ELSIE'S UFO CONFIRMED

"I saw spacecraft too"

An alien spacecraft really DID fly over the Daventry area 18 yeards ago!

Georgina Laurie of Flore has broken nearly two decades of silence to confirm that she saw the UFO which Elsie Oakensen of Church Stowe has always insisted abducted her.

And now the Daventry Express is challenging anyone else who saw something strange that night on November 22 1978 to come forward and tell the truth.

During Elsie's famous incident she drove under a silent 100ft long object hovering above the A5 near where she lives. She arrived home 15 minutes later than normal and beleives she was abducted.

Elsie always knew that Georgina had seen the craft - but respected her wish not to be identified. Georgina said "My husband had his own business at the time and was worried that people would think I was a crank and wouldn't use his firm. But I don't care what people think now."

She was travelling on a back road between Preston Capes and Woodford Halse at 7.15 pm - two hours after Elsie saw the craft.

"As I started to come out of a T - junction there was a white light shining down in the trees," Georgina recalled "the car started to play up and I changed it into second gear. The thing moved across the road. There was a red light and a green light, which were both static. Then it just went."

She said her three passengers at the time later forgot the incident and she has since lost contact with them.

"It was silent and made me feel funny. It must have been big because of how far apart the lights were." said Georgina.

Both Women will be appearing on the T.V. programme "Strange But True" in the autumn to tell their stories.

Elsie has written a book about the abduction "One Step Beyond" which is on sale at Daventry Bookshop. She said: "Talking to Georgina was just like listening to myself, so many things were similar. I never thought I would find anyone else whjo would say they saw it. I knew other people had seen something, but they didn't want to talk about it."

Did you see anything that night? Ring Paul Green in confidence on 01327 703383

--- The article is followed by the Editorial comment , the highlight of which follows;

"In the Daventry Weekly Express of November 24 1978, founding Editor Walter Green wrote a story about a mysterious giant triangular shape which was seen over Long Buckby.

That happened about three days before Elsie and Georgina's sighting......could all the sightings be the same craft?

Perhaps we will never know, but if anyone saw any thing slightly strange that night, pick up the 'phone and give us a call - because the truth is out there!"
