JULY 1965, MILNTHORPE, CUMBRIA, U-K., A COUPLE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Coming from BUFORA investigator David Sankey is a case near Milnthorpe, Cumbria, England, in July 1965, late at night, with a couple and their baby son who were making an overnight journey when they pulled over for a cigarette break at a rest area.

Soon they noticed an intense red light, which appeared lens or domed shaped, behind a nearby dry stonewall. Within this light were three small creatures that seemed to give off a slight green luminescence. The humanoids were described as having large round staring eyes and a long nose that looked like a "small elephant trunk" with a mouth that appeared as just a slit. They had large heads and almost turnip shaped, and their bodies were round with hands with digits that were not defined.

Two of the three entities had their arms held out in front of them as if gesturing. No definite muscle tone or bone structure was seen, and they did not appeared to be wearing any clothing.

The humanoids appeared about 15 feet from the car in front of the wall when the object's brilliance was noticed. Both witnesses became frightened and drove off without seeing the humanoids depart. Later, they felt silly for reacting in a frightened manner, as they had an impression that they meant no harm.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that near Milnthorpe, Cumbria, England, in July 1965, late at night, a couple and their baby son were making an overnight journey when they pulled over for a cigarette break at a rest area. Shortly after pulling in they noticed an intense red light, which appeared lens or domed shaped, behind a nearby dry stonewall. Within this light were three small creatures that seemed to give off a slight green luminescence. The humanoids were described as having large round staring eyes and a long nose that looked like a "small elephant trunk" with a mouth that appeared as just a slit. They had large heads and almost turnip shaped, and their bodies were round with hands with digits that were not defined. Two of the three entities had their arms held out in front of them as if gesturing. No definite muscle tone or bone structure was seen, and they did not appeared to be wearing any clothing. The humanoids appeared about 15 feet from the car in front of the wall when the object's brilliance was noticed. Both witnesses became frightened and drove off without seeing the humanoids depart. Later both witnesses felt silly for reacting in a frightened manner towards the creatures, because they had an impression that they meant no harm.

Albert Rosales indicates as source "David Sankey for BUFORA."

[Ref. pb1:] PRIMEBASE:

The "PRIMEBASE" project by Robert Moore is an attempt to list all the U.K's "True UFO" reports.

The Primebase entry for the case indicates that it occurred in 1965 at night in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, U-K., that a red dome or lens-shaped UFO was seen, with green small glowing big-headed entities, that the investigator was David Sankey, that the case is unidentified and open.

Points to consider:

David Sankey was a BUFORA (www.bufora.org.uk) investigator with a long interest in UFOs and the "paranormal" who became a computer graphics artists and illustrator in 2001 (See www.davidsankey.com).

The object and the beings seen at very short distance do not seem to correspond to anything which comes from our planet, unfortunately, this potentially most interesting case lacks a documentary base, only a summary being available for the time being.
