UFOs can damage your health, part two

JENNY RANDLES examines further evidence of dangerous plasma energies connected with UFOs

Last issue I looked at startling revelations made in two new books. One, was the suggestion by astrophysicist Andrew Pike that plasma energy might have played a role in the UFO events in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, in 1980, a case that led to severe physiological responses in witnesses and electrical interference, radiation considered above normal and health issues for US servicemen. The other was from police officer Alan Godfrey, who added details of his close encounter in Todmorden, Yorkshire, four weeks before Rendlesham. These revealed long-term physiological responses to his encounter, plasma-like energy beams and a gagging order imposed by the Ministry of Defence. But is there any other evidence that powerful UFO energies might be interacting with close encounter witnesses to the detriment of their health?

Remarkably, just hours after US airmen saw UFOs in Rendlesham, another case occurred near Houston, Texas. On the chilly evening of 29 December 1980 Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and grandson Colby saw a large mass with blue circling lights that created a wall of heat. They got out of the car to look. On her hurried return to the car, Vickie burnt her hand on the now red-hot door handle, presumably caused by energy from the UFO. Several black unmarked Chinook helicopters then arrived and seemed to shepherd the object away. All three witnesses quickly became ill, with varying symptoms such as headaches, vomiting and incontinence – but the worst affected was Betty, who had stayed outside of the car for the longest time. Her hair even started to fall out. It is possible that the car’s metal body acted as a Faraday cage to shield the other occupants from whatever energy was involved. Whilst Vickie and Colby slowly recovered, Betty Cash spent weeks in hospital and remained ill for some time. One doctor thought this was the consequence of the energy emerging from the UFO she had reported. Sceptics argue that her illness was pre-existing and flared up by chance. She died a few years later, but Vickie survived into her 80s. In 1986 the women went to the US court to try and claim damages for their health expenses. The judge rejected their claim on grounds that, whilst other locals reported seeing the helicopters, there was no official record and they could not prove that they, or the UFO, were connected to the US government.

Of course, the other possibility is that the phenomenon involved is some kind of ‘unexplained atmospheric plasma’ that occurs in certain circumstances and is understandably perceived as a structured craft with alien connotations. There are other cases suggesting this. One of the most intriguing occurred in pouring rain at 11.30pm on 6 June 1977 at Lartington, County Durham. An agricultural worker riding his motorbike home saw two purple lights to his side and then noticed he was losing power as he ascended a small hill. A car was just starting to overtake him and that too was slowing down. Suddenly, they were both enveloped in a fuzzy UV light that was almost blinding. As the motorcyclist tried to control his bike it was pulled up the incline. At that moment, the rider noticed steam pouring off his leathers from his back and legs, which were getting unbearably hot. Struggling for control of his machine he stopped, as did the car, just as the misty violet glow overhead vanished. The driver and the motorcyclist spoke to one another in shock. The driver said he’d lost all engine power for about 30 seconds when the glow was overhead and yet was “pulled forward”. The rainwater that soaked the motorbike in the downpour evaporated in seconds and the rider’s leathers remained rough where the steam emerged, as seen by local investigators a few days later. The metal side of the motorbike had been far hotter than normal and impossible to touch without risking serious burns. His brakes, perfect up to that night, were found to be so badly worn that they needed completely resetting. On his arrival home the rider’s mother remarked on his appearance. Despite it being after midnight on a very wet night he looked sunburnt all over his face, the skin hot to the touch. This faded over the course of the next day, but he experienced nausea and an upset stomach for a few days.

A similar incident occurred on the evening of 13 March 1980 to a contract driver on a job near the village of Haselor, Warwickshire. A cigar-shaped reddish-white mass quickly passed across his front windscreen and the steering wheel he was holding became instantly hot. He had to remove his hands but still got a nasty burn. Luckily, he was able to manoeuvre the car off the road until it cooled enough to steer. The UFO had disappeared. The wheel had a metal coil inside; perhaps the rapid passage of the object, radiating some form of energy, had induced a current in it, producing heat.

In a third case, a man looking for farm work near Oswestry, Shropshire, on the clear morning of 9 February 1988, saw a dog run from a parked car as he was passing. It crossed the road and ran barking straight into a strange swirling yellowish glowing mist. This straddled a hedgerow and enveloped the barking animal as it ran into it. The shocked female owner emerged from the car and the witness followed her towards the still floating object and tried to calm her screams. As they approached, their hair stood on end and their skin began tingling as an eerie stillness enveloped them. Moments later, the misty glow disappeared as if it were melting away. On the ground where the mist had been lay the dog, looking very ill. Its eyes were red and coat was soaking wet, yet this moisture was evaporating rapidly, with steam visibly pouring upward off the stricken animal. The man carried the heavily breathing pet back to the woman’s car and she drove off without saying a word; but he managed to get her licence plate and later traced her. She told him that the dog recovered an hour or so later, but died a few weeks later, although the animal was elderly and so this might have been coincidence.

These cases are remarkably consistent and are by no means the only examples. Together, they strongly support the existence of a dangerous energetic phenomenon that I prefer to call a UAP. Whether they are entirely natural atmospheric forces or are being harnessed in covert research projects, they are clearly harmful and pose a risk to anyone close by. I know of three cases of this type in which a witness later developed cancer. One died young as a consequence and the other two required surgery. That is a high percentage from a sample of about 100.

Are governments aware of such cases, and is that why they pay close attention to UFO reports that may involve a highly energetic UAP? Recently a heavily redacted report was released into the public record. Known as the Condign Study, it was carried out in 2000/2001 by a scientist whose name is removed but who reported to the MoD UFO team. It reveals that secret research into UAP is happening in the US and Russia and discusses why we must keep on top of the problem. One of the most interesting unredacted sections sees the author of the report comment on the Rendlesham Forest incident: “The well reported Rendlesham Forest/Bentwaters event is an example where it might be postulated that several observers were probably exposed to UAP radiation for longer than normal UAP sighting periods.” A reasonable concern: but the Rendlesham case is by no means unique. And if we know that, then you can bet the powers-that-be around the world know it too.
