Q:  Jenny Randles      What made you decide to write this book, Alan?



A:   Alan Godfrey

For many years I have kept quiet about things that happened to me during the time when I was in the police force

and after the strange events that unfolded around me. I made a record of them in note form as I always wanted

to tell the truth one day when free to do so. A year or two ago I was taken ill and was worried that this might

never happen. I wanted to be sure that my Grandkids could read what took place so that they could understand

how and why I did what I did. This book tells it like it was - everything that occurred but which someone did not

want you to read. Now you can.





Q:  Jenny Randles       The first part of the book describes your life as a small town police officer in the 70s and 80s.   
                                      
                                      What was that like?



A:  Alan Godfrey

It was a different world from the force today. In the book I take you through the process of how I became a

copper and the highs and lows that I experienced during that time.  There were some tragic stories and some -

shall we say -  scrapes along the way. Plus lots of the little tales of everyday life that you get to see when on the

beat. You will probably be crying on one page at the heartbreak and chuckling away on the next to the characters

and situations that I faced. During those days I experienced all the emotions possible in human life and also

began to see the dark hints of shadow forces that were lurking in the background desperate to keep certain

things hidden.  





Q:  Jenny Randles        We then read about the most baffling case in your police career - the death of coal miner       
                                      
                                      Zigmund Adamski. Why do you think some people were so determined not to let you talk 
                                      
                                       about that?



Q: Alan Godfrey

This was possibly the biggest mystery death that happened in West Yorkshire during my years in the force. The

coroner himself said it was the most puzzling of his career. Yet it is probably not well known to many people as

someone decided that it was best kept quiet.  How did a man who went for a short walk to the corner shop vanish

and turn up dead on top of a coal heap five days later in a town where he had no connections – and with a never

explained burn like wound on his head?  I was one of the two officers first on scene and determined to try to get

answers for his tragic wheelchair bound widow. But every twist and turn those dark forces were there again trying

to keep me quiet and limit what the coroner’s inquest got to see. There are so many mysteries about this case

that some have even suggested very strange explanations for it.  I would not go that far but in death this man

certainly looked scared.  My book gives you the full facts on this unsolved case so you can judge them and make

up your own mind. And then ask why much has still never been revealed.





Q: Jenny Randles          Just weeks later and not far away you were in your patrol car when you nearly ran straight 
                                       
                                       into a UFO hovering above the road ahead. Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire. 
                                       
                                       Were you scared?


A: Alan Godfrey

Well, yes, wouldn’t you be? It was 5.10 in the morning and I was on my own and this big revolving thing was right

in front of me so close that I could have thrown a brick at it and I am sure it would have gone clang. When you see

something like that out of nowhere and you feel strange sensations and h
ear messages coming into your head

then you know this is not just a routine police patrol.  I was out there looking for some cows that had been

plaguing a local housing estate in the night. Then this happened. Worse still there was a big flash of light and

suddenly that object had gone and I was further
down the road with no idea how I got there and half an hour had

just disappeared. And that was only the start of the story. It got much weirder after that when images of strange

beings and medical experiments and much more started to reappear. What happened and why on that night I do

not know but I wanted you to hear the full story for the first time in case you can tell me. This book has new facts

and evidence and further witnesses that add to the mystery.   Oh, and the bloody cows turned up in the park

across a river behind locked gates right next to where I saw all this.





Q: Jenny Randles          Do you believe any of the sceptics who say they can explain what you saw as something
                                       
                                       ordinary?


A: Alan Godfrey

 
I do not know what happened to me and I have never pretended that I do. I know what I saw, though. And that

was none of the things that some people have tried to say that it was - such as a  bus or a vision of a futuristic

prototype house that was made locally. Neither of them can fly. This thing did!  At the end of the book, Jenny, you

describe all the investigation work that your UFO research team from Manchester made. You did not just believe

it was a spaceship and leave it at that. You looked for answers. You covered all the possibilities and put  all the

facts on what you found in here for readers to judge for themselves. If it was that easy to explain I would not have

had my career in the police cut short or still be here years later talking about it.  In your conclusions at the end

you call this ‘the greatest riddle of the 21st century’. And after 37 years digging into it I think you might be right .






Q: Jenny Randles           The last part of the book will be shocking to many readers unaware of your story. We
                                       
                                        discover the double meaning behind your title - Who or What Were They? Not just who was 
                                       
                                        behind whatever it was that you saw from your patrol car, but the origin of those covert
                                       
                                        forces that went to extraordinary lengths to try to intimidate and silence you. Not so much
                                       
                                        Men in Black - more Men in Grey Suits. 



A: Alan Godfrey

I read back the account of what happened and it still shocks me that - just because of what I saw or might have

encountered  - 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 out about it now is the right thing to do. So for the first time I can

publish all the details of those underhand tactics and how these people were apparently willing to stop at

nothing. Why would they go to such extremes just over
the possibility of someone seeing a UFO and perhaps its

occupants? What was so disturbing about the events that I experienced? It poses dark questions about who knows

what and why about these matters that they wield such power over ordinary people’s lives. At least the readers of

my book can finally hear my side of the story and perhaps conclude who or what they were?

 


Alan, thank you very much.
