BROKER ASKED TO PAY OUT ON ALIEN ABDUCTION CLAIM
Insurance man Joe Carpenter, who was featured in the Independent in July for
launching a policy against alien abductions, has himself dramatically come
forward with a £111 million claim to a rival broker.
Mr Carpenter says he has been abducted by aliens and believes he is in line
for the astronomic payout after buying a policy costing £102.50 from
insurers GRIP in August.
Mr Carpenter has handed his evidence, which apparently consists of an alien
claw and camcorder footage of a triangular spaceship hovering over
Wiltshire, to GRIP. In a case that would surely have TV paranormal
detectives Mulder and Scully foxed, Mr Carpenter refuses to concede that the
truth behind his claim may be a little more down to earth.
He said: "The evidence I've got has to be seen to be believed. If I play my
cards right I will have a celebrity handing over the cheque." And who is Mr
Carpenter's preferred choice of star? Gillian Anderson, alias X-Files
detective Scully, of course.
GRIP boss Simon Burgess is insisting that his client's evidence is very
strong and says he fears he they may have to make good the claim. But when
the Independent asked Mr Burgess for a sneak preview of the footage he
explained that it was being examined at a college in Cambridge.
Mr Burgess said: "I have seen the evidence and it is extremely compelling.
We could well end up having to pay this claim."
Mr Carpenter, also a paranormal investigator, explained that his abduction
occurred around midnight on October 10.
He was alongside fellow investigators, while checking out the sighting of an
alien craft near a military base in Swindon, Wiltshire.
He said: "I have had loads of high tech stuff with me, like spy cameras, and
we were waiting in a field. Suddenly, we saw a triangular craft overhead.
"I approached the craft and my colleagues carried on filming me."
He says he was taken aboard the craft and stretched out on a table for about
half an hour, although he believes only five minutes of Earth time passed.
"It was incredible inside the ship," he added, "there was vegetation
everywhere."
Mr Carpenter was returned to Earth and now hopes to cash in on his close
encounter.
He said: "Now I just want my money."

By posting this story I make no claims to believing it but would have
thought an 'alien claw' would fetch more than £1 million if genuine!
