UFO over Berwick
Last week's blog included a post on a UFO seen over Berwick by a sober driver outside a closed pub in Paxton .Today's edition has a story about how other readers saw these same lights and one person sent in this image. The UFO anoraks have got quite excited by all this and a lot of theories have been put forward. But then one spoil sport produced the following explanation:
Tom Wakenshaw, operations manager at Berwick Lifeboat Station, said that rather than being a UFO, the lights were actually flares released as part of a lifeboat training exercise.
" I was very surprised when I read that people thought they saw a UFO hovering over Berwick on Monday
What a kill joy
But what he did not add (as it is classified) that the exercise is to do with the eventuality of the lifeboat being called out to rescue little green men(or women, of course) who have fallen into the sea from alien spacecraft. It could happen claims Hutton Think Tank who together with Fishwick Special Branch once arrested a little green man near Knowe's Close , just after closing time at the Cross,who claimed to be a Leprecaun following a rainbow to find a pot of gold. HTT and FSB eventually let him go and the Procurator Fiscal never pressed charges for lack of real evidence
The Pot of Gold was confiscated as being probably stolen as was the Shillelagh for being an offensive weapon.
