Alan Godfrey

Alan Godfrey is a retired police constable of the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police Force who claims to have seen an unidentified flying object and been the victim of an alien abduction.[1]

While checking reports of cattle wandering around a local council estate in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, on 28 November 1980, Godfrey claims he saw a bright light in the road ahead that he described as a hovering, rotating object. According to Godfrey, he experienced missing time of approximately twenty-five minutes, a split boot, and an itchy, red mark on his foot. Godfrey says that via hypnotic regression, he recalled being medically examined by alien creatures.[2]

Six months earlier, Godfrey investigated the death of Zigmund Adamski, who had been missing for five days before his body was found on top of a coal pile.[3] According to the coroner, Adamski had died of a heart attack. Godfrey told reporters that he believed it possible that Adamski had been abducted by aliens and placed on the coal pile “by someone or something”. According to sceptics, “this case is just another example of a story that sounds good at first, but that dissolves under direct scrutiny. As are so many stories of space alien abduction.” Godfrey has self-published Who or What Were They?, a book that includes his speculations regarding the Adamski case, abduction claims by Travis Walton, and his own UFO sighting.[4]
