Kent UFOs Head for London
- More "Flying saucers" spotted in capital's spooked
satellite
ALIEN SPOTTERS from around the world could soon descend upon
Kent following fresh claims of U.F.O.(Unidentified Flying Object)
activity in the area. What's more, it now appears that the craft
could be heading for London.
Kent, also known as The Garden of England, borders London
and the latest revelations show that the visitors from afar could
be homing in on the capital. We reported back in 1998 that Mark
Watts, Member of European Parliament for East Kent, had demanded
an investigation into U.F.O. sightings the previous year in the
Hythe area, to the east of the county.
LondonNet has received a letter from a reader, Irene Brennan,
who says she witnessed unexplained aerial activity in the summer
of 1998.
"I was driving down to Maidstone in Kent from Suffolk
(in the evening) and somewhere on the road after the Dartford
tunnel I noticed a bright light in the sky that seemed to be
staying in the same place all the time. It stayed in the same
position for quite a long while as I drove down the motorway
and I approached it and literally drove underneath whatever it
was," said Brennan.
This places the U.F.O.s to the west of the county and within
just a few miles of the outskirts of London.
The craft "was triangular shaped with lights at each
corner and as I looked up I could see that the underside of the
object was divided into sections. I wondered if it could have
been a Harrier or the "invisible" Stealth bomber or
something but I didn't see any wheels hanging down, just the
lights at the corner of the triangle".
Brennan's first thoughts were of self-doubt. However, a friend
claims to have seen alien craft too.
"She came through to the bedroom to tell me that she
had been up at her bedroom window all night watching something
with a lot of lights, rather like the helicopter in Men in Black.
She had watched it for ages."
Kent seems to be at an epicentre of extraterrestrial and supernatural
phenomena. LondonNet's very own Antoinette Coll remembers something
very strange from her Kent childhood.
"The mansion at Port Lympne is widely believed to have
moved down a hill" claims the office sage. Port
Lympne is now home to a safari park run by zoologist John
Aspinall, whose controversial methods have often brought him
into the public eye.

MEP demands UFO investigation
- Numerous "independent" sightings in Kent
Mark Watts, Member of European Parliament for East Kent, has
demanded an investigation into UFO sightings in the Hythe area.
He said that were many independent sightings of strange flying
objects in the weeks leading up to the General Election last
May. They all occurred close to the home of former Home Secretary
Michael Howard. When the MP stood for the Conservative Party
leadership last summer fellow Tory Anne Widdicombe made accusations
that he had "something of the night about him".
Thus far calls for a probe have been resisted by the authorities.
Watts will continue his campaign until someone in the establishment
wakes up to his constituents demands for action.
Looking for a terrestrial alternative explanation, the sceptics
in our newsroom have suggested that the strange noises and lights
could have been government helicopters picking up and dropping
off the Home Secretary at his home? Remember the scene in Close
Encounters? They do...

RE: Kent UFOs
This is the first time I have told anyone other than friends
or family of my 'sighting'.
It was a Saturday night, about 10 pm, and a friend and myself
were almost home from a day at the 1987 NEC Birmingham motor
show. We were within about 2 miles from home when we came across
what seemed to be a light shining down on the road from above.
I slowed down and stopped the car when we were actually in the
light. I opened my window, thinking it was a helicopter to look
up at it. The light source seemed to be not far away, possibly
200 feet, maybe 2000 feet, but what amazed us was the silence.
Not a sound! The light was the most intense 'beam' of light I
had ever seen. So bright that there were no shadows and everything
could be seen so so clearly,down to twigs and blades of grass
on this dark wet night.
After about 15 - 30 seconds the light accelerated away at an
unexplainable speed. Very very very fast.
I'm a 36 year old man with all my faculties, I hope, I don't
believe in ghosts or aliens, but I know what I saw and shall
never forget this unexplained sight.

RE: UFOs
I witnessed a UFO about two weeks ago. It was about 5.15 am.
I was driving to work. I live in Cranbrook. I drove out of Cranbrook
towards Hastings where I work now about 1.5 miles outside Cranbrook
I was climbing a hill (NB it was a very clear morning, no clouds)
as I looked up I noticed a rectangular shape object hovering
in the sky. The ends were rounded, it was greyish /brown in colour
,as I climbed the brow of the hill I see it right in front (estimated
5000 feet of ground, estimated size I would say about 150 to
175 feet long).
Then I checked mirror for road position looked back up it
was gone all of this lasted about 8-10 seconds. I find it difficult
to talk about this to anyone; I have also seen other UFOs sightings
in the immediate area over the last 20 years. One is so fantastic
if I told the story to you, what I mean is I get worried people
might laugh at me. I have always wanted to tell someone but it
is hard.

Bright lights in Kent sky
To whom it may concern I would like to report a phenomenon
noticed yesterday while travelling through central Kent:
Time: 2300 hrs
Weather: Patchy low cloud
While travelling by car on M2 motorway coast bound between Sittingbourn
and Faversham circular bright lights were noticed in the sky
to the south of the motorway. they were moving at considerable
speed, tracking backwards and forwards across the sky , moving
several miles within in second or two. This phenomenon was "different
enough " to cause us to stop and view , we could not see
any logical reason for the display. it should be noted that when
travelling we also saw other people standing,viewing the lights
from a motorway bridge.the lights did not appear to be shone
from the ground , as in a Hollywood style lamp, they were completely
clear of any obvious connection.
