We looked at the impressive Silbury Hill crop circle (described as a Mayan headdress linked, on little evidence, to 2012) a few days ago and now things have ramped up a notch:

The latest bizarre event took place yesterday morning (7th) at approximately 5.0 AM, when a Wiltshire Police Sergeant was driving in his private car towards Marlborough on the A4 highway and about to pass Silbury Hill on his left.  He looked to his right and witnessed three exceptionally tall beings inspecting the new crop circle which appeared there on the 5th July.  He stopped his vehicle and watched them for several minutes because they stood out as odd.  Each of them were well over six feet tall, each had blond hair and also they all were wearing one piece white suites, with hoods that had been dropped onto the back of their heads.

After a few minutes watching them, he said they were appeared to be examining the crop in the circle, he shouted at them from a distance of about 400 yards but they ignored him.  As soon as he entered the field, they became aware of him and ran at an amazing speed to the south, away from Silbury Hill.  He said I recognised that I could never catch up with them they ran so exceptionally fast.  He glanced away for just a few seconds and looked back to find that they had completely vanished. He became very uneasy and left the scene.

The source also includes more reports from the same area, including reports of a military interest connected with missing times and an encounter with a giant alien.

My thoughts:

• It is great to see the Nordics back again, after so long on the sidelines
• Is this the next stage in the Situationist's crop circle making? Hanging round dressed as aliens and scaring policemen? I know it'd be something I'd be tempted to do!!

Of course, it might be the copper misidentified a couple of hippies - this is Glastonbury and if you throw a stone you'll hit one (although it is unsporting to aim, so I'm told) - or a group of Scandianvian tourists. However, that is much less fun.

We have looked at UFOs, as a morsel in the Cannock Chase smorgasbord of strangeness, a few times, including a passing mention of a UFO crash in the area. Nick Redfern popped in and pointed us to his On the Trail of the Saucer Spies, where he goes into more detail. However, he gives a quick overview:

For years, the case (like so many others!) languished in obscurity. But, in 1996, Irene Bott, then the President of the now-defunct Staffordshire UFO Group, was contacted by a local, elderly man who claimed deep knowledge of the event.

So, on a cold, windy and wet morning in December of that year, me and Irene headed out to his home and were told a strange and intriguing story of a crashed UFO, a high-level military and police cover-up, and of what may have been deep surveillance of the witness himself - and maybe even of me and Irene, too.

It was a truly strange and surreal interview, and one which I have never forgot.

The main point of the post though is to point us to a new blog by a local investigator who is digging further into this story: Penkridge Incident 1964. This is exactly the kind of of investigation I've suggested a lot of the cases require so I'll be keeping my eye on progress.
