Their attention was considerably aroused by the appearance of a black, headless entity with wings like a bat and webbed feet. The figure came towards them and the couples fled. It is not known whether the names of the witnesses were ever revealed to investigators. 24th May 1964, Cumbria, England Jim Templeton, (then 44) on an outing with his wife and two daughters, took a picture of his daughter holding a posy of wild flowers near a stretch of marshland by the Solway Firth. When this was developed it showed what appeared to be a white-suited entity wearing a black visor standing behind his daughter in a strange perspective. No rational explanation for this image has been forthcoming. 10 August 1965, Warminster, Wiltshire, England In one of the first recorded instances of the Warminster UFO flap, Terry Pell was driving a delivery truck to Copheap Lane. As he was coming to a bend in the road a crimson ball of light flew out from the side of a hill, hovered for a short time and then flew straight at him. He described the object as resembling a human eye. He braked sharply and his truck left the road, ending up in a ditch. He was not alone at the time of the sighting as his wife and his daughter were asleep in the back of the truck. 29th August 1965 Warminster, Wiltshire, England Gordon Faulkner, (then 17) photographed a UFO from the town centre that was subsequently published by the popular press. This generated the huge amount of interest in UFO sightings over Warminster skies, culminating in huge organised sky watches from nearby Cley Hill. Later in 1994, Richard Hooton said that he and Faulkner had hoaxed the photo by using a cotton reel and a button. Gordon Faulkner denied the claim saying that he didn't even know a Richard Hooton.
