and make his usual state-the-ob[l]vious assertions but it was sad to see Jenny Randles get duped and end up telling us that 95% of cases are explainable - but covering nothing of the 5%.

For the average viewer this episode will have made the subject lifeless - just as public perception is shifting. Well done. !-End-!

Dear UFO Enthusiast,
 
In April 2008, I was approached by Firefly Productions which was a TV company commissioned to do a series of documentaries on the UK's most interesting UFO events. The first of these is due to be shown on Channel 5 at 8pm on July 2nd '08.
 
I have kept in regular contact with the company as I'd been informed that the programme would be aired in July. Over the last three weeks, all forms of contact with Firefly have been ignored.
 
Today July 1st 2008, I received a voice mail call on my mobile from the Director of the programme who stated that the programme would be aired (tomorrow)! He then went on to state that for 'editorial reasons', none of the filming involving me was included in the programme.
 
That was astounding following a whole day of filming on the Berwyn Range.
 
I did during the filming advise that Firefly would probably get problems as it was a condition of mine, that conclusive evidence and facts (not speculation) would be supplied.
 
Despite the denials of the authorities and the rantings of the debunkers (state sponsored or otherwise), my evidence does not prove that a UFO crashed on the Berwyn Range in 1974. Indeed, contrary to most enthusiasts, and having interviewed the principle witnesses to the event, I believe there was no UFO crash - that was impossible. There was however, a UFO sat on Cader Berwyn from at least 8.30pm to just before 10.30pm that night. It was seen to land lower on Cader Berwyn at 9.20pm and the infamous nurse - district nurse Pat Evans and her two daughters saw it at 10pm - quite by accident.
 
The reason it was an accident, is that she did not leave her home until just after 9.30pm. She did not speak to Police offering her medical services to a suspected plane crash until just before 9.30pm.
She was not given a specific location to visit, yet long before that, the Police had set up a major incident log regarding a suspected plane crash above Llandrillo and on Cader Bronwen mountain in the Berwyn Range. She went on the B4391 of her own volition.
 
Yet while she was talking to the Police, Police officers had already been sent to Llandrillo yet this info and location was denied to her. Indeed, Police officers from Bala and as suggested by farmer Huw Llloyd who took the Police up Cader Bronwen, officers from Barmouth (an hour's drive away), were in his farmyard by 9.15pm. This fact has not previously come to light and as a result, North wales Police has intensified its harassment of me and has stalled every foot of the way in providing additional data requested under the Freedom of Information Act, which also proves that liason has taken place between the Police and other state funded agencies including, the British Geological Survey.
 
So, the Police seemingly lied to Pat Evans to make it look like her help was needed, but in fact detered her from going to Llandrillo.
 
As it happened, her UFO was only about a mile from her actually on the slope of Moel Sych, not on Cader Berwyn, and certainly not on Cader Bronwen some four miles away as the crow flies.
 
The Police were on Cader Bronwen with Huw Lloyd before 9.30pm. That is four miles from Pat Evan's position and debunking literature full of lies has been used to make enthusiasts believe that Police and Huw Lloyd plus poachers, were on Cader Berwyn. Torches and lights proved that Pat Evans was actually looking at Police torches and a poacher's lamp.
 
For the record, both I and Huw Lloyd (in case we are misrepresented by the programme), both stated on camera, that the Police never went onto Cader Berwyn, nor did any meeting take place with poachers that night. further to that, the 'poachers' were not poaching and have testified that they were off the Cader Bronwen above Llandrillo at 9.15pm due to dead batteries from their hunting expedition. They also hid in the bushes watching the Police inspect their vehicle it blocking the trackway in part. As soon as the coast was clear, they left. They were not poachers. They were hunting with lamps and guns with land owner consent. they were never on Cader Berwyn and they were off the mountain range long before Pat Evans even left her home in Llandderfel, so anyone claiming she saw a poacher's lamp is lying.
 
I am in a battle now with the British Geological Survey which is in possession of documents which it denies it has, but which is confirmed by some of its own staff and staff records and by arch debunker Andy Roberts who has published this in his 'welsh roswell' effort and in his in part written book, The UFOs That Never Were.
 
I am awaiting the result of an internal review following an official complaint regarding this and several blatant lies which I've been told to try and put me off the scent.
 
I am sending this out in advance of the programme as by cancelling out me, the programme makers do not have a single pro UFO input to balance up any debunking arguments. So it is expected to be a white wash.
 
What is most disturbing is that the Editor has chosen to eliminate all evidence and documents which I showed in full for clarity and proof for the viewers. It is not a case of whether an alien craft was on the Berwyn Range, it is all to do with documentation showing concrete proof that various agencies have lied and lied again over this event.
 
No doubt the programme will be interesting, but now, Huw Lloyd and the hunters may be edited too to tip the programme in favour of a non event.
 
Pat Evans and her daughters refused to take part in the programme though I had consent to quote the family and provide evidence for the real truth.
 
Enjoy the programme if you watch it. I will send out a follow up email with comments of the principle witnesses.
 
Thank you.

Follow up article from Scott

Dear UFO Enthusiasts,

 

I am sending out this account following the outrageous Channel 5 TV documentary on the Berwyn Mountain Incident on Wednesday July 2^nd 2008, a programme created by Firefly Productions and part of a series on the UKs closest UFO encounters.

 

Please pass this on to as many of your fellow UFO enthusiasts as possible. This will go some way to showing just how much the programme was slanted in favour of the debunkers. It should also demonstrate a little the appalling methods used by these people to divert attention away from UFOs and in particular, away from this Berwyn Mountain incident and no doubt others in the series.

 

I will be ensuring that this information is given to as much of the North Wales population as possible through all channels and especially to the residents of Llandrillo who have once again been fed drivel and treated like idiots. I will be ensuring this too to keep the local populous interested in reporting their sightings to anyone involved with the Wales Fellowship Of Independent Ufologists, spearheaded by veteran Ufologist Mrs Margaret Fry.

 

Margaret has asked me to advise North Wales residents not to give their sightings reports to anyone not residing in the region and who cannot fully investigate such. She has concluded that often even well meaning people can inadvertently alienate locals and especially Welsh speaking locals. Following the programme, there is an atmosphere of resentment already appearing towards ‘outsiders’ who rubbish and belittle the locals.

 

Anyone who watched it must have been shocked at the degree of imbalance and not with standing the fact that a decision had been taken by the programme’s commissioning editor to edit out anything and everything which while not proving the existence of a UFO on the Berwyn Mountain range on January 23^rd 1974, would certainly have balanced the content or most probably, would have tipped the balance in great favour of something ‘exotic’ having occurred that night.

 

I am personally peeved because I was asked and filmed to demonstrate how all of the debunking literature so far produced was fabricated, the facts twisted and who had lied.

 

It is an open secret that I have been invited to write a comprehensive chapter in a forthcoming book of a well known British UFO researcher on the Berwyn event. The content is based on documents which I’ve received under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, some of which, no other investigator has managed to obtain and how I have discovered where exactly on Cader Berwyn the UFO seen actually rested.

 

What is significant, is that I have irrefutable proof that the debunking version of events portrayed by Andy Roberts in his ‘Welsh Roswell’ is based on lies, half truths and supposition. I showed some of this to the filming team and whilst filming up on the Berwyn Mountains range, I was able to show how the debunkers have tried to claim that Police, poachers, farmers etc were on Cader Berwyn and that Pat Evans and her two daughters, Diane and Tina, were mistaken, seeing Police torches surrounding a poacher’s lamp when these apparent ’criminals’ were stopped and spoken to by the Police.

 

The TV programme itself was a litany of blatant lies.

 

The former Assistant Chief Constable Elfed Roberts though relating his experiences was very conservative with the truth and lied at least once. He lied by saying at one point, that an officer(s) left the commandeered vehicle belonging to Huw Lloyd’s parents and flashed torches about. This was a pathetic attempt to try and prop up Andy Roberts’ assertion that Mrs Evans saw Police torches. Huw Lloyd the teenage farmer at the time, was filmed and testified that at no time did any Police officer leave the vehicle to look around nor, did any use of torches take place. That was edited out and the Police officer given free reign to state otherwise. It was suggested that only two police officers were present at that point; there was at least four, possibly five. Huw could not recall exactly, but certainly more than three and none was local or known to him.

 

Andy Roberts stuck to his version of events, despite the fact that his ‘poachers’ who were not poachers at all, stated that they had packed in lamping by 9.15 pm. The Police were inspecting their vehicle partly blocking the track up the mountain at 9.20 pm. Please note, that Pat Evans and daughters did not arrive anywhere on the range until 10 pm that night. 45 minutes after the poacher’s departed. So whatever she saw, it was not a poacher’s lamp. Further to that, she has constantly been portrayed as being somewhere near to the poaching and Police search activities.

 

The truth is, that Pat Evans was deliberately subverted by North Wales Police and that is why she ended up on the B 4391, and four miles from the Police search above Llandrillo, and thus four miles from any headlamp, torch or anything even if there when she arrived at her vantage point..

 

The Police were searching for a suspected plane crash on Cader Bronwen Mountain above Llandrillo, based on reports of an explosion sound accompanying the earth tremor rumblings and then seeing lights above the village over the ridge known as Cefn Pen Llety. Debunkers have continually tried to suggest that events occurred on Cader Berwyn Mountain where Mrs Evans and her daughters observed the UFO.

 

I will reiterate, that at no time whatsoever was any Police officer or civilian at large on Cader Berwyn and that there was absolutely no connection between the UFO and Llandrillo village. Also, no one in Llandrillo could possibly see anything on Cader Berwyn or even Cader Bronwen. Both mountains and peaks are obscured by lower hill slopes and ridges.

 

I would advise readers that the principle reason that Pat Evans now spends most of her time in Tenerife, was to escape the attentions not of debunkers, but of UFO buffs who totally disregarded her testimony and privacy, often knocking unannounced on her front door late at night and even arguing with her that she was lying, simply because her true experience did not fit the mindset of the UFO enthusiast.

 

 

Pat Evans was subverted by North Wales Police because she did not get through to them offering her medical assistance until just before 9.30pm. At 9.10 pm, the Police had already opened a major incident log and Police officers were in Huw Lloyd’s yard. Yet, when Pat Evans spoke to the Police, she was not directed from Llandderfel (where she lived) to Llandrillo. She was given no idea of where to go to assist and by her own volition, took the B4391 to gain a vantage point. This action was premeditated and supports other actions to deter civilian interest in events that night.

 

Thus, she stumbled upon the UFO purely by chance.

 

The irony here, is that Huw Lloyd has testified that Police Officers from Bala and from Barmouth too (over an hour’s drive in those days??), were in his yard at 9.10 pm, and had to pass Llandderfel where Pat Evans lived to reach Llandrillo and the route onto Cader Bronwen. One of those Policemen was Elfed Roberts. In that documentary, he must have known that Pat Evans was treated in this way.

 

The Police did not tell Mrs Evans to go to Llandrillo because her assistance was unwanted.

 

Elfed Roberts along with the other Policemen present saw nothing on Cader Bronwen, though all including Huw Lloyd saw for a few seconds, a bright white light south towards Cader Berwyn which lasted a few seconds and then subsided. Huw Lloyd testified to that, but that fact was omitted from the programme, and Elfed Roberts chose not to mention it!

 

Bearing in mind that the earth tremor which occurred that evening and which led locals and Police to believe a plane had crashed above Llandrillo, was at approx’ 8.40 pm, twelve hours would pass before it was light enough to continue any search the next day. In 12 hours, the Civil Aviation and Military Authorities would know if an air craft was missing, yet the search continued aided by, a three man search and rescue team from RAF Valley in Anglesey.

The Police requested search assistance and the RAF sent a three man team which arrived late on the evening of the tremor and sighting. In the programme, Andy Roberts played down that military presence and suggested that military ‘vehicles’ seen in Llandrillo by locals created the belief of a military presence and covert activities.

 

There was a three man team, in ONE vehicle.

 

Incidentally, all the details of every search and rescue operation conducted by the RAF Valley team for 1974 are missing. As far as the MoD is concerned, no RAF personnel was involved in an operation requested by the Police at any time in 1974.

 

I also presented to the film crew evidence that steps were taken to deny the use of civilian mountain rescue enthusiasts who knew the Berwyn Range intimately. Such had been used before but not on this occasion. Mr Roberts in his Welsh Roswell has insisted that the locals have it wrong and that they confused matters with large military presences at military air crashes in 1972 and 1982. Such a presence giving credence to the UFO fraternity claim that soldiers sealed off the mountain range in order to extract a crashed alien vehicle.

 

I could concur a little with the 1982 event, but I believe the 1972 event was invented to enhance the case against the locals. I believe this because I have in my possession a full listing of all military air crashes in North Wales in 1972 and I can state that no air craft crashed in that year anywhere near the Berwyn range. Three were on Anglesey and one near Llanbedr air field on the west coast. In debunking literature, reference is made to this ‘72 crash and this has often been repeated, but not one sceptic promoting this has so far published details of the craft, its occupants, airfield of origin etc. Nothing.

 

I also have details of all military and civilian air crashes for near surrounding years and again, nothing crashed anywhere near the Berwyn Range. In 1968 there was a crash near the summit of Cader Bronwen with several fatalities. Mr Roberts also attempts to elaborate the debunking case by suggesting that the air crash in 1982 involved a plane carrying top secret gear.

 

That is absolute rubbish. I have a full account of the event from the military and the pilot was a simple lone student flyer on a routine sortie in a training plane. I have the crash map reference number and details of the three farmers who received compensation from the MoD for damage to land during the text book recovery operation. Indeed, Huw Lloyd’s father escorted the American pilot’s parents to the crash site at a later date.

 

As regards the earth tremor that night. It was quite violent. However, the programme tried to give credence to Jenny Randles and her earth light theory by overtly moving the epicentre of the quake 9 miles, to make it appear under Cader Bronwen. That is a blatant lie to the viewing audience.

 

Earth lights if they exist, would occur on the stress points of the fault lines. The epicentre of the quake was 5 - 7000 metres below Bala itself. Firefly editorship moved this to directly below Cader Bronwen to coincide with Jenny’s theory. Even the British Geological Survey which is involved in the official cover up of this event, knows the epicentre point and does not deny that.

 

Yes, all the big guns were dragged into this documentary to put down interest in the event. Ron Madison engaged the RAF to overfly the range to search for a meteorite impact crater - try and get the photos. The programme claimed the team was there for four days, yet the next day, the BGS arrived having confirmed that an earth tremor had occurred. Ron Madison and associates carried on looking for a meteor impact crater despite confirmation that the explosion heard was linked to an earth tremor. That though didn’t stop there. The three man RAF team which officially ceased its search just after 2 pm, was then seen on Cader Berwyn later that day.

 

Of course the programme played down the search and rescue presence as officially, it did not take place.

 

As regards the guest appearance of Dr Roger Musson, well, what can I say? I have, just two days before the airing of the programme, received documents from the British Geological Survey following a formal complaint and internal investigation conducted by the Director of that organisation. Roger Musson is a personal friend of Andy Roberts, and guards the records regarding the Bala earth quake with a zeal unheard of. Much of Andy’s debunking literature is based on documents purportedly held by the BGS. Roger Musson has obstructed me for two years in my getting access to those BGS documents. And why?

 

Why indeed? I can assure readers of this, that those BGS documents do not show Police, poachers lights etc in the same small area of mountain side where Pat Evans saw them as claimed by Andy Roberts. Any references are on Cader Bronwen, miles from Pat Evans’ position on the B4391 road. Mrs Evans must have had exceptional eyesight to see a non existent home made hunting lamp four miles away along with, Police torches - simple two cell affairs in those days. With Roger Musson guarding the documentary evidence that Andy Roberts has enhanced, there has been little chance thus far of getting to the truth.

 

Andy Roberts cannot now stand by the debacle of a debunking exercise he has written and published as to do so would show an unprecedented arrogance and contempt for genuine witnesses involved in a genuine event. To continue to stand by that false literature is to call the hunters liars, Huw Lloyd a liar and the Evans family liars amongst others.

 

The North Wales edition of the Daily Post ran a story about gamekeeper Geraint Edwards on July 2^nd the same day as the programme aired. It meant nothing to me at the time, but seeing the programme made me realise that the quotes in the newspaper article by Geraint and Elfed Roberts the ex cop were identical to the wording used in the programme. So, someone had given access to the Daily Post to the programme content in advance of the airing a leak, by accident or design. Yet I was specifically asked by the filming team representatives not to discuss the filming until the show aired.

 

Of course, the input from the former gamekeeper and also the camcorder shots taken in 2000, had no bearing whatsoever on the subject of a 23^rd of January 1974 UFO incident. They were a poor attempt to show some input by witnesses as if coming from pro UFO people. No pro UFO people were given air time on that programme.

 

My input simply showed that the opposition to the UFO presence could not be allowed to be shown as incorrect or blatantly false. I demonstrated this in great clinical detail and then an editorial decision was taken to erase that input.

 

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Naturally Firefly got only snippets of information from me but it was enough. I can’t prove an alien craft was on the slopes of Cader Berwyn in 1974, but I can prove that most of the material used for years to debunk it is false. The sceptics have simply relied on apathy to get away with this and obstruction by friends and friends of friends.

 

This is my personal opinion of the programme which has now aired. I have been informed that another UFO enthusiast was approached about the South Wales Welsh Triangle and after some information was supplied, Firefly simply did not contact the guy again. I knew this, and on his behalf, sent several emails and text messages to Firefly asking them nothing more than to get in touch and inform the guy where he stood. Nothing. No acknowledgement to me or contact between them and the said Ufologist.

 

Person linked to the forthcoming Warminster coverage are now gravely concerned about how their input will be portrayed. If however, the remaining documentaries are balanced, it will make viewers suspicious that concerted efforts have been made to quell interest in the Berwyn Mountain UFO event.

 

Thank you.
