Warminster: Patrick Moore 'saw UFO get filmed but BBC edited it out', claims alien hunter
AN ALIEN investigator claims a UFO was seen by world famous astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and caught on camera during filming for a documentary at "paranormal hotspot" Warminster - but the footage and his genuine reaction were cut out by the BBC.

Alien researcher Matt Lyons made the allegations during the 50th anniversary celebrations of the still unexplained mystery which rocked Britain from 1965 to 1980 and made the country town in south west England a mecca for global UFO chasers.

The Warminster case is one of the strangest cases of mass paranormal sightings cases registered in the UK.

Although strange phenomena were recorded in the area prior to 1965, it was in that year that the frequency of reports of mystery noises and sightings intensified.

On August 17, 1965, a "detonation noise" rocked houses on the town's Boreham Field housing estate before a "monstrous orange flame was seen in the sky, crackling and hissing".

There were also reports of strange sounds killing flocks of pigeons that year, as had also been claimed 12 months previously in 1964.

The phenomena then became known as the 'Warminster Thing' after scores of townspeople reported in late 1965 seeing an array of inexplicable sights in the sky, accompanies by noises and odd occurrences.

Mr Lyons was detailing his involvement in research of the case when he relayed a story from Arthur Shuttlewood, a local newspaper reporter who broke the story of the Warminster 'Thing".

Mr Shuttlewood was interviewed by the late Sir Patrick, a well-known sceptic, at Cradle Hill on January 31 1969 before he and the film crew spent the evening star gazing there.

Mr Shuttlewood later wrote a report of the sceptical documentary hosted by the astronomer after it was screened in May the same year.

Mr Shuttleood, who died in 1996, wrote that Sir Patrick and the whole BBC crew saw something they could not explain and three of their watches stopped after arriving.

He wrote: "Just after a satellite arced from north to south, the attention of a camera man was drawn to an orange glow that developed into an ellipsoidal craft flying low in the opposite direction to the satellite.

"It then flared into a glowing brilliance as it glided unerringly and silently towards the darkened copse saddling Cradle Hill."

Mr Shuttlewood claimed that Sir Patrick said they were not what he would call "UFOs" but added that the astronomer admitted: "They are simply fascinating and inexplicable light formations."

Mr Shuttlewod added: "There was no doubting the reality of his being wholly mystified and the producer later sent me a letter thanking me for giving them 'an unforgettable and wonderful experience'."

The episode of the BBC2 programme, which showed Sir Patrick meeting various believers of paranormal theories before debunking them, is still available online.

In the Warminster segment Sir Patrick is seen doubting that something off camera was a UFO and that it was likely "another satellite."

But Mr Shuttlewood's report claimed the final cut had not shown Moore's genuine shock at what he saw or the actual footage, thereby misleading the viewers.

He continued: "This is such a great pity in pursuit of truth and its propagation to a deluded public - the sightings of the inexplicable were cut from the programme, so that one wondered what it was Mr Moore was warmly thanking me for , towards the end of the interview.

"Who was responsible for the savage cutting of the film and recording?"

Mr Lyons, speaking at a special anniversary conference, said after revealing the report: "The media has a history of this and not taking UFOs seriously."

A BBC spokesperson said: "We have a lot of things in the BBC archive but no aliens or flying saucers."
