THE UFO MOTHERSHIP IN GORSE FIELD

(As heard on the #WeirdDarkness episode: “BEFORE THEY LOCKED THEIR DOORS: The True Story of the Shell Lake Murders”)

For years, governments around the world kept a huge secret from their people. The United States Air Force, NASA, Britain’s Ministry of Defense, and plenty of other institutions all had their suspicions that strange things were happening in the skies above, but they just preferred if nobody knew about it.

Things began to change in 2023. In Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives held a special meeting about UFOs, which are now referred to as UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). Former aviators and military personnel described their experiences with strange flying vessels shaped like tic-tac candies. These craft were capable of what seemed like impossible feats — sharp turns at high speeds, flying faster than any airplane on Earth.

A former Air Force intelligence officer made some astonishing claims during the meeting. He said the government had crashed UFOs stashed at secret bases. Even more remarkably, he said they had discovered “non-human biologics” — meaning the bodies of aliens from the crashed ships. (Clarifying, “These were humanoid, but also insectoid.”)

To this day, no one knows exactly where these unusual craft come from. Some of these may be from other planets, or perhaps even from other dimensions. Some believe that the government is indeed gradually preparing humanity for the truth about these visitors so that it will be less of a shock when we actually get to meet them.

Here is a particularly interesting story from Maria, a 75-year-old woman from Heswall in England. Maria and her husband Phil were exploring Thurstaston Hill, an area of red sandstone rock and wonderful views, in August 1997. While they were there, they and two other couples witnessed something spectacular – a gigantic, disc-shaped, silver craft came flying down from the north. Phil, a former employee at an aircraft firm called Lockheed Martin, estimated the craft to be roughly 1,300 feet in length. The mirror surface of the UFO reflected the sunlight as it stopped and hovered in Caldy beach. Then it flew away toward Wales and vanished into a haze.

But an even more amazing story unfolded in September 1992. A doctor named Richard and his girlfriend Helen (who would go on to become his wife) were driving to an antiques fair at the Parkgate Hotel. Helen was driving because Richard had gone to a party the night before. They did sort of get lost, and while they were roaming around, trying to find their way, they witnessed something unbelievable — a huge round craft descending from the heavens.

Richard originally thought it was simply a kite, but as it closed the distance they discovered it was something significantly larger. Other cars on the road paused to gawk as the massive craft touched down in a field of orange bushes known as gorse. Helen was frightened and wanted to go: “Oh my God, we’re being invaded!” But Richard was curious. He estimated the craft’s wingspan to be about 2,000 feet — larger than six football fields side by side. It was resting on a cone-like structure beneath it.

Richard stepped out of the car and climbed over a gate to get a closer look. When he and Helen walked to the left to view it from another angle, something very strange happened. The massive vessel began to blend with the blue color of the sky, making it almost disappear from some angles.

Then they heard something alarming — what sounded like people yelling, “Help!” from the front of the UFO. There was suddenly a flash of light from the craft. The cone-shaped piece then went back into the ship and it began to take off from the ground. Richard and Helen ran to their car and drove away fast, forgetting the antiques fair altogether.

Richard kept looking back as they drove away. Peering out of the back window, he watched it tilt off to the side and soar toward North Wales until all sight of it was lost. Later, at a pub in Prenton, they learned that others had also seen the giant saucer-shaped UFO over Parkgate that day.

Richard, as a doctor, chose not to say anything about what he saw. He was afraid that people would assume he was lying. But years later, when a guest on BBC Radio Merseyside talked about UFOs at the station, many listeners called in with similar tales about the craft.

To this day, no one knows who was calling for help from inside the UFO. Were they human souls who had been abducted by the craft? As with many UFO tales, it raises more questions than it answers about our sky’s mysterious visitors.
