If you have more than just a passing interest in UFOs, then you have probably heard many times, the historical spectrum of events that make up the whole of UFO mythology. It began as many believe, in days past with extraterrestrial visitation to the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, supplemented by periodic revisits through the millennia until the World War 2 era when the foo fighters arrived on the scene, followed by the 1946 Ghost Rockets and the 1947 Maury Island incident, Kenneth Arnold's sighting, and the universally known, Roswell incident.
But the story I am about to tell you focuses on just one of these events - the 1946 ghost rockets and their inextricable link to a man who chose to engage in the second oldest profession in the world, espionage. That man's name is Stig Wennerstr"om, and in 1963 he was arrested in his native Sweden, accused of being a Soviet spy. Indeed, Mr. Wennerstr"om, a well-known and liked Swedish Air Force officer, had been working as a Soviet spy since 1948, selling some of his country's most valuable secrets to the Russians. When he was finally caught, the shock waves of his betrayal reverberated throughout Sweden and all the way to the United States as Mr. Wennerstr"om had been posted during his traitorous tenure as the Swedish military attach'e in both Moscow and Washington.
I am not going to recount Mr. Wennerstr"om's spying exploits on behalf of the Soviets, but instead on some spying that he did for the Americans, starting with a mission he was sent on in 1946.
The mission is detailed in a couple of books, one originally written in Swedish before being translated into English. In the book "A Spy without a Country" by H. K. Ronblom, the author details Wennerstr"om's mission on behalf of the Americans:
In 1946, the (Swedish) Air Force received an invitation-the first of its kind-to send its own representative to a Russian air display outside Moscow at which the new Russian jet aircraft would be demonstrated. Wennerstr"om had had something to do with this business in its initial stages-it was his good friend, Lieutenant Colonel Rybachenkov of the Soviet Embassy who arranged the invitation-and it was he who was picked to attend on behalf of the (Swedish) Air Force.
Sometime in the summer of 1946, before he attended the air display in Moscow, Wennerstr"om was invited (in Stockholm) to his friend's the American air attach'e. Among the guests was someone in civilian clothes whom Wennerstr"om did not know, but this was soon put right when the man in civilian clothes introduced himself as an American intelligence service man and started telling Wennerstr"om what the Gehlen's organizational papers said about him. The Gehlen organization was made up of remnants of Nazi intelligence that in the postwar period the Americans put to work spying against the new enemy - the Soviet Union. Wennerstr"om was identified by the Gehlen organization as a "valuable contact" who during WW2 spied on occasion on behalf of Germany.
The American gave it as his opinion that anyone who had helped Germany might as well help the United States, since in both cases it was the Soviet Union the whole thing was about. The end of the conversation was that Wennerstr"om was given a mission to carry out, of what nature does not appear from the published records.In another book, "An Agent in Place", author Thomas Whiteside fills in the gaps on this mission Wennerstr"om was sent on by the mysterious American intelligence agent:
Next, the agent, by Wennerstr"om's account obviously aware of his coming trip to the Soviet Union, remarked on the opportunity he would have, as a neutral, to move about with comparative freedom, and proposed that he agree to mail a certain parcel in Leningrad on his way to Moscow. Wennerstr"om told his interrogators that he accepted the assignment and mailed the parcel - which he understood to contain radio tubes, or some sort of equipment that might be used in a clandestine radio transmitter - without difficulty. On his return to Stockholm, he said, he had no further contact with the presumed American agent, and his close relations with both the American and the Soviet embassies continued pretty much as before.Wennerstr"om's tale of delivering a package in Leningrad was considered implausible by author Whiteside who commented:
In any case, most sources, inside and outside the Pentagon, agree that, whether or not Wennerstr"om actually was approached by an American agent in Stockholm in 1946, his story of his American Intelligence mission to Leningrad is, at best, a dubious one, and may very well have been part of an attempt to throw dust in the eyes of his interrogators. Such a mission, these sources say, would have been contrary to every security practice of American Intelligence.Although Wennerstr"om was hiding the real nature of his mission to Moscow, the details came spilling out in declassified American documents. On August 19, 1946, a Top Secret message from the US military attach'e Moscow, Robert C. Macon to General Chamberlin of the War Department revealed that a Swedish Air Officer, Major S. Wennerstr"om, was in Moscow on a 3 day official visit for a Soviet airshow and had information to share on the (ghost) rockets.
Wennerstr"om revealed that 200 flying bombs had passed over Swedish territory traveling south to north, some on a zig zag course. Radar plotting indicated that most came from Peenem"unde, but some from the Soviet Baltic coastal area. Only one curved east towards Norway while all others curved west. The missiles are not V1 but similar and slightly larger, are radio controlled, with no warhead except to self-destruct. They have been seen as high as 1000 and as low as 15 meters, travelling at 400 to 600 kilometers per hour and appeared to be under good control. The max plotted course was 1000 kilometers and could have been longer but there was no Swedish plotting station in the far north. No reports of missiles over Finland and have probably fallen in the Bothnia Gulf.
Extensive work in Murmansk for some launching project and Soviet wide-spread aerial mapping of the Kola Peninsula for possible mining of Uranium. The Soviets restored and are operating German underground experimental facility in the Hartz Mountains near Nordhausen.On its face, this memorandum portrays Wennerstr"om collegially just passing on information he gleaned from official Swedish sources to the US military attach'e, but as it turned out, that was not the case. In another Secret memorandum dated August 23, 1946 from the U.S. naval attach'e at Stockholm, William D. Wright, subject: "Sweden Guided Missiles", the following very interesting observations are made about Wennerstr"om's trip to Moscow:
Swedish intelligence officers have passed information to U.S. intelligence officers both in Stockholm and in Moscow (Wennerstr"om) which indicate an attempt to 'plant' the impression that large numbers of Russian-launched rockets have passed over Sweden, giving detail to infer that they are extremely efficient guided missile. The Swedish intelligence officer who 'planted' this information in Moscow (Wennerstr"om) also intimated that Russian uranium mining activities and launching sites were being developed, giving the implication of atomic warfare with radio-controlled guided missiles. A Swedish intelligence officer also 'planted' a similar report of Russian rockets with the S.S.U (CIG, then CIA) in Stockholm.What is most interesting about this memorandum is the repeated use of the word 'planted' by the very astute and experienced-in-intelligence-matters attach'e who could see right through what Wennerstr"om and his Swedish colleagues were up to - what other Secret memorandum would reveal was the wholesale spreading of unsubstantiated rumors about the Ghost Rockets. What attach'e Wright could not know at that time was that the true hand that was being played here was not Swedish but American.
But why would some elements of American intelligence entice Swedish intelligence to deceive other American intelligence personnel? Welcome to 1946, the Wild West era of US intelligence history, where the American intelligence community was in a state of flux while fears of Soviet infiltration of all aspects of American life was rampant. If there was ever a time when the maxim "Trust no one" was most relevant, 1946 was that year.
By planting rumors of Russian missiles over Scandinavia that appeared to originate from Swedish intelligence but was ultimately directed by elements of American and quite probably British intelligence, the Soviet Union was blamed for flagrant violations of the sovereign airspace of its neighbors, creating a media storm and backlash of world opinion that has since been immortalized as unexplained UFO events.
So as not to muddy the story any further of what is a complex intelligence operation, I have left out many details that confirm the dangerous deception game that was being played out by Wennerstr"om and others in 1946 Sweden, details that will be included in the rewrite of my book "The Rosetta Deception", freely available online at http://rosettadeception.blogspot.com.
After sifting through all of the evidence related to the 1946 Ghost Rockets, especially the official declassified documents that have come out of US and British Government archives, only one conclusion can be drawn from the data - 1946 had zero to do with alien visitation and 100 percent to do with cold war intrigue and deception of the human kind, but it took a spy coming in from the cold for the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle to fall into place.

Officials of the Kemerovo assignment in western Siberia suppress assumed that organising an lead or a technological centre would be a clear subsistence of research in the sphere of the yeti.
Dr. Igor Burtsev, improved of the Large-scale Spirit of Hominology, momentum tie up the elect new research unit if the policy go at once. He said: "In Russia near are about 30 impressive scientists who are hectic in studying the phenomenon of the abonimable snowman."
"All of them momentum be incorporated in the sphere of this lead. The primary purpose is to attach contact afterward one of the creatures."
Dr. Burtsev told Russian article Itar Request after a yeti pursue last year: "I saw markers (HALF-BROKEN BRANCHES) the charm uses to authorize the constrained set down. In the woods I suppress found numerous artifacts to corroborate my theory. I plan to rule the Bigfoot's place of safety and calm try to contact the charm."

AREA 51 VETS BREAK SILENCE: SORRY, BUT NO SPACE ALIENS OR UFOSNewly revealed stories from people who used to work at Area 51 shed light on a site still shrouded in mystery. DEAN RUTZ / THE SEATTLE TIMESJames Noce holds a medallion he says was given to him by the CIA at a recent convention in Las Vegas. Reunions of Area 51 veterans used to be clandestine. James Noce recalls secret A-12 plane's early flights. TIM ZARRELLAAn old photo shows James Noce with an F-105 whose pilot he says ventured over Area 51. VANCOUVER, Wash. - After nearly five decades, guys like James Noce finally get to tell their stories about Area 51.The one that gets brought up when people talk about secret Air Force projects, crashed UFOs, alien bodies and, of course, conspiracies.The secrets, some of them, have been declassified.Noce, 72, and his fellow Area 51 veterans around the country now are free to talk about doing contract work for the CIA in the 1960s and '70s at the arid, isolated Southern Nevada government testing site.Their stories shed some light on a site shrouded in mystery; classified projects still are going on there. It's not a big leap from warding off the curious 40 or 50 years ago, to warding off the curious who now make the drive to Area 51.The veterans' stories provide a glimpse of real-life government covert operations, with their everyday routines and moments of excitement.Noce didn't seek out publicity. But when contacted, he was glad to tell what it was like."I was sworn to secrecy for 47 years. I couldn't talk about it," he says.In the 1960s, Area 51 was the test site for the A-12 and its successor, the SR-71 Blackbird, a secret spy plane that broke records at documented speeds that still have been unmatched. The CIA says it reached Mach 3.29 (about 2,200 mph) at 90,000 feet.But after September 2007, when the CIA displayed an A-12 in front of its Langley, Va., headquarters as part of the agency's 60th birthday, much of the secrecy of those days at Area 51 fell away.Advance warning to UFOlogists: Sorry, although Noce and other Area 51 vets say they saw plenty of secret stuff, none make claims about aliens.SECRETS INCLUDED PAYROLLBut on to the secrecy part.Noce remembers always getting paid in cash, signing a phony name to the receipt, during his several years of working security at the site. It was, in CIA parlance, "a black project."Noce says he has no paperwork showing that he worked at Area 51 for the CIA. He says that was common. Others who got checks say they came from various companies, including Pan American World Airways.But Noce is vouched for by T.D. Barnes, of Henderson, Nev., founder and president of Roadrunners Internationale, membership 325. Barnes is the one who says he got checks from Pan Am, for whom he had never worked.Roadrunners is a group of Area 51 vets including individuals affiliated with the Air Force, CIA, Lockheed, Honeywell and other contractors.For the past 20 years, they'd meet every couple of years at reunions they kept clandestine. Their first public session was last October at a reunion in Las Vegas at the Atomic Testing Museum.As age creeps up on them, Barnes, 72, an Area 51 radar specialist, wants the work the vets did to be remembered.And Barnes himself has someone quite credible to vouch for him: David Robarge, chief historian for the CIA and author of "Archangel: CIA's Supersonic A-12 Reconnaissance Aircraft."Robarge says about Barnes, "He's very knowledgeable. He never embellishes."Barnes says that the way membership in the Roadrunners grew was by one guy who worked for the CIA telling about another buddy who worked at Area 51, and so on. Barnes says other Area 51 vets vouched for Noce.Noce was a 1955 Vancouver High grad who went right into the Air Force and was trained in radar.Leaving the service in 1959, he worked as a produce manager for the Safeway in Camas, 17 miles east of Vancouver.Sometime in late 1961, Noce got a phone call at the grocery store. It was from a buddy of his from the Air Force days, who now worked for the CIA."He knew I had classified clearance from working at the radar sites," remembers Noce. "He asked me how would I like to live in Las Vegas."Noce agreed to drive to Las Vegas and call "a guy" who worked for "the agency."COMINGS AND GOINGSAnd so Noce began doing security.Most of the time, it was routine stuff.On Monday mornings, a Lockheed Superconstellation would fly in from the "Skunk Works" in Burbank, Calif., bringing engineers and others who were working on the A-12. They'd stay there during the week and return home on weekends.Skunk Works was the nickname for Lockheed's Advanced Development Projects, which had the A-12 contract.The routine stuff included checking badges and making sure nobody had weapons or cameras. Security workers also made sure only those with proper clearance would witness a test flight.And what a sight it was.According to the CIA, its late former chief Richard Helms recalled visiting Area 51 and watching a midnight test flight of an A-12."The blast of flame that sent the black, insect-shaped projectile hurtling across the tarmac made me duck instinctively. It was as if the devil himself were blasting his way straight from hell," said Helms, according to former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden.Other times, the routine got very exciting.Noce remembers when "Article 123," as one of the A-12s was called, crashed on May 24, 1963, after the plane stalled near Wendover, Utah. The pilot ejected and survived.Noce says he was among those who flew to the crash site in a giant cargo plane loaded with several trucks. They loaded everything from the crash into the trucks.He remembers that a local deputy had either witnessed the crash or had quickly arrived at the scene. There also was a family on a vacation car trip who had taken photos."We confiscated the camera, took the film out," says Noce. "We just said we worked for the government."He says the deputy and the family were told not to talk to anybody about the crash, especially the press."We told them there would be dire consequences," Noce says. "You scared them."As an added incentive, he says, the CIA arrived with a briefcase full of cash."I think it was like 25 grand apiece, for the sheriff and the family," says Noce.Robarge says of cash payments to cover things up, "It was common practice."Noce also remembers providing security in 1962 as a disassembled A-12 was trucked along back roads from Burbank to Area 51.At one point, a Greyhound bus traveling in the opposite direction grazed one of the trailers. Wrote Robarge, "Project managers quickly authorized the payment of nearly 5,000 for damage to the bus so no insurance or legal inquiry would take place... "STORIES ABOUT ALIENSAbout the aliens.Noce and Barnes say they never saw anything connected to UFOs.Barnes believes the Air Force and the "Agency" didn't mind the stories about alien spacecraft. They helped cover up the secret planes that were being tested.On one occasion, he remembers, when the first jets were being tested at what Muroc Army Air Field, later renamed Edwards Air Force Base, a test pilot put on a gorilla mask and flew upside down beside a private pilot."Well, when this guy went back, telling reporters, 'I saw a plane that didn't have a propeller and being flown by a monkey,' well, they laughed at this guy - and it got where the guys would see [test pilots] and they didn't dare report it because everybody'd laugh at them," says Barnes.Noce says he quite liked working at Area 51.He got paid 1,000 a month (about 7,200 in today's dollars). Weekdays he lived for free at the base in admittedly utilitarian housing - five men assigned to a one-story house, sharing a kitchen and bathroom.Something that all Area 51 vets remember about living at the base, he says, was the great food."They had these cooks come up from Vegas. They were like regular chefs," Noce remembers. "Day or night, you could get a steak, whatever you wanted."Lobster was flown in regularly from Maine. A jet, sent across the country to test its engines, would bring back the succulent payload.On weekends, Noce and other contracted CIA guys would drive to Las Vegas.They rented a pad, and in the patio plumbed in a bar with storage for two kegs of beer. It was a great time, barbecuing steaks and having parties, Noce says.Noce has two pieces of proof from his Area 51 days: faded black-and-white snapshots taken surreptitiously.One shows him in 1962 in front of his housing unit at Area 51. The other shows him in front of what he says is one of two F-105 Thunderchiefs whose Air Force pilots overflew Area 51 out of curiosity. The pilots were forced to land and were told that a no-fly zone meant just that.Noce worked at Area 51 from early 1962 to late 1965. He returned to Vancouver and spent most of his working life as a longshoreman.Noce remembers once in recent years talking with fellow retired longshoreman pals and telling them stories about Area 51. When they didn't believe him, he says, "Well, there was nothing I could do to prove anything."COLLECTING MEMORIESMary Pelevsky, a University of Nevada visiting scholar, headed the school's Nevada Test Site Oral History Project from 2003 to 2008. Some 150 people were interviewed about their experiences during Cold War nuclear testing. Area 51 vets such as Barnes also were interviewed.The historian says it was difficult to verify stories because of secrecy at the time, cover stories, memory lapses and - sometimes - misrepresentations.But, she says, "I've heard this cloak-and-dagger stuff, and you say, 'No way.' Then you hear enough and begin to realize some of these stories are true."In October, Noce and his son, Chris, of Colorado, drove to Las Vegas for that first public reunion of the Area 51 vets. He and his old buddies remembered the days."I was doing something for the country," Noce says about those three years in the 1960s. "They told me, 'If anything should ever come up, anyone asks, 'Did you work for the CIA?' Say, 'Never heard of them.' But [my buddies] know."

Another day, another "creature" on Mars. Eagle-eyed UFO enthusiasts recently announced they've spotted yet another "animal" on the red planet. On Nov. 6, the UFO Sightings Daily blog declared that NASA's Curiosity rover had taken what appears to be a photograph of a Martian iguana: The Martian "iguana." The top image has been digitally enhanced to highlight the features of the "creature," according to UFO Sightings Daily blog. "To say it's just a rock would be very closed minded to the evidence at hand," Scott C. Waring, the blog's founder, noted of the curious image taken in January. "[N]ot only does it have a body, but look closely and you will see its lower neck skin, its mouth line, nostril hole and even an open eye with a large brow over it." This image of Mars' surface was captured by the Curiosity rover on Jan. 10. It's not the first time an "animal" was spotted on Mars. Earlier this year, the blog featured a Curiosity rover image of a rodent-like "creature. [A]ctually there have been about 10-15 [sightings] to date," UFO Sightings Daily coordinator Scott C. Warring told Canadian news site agoracosmopolitan.com. "I even found a rock that moved four []

I RECEIVED THIS INQUIRY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Hello Sir - I am writing you about an incident my daughter and I had this past weekend near Crane Lake, Minnesota. We were on our way home and traveling south on Crane Lake Road only a few miles from the lodge we had stayed the weekend. As we drove around a wide bend in the road we noticed two tall dark creatures walk out of the forest to my left. I slammed the brakes and stopped about 30 feet from them. They seemed oblivious to us as they walked onto the road and barely gave us a glance. They crossed in front of the car and leaped over a ditch then into the forest. I quickly hit the gas pedal and drove for about a quarter mile. I then pulled over to collect myself. My daughter, who is 15, was sitting with a shocked look and not moving. My heart was racing and I was shaking uncontrollably.
I think we sat there without saying a word to each other for over a minute. I then asked my daughter what she thought those creatures were. Immediately she said that we had seen 'Bigfoot'.
Both creatures were about 7 foot tall and massively built. I was surprised by the amount of dark reddish hair they both had and how proportionate their bodies were to humans. I saw the face of one of the creatures briefly as it glanced at us. The nose was very broad but the rest of the face was similar to those you see on TV that are supposed to be cavemen. They walked upright like humans and didn't slouch. I believe they were both male.
I have lived in Minnesota (in St. Cloud) all my life and I never heard of anyone seeing a 'Bigfoot'. My daughter is convinced that these creatures were 'Bigfoot'. We looked online and found your website and an image that best represents what we witnessed.
Have there been sightings in the Crane Lake area previously? I called the lodge where we stayed and the woman who answered said that there had been a few sightings in the area over the years but nothing that close to their location. I'd be interested to know what it was we saw. I can't believe that there are not more reports of these creatures. Thanks for reading. MM
The image forwarded by MM that she says best represents the hominids they witnessed.
Canada's Legendary Animals Series
NOTE: I posted the email as I received it. I contacted the witness by an alternate email she provided...she replied that I could post her report minus any personal information. She added that her daughter has had nightmares since the encounter and that they have not mentioned the incident to anyone else other than the woman at the lodge. I told the witness that these encounters are something that you never forget (from personal knowledge). I sincerely hope her daughter's nightmares subside...though I have known of some witnesses who suffer PTSD long after these close encounters. I didn't get a time but they had just checked out so I assume it was during daylight on Monday (4/2) morning.
I also contacted the lodge where MM and her daughter stayed this past weekend. I talked to a very nice lady who asked me to talk to someone who knew the area better than her. Another woman got on the telephone and asked me to call her back at another number. Well, we played 'phone tag' for most of the afternoon (seems like it's busy at the lodge) but finally she was able to talk.
I inquired about Bigfoot sightings in the area. She said that there had been several reports north of their location in Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park and that there had been an expedition (I supposed it was BFRO) near Voyageurs National Park in the summer of 2011. She said several of the people in the expedition party had stayed at their lodge. I gave her my contact number / email and asked that she contact me if other information became available.
The image that MM forwarded to me is posted above...Lon

(c) 2006 - 2013 At first, it was widely suspected that a high-altitude, carrier-based Japanese observation plane had strayed over the L.A. area. Or perhaps one of our own military planes was the culprit-although no 1942-vintage airplane was capable of standing still in the air. The one thing we did learn after the war was that neither the Japanese nor our own military have an "official" record of any of their aircraft flying over the L.A. basin that fabled evening. Even the presence of our pursuit planes, which was absolutely certain, has been denied. Of course, all concerned could be lying-though the probability of such a lie persisting for over sixty years is remote. That is, assuming what we saw was a terrestrial craft.
In recent decades several Ufologists have suggested that it might have been one of the largest mass UFO sightings in history, as it involved well over a million people. Only the sightings over Mexico City in the mid 1990s exceed it in terms of the total number of percipients.
To be sure, no one suggested this theory at the time, as it wasn't until five years later, in 1947, after civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold's landmark sighting of nine "flying saucers" over Mt. Rainer in June of that year, that the notion that UFOs from other planets might be invading our skies became widespread-although if the theory that a crash retrieval occurred at Cape Giradeau, MO, in 1941 is correct, it's quite possible that the government had at least a modicum of knowledge about the phenomenon by 1942.
Several years ago, I joined forces with Ufologist Frank Warren, who's been fascinated by this event for many years-although he's of course much too young to have observed it personally. With the help of well-known Navy photo-analyst and UFO investigator, Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Frank and I have pretty well determined the craft's path before it appeared in the sky over Hermosa Beach. It was initially observed by several residents of the Pacific Palisades rising over the Santa Monica Mountains around 2:45 a.m. From there, it seems to have moved southeast across Santa Monica and West L.A. in the direction of the Baldwin Hills, which separate Culver City from Inglewood and the flatlands to the south....

"ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME: A NOVEL OF ABDUCTION" BY PHILIP MANTLE 14.95 US (paperback)7.99 US (ebook) For U.S. purchase:Createspace (buying here gives a few extra dollars to the author)"ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME" is a powerful and emotional journey involving married couple Alan and Pamela Morrison and their teenage daughter, Wendy. Alan is a teacher at the local high school, and his wife Pamela is a social worker for the local authority. One night, whilst driving back from their in-laws home near the rural North Yorkshire village of East Yardsley, the Morrison family encounter something that would change their lives and world view forever. The Morrisons have a close encounter with something quite extraordinary. On arriving home, they discover nearly four hours of their lives are missing. Plagued by nightmarish shared dreams, the Morrisons look for answers for their missing time. Their search for answers threatens to tear the family apart, leaving them with lives that will never be the same again. Set in rural England in 1990, this was an era before the internet and the digital age. The Morrison family search for answers that eventually ends in frustration and betrayal. This is not a story about alien visitation, but rather how a family try desperately to cope with a phenomenon that no one seems to understand. Although a work of fiction, Once Upon A Missing Time is based on real life close encounter cases from the U.K. All of the characters in this drama are based on people who have either experienced this phenomena first-hand, or have been UFO investigators. The names, locations, and professions of all have been changed to protect the individuals concerned. Once you have read Once Upon A Missing Time, you will realise that the phrase "close encounter" was not just a figment of Steven Spielberg's imagination. * * * Reviews: In this fascinating new book, Philip Mantle swaps roles as a knowledgeable investigator of the UFO phenomenon to assume the garb of Sci-Fi author and makes the transition seamlessly. In doing so he brings first hand knowledge to a subject still deeply mired in mystery and speculation. What makes the book doubly interesting is that all the characters, although fictitious, are drawn from actual cases involving alleged alien abduction and the attention to detail shows. In fact one of the investigators could easily be the author. Read more >> From "ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME" Just as the car was moving away from the junction, Wendy's shout drew their attention. "Look mum, a shooting star!" They both followed her outstretched finger to point just above the hills to the north, where a small, bright white light followed a fast, steep trajectory towards the shadowy horizon. Just as it seemed that it would be lost forever behind the stark hills, it levelled out and followed the terrain for a short while before finally disappearing below the skyline at a shallower angle. They watched for a short while, puzzled, before Alan moved away from the junction and applied the power again. Pamela looked across at him once more when the speedometer reached sixty. "Watch it, Alan." He nodded and backed the power off a little in order to round a bend. He was preparing to accelerate again when his eyes widened and his reflexes took over for just long enough to ensure their safety, snatching his foot from the accelerator and jamming it on the brake pedal. The car's nose dipped as the updated brakes did their work and their speed dropped rapidly until they were at a standstill. Alan took the car out of gear and applied the handbrake as he stared at the impenetrable bank of glowing green mist before them. The lights on the panel of the radio flickered into darkness and the sound from its speakers suddenly ceased. With a baffled look at Pamela he knocked the gear shift back into 'D' and moved off cautiously. He had heard of small banks of mist in country lanes which collected in the fields and then obscured an area of road for a short while before either moving on or diffusing, but had never seen or heard of green mist. He thought of mysterious agricultural chemicals and rolled his window up quickly as he drove on slowly. He was about to remark on the fog's strangeness when a childlike scream of pure terror made them both look round. Wendy was sitting in the centre of the rear seat, as far away from either window as possible and pointing, dumbfounded, towards her left. Pamela looked round for a moment before turning back to Wendy. "What is it, darling? What's wrong?" Wendy continued to point at the window against which the mist pressed. "Th Th There was a face there. Like a cat with funny eyes." Pamela looked back to Alan for a moment with a concerned look on her face. She mouthed 'KEEP GOING' at him before turning back to Wendy. "It was probably just a sheep. Maybe there's a fence down somewhere along the road." "It didn't look like a sheep; it had no nose and funny eyes." "It's just the fog love. It makes things look strange." Pamela's last word seemed to echo through the air between them for a long time before there was a heavy bump which caused the car to veer across the road. Immediately, the headlights were cutting through the mist and then they were out of it and back on the familiar stretch of road again. Alan began to accelerate and took a quick look at Wendy. He was surprised to see that she was asleep again. Pamela was lying back in her seat and gazing at the sky through the sunroof. She turned back to Alan as she felt the car accelerate. "What the hell do you think that was?" "I don't know - some kind of fog?" "What sort of fog is green?" * * * ENDORSEMENTS FOR ONCE UPON A MISSING TIME "Philip Mantle has put the trauma of the alien abduction into perspective for all of us in his story that sucks us in on the first page. It is a tale, not of aliens, but of the results of those who have been abducted and what they experience as a result of something that is beyond their control. Mantle has provided a story that draws to in and keeps you entertained from the first page to the last. It is a story that causes you to keep turning the pages."- Kevin Randle, UFO author, lecturer and broadcaster, USA. "A not to be missed fiction, from one of the leading authorities on UFOs. Has to be worth reading!"- Philip Gardiner, Author/filmmaker, UK. "They say time is a great healer-and it is, until it goes missing. Philip Mantle's novel, Once Upon a Missing Time, takes us on a dark tour through the oft-misunderstood abduction phenomenon - and the angst it can cause in the lives of its victims. Mantle is extremely knowledgeable about the abduction phenomenon, and it shows. In this novel, his real-life expertise translates dramatically into the lives of the characters. Scrupulously well thought-out, it provides a gripping insight into one of the greatest enigmas of our era. Although a work of fiction, it carries a disturbing aura of reality on every page. A thought-provoking read that should not be missed."- Mike Hallowell, Freelance journalist line-height: 19px;">- Lee Paqui - Editor, UFO Encounter, and Lee Paqui - UFO Research, Queensland, Australia. "Philip Mantle is probably one of the major unsung heroes of the British UFO scene, having been eclipsed by the likes of Timothy Good and Nick Pope. In this, his first fiction book, he tackles the thorny subject of the 'abduction' and 'Close Encounter' scenario. Although the book is a work of fiction, it draws from many well documented cases from the never-ending enigma that is the UFO subject. This book will provide a thought provoking read, if you are skeptic or believer in the phenomenon."- Kevin Goodman, author of "UFO Warminster: Cradle of Contact," UK. "The work of Philip Mantle is never a surprise, because we know how good it is. In this book, although a work of fiction, I know that Philip has used all of his experience to bring the close encounter experience to life."- Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, UFO researcher and author, Brazil. "In a classic example of poacher turned gamekeeper, Philip Mantle has dug deep into his long established background as a world renowned investigator of the UFO phenomenon to produce a first class novel based on his years of experience in the field and a damn fine job he makes of it too. This book bears all the hallmarks of a homage to a well loved and understood subject and it is told in a surprisingly matter of fact manner that belies the central premise of alien abduction and how it can badly affect those involved."-Brian Allan: Author, speaker and researcher specialising in paranormal phenomena, UK. * * * Philip Mantle is an international UFO researcher, lecturer and broadcaster. His books have been published in six different languages around the world. He is the former Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association and former MUFON representative for England. Philip has written articles and features for numerous publications around the world and has been both editor and assistant editor of high street UFO publications.
