any pics/videos of this UFO?
What happened.....Had few days spare so went to my favorite
stomping ground at Bude.
26 October. Went to see Leslie and Beryl
with the usual warm welcome. Doesn't Leslie
look dapper in a tuxedo? And as for his new
cooker - WOW!!!.......
27 October at 11:50 am I was laying down
in a mobile home at Bude and me lad was
in the swimming pool. Everything blissfully
peaceful.
Suddenly one almighty B-A-N-G and the MH shook
violently.
As the site is run 100% on Propane I assumed that
a bottle had exploded and fearing the worst, ran
off towards the club house which is next to the
swimming pool. Both were intact and fine.
People were running everywhere looking for the
source of the explosion which really was H-U-G-E.
No smoke or damage could be seen anywhere nor were
any alarms going off.
A few minutes past and Bude was swamped with
emergency services BUT no one knew where the
bang had come from so you can imagine the sight
of firemen looking for a non existent fire to deal with.
There were no 'planes in the area so a sonic boom
was ruled out. The weather was fine.
A house had a large crack running down the brickwork
and one guy working in a garage was left deafened
by the blast.
One drivers wife had convinced him that the sudden
violent jolt of his car was a pedestrian going under
it so he was busy trying to find the Invisible Man and
didn't seem to notice 30 security guys running around
in different directions trying to trace the source of the
blast.
The blast was heard for some 30 miles radius with the
epicenter directly above (in?) Bude.
BBC cameras appeared later and item went out on SW TV
news.
The military (as usual!) denied responsibility but
as I said, no 'planes were heard.
The other possibility that was put forward was that it
was a meteorite (right time of year for it) but I
would have thought that would have left a trail of
light/smoke/damage. (I would also thunk that a meteor leaves
a double bang but not sure on this.)
Very strange indeed and the blast was a damn sight
more than I've ever heard from a Lithium battery so
no.... Nothing to do with him!
The day before, we were at Crackington Haven and a silver
cigar shaped thingy was hovering in the sky which is why I
mentioned UFO's...
Sorry, was all far too quick for picture taking and my main
concern was obviously my lad...
