UFOs research work continues
by Joel de Woolfson
PILOT Ray Bowyer said his appearance on prime time TV had been a
marvellous experience.
The Aurigny captain, who claimed to have spotted two huge UFOs off
Alderney two months ago, explained the sightings on the Richard & Judy
Show and CNN on Monday night.
Capt. Bowyer was quizzed about the incident by the couple and discovered
that the objects he saw were similar to a UFO photographed in New
Mexico, USA, in 1957.
He told the Channel Four couple that he was now working with Dr David
Clark, a writer for the Fortean Times and lecturer at Sheffield Hallam
University who appeared in the Guernsey Press last month, to try to
discover more about the sightings.
'That photo from New Mexico was surprisingly similar and Dr Clark will
be looking into the similarities,' he said.
Capt. Bowyer added that he was very well looked after on the two shows
and claimed Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan were the same off-screen
as they were on.
'It was marvellous. I asked them if they would ever come to Guernsey to
do a show and Judy said they have never been to the Channel Islands, so
you never know.
'CNN was a different experience because it's just you talking to a TV
camera, which is far less inspiring. But virtually every home in America
has CNN so it went out to a significant amount of people.'
He also got the opportunity to meet comedian Ronnie Corbet, who was also
appearing on Richard & Judy, and said he was a very pleasant man.
Capt. Bowyer is still researching the sightings and said he had had a
very worthwhile trip to Jersey Radar.
'I'm looking forward to getting some more information from the radar.
The radar in Jersey was very informative.
'There was the possibility that there were two objects on the radar in
the same area for the same length of time.
'We need to research it more but it was very large on the radar.'
