NEWLYWEDS, WILLIAM AND KATE
A FEW WEEK AGO, AN AOLNEWS Recline about Decided George Filer's foresight that UFOs were meant to be seen at the glory wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton received larger renown transnational. As far as I reveal, no UFO sightings or footage has emerged so far as the British nation and a worldwide lecture hall enjoyed the grandeur of the glory wedding in advance today. The AolNews story, which steep be keen on wildfire in a straight line the British press and absent, overly quoted famous crop circle theoretical Colin Andrews about the Queen's alarm in his first book "Handbill Sketch", Dan Willis, an best quality on glory genealogy, and New York ufologist Mike Luckman, who was the first to feed the information on the Royals ostensible alarm in UFOs to AOL rhymester David Moye.
I've professional retired USAF Decided and MUFON Eastern Area Director George Filer for different years-he was one of the speakers at our recent Cosmopolitan UFO Union AND HIS Periodical ELECTRONIC FILER'S Documentation is a enormous resource for worldwide UFO sightings. Yet, his foresight of attainable sightings at the glory wedding was not based on any dense data. A bigger interesting forewarning in the AOL article which had not been published before was that Filer himself taking into account met Prince Philip, the Queen's spouse and Duke of Edinburgh who by all accounts is the one supporter in the glory bungalow most concerned in UFOs.
According to Decided Filer, "it was approaching 1961 or '62, for example I was a navigator in a tanker. He [Prince Philip] met plus a group of us after dinner like he desired to talk about UFOs. He told us that the RAF had inoperative liberation fighters after UFOs like positive of them didn't develop sustain. They profound to restore tankers, which were with brute force as rigorously as the fighters but might relate to 15 hours of strengthen, compared to two for the fighters." That is specifically a statement-that positive RAF fighters didn't develop sustain or crashed after a UFO chase-if Filer is quoting the Prince totally. To the same extent grant are special well professional cases of UFO-aircraft scrambles in the declassified British military documents, I am not sensitive of any that backs the retort that planes didn't return to their bases or crashed when a UFO incident in the UK. Counterpart incidents did surpass in the USA and in the old USSR but did not stand for British pilots.
Lady MOUNTBATTEN, Noble UFOLOGIST

Filer went on to say in the AOL interview that, "I asked him [Prince Philip] why he was so concerned in UFOs and he explained that his uncle, the Earl Mountbatten, had seen them up stop." Sophisticated on in the article, Luckman was quoted look overly that "Lady Mountbatten not in the past few minutes had a sighting, but one of his foremost run reportedly claimed they saw a craft on [Mountbatten's] wine grower." Prince Philip's uncle, Lady Louis Mountbatten (1900-1979), 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, was a famous British Admiral of the Flotilla who served as Talented Together Take charge in South East Asia during Life War II, and was overly the last Viceroy of India up to the independence and split of India and Pakistan in 1948. His partner, Aristocrat Edwina Ashley, was overly a well professional socialite. The Earl was murdered by the IRA in a infamous terrorist act in 1979.
Lady Mountbatten's alarm in UFOs is well established and times of yore friction, time none of the sources we've consulted bring to somebody's attention a inmost UFO sighting, as claimed by Filer and Luckman. The contents is discussed in positive detail in "Mountbatten", an superior biography by Philip Ziegler (Alfred A. Knopf, 1985), which shows that in the in advance 1950s the Earl was persuaded fascinated plus the contents of flying saucers and had positive odd theories about them. Because triggered this alarm is unclear-perhaps it was forced by foo fighter accounts that he saw or heard as Talented Together Take charge in Asia, but that is lone an familiar estimate. In any case, Ziegler writes that "his alarm in the contents was so stalwart that he tried to entice the editor of the "Sunday Dispatch" to put a accomplice on to sifting the reported cases and pursuing the bigger healthy-looking."
Lady Mountbatten's theory about the root of UFOs was, in his own chitchat, "a unlikely explanation," yet he had one way or another concerning at it by 1950, as comatose in the papers of Aristocrat Mountbatten. To the same extent discussing flying saucers plus his descendant Patricia and his stop junior Peter Murphy, Ziegler quotes that they were "all unquestionable that they develop from out of the ordinary planet but we collectively and by yourself came to the assume that they were not 'aeroplanes' plus absurd take notes approaching human pilots but are themselves the fitting inhabitants: Martians, Venusians, Jupiterians or what store you. Why requirement life in out of the ordinary planet plus utterly be equal with language in any way resemble life on our planet? Their associates can be 'gaseous' or bulbous or very huge. They definitely don't gasp, they may not store to eat and I have an idea that if they store babies-bits of their enormous discs may break sideways and new growth clothed in a new mortal. The fact that they can sang-froid and surprise sideways from the earth's sedateness over and invariable twirl round a V2 in America (as reported by their head scientist) shows that they are far fixed of us. If they extremely develop over in a big way that may reside the capitalist-communist war. If the human zoom desires to take they may store to band communally."
To the same extent the theory that UFOs are not wandering machines shipping alien occupants but live entities themselves has been deliberate by positive researchers (the best professional is essayist John Trevor Constable), Mountbatten seems to be maybe the first to store linked it to UFO sightings. (Genuinely, famous essayist Arthur Conan Doyle, instigator of Sherlock Holmes, wrote a squat story entitled "Anxiety in the Sky" about in advance aviation and larger live creatures in the above appearance.) The Earl was fine sensitive that his theory seemed old-fashioned and in his post plus the editor of the "Sunday Dispatch", Charles Eade, he wrote, "I reveal this sounds loopy, and I am relying on you...not to concept any funds out of the fact that I store put gap such a unlikely explanation."

You can illuminate the taken report in the activist documents snooty, but for now suffice to say that Frederick Briggs was riding his bike at Broadlands at 8:30 in the daybreak of February 23, 1955 for example, "I suddenly saw an object on the edge sluggish over the fuss... The object was bent be keen on a child's larger humming-top and deficient way in the middle of 20ft. or 30ft. in diameter. Its colour was be keen on discolored aluminium, somewhat be keen on a kitchen saucerpan. It was bent be keen on the create which I store endeavoured to concept, and had portholes all round the insinuate, somewhat be keen on a steamer has...To the same extent I was celebration a line up, about the use of a man, descended from the centre of the Saucer and I suddenly noticed on it, what appeared to be a man, seemingly thinking on a miniature stomach on the end. He did not highlight to be holding on to what. He seemed to be moral in a gloomy accomplish of overalls, and was trendy a stop as it should be hat or head covering."
So grant you store it! A exemplar CE-III plus a helmeted alien perpendicular on the wine grower of one Britain's most famous military men and supporter of the glory bungalow, an uncle of the Duke of Edinburgh. The UFO be acquainted with was not over either. Briggs after that noticed "a astonishing light develop on in one of the portholes...a bluish light, somewhat be keen on a mercury vapour light." Nonetheless the light was not correct invented at him, Briggs knock down on the blizzard plus the bike on top. "To the same extent lying on the ground I might see the tube far-flung rapidly clothed in the Saucer, which after that rose vertically, specifically as rigorously as the register Jet aircraft I store seen, or rather."
Sgt. Briggs was lightheaded for a take notes generation but in due course got sustain on his bike towards the pied-?-terre, anywhere he saw the electrician Heath, told him the story and all went communally perpendicular sideways to the spot anywhere the group occurred. The track is picked up now by Lady Mountbatten himself, who in his own signed mention writes: "My own electrician, Heath, reported his speech and I therefore interviewed Mr. Briggs, plus my partner and younger descendant, and as a evict of his type, Heath and I accompanied him to the run off from which he saw the On high Saucer." You can illuminate the rest of the Mountbatten sort and Brigg's statement Indoors. THE BROADLANDS' Record Each INCLUDES BRIGG'S OWN Hint OF THE Occupation AND ITS Renter.

SIR DESMOND LESLIE
The Broadlands UFO incident was at one notch determined to highlight on the qualities expanse of the "Sunday Plan", but the story was quashed to weed out the mystery of Lady Mountbatten and his bungalow. So it was in the past few minutes in 1981, hanker after the Earl's historic decimate by the IRA in Admired 1979, that the UFO story last but not least appeared in print in England's "On high Saucer Assessment" (Vol. 26, No. 5, Jan. 1981) in an article on paper by Desmond Leslie patrician, "DID On high Breakables Populace AT BROADLANDS? Alleged encounters on the Sector of Earl Mountbatten of Burma." Desmond Leslie himself was a bright, odd upper-class essayist and maestro, whose close relative was first cousin to Winston Churchill. In ufology Leslie is best professional for television journalism most of "On high Breakables Repress Landed", the famous book of Adamski about his contact plus a Venusian in Inhospitable surroundings Improper, California, in 1952-most of the book deals plus other cloth, very much of it ancient history, on paper by Leslie.
Leslie interviewed Briggs living considering and grant is no hire to carry out the details facing inherent in the statements on paper perpendicular after the incident. The interview poverty store been different living considering like the date was no longer clear, he puts it in the mid or late 50s. But grant are positive interesting details, for era, this expos of Lady Mountbatten's interview plus Sgt. Briggs:
"Now we develop to the bit that lone might not be published until now, for it was stated that Lady Mountbatten created a come forth of UFO photographs and asked Briggs to analyze them just now and try to limit the one he'd lone seen. To help him he told him not to be penitent, nor to feeling deadened, like "we reveal about these data and are very concerned in them." Natives are the chitchat Briggs equivalent to me as expressed by Lady Mountbatten."
The beyond question guise of Leslie's article is far bigger affecting, reporting that Briggs claimed he had a later encounter on the when day, which rapidly became a typical contactee story anywhere Briggs is invited by the amiable ET to go aboard the saucer and chose a run off to vacation. He thought of the Pyramids of Egypt and after a squat flight of no bigger than ten report, "I was able to see them from snooty and from the side at the vastly time," Briggs told Leslie, together with a beyond question word from the aliens that, "If Lady Mountbatten met us "he might tuning the world"."
Offer are exertion plus this later addition to the Broadlands 1955 UFO incident. Harry Challenger, who instinctive the stately "On high Saucer Assessment" after the rapid of its long-time published and editor Gordon Creighton, told me that he had seen evidence at the FSR records that the later Briggs story was made-up, as he himself had so it is said considering admitted. We reveal that Lady Mountbatten didn't bargain in it either, as Leslie tells how he second hand his have a weakness for plus Unexceptional Sir Frederick Browning, who was at the time the Queen's Separate Secretary, to restore a scrap to the Earl via Browning. "I did get a react. And it was instantaneous," wrote Leslie. "Of the later stop encounter-he [Mountbatten] didn't bargain a word of it! That's what the Unexceptional told me, and he laughed."

Mountbatten's dramatist Ziegler says that by 1957 the Earl's alarm in the contents had waned a bit. "I poverty be upright and acknowledge that I no longer bow to the vastly alarm," he wrote a correspondent in April 1957. "He never rejected the occasion that the objects existed, motionless, finely insisted that if they did they poverty be precision of practical explanation. Few top-quality naval officers would store been determined to assault the paranormal plus such calmness," wrote Ziegler. He evidently overly voted for his shoot and alarm in the saucers to his nephew Philip and was in a way the first glory ufologist, at smallest possible for a generation during the 1950-57 while bigger or under.
