UFO Sighting just a Fire Drill

by heathervescent

An explanation of UFO sightings in the 1970's in Pembrokeshire has been released this week.

James Carlson from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was stationed at Brawdy in the 1980’s. While there he claims that one of his supervisors told him that although the attire of the “aliens” in no way represented that of the US military, the descriptions of seven foot high silver men fitted exactly with the asbestos suit and oxygen breathing apparatus used by the RAF for fire drills in the 70s.

"Fire preparation drills, even those conducted at night, would require members of the fire team to search the areas around the base,” wrote Mr Carlson. “And Steve claimed that during these drills he became responsible for two of the alien sightings.”

Mr Carlson’s letter further deflates the UFO theories by stating that the reported movements of the alien craft fit exactly with the patterns of a Harrier Vertical Take-off and Landing jet, used in the UK since the late 1960s.
