-
- PHANTOM hitch-hikers, sonic booms and strange lights in the sky are just some
- of the cases that have kept the Anomaly Invesigation Association busy in the
- last few months.
-
- But one problem that often hinders the AIA's exhaustive investigations is the
- reluctance of many witnesses to put their name to their experiences.
-
- AIA co-ordinator Jeffrey Ellington, pictured left, explained: "People are
- willing to talk over the phone, but usually reluctant to fill in a report form
- or put their signiture against any statement,
-
- "This means we can't include their reports in our files, as we are usually
- unable to clean all the information a face-to-face interview would give us. In
- spite of the interest in UFOs, there's still a stigma attached to reporting
- one.
-
- "That's probably because people think that if you say you've seen a UFO, you
- mean a spacecraft being flown by little green aliens.
-
- "What you're really saying is that you've seen a flying object you cannot
- identify.
-
- "There's nothing strange about that. But we should stress that we treat every
- case confidentially unless the witness doesn't mind us circulating their
- details."
-
- - Can you shed light on any of these mysteries, or do you have one of your own
- you'd like the AIA to investigate? Call the AIA on 01487 815960.
