A FORMER police officer saw a UFO, and what he thought were children that
“disappeared all of a sudden”, while driving from Hertford to Puckeridge.
The sighting was in July last year, but has only emerged within the last few days on a
UFO-watcher’s website.
In his tantalising account the ex-cop, who identified himself only as Nick R, wrote: “I saw
whilst driving along the A10 going home one evening after work north a light which was
not the moon, orange and oval in shape. I drove into my parking space in Puckeridge
and went into my flat. Faffed about for about 10 minutes then went outside for a
cigarette.
“I saw something which I have never told anyone about. My flat was in Cambridge Court
in Puckeridge backed on to fields. I saw in the twilight what I thought were kids messing
about. No, as the light faded around 21.30 the orange globe appeared in the sky. I was
at this time watching something on TV, then went outside for a cigarette again.”

Chillingly he raised the prospect of seeing alien beings that he initially thought were
“children”, in the field – a so-called ‘close encounter of the third kind’.
He added: “I know that area is a flight path from Stansted, but that was strange.
“The children disappeared all of a sudden. I lived there for one-and-a-half years, and
never experienced anything like that.”
In reply to the post another site user wrote: Intrigued by your report, am interested in
sightings on either 25/26th of July in this area seems to be a pattern.”
He suggested Nick R report his sighting on another site dedicated to serving and retired
police officers’ sightings of UFO-related phenomena.

Comments by Colin Andrews:
There are striking similarities to another case at Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England
within days.
Both cases involve policeman (one retired), also within days of each other in July
2009, both driving to their homes after work, both involve mysterious 'beings' and
UFO seen at the same time by one but later by the other. See the Silbury Hill
incident HERE. When people of this kind of standing and integrity and also hold
positions of authority in our society become the witnesses they might have
thought crazy before, a new level is reached.
