Summary
A report from the Bentilee housing estate in Stoke-on-Trent regarding sightings of UFOs.
Description
General views of Bentilee housing estate. Reporter Gwyn Richards describes the events that took place there on the night of 2nd September 1967. We then see interviews with Mrs Bowen, a local resident, and a policeman who describe what they experienced. Mrs Bowen’s son, Malcolm, is also interviewed, as is another boy. Gwyn Richards then visits two unidentified interviewees and talks to them about UFO sightings. One of the interviewees tells him that he knows of a plane that was sent up to take photographs of UFOs. However, when it came down the Air Force denied that it had ever gone up in the first place. We see Gwyn Richards visit a public telephone box and telephone Manchester Airport to ask to speak to the air traffic control manager.
