New book lists police encounters with UFOs
“UFOS have been with us since the turn of the last century.”
That’s the conclusion of former police detective John Hanson who also evidence suggests we will continue to experience UFO phenomena for some time to come.
John, who served 27 years with West Midlands Police as a detective, has spent a quarter of a century researching UFO sighting across the UK and plans to open The GB UFO Museum in Exhall near Stratford next year.
“They have been with us for many years,” said John who has written around 20 books on British UFO sightings. “I get asked if I believe in UFOs and after so much research I am convinced of their existence, it’s just some of the evidence is kept under cover. The more you get into this - the deeper it gets.”
John has just published his latest UFO book with serving police officer, Inspector Roy Teague, which details eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings as reported by police officers all over the UK.
Titled, Policing the Haunted Skies, it catalogues the experiences of officers who have witnessed something out of the ordinary while on the beat.
“I know from my career, police don’t form any conclusions but it does take a lot of courage for a copper to come forward and say what they have seen. There are countless sightings all over the country. I used to keep an open mind but now I’m convinced UFOs exist. If you’d asked me years ago if I though UFOs and ghosts existed I would have said “no” but people talk about ghosts all the time and I now think they are an interaction which takes place between us and someone from a different time and they’re just as surprised to see us as we are them,” John said.
He added Stratford has had a lot of UFO sightings dating back decades like the illuminated dome seen by motorists hovering over Evesham Road near Luddington in 1994 which was reported in the Herald at the time.
