- Is retired Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton preparing to
- join Mr Spock in the higher echelons of Starfleet Command? The
- question is not as far-fetched as might be imagined. The former
- Chief of the Defence Staff believes that the earth may have been
- visited by creatures from other worlds.
- In a forward to Alien Liaison, a new book on the subject of
- unidentified flying objects by session musician Mr Timothy Good,
- Lord Hill-Norton writes that the "astounding revelations" Mr Good
- makes are "impossible, certainly for me, to dismiss unless they are
- . . . publicly disproved". He invites the many scientists and
- political figures quoted to "either put up or shut up" if they feel
- they have been misrepresented.
- Among Mr Good's odder revelations are that aliens have been
- cutting off slices of cow - usually rump - for analysis in their
- intergalactic laboratories. In addition to the distasteful practice
- of bovine lo-bottomy, is the claim by a well-known rocket scientist
- that several US presidents may have been visited by a spaceman
- called Alan and that a Brazilian man was once seduced by a
- four-and-a-half-foot tall alien woman ("beautiful, though of a
- different type from the women I had known") from whom he contracted
- "what can only be described as a type of cosmic 'clap' ".
- Lord Hill-Norton is not put off by Mr Good's extraordinary
- tales. "The plain fact is that either what he reports here is true,
- or it isn't. If his accounts of recovered UFOs and their alien
- occupants being in the hands of United States government agencies
- (and perhaps those of the Soviet Union too) are not true, then it
- seems that many important and distinguished former public servants
- have perhaps lied, or have been grossly mis-reported. In the latter
- event, one must expect and hope that they will take the appropriate
- legal action to set the record straight."
- Fighting talk, suggesting genuine conviction. And the admiral
- is not alone in his beliefs. At least three former US presidents,
- Mr Richard Nixon, Mr Jimmy Carter and Mr Ronald Reagan are UFO
- converts (somehow one just knew it would be them) while the Soviet
- leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, has stated for the record that the
- phenomenon "does exist and must be treated seriously".
- The index to Mr Good's book does not list any British prime
- ministers who have expressed interest in flying saucers, but this
- can probably be explained by the allegation that our putative
- aliens are power groupies and make instinctively for the White
- House. Mr Kinnock's views are similarly unrecorded. In this country
- the admiral, whose chosen title is Baron Hill-Norton of South
- Nutfield, appears to be the only leader to whom a
- protocol-conscious alien could reasonably turn.
