Unexplained Craters
In Britain 4
On the 20th of July, 19S3, farmer Roy
Blanchard, of Charlton, Dorset, England,
discovereed an unusual crater on his
arm. The news of the discovery was
carried in the press throughout the
world and was given a great deal of
newspaper coverage. The crackpots and
armchair theorists had their day, but
after all the furor was over, these are
the basic and interesting facts:
Constable Anthony Penny had observ-
ed an orange object which flashed
through the sky on the day the crater
was found, and at 6 a.m., on an unspe-
cified morning before the crater was
found, Leonard Joliffe, a dairyman at
Manor Farm, near Blanchard's, heard
blast or explosion. We begin this docu-
mention with these facts for, although
it has not and cannot be established
that they are related to the crater, it is
felt that any occurrence which might
account for the mystery hole should be
documented.
The physical description of the Blan-
chard crater is as follows: The deepest
portion was three feet wide with a portion was three feet wide with a
amaller hole, 2 inches in diameter and
three feet deep, in the center. Around
the large depression was a circular area
which was depressed but not "dug out"
like the middle section. On one side
of this crater a trench about 4 feet long of this crater a trench about 4 feet long
and a foot wide, and three others of the
same dimension radiated from the op-
posite side of the hole. The main, circu-
lar crater was located in a potato field, -
and the three trenches on one side ex-
tended beyond a footpath at the edge
of the potato field and into a barlev of the potato field and into a barley
field. In the area of these latter
trenches, the bariey plants had disap-
peared, appearing to have been "sucked
up" by something.
According the NJAAP Journal

formation were Blanchard, and Mr.
Charles Stickland, three other areas ap-

caught sight of a g glowing object

approximately 45 degrees to the

later we saw the same thing
again. They were not very high.
It was not a shooting star or a
meteorite, I know what they
look like--and neither was s it a
satellite,' said Mr. O'Dowd.
He added that it appeared to He added that it appeared to
be a little smaller than the full
moon. With the three brothers
was Mr. John Parker (26), of
Atlas Street, Nottingham, who
told them that he had seen a
similar phenomenon once before.

a mysterious object, like an
orange ball of fire, had been seen
in the sky over Bristol twice
