The Warminster Thing?

Victor’s Story

‘Did me and my friend see the Warminster Thing in 1977 at Cley Hill? Some friends of mine were having a conversation about UFOs in 1977 and we decided to visit Cley Hill one night for a vigil. We arrived around 11pm but I can’t remember what the date was.

We managed to climb to the top in virtual darkness. It was a clear night and from the top we could see for miles and saw all the lights from nearby villages and towns, saw helicopter activity from nearby army bases and watched satellites for an hour or so. Other than that, there was nothing out of the ordinary flying or moving about.

We bought a tent so we decided to scale back down the hill and find somewhere to pitch the tent. Heading back to the car we drove around some local lanes but it’s hard to find somewhere when you are in the country in darkness with no streetlights. I found a gated field entrance which I pulled up to and my friends got out the tent and stuff from the boot, including a couple of torches. I admit I was starting to feel a bit vulnerable being in the middle of nowhere near the bottom of Cley Hill in UFO country.

I stayed near the car while my friends tried to stake out the tent in the field. They were saying the ground was too stoney and hard as I noticed a light coming towards us up the lane, like a swinging latern. There was a house 300 yards or so away so I wondered if it was someone from there. I was trying to figure out what it was when the light disappeared from view going down and leaving a light showing then popping up again at a low level a little closer to her. I shouted to my mates to look, ‘what is it?’ We watched and saw a very bright ‘arc-light’ perfectly formed and round like an orange corona around its circumference. It was now a lot bigger than a lantern size.

It approached us steadily before bouncing up and down, disappearing as it dipped and reappearing again. This must have been some time well after midnight. I was getting pretty scared but one of my braver mates tried to attract this light thing with his torch. It was already coming towards us, growing larger in size by the second, and noiseless I may add. I remember saying something to my friends like ‘If you want to stay here, you stay. But I am getting out of here.’ 

With that we picked up our gear, threw it in the back of the car and jumped in. We wheel span out of the gated field like a bat out of hell and sped away from the area and whatever that ‘thing’ was. It was definitely coming our way and we did not want to wait around and find out more.

After a short while we pulled over to compose ourselves, found a track between farm fields and decided to stake out the tent there and brew a cuppa. Surprisingly we did manage to sleep for a couple of hours until the sun came up. It was in the daylight we decided to head back to the field entrance where we witnessed the ‘thing’. In the light of day and using the landscape, we managed to figure out the light was around the size of a house and the reason it appeared to bounce as it moved was because it was following the contours of the land, fields and trees very tightly, disappearing behind copses of trees and popping up over them again.

I know this was not a helicopter. I am an amateur aviation photographer so I am familiar with all types of aircraft and their lights. Plus, it was silent! No noise whatsoever and no flashing lights, just a huge extremely light,  pure white and orange-tinged object.  

We went back up the top of Cley Hill and could see the field where we had witnessed the ‘thing’. It allowed us to figure out how the light had been disappearing and reappearing as we could see the tree boundaries around the fields. We could also see it would have been quite some distance away at first before moving towards us.

I ask myself if I would have like to see something similar again and I will admit I am a bit of a wuss in the dark. The whole experience terrified all of us. However, I have lived back in Wiltshire for the last eight years and I do still look up in the sky and check, just in case I catch another glimpse of the Warminster Thing

Bigfoot Encounter

A Reddit user writes…

“I’m an Indian and I had relatives living in Arizona, I used to visit them every summer when I was a kid, and it always used to be fun playing and exploring there with my cousin.

They lived near the woods.

This happened in 2016 when I was 10 years old and my cousin was 16. my family and I visited my relatives to see their new cabin which was built in the woods, not too far in the woods but at the edge, it would take us

5-10 minutes to reach there, initially, we planned to stay in the cabin and explore woods but we cancelled it at the last time as it was heavily raining, as plans changed, my cousin and I decided to just go out ourselves to stay overnight there, we seek our parent’s permission and packed our stuff and headed towards in the direction of the cabin. “

What do you think about this encounter, I feel one who is shaken up and not wanting to be identified as an encounter with some credibility, his parents stated;

“I have no idea what Joe saw, but I believe that he actually saw what he says he did. Based on his knowledge of the outdoors and his surroundings, I don’t think he’s mistaken in his description.

Nor do I believe Joe was the victim of a prank. I believe Joe saw what some people call Bigfoot or North American Wood Ape.”

He had enough knowledge to know what he was looking at didn’t belong in his forest area and was clearly distressed. I wish we had more evidence such as video of location, or a chance to go out there and look for prints, but maybe a researcher from that area could try to make contact with the witness via the newspaper.

Let me know what you think,

Be safe in the woods everyone!

New Bigfoot DNA Study…

He added the new study “will perform DNA analysis on hair samples already collected, some which are strongly suspected of being from Sasquatches but were never offered to previous DNA efforts”. 

Moneymaker will introduce the leader of the new project during his speech at the upcoming Smoky Mountains Bigfoot Conference, set to be held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, US on July 22.

The Curious Case of the Yeti and the Twisted Trees…

Example of arch in the forest…

The curious case of the Yeti and the twisted trees…

In 2011John Bindernagel took a trip to the Mount Shoria region of Siberia with other fellow scientists to examine evidence of a yeti. I’m not sure this trip did him any favors on the cryptozoology front, but who wouldn’t want to go looking for a yeti there? Hunters there claimed they found prints, possible hair and something rarely claimed at that time, a nest! Now when I think of a nest they may bed down in I think packed leaves and twigs for comfort, like other wildlife make but add in a big full branch pulled down over them. Assuming they want protection from the elements. Or a cave offering that same protection.

In this case, they found a unusual print and a small sample of grey hair in a cave, but the other proof that was to make up the “indisputable proof” was the twisted tree arches. Now I find arches everywhere, if those are proof then there are so many Bigfoot in New England there is no need to head to Russia!

Bending branches and shaping trees is not a practice just for bigfoot. Native Americans once used this method for navigation, or to mark hidden caches off food or a water source such an underground water source. Are we just labeling these things as bigfoot because as humans we once used them? Looking at these pictures I would think nature made, these in particular don’t look like any kind of special pattern to me.

But if they are found near a possible nest and footprints? That may give them more credibility I suppose.

But it makes me think now about and how we approach these arches here when we find them. If we want to consider one actual documented proof here’s what we need to make sure we are doing. Are we digging there to see if it is marking something underneath, water? Food? Look for a pattern of them and follow it, is it a worn down pathway like animal traffic makes? Is it taking you to what could be a nest or cave?

Here is Bindernagel thought of the trees found in Siberia.

“We didn’t feel like the trees we saw in Siberia had been done by a man or another mammal…. Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit with the theory that bigfoot makes nests, the ones we have looked at are built around trees twisted together into an arch shape,”

Tree twisting, also called splintering, have been claimed as evidence for decades throughout the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere.

Jeff Meldrum was also there to examine the evidence and he stated he suspected the twisted tree branches had been faked. Not only was there obvious evidence of tool-made cuts in the supposedly “Yeti-twisted” branches, but the trees were conveniently located just off a well-traveled trail.

Meldrum, did not sign the group’s statement endorsing “indisputable proof” of the Yeti, and returned to the United States. Was he wrong? I don’t know, but fooling around online I found a how to video to make branch arches in your garden, a bentwood arbor, there are nature artists who create them in the forest, and of course Mother Nature, who create them with the weight of her snow. Etc.

I think this showed us that we need to step up our game, if we see these shapes out there then we need to give the area a good investigation, if Bigfoot made it? Why did he put it there….

Serenity and Lore of Cape Cod…

“Back in 1886, George Washington Ready, who was the town crier in Provincetown at the time, believed he saw a sea serpent.

Ready was walking near the shoreline in Provincetown when he observed a whirlpool-like disturbance in the water. A giant head with four rows of teeth, an eight-foot horn, and six eyes then emerged from the whirlpool. These eyes ensured the monster could look in every direction at once, and three of them were a fiery red color.

The rest of the monster’s body was about 300 feet long with a 12-foot diameter. It was accompanied by a sulphuric smell and an intense heat emanating from its body. The creature was massive, but Ready was able to hide behind some bushes on the beach to escape its gaze.

Ready claimed that the serpent made its way to nearby Pasture Pond before burrowing into the earth beneath the water. Much of the pond’s water drained through the hole the creature created, and the monster disappeared, as well.”

A little serenity and lore from Cape Cod. Just a little spot I carved out this morning for peace and coffee…
