Flying Saucer Review January 1986 [antikvár]

The question now remains: What do the humanoids have in store for us in the near future? (The text of this Editorial, in which we have taken the liberty of making certain changes of a precautionary nature, first appeared in the CUFORN BULLETIN for May-June, 1985, and is reproduced here with their permission.) EDITOR CLOSE ENCOUNTER ON BAGSHOT HEATH Omar Fowler, Consultant to FSR, Chairman, Surrey Investigation Group (SIGAP) In our volume 29, No. 2, we published Mr Fowler's account of the extraordinary story of the old man Alfred Burtoo who claimed to have been taken aboard a landed craft near Aldershot in the early hours of August 12,1983, but released by the entitles as being too old and Infirm (he was 78) for their purposes. Mr Fowler here follows up with the equally extraordinary and exciting account of the butcher, Mr David McMurray, who claims to have been "buzzed" more recently by two UFOs at Bagshot Heath, just some five or six miles from where old Mr Burtoo had had his adventure! From the sketches given by Mr Burtoo and Mr McMurray respectively readers may agree that it is probably highly likely that the same type of alien craft was Involved in both cases. EDITOR ON the night of Sunday 15th September 1985 at 9pm, the McMurray family were driving home after visiting friends in Guildford, Surrey. They were travelling in their car along the busy A322 towards Bagshot and then turned off the main road at the "Gordon Boys School" roundabout, heading for Farn-borough down Red Road (B311) — the time was three minutes past nine. In the car was Mr David McMurray, his wife Sue and two small children. They had gone only about a quarter of a mile down the road, when as they turned a slight bend, they were met with an amazing sight. An object was hovering over the road (see sketch) only fifty to sixty yards ahead of them. The light was so intense that for a moment David McMurray turned his head away. Then as they continued to approach it, another similar object came up from behind the trees on the left of the road and travelled alongside of them just behind the trees skirting the road. They noticed briefly that another car following them had come to an abrupt stop and pulled to the side of the road. Meanwhile, the first object that had been hovering over the road had shot off skyward and disappeared. This incident had occurred along a lonely stretch of road in heathland adjoining the Bagshot/Lightwater area. There are some Tumuli within a hundred yards of the initial sighting, and a national grid power line crosses the road at the same point. Mr McMurray made a quick decision to continue down the road as fast as he could for about a mile, where there is a new property development and the chance to run to a nearby house. As he turned the bend with the houses in sight, he drew over to the opposite side of the road, stopped and got out of the car. The children were asleep in the back of the car and Mrs McMurray locked her door and refused to get out. As their car stopped, so did the UFO, and it hovered over the top of the trees just across the other side of the road, at a height of about fifty feet. Mr McMurray stood watching "it" and he got the impression that "it" was watching him. He heard a buzz- mo o oa9 Ml? BOKFOO'S SKCro OF CKAFT Fig. 1. Mr McMurray's sketch of the craft. Fig. 2.
