One Reply to “UK – Wiltshire UFO Encounters – to 1971 to 1990”

  1. I lived in Salisbury 1989 – 1993 working as a bakery shift leader working shifts on 3 different occasions I witnessed alien activity and a large craft that left me waking up in my car with no memory all my car dials broken or frozen. There was a military appeal for public to come forward same nite on tv but I was too frightened and don’t trust govt one bit.
    Since then I developed a strange cyst in my body and believe I have met aliens here.
    Ever since I’ve had sleep issues.
