A former policeman is still claiming he was abducted by aliens while out on patrol, some 37 years later.
Alan Godfrey’s ‘close encounter’ made him famous in 1980, but it also led to the demise of his career as a copper.
In his tell-all book, the 70-year-old alleges his superiors tried to silence him and get him sectioned.
The ‘abduction’ on November 28, 1980, attracted national headlines. He was even interviewed by Frank Bough on BBC Breakfast.
Alan says his fame came at a price. He says his superiors banned him from Todmorden police station, effectively ending his nine-year career with West Yorkshire police.
It all came after Alan began investigating a case of missing cows, when he saw a very strange sight – a UFO hovering over his patrol car.
Alan tried to call for help but his radio was dead so he jotted down a sketch of it on his notepad.
He experienced 30 minutes of ‘missing time’ and later underwent hypnosis in a bid to retrieve his memories.
And to his horror he says he remembered seeing several small beings and a tall man with a beard performing medical tests on him.
He said: ‘Someone was determined to stop at nothing to undermine my efforts to tell the truth. It turned into a nightmare and cost me dear but speaking about it is the right thing to do.’ Alan said he has kept quiet about things that happened to him during his time with the police force and the strange events that later unfolded.
Man nearly ate deadly sea creature for lunch after finding it on the beach After taking ill a year ago, he decided to write down his experiences so his grandchildren could know the truth.
‘This book tells it like it is – everything that occurred but which someone did not want you to read,’ he said. Alan said the UFO was the size of a double decker bus and seemed to be rotating, then suddenly the object vanished and he was 30 yards further down the road.
‘When you see something like that out of nowhere and you feel strange sensations and hear messages coming into your head then you know this is not just a routine police patrol.’ He drove back to the scene and discovered the road was dry despite it having rained.
A bus travelling on the road stopped and the driver got out and noticed the same thing. Alan said it got much weirder after that when images of strange beings and medical experiments and much more started to reappear. Alan’s book is called Who or What Were They? as he is still trying to come to terms with what happened.
Early muhamedan ‘settlers’?
I’ve not heard about any cops being abducted by aliens in countries where the police carry firearms. Guess the aliens are not stupid.
It may have happened, but I can’t recall a single ufo-sighting story where anyone claimed to have shot at the thing.
So was it Grays or Blacks?
Whoever came up with that book title needs a horsewhipping.
He is in good company. A congresswoman said the same thing in Florida....I wonder if they saw each other. Many crazies in our World.
See something, say something.
That was such a great show!
Man nearly ate deadly sea creature for lunch after finding it on the beach!
“Who or What Were They?”
“What happened?”
This is the second unrelated story tonight, where that particular sentence pops up.
The other story was about this lady arrested for trying to bite a cop.
They’re all stories from the same UK website.
But American cops do see them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_%28UFO%29#2000_.E2.80.93_Southern_Illinois_incident
– Southern Illinois incident
“The “St. Clair Triangle”, “UFO Over Illinois”, “Southern Illinois UFO”, or “Highland, Illinois UFO” sighting occurred on January 5, 2000 over the towns of Highland, Dupo, Lebanon, Shiloh, Summerfield, Millstadt, and O’Fallon, Illinois, beginning shortly after 4:00 am. Five on-duty police officers around these locales, along with various other eyewitnesses, sighted and reported a massive, silent, triangular craft operating at an unusual treetop level altitude and speeds.[14]”
One of the most famous UFO sightings was by Lonnie Zamora, a New Mexico police officer:

What was the deal with eating the sea creature? Was that even part of this story?
Okay. But why travel gazillions of miles and anal probe? Is there some secret sauce there? Killing myself...hahahahahaha.
Beat me to that one.
I just wish we could nominate who gets abducted. Starting with the politicians. “To Serve Man”— Twilight Zone, 1962
