I'm hoping that some of the guys and ladies that worked at Watton can let me have their views on what I regard as a load of rubbish which has been published about an incident at Watton in late December 1980....You see I wasn't there ,I have no idea about the structure of how the base was operated ....AS you can see from the report which follows, I cant believe that a 'flap' at the base following ,object tracked on radar would have initiated two Police dog handlers to investigate....none of what they say seems to be the appropriate response of an RAF base during what a period of cold war...anyway let me know please .He claims that following radar tracking a large object moving just before midnight the 27th of December 1980, two RAF police dog handlers were instructed to investigate a report of strange lights heading in from the north near the airfield fence to the west of RAF Watton. This incursion caused the station officer to get into a terrible flap. Two airmen arrived at the fence to find several figures shining what appeared to be green and blue lights into the sky. This is what he had to say, “They were about 100-150 yards away from us and when we turned on our searchlights on them, they ran off very quickly, we only saw the figures for a little while in the searchlight, and these didn’t always work. We got the impression that their clothes were silvery and bulky and appeared to suck in –or not reflect the light after a few seconds .They wore visors which looked like they were split into two halves like big eyes. We had to use infrared light because we couldn’t see them in the normal searchlight .The dogs started going crazy and wouldn’t obey the code words which was trifle to bite and custard to stop. We made out report and were told to continue out patrol. The next morning a high ranking British officer questioned Thompson and his colleague .The men were advised to forget what they had seen because it was only poachers, and it was now a matter for the local police. Thompson says that their note books, duty log and occurrence book went missing! Well I have to say that I regard this as nonsense or even disinformation. The reason is that if an incursion had take place, one would think that the base would have been placed on high alert......30 years in the police makes one not to much skeptical but wary of accepting reports which have very little substance. I hope some one can help....corroborate my misgivings....thanks . Also thanks to Julian for assisting me in this matter . Once as a young officer I would have thought some body was off their trolley if they had told me about a UFO sighting (ambiguous as that terminology is) not now. At the end of the day unlike others that proliferate the UFO organisations -who I keep away from I cant give an answers,. The ones that do well !
