MID ESSEX IS UFO HOT SPOT
March 22, 1996
Essex Chronicle newspaper
Mid Essex is recording a surge of mystery aircraft sightings to the
Essex UFO Group. Chairman Ron West listed Chelmsford, Braintree and
Witham areas as particularly frequent for reports. Mr West said "since
November 15th we have had reports by 183 people of objects. We have
had a steady build up of objects across Essex. I have been doing this
since 1950 and recording figures for 15 years. This is the busiest
year ever". Mr West said most people described a circle of eight white
lights with a ninth in the middle. Others reported a craft with three
massive yellow lights, or two red lights. Most people said it hovered
without any noise, and was spinning anti clockwise. The latest reports
to be recorded occurred in Braintree on March 2nd and March 9th. "They
usually just disappear instantly, or shoot straight up into the
hemisphere" said Mr West. His group investigates claims, analysing any
video tapes, contacting the police, civil airfields and military
bases: "We usually get a standard reply that they have nothing on
radar," he said.
