Out of Africa: underground at an American base in England

What was reported

Around 1972/73, at an American base in England he thinks was Lakenheath or Mildenhall, Willsher again asked soldiers about UAPs. Some walked off; an older man in tinted glasses warned he was causing problems. Two huge Military Policemen marched him through an 'Authorized Personnel Only' door, down steps to a lift going further underground, and into a room of TV screens, one displaying his entire life history. Console operators asked what organisation he belonged to. A Colonel arrived, knew his name, had a numbered form stamped, and released him to start the cabaret his wife wanted. At breakfast next day the Colonel showed him gun-camera photographs from fighter planes of huge glows and metallic structures, said these had been dealt with for years, and explained that the truth touched religion, national security and the whole planet, so science-fiction films were preparing the young.

What Hind made of it

Hind prints the account as told and offers no verdict.

In their words

• We've been dealing with these for years and years and years.

• This is connected with religion, it's connected with national security, it's connected with the entire planet.

• you can tell who you like, they're not gonna believe you, and those who do will be a very small number in your circle
