Speaker 1: Strange Arrivals is a production of I Heart three D
Speaker 1: audio for full exposure, listen with headphones. What do you
Speaker 1: think of when I say the words Area fifty one,
Speaker 1: I think of aliens and government cover up. I think aliens,
Speaker 1: I think military. I think government cast site for secret
Speaker 1: aircraft projects where they're also might be UFOs being stashed
Speaker 1: after US who crash in the United States secret place
Speaker 1: the government hypes things. There was this big thing. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was last year or the year before,
Speaker 1: but there's this whole thing about it. Area do you
Speaker 1: Want Raid? The military has kind of confirmed that there's
Speaker 1: top secret stuff going on there, just with how they've
Speaker 1: reacted to the people trying to storm Areas fifty one
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Admit it pretty clear that they
Speaker 1: don't want anybody there for at this point decades. There's
Speaker 1: been various references till UFOs and creatures that were found there.
Speaker 1: Even if you have no interest in UFOs or government conspiracies,
Speaker 1: you know about Area fifty one. It's the secret base
Speaker 1: where the government supposedly houses crashed UFOs. It's where advanced
Speaker 1: alien technology is used to create aircraft whose capabilities defy
Speaker 1: the laws of physics as we know them, and it's
Speaker 1: evidence of a profound government conspiracy. Chris Carter had these
Speaker 1: cultural understandings in mind when he created the X files.
Speaker 1: We took a lot of what people knew about aliens
Speaker 1: or believed about aliens and UFOs, extraterrestrials and the government conspiracy.
Speaker 1: And there was a certain fascination with Roswell with areat one.
Speaker 1: They were part of the extraterrestrial alien abduction UFO lore.
Speaker 1: So how do you know about Area fifty one? Do
Speaker 1: you remember when you first heard about it, when you
Speaker 1: heard about it again and again. It's not from the
Speaker 1: government until recently. The government hasn't said anything official about
Speaker 1: UFOs since nineteen sixty nine. What we think we know
Speaker 1: about UFOs didn't come from any authoritative source. Instead, our
Speaker 1: understanding comes from unofficial sources within the culture. It is
Speaker 1: a kind of modern folklore. Now, folklore might make you
Speaker 1: think of myths or fairy tales or things that aren't true,
Speaker 1: but that's not necessarily the case. Folklore is just knowledge
Speaker 1: that it is transmitted through non formal means, like jokes
Speaker 1: or urban legends or rumors. Whether that knowledge represents something
Speaker 1: real or not. Is almost beside the point. What is
Speaker 1: important is how that information is created and why it
Speaker 1: catches on. On this season of Strange Arrivals, we'll look
Speaker 1: at how that cultural understanding of UFOs evolved, beginning with
Speaker 1: the case known as Britain's Roswell, a series of encounters
Speaker 1: that stretched over three nights. We'll look at the initial
Speaker 1: story of the encounters, what the explanations might be, and
Speaker 1: then how the accounts changed and grew after the fact,
Speaker 1: zooming out. How was our understanding of UFOs formed beginning
Speaker 1: in the late nineteen forties, and how does it continue
Speaker 1: to influence the way we look at strange things in
Speaker 1: the sky. I'm Toby Ball and this is Strange Arrivals
Speaker 1: Episode one Boxing Day A variety of entertainment, but Christmas
Speaker 1: comedy with Little and Large Yard Wild to Christmas Show
Speaker 1: this year she set fire to the turkey and stuff
Speaker 1: the Christmas pudding, Christmas Magic contlusion with All Daniels. Now
Speaker 1: we've got all these practice from the Christmas tree and
Speaker 1: it's a festive blanket event. Oh look the place scattered
Speaker 1: with empty boxes of entertainment for Christmas with BBC One
Speaker 1: Christmas Night at Royal Air Force bent Waters in Air
Speaker 1: Base seventy five miles northeast of London on the North
Speaker 1: Sea coast. R A F. Bent Waters was technically a
Speaker 1: British base, but since World War Two had been under
Speaker 1: the control of the U. S Air Force. Three miles
Speaker 1: from Bentwaters was another Royal Air Force based under US
Speaker 1: control called R A F. Woodbridge. Surrounding these bases was
Speaker 1: a tract of English land called Randols from Forest, and
Speaker 1: it was on this tract of land that the sidings
Speaker 1: known as Britain's Roswell occurred. There were a number of
Speaker 1: witnesses to these events, but we will hear from the
Speaker 1: three who had the most direct experiences. Two of them
Speaker 1: in this episode. Well, it came on duty. It was
Speaker 1: Christmas night. It's kind of a late back night. They
Speaker 1: were actually playing some Christmas songs on the radio and
Speaker 1: one of the frequencies. The story of the first night
Speaker 1: starts with John Burrows. My name is John Burrows, retired
Speaker 1: United States Air Force. I was involved in an incident
Speaker 1: in that was at our fl Honors. I was a
Speaker 1: law enforcement so I was like a city cop. So
Speaker 1: I was stationed there. From we worked twenty seven about
Speaker 1: oh three hundred on which his Boxing day in the UK.
Speaker 1: While patrol, I was riding with my supervisor. Just got
Speaker 1: to the base and he wanted to ride around for
Speaker 1: a little bit. We were out doing some checks and
Speaker 1: one of the checks was going down by the East Gate.
Speaker 1: We were driving down towards the East Gate when he
Speaker 1: saw something strange in the sky. Wanted for the forest.
Speaker 1: Later was quoted as saying it landed and didn't crashed.
Speaker 1: Because I had been stationed there for almost two years,
Speaker 1: he got my attention and asked me if i'd say
Speaker 1: anything like that down there in that vicinity. And I
Speaker 1: looked at what he was looking at and they said no.
Speaker 1: There was like a coloring in the forest like orange
Speaker 1: is reddish, like a white light. Burrows Supervisor Sergeant Bud
Speaker 1: Stephens decided that they needed to investigate this further. This
Speaker 1: meant leaving the base. He decided that we were going
Speaker 1: to open up the gate, go down to the end
Speaker 1: of the road where there was a t whether or
Speaker 1: you were right there where you make a left or
Speaker 1: right left to go to Bell Waters, and then the
Speaker 1: forest was right across the road. Leaving the base was
Speaker 1: not a decision to be made lightly once they stepped
Speaker 1: foot off base, they were on English land. As we
Speaker 1: will see, it can be a very big deal to
Speaker 1: have US military acting on English territory without permission. On
Speaker 1: this night, they left the base, so he drove down
Speaker 1: to the t. He did like a U turn, so
Speaker 1: the vehicle was partially handing back towards the gate. I
Speaker 1: opened my door. When I opened the door, you can
Speaker 1: see the light was a white light. There was advancing
Speaker 1: towards us. There was a statical electricity there. At that point,
Speaker 1: both in the and I decided it was time to
Speaker 1: get back on the base because no one knew we
Speaker 1: were off base and hall and what was going on.
Speaker 1: We went out to the gate, called it in the
Speaker 1: It was a direct line to the law enforcement desks.
Speaker 1: The death sergeant at the desk, I played some practical
Speaker 1: jokes on him, so he actually didn't totally believe me.
Speaker 1: But Stephans got on the phone and reinforce it. But
Speaker 1: the desk sergeant still wasn't sure, so he transferred the
Speaker 1: call to Central Security Control or CSC. We went ahead
Speaker 1: and briefed c SC on what was going on. At
Speaker 1: that point. They said the security supervisor down to the
Speaker 1: gate that would have been Sergeant Peniston. My name is
Speaker 1: Jim Peniston the United States Thereforce. Retired Sergeant Jim Peniston
Speaker 1: is the second of the main witnesses. I was assigned
Speaker 1: as a security police flight chief. We worked on the
Speaker 1: main operating base, which was pent Waters, but that night
Speaker 1: I was working as flight chief over a Wooden Reach base.
Speaker 1: My job was the protection of all the priority BE
Speaker 1: and C resources over there, and also the base personnel
Speaker 1: and their property. And I doing a parimeter lighting check
Speaker 1: for the base, which ones burned out. Really mundane stuff.
Speaker 1: I completed all that, I met up on starte with
Speaker 1: McCulley at the chow hall on the base. This is
Speaker 1: around twelve o'clock midnight. As we'll see, the eyewitness stories
Speaker 1: are not always consistent. To make the narrative easier to follow,
Speaker 1: will start by looking at the basics of the story,
Speaker 1: the things they agree on. We'll examine the differences later.
Speaker 1: For now, though, it's important to note that Burrows and
Speaker 1: Peniston disagree about a very important and fundamental part of
Speaker 1: the story, the timing of events. Burrows talks about the
Speaker 1: sighting beginning around three in the morning. Peniston puts it
Speaker 1: at midnight. I promise we'll take a look at why
Speaker 1: this matters later in the season. But Burrows's timing is
Speaker 1: consistent with other statements given at the time, So for clarity,
Speaker 1: we'll use Brows's timeline, and that means when Penniston talks
Speaker 1: about being at the chow hall at midnight, we're actually
Speaker 1: talking about three am. Saron Colley says, you got a
Speaker 1: call the Calle Central Security Control and I said, okay,
Speaker 1: I missed it and went over to our direct lyne
Speaker 1: there and I said what's going on? And they said
Speaker 1: you need to go out to the East Gate immediately,
Speaker 1: go code to code to ment, proceed with lights on
Speaker 1: but no sirens. This indicated that there was some urgency
Speaker 1: to the situation. Penniston asked, what was going on? So
Speaker 1: will you be briefed after you get out there? Which
Speaker 1: was odd. So it's about a five minute drive going,
Speaker 1: you know. I get out there at the East skate
Speaker 1: area and started Bud Stephens, he's a law enforcement supervisor.
Speaker 1: I contact him. I said, what's going on? Bud? He
Speaker 1: started pointing over towards Rendissrom Forest and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: what's what's sad over there? I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what it is and he's not telling me. You could
Speaker 1: see uh, glowing multicolored lights and white light over the
Speaker 1: canopy of the forest. Peniston thought that the most likely
Speaker 1: explanation was a plane crash. He'd seen a number in
Speaker 1: his career. I says, you know, do you hear crash
Speaker 1: or you know, do the land or he said landed.
Speaker 1: That's that's impossible because the forest, all the trees are
Speaker 1: about five to six ft apart, so there's nothing that
Speaker 1: can survive a landing out there. Despite this strange comment
Speaker 1: from Stephens, Peniston still figured it was probably an airplane crash,
Speaker 1: and he used the direct phone line at the East
Speaker 1: gate to call back to Central Security Control on base.
Speaker 1: And so I'm on the phone with Darting Coffee, and
Speaker 1: when you make a direct call to Central Security Control,
Speaker 1: you have like five people on the line at the time,
Speaker 1: and they're all doing different functions. I was talking to
Speaker 1: a starting channel of the flight sergeant and I was
Speaker 1: telling about what I was observing, and the starting Coffee
Speaker 1: comes back online and says, yeah, I've contacted Eastern radar,
Speaker 1: London radar and Bentwater's radar and we have lost the
Speaker 1: contact with the Bogie and he says over Woodbridge Base.
Speaker 1: That means that they didn't have a transponder on it.
Speaker 1: It is probably military and he said about fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 1: So that created the emergency situation along at my visual
Speaker 1: sighting that we had a possible aircraft down. With the
Speaker 1: emergency condition existed, that gave us rights under the Status
Speaker 1: of Forces agreement to deploye off base and to investigate
Speaker 1: and to secure the crash site. So I took myself
Speaker 1: a security airman and a law enforcement airmand with me.
Speaker 1: The security airmen was named Ed Caban Sag. The law
Speaker 1: enforcement airmen was John Burrows. There was no need to
Speaker 1: take weapons off base for an aircraft crash. The British
Speaker 1: were very sensitive about automatic weapons and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Being off base airmen John Burrows. We left our weapons
Speaker 1: with Stephens, who didn't want to go in the first
Speaker 1: place until we watched our weapons, and we proceeded off
Speaker 1: based into the forest. So while Burrows is supervisor, Bud
Speaker 1: Stephens stayed back with the other men's weapons. Peniston, Burrows
Speaker 1: and Caban Sag piled into a jeep and drove towards
Speaker 1: the lights, expecting to come across a downed plane when
Speaker 1: as far as I could with my c J five
Speaker 1: jeep that we had. That's where I set the ANSER
Speaker 1: control point up aermon combands after the security Aermond. The
Speaker 1: only other person had a radio interface radio was him,
Speaker 1: so I set him up as an injury controller. I
Speaker 1: was going to proceed to the actual crash site with
Speaker 1: the law enforcement aermind Airmand Burrows. At that time, I
Speaker 1: was noticing I was having a breakup of my radio,
Speaker 1: which was impossible because we had repeaters all over the basis.
Speaker 1: There's no way that we could have a radio problem,
Speaker 1: but I was having him. So I told Cabanza, for
Speaker 1: any recent control center doesn't read what I'm saying or
Speaker 1: something like that, I want you to relay the information.
Speaker 1: He said he'd do that, so, leaving Caban sag behind,
Speaker 1: Penniston and Brows proceeded further into the forest towards the light.
Speaker 1: Strange arrivals will return in a moment. We've heard John
Speaker 1: Burrows and Jim Peniston tell us their version of what
Speaker 1: led up to their encounter in the forest. Afterward, several
Speaker 1: of the witnesses, including Burrows and Peniston, wrote statements to
Speaker 1: describe what had happened that night. We will have actors
Speaker 1: read from those statements where they helped to clarify the story.
Speaker 1: This is from burrows handwritten statement. We crossed the small
Speaker 1: open field that led into where the lights were coming from,
Speaker 1: and as we were coming into the trees, there were
Speaker 1: strange noises like a woman screaming. Also, the woods lit
Speaker 1: up and you could hear the fire animals making a
Speaker 1: lot of noises, and there was a lot of movement
Speaker 1: in the woods again Sergeant Jim Peniston. And so we
Speaker 1: get to the forest edge and I'm seeing the multicolored
Speaker 1: lights has pretty much disappeared. I'm seeing mainly a white
Speaker 1: light coming out from behind the trees. I entered the
Speaker 1: forest and I started feeling different physical sensations, like I
Speaker 1: could feel static electricity on my face and my hair
Speaker 1: and my clothes, and that was unusual. I was finding
Speaker 1: my movements labored. It would be like walking through a
Speaker 1: pool water that that was wasty. They struggled to get
Speaker 1: to a low embankment, which Burrows refers to as a berm.
Speaker 1: As we came up on the top of the berm,
Speaker 1: there was bright lights right in front of us. When
Speaker 1: we saw the lights, we all hit the ground, and
Speaker 1: whatever it was, it was really bright, dimmed down a
Speaker 1: little bit, and all I remember was the lights dimming
Speaker 1: down and going bright again. Burrows and Peniston have very
Speaker 1: different stories about what happened next. We'll come back to
Speaker 1: Peniston's account later in this season. Burrows account is very brief.
Speaker 1: According to him, shortly after they came upon it, the
Speaker 1: light began to retreat from them. Once the lights began
Speaker 1: moving again, their accounts basically line up. Here's another passage
Speaker 1: from Burrows's written account, read by an actor. Whatever it was.
Speaker 1: After a minute or two, we got up and moved
Speaker 1: into the trees, and the lights moved out into the
Speaker 1: open field. Burrows handwrote his statement describing the events of
Speaker 1: this night. Peniston's account was typed. Strangely, Peniston says that
Speaker 1: he didn't even write the statement himself. He says that
Speaker 1: he reported to Central Security Control after the event and
Speaker 1: was handed a typed sheet. It was the official story.
Speaker 1: He says he was told that this was his account.
Speaker 1: He gave it a quick read, so I read through it.
Speaker 1: Times are right, the information is right. I gave it
Speaker 1: back to him. Peniston says the document was created based
Speaker 1: on his radio transmissions during the incident. Apparently, even though
Speaker 1: he was unable to receive transmissions at the time, his
Speaker 1: words got back to base. Here from his typed statement,
Speaker 1: he describes the craft leaving the forest. It was definitely
Speaker 1: mechanical in nature. This is the closest point that I
Speaker 1: was near the object at any point. We then proceeded
Speaker 1: after it. It moved in a zig zagging manner back
Speaker 1: through the woods, then lost sight of it again. Peniston
Speaker 1: will have much more to say about this part of
Speaker 1: the encounter later in the season. It's important to note
Speaker 1: that Burrows says that he never actually saw a physical craft.
Speaker 1: He just saw lights, though he doesn't discount the idea
Speaker 1: that an actual craft was the source. At that point
Speaker 1: in time, I was pretty much trying to regain some
Speaker 1: sense of what was going on, and the airman was
Speaker 1: twenty ft back to my right. It was beside me
Speaker 1: at this point, and he's all excited. He's talking about
Speaker 1: John Burrows. He says that he sees a craft, which
Speaker 1: was impossible to see any craft at that point because
Speaker 1: the woods so thick, and he took off, and so
Speaker 1: I immediately started following because we had, you know, we
Speaker 1: have to maintain a team concept, which was pretty hard
Speaker 1: to do. The lights are you know, you could maybe
Speaker 1: say object or whatever because the lights. But know, as
Speaker 1: far as the craft, he called it a craft. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it wasn't. I'm just saying that's what what
Speaker 1: I'm calling. I have no idea what it was. What
Speaker 1: we did then was we got up and we could
Speaker 1: see it. We were at the edge of the forest
Speaker 1: before a field started a farmer's field. Then there were
Speaker 1: some cottages farther down into the field. So we saw
Speaker 1: something strange down by one of the houses of cottages
Speaker 1: and we climbed over the fence, went through the field
Speaker 1: and whatever it was was gone again. He was off
Speaker 1: with a good pace and we maybe went maybe fifty
Speaker 1: sixty yards. I had to jump to fences, one barbed
Speaker 1: wa We got to a farmer's field and chasing him
Speaker 1: and I fall down two or three times in the
Speaker 1: middle of this farmer's field. I was wet, I was cold,
Speaker 1: I was exhausted. It was the beginning of winter. A
Speaker 1: layer of ice had formed over the field. Penniston got
Speaker 1: past the farmers houses and caught up with Burrows, who
Speaker 1: was watching the sky. Penniston asked bros. What he was chasing.
Speaker 1: Burrows said he was chasing the UFO. Said where's that?
Speaker 1: I couldn't gain a visual of it. And finally he
Speaker 1: put his arm out and he said, look down on
Speaker 1: my arm, he points in the opposite direction that we're
Speaker 1: running in towards the coast. This is where is I
Speaker 1: don't see it. You see, it's right there, right there
Speaker 1: on the horizon. There that's the Orfordness lighthouse. That's five
Speaker 1: miles away. That's not what we've seen. Then when I
Speaker 1: turned back around, the craft was sitting above the tree
Speaker 1: line over by Capel Green, which is more forest, and
Speaker 1: and then it just started moving out towards the sea
Speaker 1: at a sore of rate. I don't know. I can
Speaker 1: guess the mate see me before, but you can at
Speaker 1: least see it transverse the sky. Immediately after I lost
Speaker 1: contact with that sighting of that, my radio was working.
Speaker 1: I told him that I can receive him well, and
Speaker 1: he says, go ahead and proceed to the east gate.
Speaker 1: And that's what we did. Peniston's detailed description of this
Speaker 1: conversation with Burrows about where the lighthouse was and where
Speaker 1: the UFO was becomes important. Burrows it should be noted
Speaker 1: mentioned in his written account that they actually saw that
Speaker 1: the light they were chasing was coming from a lighthouse.
Speaker 1: Both men mentioned seeing a blue light what Peniston just
Speaker 1: referred to as the craft. Burrows wrote, we had just
Speaker 1: passed a cree and we're told to come back when
Speaker 1: we saw a blue light to our left in the trees.
Speaker 1: It was only there for a minute and just streaked away.
Speaker 1: The typed account approved by Peniston merely said, on the
Speaker 1: way back, we encountered a blue streaking light to the left,
Speaker 1: only lasting a few seconds. That was the end of
Speaker 1: the encounter. On the first night. With the lights gone,
Speaker 1: the three men returned to the jeep and drove back
Speaker 1: to the base. It's kind of vague because I don't well.
Speaker 1: I basically just remember as we came back, there were
Speaker 1: some people waiting for us. I don't remember what we
Speaker 1: said at the time, but there was kind of a conversation.
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it. Said. He talked to
Speaker 1: us about what went on, told us about the radar
Speaker 1: contact and all that other stuff. Peniston meanwhile reported to
Speaker 1: Central Security Control and I go with the security guys.
Speaker 1: Arrived back at Central Security Control and started channel the
Speaker 1: sergeant from Bett Horns is waiting for me. He says,
Speaker 1: how you doing this? Is? You ain't gonna believe all
Speaker 1: this early happened? He says, oh, yes, said I was
Speaker 1: at the east Gate. He say, I've seen it all.
Speaker 1: I says, wow. I said, I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: He was just about as perplexed as I was. He says, well,
Speaker 1: when you've done turning in your weapon and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: the flight captain who wants to see it in this office,
Speaker 1: that's okay. Before meeting with the captain, Peniston was shown
Speaker 1: the pre type statement about the incident and approved it.
Speaker 1: I go back out to see Captain Vernal and Burrows
Speaker 1: is standing as you've come with me. I just don't
Speaker 1: say anything. I'll report in for us. And I knew
Speaker 1: that I had to keep it simple with There's certain
Speaker 1: things you at the time that you would never say
Speaker 1: in the Air Force. Be could be an end of
Speaker 1: your career. And one of those terms is UFO. You
Speaker 1: don't use that. So I came up with a term
Speaker 1: that would best describe it, you know, without lyne. I
Speaker 1: called it the craft unknown origin. Captain Moronald, how, I
Speaker 1: don't think we report this, he says, uh, you know
Speaker 1: blue Book, And in sixty nine he says, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's a way to report it. The captain was
Speaker 1: referring to Project Blue Buck, the last of three Air
Speaker 1: Force programs investigating UFO reports. The first projects signed began
Speaker 1: in nine. In nineteen sixty nine, the Air Force officially
Speaker 1: closed the program. From that point on, air Force policy
Speaker 1: was to no longer take UFO reports. People who called
Speaker 1: in with sightings were referred to local law enforcement. Because
Speaker 1: of this policy, it wasn't clear what to do with
Speaker 1: the reports of the events of that night. The captain
Speaker 1: was stunned. He said, I'll tell you what to do.
Speaker 1: He says, just go home. He says, take three days
Speaker 1: off and let me handle it. I said, okay, and
Speaker 1: that's what I did. So I got back in the vehicle,
Speaker 1: and at that time I was going to give Burrows
Speaker 1: right home. And we lived down in ipswich As about
Speaker 1: twenty miles away. Burles says, we gotta go back out there,
Speaker 1: and said, oh no, I said no, we should look
Speaker 1: at it in the daylight. And he says, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: He's pretty adamant about it, but you know what it
Speaker 1: made sense, well back out there, private owned vehicle and
Speaker 1: walk back through the woods and we're looking at you know,
Speaker 1: the area we're at, and burrows fine cy landing site,
Speaker 1: take off site. He's over here over here, and I
Speaker 1: go over and looking there's three intentions in the ground
Speaker 1: that really really craft was the sitting. I said, we
Speaker 1: would be a better just get out of here. You know,
Speaker 1: that's enough. That's at all I wanted to see. As
Speaker 1: they walked back towards Penistin's vehicle, they ran into a
Speaker 1: group of superior officers, including a Major Drury, who were
Speaker 1: walking towards what Peniston calls the landing site. Major Dury says,
Speaker 1: what are you doing out here? And so we just
Speaker 1: wanted to look at this in the light, and he said,
Speaker 1: you guys need to go home. We're going to handle it.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, no problems, sir. So that's what we did.
Speaker 1: And at that point then that was the end for me.
Speaker 1: At night one, you know, I went home and I
Speaker 1: went to bed. Penistin, though was unable to sleep. He
Speaker 1: asked his landlord, who was apparently a contractor who did
Speaker 1: painting and light repair work on houses for some plaster
Speaker 1: of Paris got all pre mixed and stuff like that. Bags,
Speaker 1: got my backpack, went back out there. I didn't run
Speaker 1: anybody going out there. They were all gone. I took
Speaker 1: impressions with the plaster of Paris of the ground landing
Speaker 1: cod area waited out there at the time. I smoked.
Speaker 1: I think it took three cigarettes. I waited for it
Speaker 1: to dry. When the casts were dry, he packed them
Speaker 1: into his backpack and left the site. On his way
Speaker 1: back to where he had parked, he once again ran
Speaker 1: into Major Drury, this time accompanied by a half dozen cops.
Speaker 1: This was not a great situation for Peniston, since he
Speaker 1: had been ordered home previously. He said, I thought I
Speaker 1: told you to go home. I said, I was. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to check it out. Against you go home,
Speaker 1: he says. That's the order. He says, I once you realized.
Speaker 1: Peniston went home with his Plaster of Paris casts and
Speaker 1: finally got some sleep. The first encounter was finally over.
Speaker 1: There was no way he could know that the sightings
Speaker 1: had just begun next time on Strange Arrivals. Strange Arrivals
