FT262/263


A CHESHIRE ENCOUNTER
On a warm spring night in April 1975, an electrician and former RAF engineer was walking across an old railway bridge in Stockport, Cheshire, close to the large brickworks at Adswood.

Suddenly, as ‘Keith’ reported later: “I saw this green streak of light heading along the railway track and, before I knew where I was, there was a very strange thing right next to me on the path illuminated by a nearby streetlamp.”

The ‘thing’ was about 2ft long, sleek and black and rather akin to a cruise missile. On its side it had an aperture like a large eye; a slit over this opened to reveal a greenish glow that seemed to be staring at Keith.
