      As with every other interview associated with the Ariel School sighting this is a disappointing poorly conducted interview. Harald clearly hasn't done his homework. He assumed Dallyn had said he'd seen aliens - he never did so on the record and...

      The Bellingcat tool did quite well (without coding) at giving back results that used just three features: road, river, and cemetery within 20m (assuming you had a hunch it was Scotland) - however like Whatiswhere it didn't pick up the correct...

      Just came across this illustration in a 1954 edition of Saucerian. Note the Adamski-esque UFO top and a similar 'flying saucer' shape bottom.

      Another great book of that era is Visitors From Outer Space by Roy Stemman (1975) - memorably illustrated by Chris Foss. It has a page on throwing stuff in the air to create that perfect UFO snap. Interestingly it's now in the National Archives...
