Initial data
The small, dank mining town of Hednesford, Staffordshire, England, is close to the southern tip of Cannock Chase.
Mr and Mrs. Milin Milakovic and their 11 children live at 432 Cannock Road. On the afternoon of November 20, 1968, a Yugoslav couple and their 11-year-old son Slavik left Hednesford in search of a home. They drove through the English countryside to Rugeley, Abbots Bromley and stopped at Hanbury to see Hanbury Hall.
Hanbury, on the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, is halfway between Uttoexter and Burton-on-Trent. Three and a half miles to the northwest is the central workshop 32 REME and an army facility. Two miles to the northwest is a Royal Air Force base used as an ammunition depot, "and there are very vague rumors that nuclear weapons are stored there." Three miles to the south is a World War II-era IT airfield used by brewing firm Ind Coope for light aircraft.
On the way home, Milakovici stopped near Hanbury to see an old house for sale. As they continued on their way, dusk was fast approaching. It was between 5:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.
The pair saw a rabbit jumping across the road, followed by several other rabbits from a hedge on the left side of the road. Looking to the left, eyewitnesses saw a bright object in the field.
Milakovic stopped the car when the UFO slowly climbed and flew over the car. The pair got out of the car and watched as the object moved across a field on the right side of the road to the house about 100 yards (90m) away. After crossing the house, he stopped, hovered and trembled, "like jelly."
Doris Milakovic said the air temperature seemed much higher when the UFO flew overhead, but as it moved, the temperature dropped. She also said the object looked "wide as a house."
Within about five minutes, Ms. Milakovic, her husband and son saw several humanoid figures walking along the bright top of a UFO. Periodically, "you could see that some of the pieces were leaning over, as if looking at something in the part of the object under the rim."
The object then began to move upwards with a "pulsing or sharp" motion. The intensity of his light increased greatly, and Milakovic felt that his eyes were burning.
Terrified Milakovic, usually a brave man, pushed his wife and son into the car and fled the scene.
NMH Turner and W. Daniels investigated the report.

Figures Seen on UFO
UFO and occupants as reportedly seen near Hanbury, England, November 20, 1968.
The small, dank mining town of Hednesford, Staffordshire, England, lies near the southern end of Cannock Chase. Mr. and Mrs. Milin Milakovic and their 11 children live at 432 Cannock Road. On the afternoon of November 20, 1968, the Yugoslavian couple and their 11-year old son, Slavic, left Hednesford on a house-hunting trip. They journeyed through the English countryside to Rugeley, Abbots Bromley, and stopped at Hanbury to view Hanbury Hall.
Hanbury, on the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border, is midway between Uttoexter and Burton-on-Trent. Three and one-half miles to the northwest is Central Workshop 32 R.E.M.E., an army installation. Two miles to the northwest is a Royal Air Force station, used as an ammunition dump “and there are very vague rumors that nuclear weapons are stored there.” Three miles to the south is a World War IT airfield, used by the Ind Coope brewery firm for light aircraft.
On the road home, the Milakovics stopped just outside Hanbury to look at an old house for sale. As they continued on, dusk was rapidly approaching. It was between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. The couple saw a rabbit scurry across the road, followed by a number of other rabbits from a hedge on the left side of the road. Glancing to the left, the witnesses saw a brilliant object in the field. Milakovic stopped the car as the UFO rose slowly and flew over the car. The couple got out of the automobile and watched as the object moved over a field on the right side of the road toward a house about 100 yards away. As it got over the house, it stopped, hovered, and quivered “like a jelly.” Doris Milakovic said that the air temperature appeared considerably warmer as the UFO flew overhead, but, as it moved on, the temperature dropped. She also said that the object looked “as wide as the house.”
For approximately five minutes, Mrs. Milakovic, her husband and son saw what appeared to be several humanoid figures walking across the bright top of the UFO. Intermittently, “some of the figures were seen to bend down as though looking at something in the part of the object below the rim. .. .”
Then the object began moving up in a “pulsating or jerky” movement- Its light intensity greatly increased and Milakovic felt his eyes were burning.
Thoroughly frightened, Milakovic, normally a brave man, pushed his wife and son into the car and sped away from the scene.
