UFOs In Normanton, Wakefield: Aliens Or From Nearer To Home?
An illustration by David Sankey of how the UFO landing in Normanton could have looked.
Published on Thursday 17 January 2013 09:48
THREE mysterious figures dressed in silver suits were seen in a field in Normanton before taking off in a “dull grey” object shaped like a “Mexican hat”.
The unusual sighting on July 7, 1980, has been revealed in a new book about UFOs.
And its author is keen to track the family who saw the landing.
Retired policeman John Hanson has compiled volume seven of Haunted Skies (1980), which catalogues everyday reports of UFOs seen in and around the UK skies.
His latest book includes an account in Normanton by Joyce Westerman and her six children, including Sandra, eight. They recounted their encounter to researchers Philip Mantle and Mark Birdsall a few years later.
In the book Mr Mantle said: “Joyce ran outside and saw, just a matter of a few hundred yards away, in the fields adjacent to her house, an object on the ground, described as being dull grey in colour, and had the appearance of a Mexican hat.
“Around the object stood three very tall ‘men’, all of who appeared to be dressed in silver suits.
This is an interesting case,not your typical siting of unexplained lights in the sky but an actual craft that was spotted on the ground with 3 tall figures in silver suites.
