WHO OR WHAT WERE THEY? by Alan Godfrey
A book 37 years in the making
Only now is it possible for Alan Godfrey to reveal what happened before, during and after
his close encounter in Todmorden, whilst driving a police patrol car on duty.
Someone wanted to stop you reading these facts.
But now you can.
With the help of professional UFO researcher, Jenny Randles, one of the original team to
investigate this case in 1981, the extensive notes and evidence that Alan studiously recorded
over the years has been turned into an explosive book.
Find out why:
Forces claiming to be from the Ministry of Defence used the official secrets act to try
to keep the author from talking
How their concern was not just his close encounter with a UFO but over his
involvement as first officer on scene in one of the most baffling unexplained deaths
in West Yorkshire history
The unexpected links between Alan's close encounter and the world famous
Rendlesham Forest incident just 4 weeks later
Shock evidence that phone tapping, mail interception and even agents covertly
planted inside UFO investigation groups may have happened in the UK
And the extraordinary lengths that the police went to in attempting to destroy a
commended officer's credibility - with intimidation, attempts to disprove his sanity
and even threats to his liberty
For the first time you can read the full inside story of everything that happened.
Then ask who did not care or want you to know what happened in this quiet Yorkshire town
about whoever or whatever were they behind this extraordinary close encounter.
In conclusion Jenny Randles sets these events in context of what else was happening at the
time and reveals the investigation made to try to resolve what occurred and whether the
UFO that visited Todmorden that night came from here on Earth or somewhere else.
Here is a sneak peek from the introduction to this book:
Climbing up the slippery railway sleepers holding back a mountain of loose coal, I
reached the top and peered over the rim.
What I saw next would haunt me for the rest of my life.
I was no more than inches away from the face and staring into the open eyes of an
obviously dead body.
Of course, I had seen bodies before during my service in the police but this one was
inexplicably terrifying.
In fact it sent a shiver down my spine.
Those eyes staring up at me seemed to draw me in, as though they were trying to tell me
something.
In those moments I thought about the last sight that this poor man must have witnessed.
Why did that image produce such a chill inside? This was a question that would long stay
with me.
