The evening of 30 August 1962 the world was going to change dramatically for a teenager by the name of Anne Hanson, when she plunged into night battle with UFOs is very strange.

When I found her, in the 1990s, the years Henson raskazala me about this incident:

At the time when it happened, I lived on a dairy farm and went to school. I was sixteen at the time. I actually moved here with his family a few years ago, and now we have the nursery. It was the middle of the night and something must have woke me up because I sat in my bed, and I could see through the window what looked like a round ball of light in the sky. My room went beyond the Brendon hills. It seemed that the colors changed from red to green to yellow, and I could see a circle with rays of light coming out of it.

At first I thought it was a star, but it was not static. Then I thought it must be a helicopter or something like that, but it made absolutely no sound. Well, when he started to move back and forth and went from left to right, I was very intrigued by this, because he was doing a rather fast motion.

But first, I was attracted by the colours of the lights: they were nice bright colors. He came to me quite quickly and seemed to have increased in size, and then turned back and moved sideways on medium speed. But he always returned to the original position right above the hills.

Within an hour or so, the light gradually receded, until it became like a point of light.

Well, I went to sleep, but the next night I thought, could it be there again - and it was. This happened several times and I used to see it when it was a clear night. I did not feel threatened by this, because although it was close to our farm, he did not come so close.

Now that I've seen it several times, I decided that I would take a compass and a chart and try to trace where it came from, because it intrigued me. I thought it was a little different.

This is what happened when Hanson asked the officials:

After I several times saw the light and tracked his movement, I contacted Chivenor of the Royal air force. I told them about what he had seen, and then received the letter. Then this guy showed up at the house. It was evening when he first arrived and he stopped at this old black car. When he came to the house, he was dressed in a black suit and tie. I would guess that he was thirty, and I was very disappointed that it was not form. He declared himself the official Royal air force, and of course I took it as. For me he was an authority, so to speak. He really came to visit me a few times.

I assumed he was from RAF Chivenor, but he's not really said so. I was a little amazed that someone actually came to me. In total, Henson explained: "He came for three nights. The first night he came to my bedroom and we sat there waiting for the clouds cleared. Unfortunately, that night and the next night he saw nothing. So he said that he would have to come back again. Now, on the third night, he saw it.

He had an opinion as to what the phenomenon was? No, not at all, he just focused on how to look at it. But he was very agile. He was not very friendly, but he was not nasty. But on this night he took a few photos of the light. He didn't seem very surprised what he saw.

It was all very restrained, and I think that's the way to play it if it was something unusual. If he was worried I would be excited. Then he left, took my camera and took my pictures and writing. I never got them back. But before he left, he said nobody would believe that I have seen, and there was no point in talking about it at school.

At this age you don't want to be laughed at - and my family is still laughing at me.

Henson was puzzled by her strange experience:

At first I thought it was some kind of military facility, but then the Ministry of defence said that it was a planet, although it is not explained how she was moving. Now it all depends on whether you believe in UFOs or not. I don't understand why there should be life on other planets. And if so, why wouldn't they come here to see us?

In the case of Anne Hanson is klassichesky "Man in black". It started with the observation of the strange object and was accompanied by a visit to an authority figure in a dark suit that warned her not to talk about what she saw and confiscated e drawings and notes, which show the movement of the phenomenon that she had observed.

But the story of the Hanson differs in one striking aspect of many other descriptions of men in black, which remain untestable. In the official documents indicate that her mysterious visitor dressed in black served in the elite service of the safety and security of the British Royal air force, equivalent to the Office of special investigations U.S. air force (AFOSI). The fact that the organization of this level would be interested in the subject of UFOs, at least, intriguing.

The dossier stored in the National archives of England, said:

"Miss Ann Henson (16 years old) said that on 30 August 1962, from 22:30 to 22:00, she opened the window of my room facing North-East, and saw star-shaped object with red and green flames emanating from it. He was a bit more than the average star and it seemed round.

After about 2.5 minutes he became very small, and she could see it only with binoculars. She was absolutely sure it was not the navigation lights of the plane, because she had seen it many times and could immediately recognize them.

She didn't have it again until the 17th of October 1962, when she again saw the object that was partially hidden by fog. Using binoculars she compared the object with multiple stars and noticed that the stars were silver-white, whereas the object was red and green. Beside and above him, she noticed another one exactly the same, but smaller object. She noticed the difference in color of the original object, which now radiated the green and orange flame just as before.

Mother Ann, said she saw the object, described her daughter. She could not give any explanation relative to the object, but believed that it was not a star. She refused to make a written statement.

The visit was made on 1 November 1962, when the sky was cloudless and all the stars were visible. She, however, said that the object was not visible in that particular night. Observations were conducted for one hour, but could not see anything. She asked to continue their observations and the next time she saw the object or objects and make a chart showing its position relative to stars. This she agreed to do.

November 28, 1962, she was again visited.However, although observation was continued for 2 hours, the sky was unclear and could not see anything. Miss Hanson was interviewed and said she saw the objects again in two cases, and although she made a chart, it did not indicate the date. She said that she will monitor the objects, noting the time and date, and make another chart, which it will be mailed to this headquarters.

The Ministry of Aviation Affairs has come to the conclusion that Anne Hanson didn't see anything weirder than usual celestial body such as a star or a planet - theory, with which it strongly disagrees.

Original news

On the evening of August 30, 1962, the world was about to change drastically for a teenager named Anne Henson when she was plunged into a late-night UFO/bedroom encounter of a very weird kind. When I tracked her down, in the 1990s, Henson told me about the incident: “At the time that this happened, I lived on a dairy farm and was still at school; I was sixteen at the time. I actually moved back here with my family some years ago and we run a nursery business now. It was the middle of the night and something must have woken me up because I sat up in my bed and I could see through the window what looked like a round ball of light in the sky; my room over-looked the Brendon Hills. It seemed to change color from red to green to yellow and I could see a circle with rays of light coming from it. “At first I thought it was a star, but it wasn’t static. Then I thought that it must be a helicopter or something like that, but there was absolutely no sound from it. Well, it then began moving backwards and forwards and went from left to right. I was very intrigued by it because it was making fairly rapid movements. But it was the colors of the lights that attracted me first; they were nice bright colors. It would come towards me quite quickly and appeared to increase in size, and then reversed and moved sideways at a middle speed. But it always returned to its original position just above the hills.

“Over an hour or so, the light gradually receded until it was just like a pin-prick of light. Well, I went to sleep, but the next night I wondered if it might be there again – and it was. This happened on a few occasions and I got quite used to seeing it when it was a clear night. To be honest, I got quite friendly with it, really. I didn’t feel threatened by it, because although it came close to our farm, it didn’t come that close. Now, when I’d seen it a few times, I decided that I would get a compass and graph paper and try to track where it was coming from because this was intriguing me. I thought, this is a bit different.”

It was what happened when Henson approached officials that really set wheels in motion:

“After I saw the light for a few times and tracked the movements of it, I contacted [Royal Air Force] Chivenor. I told them what I’d seen and then I got a letter saying that my sighting was being looked at. Then this chap turned up at the house. It was an evening when he arrived for the first time, and he pulled up in this old black car; and when he came in the house he was wearing a black suit and tie. I would imagine that he was in his late thirties and I was most disappointed that he wasn’t wearing a uniform. He announced himself as a Royal Air Force official and, of course, I took it as such. To me, he was an authority, put it like that. He actually came to visit me on several occasions. I assumed he was from RAF Chivenor; he didn’t actually say so. I was a bit over-awed that somebody was actually coming to see me. Altogether,” Henson explained, “he came on three nights. On the first night he came up to my bedroom and we sat there waiting for the clouds to clear. Unfortunately, that night and the next night he came, we couldn’t see anything. So, he said that he would have to come back again. Now, on the third night, he saw it.”

Did he have any opinion as to what the phenomenon was?

“No, none at all, he was just concentrating on looking at it. But he was very cagey. He wasn’t very friendly, but he wasn’t nasty either. But on this night he took some photos of the light. He didn’t seem very surprised by what he saw. It was all very, very low-key, which I suppose is the way to play it if it was something unusual. If he’d have got excited, I’d have got excited. He then left and he took his camera and took my compass drawings and notes – and I never got them back. But before going he said that nobody else would believe what I’d seen and there was no point in me talking about it at school. At that age, you don’t want to be laughed at – and my family had laughed at me, anyway.”

Henson was puzzled about her bizarre experience: “I thought originally that it was some military object, but then the Ministry of Defense said it was a planet, although that didn’t explain the way it moved. Now, it all hinges on whether or not you believe in UFOs. I can’t see why there shouldn’t be life on other planets. And if there is, why shouldn’t they come here to have a look at us?”

men-in-black

Anne Henson’s case is a classic Man in Black encounter. It started with the sighting of a strange object and was followed by a visit from a dark-suited authority figure who warned her not to talk about what she had seen, and who confiscated her compass drawings and notes that displayed the movements of the phenomenon she had observed. But Henson’s account differs in one striking aspect to many other Men in Black accounts that remain unverifiable. The official files on her experience identify her mysterious, black-garbed visitor as an employee of the British Royal Air Force’s elite Provost and Security Services – the equivalent of the United States’ Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI). That an organization of this caliber would take a keen interest in the subject of UFOs is intriguing, to say the least.

The files, held at the National Archives, England, state: “”MISS ANNE HENSON, aged 16, said that on 30th August, 1962 between 10.30 p.m. and 10.55 p.m. she opened the window of her room which faces N.N.E. and saw a diminishing star-like object with what appeared to be red and green colored flames coming from it. It was slightly larger than the average star and appeared to be round. After about 21/2 minutes it became very small and she could only see it with the aid of binoculars. She was quite sure that it was not the navigation lights of an aircraft because she had seen these many times and could recognize them immediately.

“She did not look for it again until 17th October 1962, when she saw the object again which was partially obscured by fog. With the aid of binoculars she compared the object with several stars and noticed that the stars were silvery white whereas the object was red and green. Near to and above the object she noticed another exactly similar but smaller object. She noticed a difference in the color of the original object which was now emitting green and orange flames in the same way as before.

“MRS. C. HENSON, mother of ANNE HENSON, said that she had seen the object described by her daughter. She could offer no explanation as to the identity of the object but was of the opinion that it was not a star. She declined to make a written statement. A visit was made on 1st November, 1962 when the sky was clear and all stars visible. MISS HENSON, however, said that the object was not in view on this particular night. Observations were maintained for one hour but nothing was seen. MISS HENSON was asked to continue her observations and on the next occasion on which she saw the object or objects to compile a diagram showing its position in relation to the stars. This she agreed to do.

“On 28th November, 1962, the next available opportunity, [the witnesses address] was again visited. However, although observations were maintained for 2 hours the sky remained obscured and nothing was seen. MISS HENSON was interviewed and said that she had seen the objects again on two occasions and although she had compiled a diagram she had omitted to note the date. She said that she would again watch for the objects noting times and dates and compile another diagram which she will forward by post to this Headquarters.

“MISS HENSON reports unidentified aerial phenomena and provides a diagram showing their position in relation to stars. The objects have not been seen by the Investigator who cannot therefore give an opinion as to their identity. It is considered that MISS HENSON is a reasonable person, although at 16 years of age girls are inclined to be over-imaginative. However, MISS HENSON is supported by her mother, a person of about 50 years of age, who seems quite sincere. The matter should be brought to the notice of [the] Department at Air Ministry set up to investigate such phenomena.”

The Air Ministry concluded that Anne Henson encountered nothing stranger than a celestial body, such as a star or a planet – a theory that she strongly disagrees with.

The heavenly bodies

The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.

Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
