There were strange goings-on in Warminster, Wiltshire, home to a spate of flying saucer sightings in the west of England. Nationwide's Brian Ash spent a day and night looking for UFOs with the help of Arthur Shuttlewood and Rex Dutta.
This clip is from Nationwide, originally broadcast 28 August 1973.

Good to see Rex Dutta in this. In 1975 (when I was more credulous) me and a fellow amateur “ufologist” saw him give a talk at Croxley Green Youth Club. We chatted to him afterwards and got a free copy of his magazine "Aquarius Viewpoint" (which I still have) - a curious stew of UFO reports and mysticism. He was clearly a major fan of H. P. Blavatsky and her "stupendous" Secret Doctrine!

about 20 years ago bbc2 used to play short video clips sent in by viewers between programs. one was a couple of kids mucking round with the camera when they spot a big glowing object sailing past at dusk at roof height outside the window. its amazing coulour footage but ive never seen it anywhere since. one of the kids is singing ' im a little spaceman' at the end of the clip.

The problem here is the same for all witness testimony, it's never consistent, and it's often wrong. The journalist said the lights were high up in the sky flashing on and off, another says they were rising up into the sky. The journalist also says it looked like an explosion, a ball of fire, a blinding flash of light, while another described it as a camera flash. One guy takes it much further and injects his own idea of intelligent beings communicating. And on and on. Conveniently the camera never captured any of it. And where are the two 'time exposure' pictures that were taken from a neighboring hill? I would say 100 people just got trolled. They might as well say the lights picked them up with their mind rays and shook them like a dawg.

Modern equipment would perform better, and most agree that there needs to be multiple camera locations. My feeling is that they should be a great distance apart. Images and videos always show some object miles away. There must be some strategy that would improve the odds of capturing an image when it's closer to being just over head.

These UFO experts' name sounds like Monty Python characters. 😆 They were probably experimental military jets or drones, especially since this was during the Cold War. 😁 Possibly the BBC didn't show the photographs, because if they were, what I think they are, the images would have been censored. 🤔 The only real flying saucers are the ones filled with sherbet. 😋😆
