the Panda car and 233 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240 I came across this strange craft blocking the road. 234 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,320 It was about 20 feet high, 14 feet wide. 235 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,960 It was a diamond shaped object hovering about 5 feet off the 236 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600 ground. I got within about 20 feet of 237 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,560 it, but I didn't get out of the car. 238 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,160 I didn't want to get out of the car. 239 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,440 I got on the radio, but there was no response. 240 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,400 The next saying I remember I was at the other side where the 241 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,960 object had been driving the car away. 242 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:42,120 Wow, got a picture of him here. He's he's at the time he's doing 243 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,640 this chalk drawing showing this alien that apparently was one of 244 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,560 the abductors. Alan was searching for a herd of 245 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,800 calm missing when he was in when he encounter strange craft and 246 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,280 Todd Morden Westworks on November 20th, 1980. 247 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,960 Then it says desperate to understand what had happened. 248 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,720 He ended with hypnotic regression and had his sessions 249 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280 filmed. When I was allowed to see them 250 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,200 at the end, they were quite frightening. 251 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240 He said. Yeah, I can see that. 252 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,720 Under hypnosis, I find myself getting out of the car and a 253 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,200 very strange, powerful beam of light is shown toward me, which 254 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480 blinds me. I jump back in the car in a 255 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,720 panic, and then there is some sort of blackout. 256 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,520 After the blackout, I wake up in some sort of examination room. 257 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,880 Describing the alien. He said he was humanoid, a human 258 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,800 appearance 6 feet high. He had a beard and wore some 259 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,800 sort of skullcap. He wore a white gown. 260 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,080 He was really very pleasant. He wasn't at all frightening to 261 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,200 look at. There were eight small 3 foot 262 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,720 high creatures that transpired during the regression to be 263 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,520 robots. My left foot was examined. 264 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080 When the doctor woke me up, I was wired up to some heart 265 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,280 machines. They went completely off the 266 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,240 scales. I was in such extreme stress. 267 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,200 When he reported to his close encounters, he was met with 268 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,440 ridicule and disbelief. He underwent hypnosis, claimed 269 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,520 he had been in a strange room being examined by several 270 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,040 creatures and a tall humanoid figure with a beard. 271 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360 That's a different one for me. I don't normally hear about 272 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,040 these things having beards. Again, his claims were denied, 273 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,000 were derided, and he later said he had been hounded out of the 274 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,920 police for refusing to give up his story. 275 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,720 Wow. Well, you know, it seems to me 276 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,000 like the guy really seems solid in his belief about things. 277 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,760 If he's refusing to give up, if he if he won't deny the story 278 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,000 and it gets to the point where he actually loses his job over 279 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,680 is forced out of the Police Department, that is really 280 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,160 something. Let's take a look at this next 281 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,000 article. I want to finish up with this 282 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,360 article I found from a site called thinkaboutitdocs.com. 283 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,800 Thinkaboutitdocs.com the title of this article says 1980 police 284 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,840 constable Alan godfrey's abduction got another picture of 285 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,640 a much younger Alan Godfrey here drawing an illustration of this 286 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,520 spaceship that he saw back in November 1980. 287 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,640 The charts office says think about an abduction. 288 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:13,280 Report date November 20th, 1980 Sighting time 5:00 AM, dark 289 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,160 outside Location Todd Morden, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom 290 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,440 and this was encountered as a close encounter for abduction of 291 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,760 witness or other direct contact. Summary Police officer Alan 292 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,280 Godfrey was on a routine patrol when he encountered A metallic 293 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560 disc with a Dome and a row windows. 294 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,040 Suddenly there was a burst of light and he found himself 100 295 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,720 yards further down the road and the UFO was gone. 296 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Under hypnosis later Godfrey recall it being struck by a beam 297 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,560 of light which floated him into the craft and meeting a human 298 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,320 like being named Joseph whose clothing was very biblical in 299 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,120 nature. Aboard the craft he was 300 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,240 physically examined and asked questions. 301 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400 And then here it says for report police constable Anna Goffer's 302 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,680 drawing of a UFO and UFO, not Todd Moore in England 1980. 303 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,160 In November and December 1980, the eastern side of Britain was 304 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,680 experiencing a major UFO sighting wave. 305 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,040 There were chases of UFOs by police cars near the coast by 306 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,720 UFO that overflew an oil rig in the North Sea, and the wave 307 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,119 culminated in the famous events on the East Angling coast at 308 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,599 Reynolds from Forest just a month before these landings. 309 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,200 Beside those NATO air bases, one of the most impressive alien 310 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,720 abduction cases took place in a small Pennine milltown of Todd 311 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,160 Morden, West Yorkshire, right in the center of Britain's most 312 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,640 active window area, known locally as UFO Alley. 313 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Police Constable Alan Godfrey was on patrol on the night of 314 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,960 November 28th, 1980. Just before dawn, he drove along 315 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,720 Burnley Rd. on the edge of Todd Morden looking for some cows 316 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,320 that had been reported missing. They were only found after a 317 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,040 sunup, mysteriously relocated in a rain soaked field without hoof 318 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,480 marks to indicate their passage. Now that's strange. 319 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,880 Normally you know when we find these cattle turning up, they're 320 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,680 mutilated, if they turn up at all. 321 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,840 But here we go. They found these things in the 322 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,440 middle of this passage. No tracks in or out. 323 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720 It's like they were just dropped there, but they were dropped 324 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,200 there alive. That's the weird thing. 325 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,720 Giving up his nocturnal hunt, Godfrey was about to go back to 326 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,440 base to sign off duty when he saw a large mass a few 100 yards 327 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,680 ahead. At first he thought it was a bus 328 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,160 coming toward him that took workers to their jobs in town 329 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,720 and that he knew, passed about 5:00 AM. 330 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:34,440 But as he approached, he realized that it was something 331 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,920 very strange. It was a fuzzy Oval that rotated 332 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,760 at such speed and hovered so low over the otherwise degruded Hwy. 333 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,000 that it was causing the bushes by the side to shake. 334 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,960 The police officer stopped, propped onto his windscreen a 335 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,000 pad that was in the patrol car to make sketches of any road 336 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,640 accidents, and drew the UFO. Then there was a burst of light 337 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760 and the next thing he knew he was driving his car again 338 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,360 further along Burnley Rd. with no sign of the UFO. 339 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,360 Godfrey turned around and examined the spot where the UFO 340 00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,360 had hovered. The road was very wet as it had 341 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,240 rained heavily earlier in the night, but just at this one 342 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,240 location was a circular patch where the roadway had been dried 343 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,400 in a scroll pattern. Only went back at the police 344 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,560 station that he realized that it was a little later than he had 345 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,840 expected, although any missing time was probably no greater 346 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,880 than 15 minutes from estimates later taken on site. 347 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,440 Concerned as to possible ridicule, Godfrey at first chose 348 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,520 not to make an official report, but changed his mind later that 349 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,440 day when he discovered he was not alone. 350 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,080 After breakfast that morning, a driver who had been on Burnley 351 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Road, 3 miles further out at Clevenger, reported seeing a 352 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,640 brilliant white object and contacted Toddborn police. 353 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,320 The time matched that of Alan Godfrey's. 354 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,920 Furthermore, a police patrol from an adjacent force, Halifax, 355 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,960 had been engaged in a stakeout for stolen motorcycles on the 356 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,920 Moors of Calder Valley and a witness of brilliant blue white 357 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,720 glow descending into the valley toward Todd Morden shortly 358 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,200 before Godfrey experienced his close encounter. 359 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,160 Their story when it reached Todd Morden police station. 360 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,120 Encouraged by this news, Godfrey followed an official report but 361 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,800 was surprised when police chose to release the story to the 362 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,240 local newspaper the following week. 363 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,680 From here UFO ologists discovered the case and a 364 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480 lengthy investigation was mounted by a Manchester based 365 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,600 UFO group. Although Alan Godfrey had no 366 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,200 further conscious recall of missing time, he did have 367 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,880 increasingly confused memory of a sequence of events surrounding 368 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,960 the sighting, with an unexplained image of himself 369 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,480 outside the car during the sighting. 370 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840 There was also a puzzling and physical evidence his police 371 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,040 issue boots were split on the side, as if he had been dragged 372 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,120 along the floor and they had caught on something. 373 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,120 He also reported a previous history of seeing other strange 374 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,760 things and having experienced at least one earlier time lapse as 375 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,160 a youth factors of ufologists have come to recognize as a 376 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,080 pattern with abduction cases. When sure that all conscious 377 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,160 testimony had been recorded, Godfrey agreed to be 378 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,560 hypnotically regressed by a Manchester psychiatrist eight 379 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,680 months after the incident. He eventually had several other 380 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,920 sessions with a different therapist, and his recall and 381 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,560 later sessions was videotaped. The doctor refused permission to 382 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,320 the UFO group for the first session to be recorded. 383 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,800 The hypnotic testimony is very odd, and Godfrey was never to be 384 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,600 sure what really happened. Under regression he told of the 385 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,440 bright light stopping the car engine, causing his radio and 386 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,360 police handset both to be filled with static and then to be 387 00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:49,280 swamped by blinding light as he lost consciousness. 388 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,640 His next recall was of being inside a strange room, more like 389 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280 a house and a spaceship, complete with the most 390 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,520 unexpected large black dog. He was studied by a heavily 391 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,760 bearded man who telepathically conveyed that his name was Yosef 392 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,600 and whose clothing was very biblical in nature, assisting 393 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,520 Yosef for several small robot like creatures the size of five 394 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,600 year of a 5 year old lad with a head shaped like a lamp. 395 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,280 They were reminiscent of the Greys of UFO lore, although with 396 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,280 major differences. Godfrey was supposedly asked 397 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,440 questions, told that he knew Joseph, and was promised a later 398 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,400 encounter, but apparently he was not subjected to the more 399 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,400 familiar indicative these abduction stories, especially 400 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,320 from the US, such as bodily fluid samples and rectal probes. 401 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,880 Although there were periods of missing memory, the hypnotic 402 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,520 recall that did emerge was a curious hybrid of mythic images, 403 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,360 UFO case elements, and dreamlike sequences. 404 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,720 When asked his opinion as to the reality status of his hypnotic 405 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,000 testimony, Alan Godfrey was refreshingly honest. 406 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,480 He told me he was certain that the UFO encounter was real, but 407 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,200 he could not determine whether the story offered by hypnosis 408 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,120 was a dream, a fantasy, a reality, or a mixture of all 409 00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:03,120 three. Unhappily, Alan Godfrey suffered 410 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:05,880 terribly after this encounter. When I first wrote up the 411 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,320 investigation just before the regression hypnosis began for 412 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,480 Flying Saucer Review magazine in 1981, I deliberately changed his 413 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600 identity to help protect him, although this was probably 414 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920 futile because the story had already been featured in the 415 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080 local press under Godfrey's real name. 416 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,880 However, despite my refusal to assist him, a tabloid reporter 417 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,360 traced the witness and devoted a front page banner headline 418 00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,800 article to the story read by millions over the Sunday lunch, 419 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,000 which led to the officer being called to explain himself before 420 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,800 his superiors. He was forced to undergo medical 421 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,360 investigation to determine his status, but was pronounced 422 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,200 psychologically fit and healthy. Yet after some years, feeling 423 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,320 that he would never be allowed to forget his sighting, he took 424 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,960 advice to honorably resign over unrelated physical injury 425 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,840 incurred during an incident in which he bravely intervened to 426 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,960 avert a crime. Todd Morden, both before 1980 427 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,080 and in the years since, has been a hotbed of alien contact 428 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,600 activity, with several other major encounters having been 429 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,160 investigated, including another abduction of truck driver from 430 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Burnley Rd. only a little further out of Todd Warden and 431 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,160 on the same highway. So definitely a hotspot for this 432 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,560 multiple sightings around there. I mean, this is it's so strange 433 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,840 to me that the same fellow who came upon the body of a guy just 434 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,120 the year before on this coal pile, this unexplained missing 435 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,640 person who a lot of people think was abducted and just dumped 436 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,720 there was out looking for these cattle. 437 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840 You know, a year later, nobody could find. 438 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:38,000 When they find the cattle, they are inexplicably just placed in 439 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,160 this pipe in this pasture with no tracks going in or out. 440 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,320 And then at the same time, he tells us the seduction story 441 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,480 about having come upon this spacecraft being taken aboard 442 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,160 and having this experiments went on him. 443 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,240 Very strange story indeed. Alan Godfrey. 444 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,960 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
