public looks to papers like the Mail for the truth -
and that argument can be left to those better able 2
to sustain it. However, in another letter to one
of the readers of the Review, the Daily Mail
replied that even the retraction did not prove
that the Charlton crater had been caused by a
flying saucer. This is particularly revealing be-
cause nobody had said that it did. What is
betrayed is a fear that the cause of flying g saucers
might t be advanced (as indeed it has been) by a
public admission that the crater mystery cannot
be solved by any rationalisation. When the
meteorite hoax had been exposed, the Daily Mail
(which earlier this year had expressed its dis-

If the Daily Mail is anti-saucer because it fears

those who distort the truth, not at those who are
attempting to proclaim it.

"Did Bomb or Saucer Put Hole
in a British Potato Patch?
The small townlet of Charlton, England (population 423) was suddenly placed on the map
during July. I963, when a strenge 8 foot wide crater appeared in a potato patch on the
farn of Mr Rov Branchard.
Ixo members of parliament demanded an investigation. An army bomb disposal unit
appeared on the scene on July 24th, stating that they were tackling the crater as a
normal bomb disposal job."
Speculation zipped around the country. Some thought it was a meteor, while others
speculated that it ight have been the resuft of a World War Two Bomb, which deterio-
rated for twenty yeers before finally going off. Still others, including Blanchard.
Hundreds of curious sightseers began to appear in the Brea around the farm. Among them
was a man claining to be an Australian Scientist. He claimed thot the crater was made
by a spaceship from the planet Uranus. However, a check with local scientific cireles

Despite the apparent explanation. sightseers continued to peer into the roped-off
crater. Wky? Several points do not fit the meteor explanation.
First. there wes the fact that in a neighboring barley field. a fifty-foot circle of
barley had been beaten down, coinciding with the appearance of the crater./
Also coinciding with the advent of the crater was the fact that one of Mr. Blenchard's
cows began to shed it'o skin, as if it were burned. Could this have beon caused by
he meteor? Probably not without killing the cow.. It Nas also noted thet both borley
and potatoes were aissing from Mr. Blancbard's field, apparently unaccountably.
What does Blanchard think? "As far as I'm concerned", he said, "something strange

The Charlton crater was reported fully in the September-October issue
of the FLYING SAUCER REVIEW as it had attracted the widest publicity,
but others, including the Westmorland craters, were briefly reported in
the World Round Up section. Here is a fuller report by a local investiga-

14 July 1963
Informati on Only Parkstone, Great B.
Cource: Flying Saucers, Aug 64
On the morning of Sunday, 14th
July, 1963 Mr. Frank Selwood of
Albert Road, Parkstone woke at
3 a.m., and on looking out of
his bedroom window he was amazed
to see a strange object in the
early morning sky. For, hovering
over a gasholder at the back of
his house was a h hugecigar-shaped
object "about as big as four ter-
raced houses."
After trying unsuccessfully to
wake his wake his wiie,' Mr. Seiwe wife, Mr. Selwood re-
turned to the window to find the
object still hovering about 300feet object still hovering about 300feet
from the ground. In the middle ground. In the middle
was was an an intermittent wavy blue-
green light. From the object
came a flapping sound, like a
broken-down dynamo, and a quiet broken-down dynamo, and a quiet
sort of whistling.
It continued to hover for almost
three minutes and then suddenly
sprang into life. The motor whined
louder and the flashing light be- louder and the flashing light tbe-
came continuous along theobject's continuous along the object's
entire length. It then moved off
towards the west at a fantastic
speed.
Friends and relatiyes to whom
Mr. Selwood spoke about his ex-
perience did not belleve him, and
suggested that he had a bad dream.
But he has talked about the in-
cident so much since that they
are now sure that he did see some-
thing, and that it was no dream
or hallucination,
This sighting was made three
days before the news of the Charl-
ton Crater was reported in the
newspapers.
