EVIDENCE OP SAUCER LANDING IN ENGLAND: Shortly before prees time,
an ineident nearly identical to the ons abe brought to our attontion, by
the London Unidentified Flying Object ganization, of London, Eng-
land: A farmer named Bill Edwards s pasture fields one
iaprints in ground which formed
two coneentrie circles - the outer cne approximatel eet in diameter, and
the inner one l6 feet aeross.. The width ef the imprints inches, and the
grass at the edge of thom showed indications of having beon burned. The depth grass at the edge of rned. The depth
of th. imprints was about one inch, leading to the almost inoscapable conclu- of the imprints was bou one inch, leading to the almost inoscapable conclu-
sion that they were caused by some large heavy circular object which had land-
ed recently in tho fiold. The ground was very hard, as there had been.no rain ed recently in the field. The ground was very hard, as there had been.no rain
recently, and this fact added the evidence. that the object which landed thoconiect -whioh lardnd
must have been very heavy indeed. Mhe-field in question is about a half mile
from. the nearest road,, and no vehicle could have reached the spot without
thers being scme sign of approach through other fields - but there were no
such signs. . Edwards had been to the same only two days previously, and
according to him there were definitely no o circles visible then. The day pre-
vious to the discovery of the mystorious s circles, Edwards and some helpers
were working in a nearby field. They noticed nothing umusual that day, nor did
arry other local resident report anything umusual. Thus, thi case is defini te-
ly one of the strangest on record.
