15 Mar 1985 the Ealing Gazette newspaper published an article "Flight of the Phoenix". It tells of sightings of a large winged animal flying over Brentford in West London.

The newspaper cited the testimony of a resident Kivin Chippendale, who said:

"I saw it twice in the same place at a height of 10 meters, apartment "Green dragon". Its appearance of a huge bird attracted me in the first place. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was a plane. His form was very accurate. In the following weeks there were more cases when the giant animals flying over the skies of Brentford."

Original news

On March 15, 1985 the Ealing Gazette newspaper published an eye-catching story titled Flight of the Phoenix. The subject: a large, winged beast that had supposedly been seen flying over the Brentford area of West London. As the newspaper stated: “Is it a bird…? Or is it a plane…? No, but it could be a Griffin!The bizarre giant bird has been seen several times – and some people believe it could be the legendary half-eagle, half-lion returning to the area where it has forged many historic links.”

The Gazette cited the testimony of local man Kevin Chippendale, who said: “I saw it twice in the same place about 30 feet up by the Green Dragon flats. The shape of the bird is what attracted me in the first place. When I first saw it I thought it was an airplane. It had a very definite shape.” And, in the weeks that followed, other reports of giant, winged beasts soaring through the skies of Brentford surfaced; Griffin mania quickly gripped the area.
