Historic British UFO mystery was 'prank played on US air force by SAS'

Questioning the original story is absolutely fine, there is a wealth of books, interviews and testimonies showing that something happened that night and it’s up to people to make their own mind up.

If you do wish to challenge the ‘official’ line however then the onus should be on you to provide some convincing and compelling evidence to suggest otherwise.

A hypothesis given by an ‘x-files expert’ (whatever that means) followed by some dodgy looking quotes from unnamed SAS sources is pretty dire.

What i do find bizarre though if you go on Dr David Clarkes website he does have a named and pictured ex SAS Sniper Robin Horsfall who has said the following:

’We did undertake planned training actions against British military establishments but never against those of the US forces. Working against US units with live ammunition without strict safety protocols could have got people killed with huge political ramifications.’

‘The idea of a revenge prank by [SAS] isn’t plausible as the rules controlling pyrotechnical devices within the regiment were very strict and any such action could have resulted in those involved being returned to unit’.

It seems you haven’t done much research yourself whilst berating others for doing the same.
