Subject: Enid Bagnold (English author) In her autobiography, Enid Bagnold reproduces an illustrated entry from her great uncle's ship's log dated around 1815. He draws the familiar flying saucer and observes he has witnessed this phenomenon a couple of times before. Around 1969, my brother came home from a Wednesday night football match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs (London) saying he (and the rest of the crowd) had seen strange activity in the sky. I think he said was it strange lights that rose and lowered at a fantastic rate of speed. I told him he was crazy, but the following morning it was in all the English papers and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Subsequently the Government came out with a lame excuse, that it was merely a plane circling whilst waiting to land at Heathrow. I do not see this event listed anywhere, but all the English papers at that time (1968/69) were reporting it for several days. My brother has been going to Arsenal since 1962 and has never seen such a before or phenomenon since. Marie |
