Abingdon, Oxfordshire, 1989, England
This video is a copy of the original, which as part of a ufo
case, was passed to BEAMS by researcher Philip Mantle, then
Director of Investigations for BUFORA, for us to take over. It was shot
in Abingdon, Oxfordshire in 1989, by witness Morris Ridgley; there is
little other information since the photographer and his family moved
away not long after the claimed event. Anyway, take a look and see what
you think.
In our estimation the footage is highly credible and does show what appears to be a solid, self-powered object moving through the air. Although no film analysis has been officially done, CGI can be ruled out as the film itself dates back to 1989.
(Listen carefully to the group of witnesses, you may need to turn up your sound.)Here are 4 letters received from Philip Mantle, (the original investigator for this case), regarding my attempts to obtain a copy of the footage - and my requests for further details about the witnesses involved.
Below we have provided some close up shots of the object for clarity.
