On the evening of 16th January 1998 the two occupants of a car
travelling along the M56 near to Runcorn, Cheshire, were startled by
a large dark triangular shape, which appeared to be tracking about
150 feet above their vehicle.
In the reflection from the motorway lights it was possible to make
out a central fan construction on the underside of the aircraft,
which itself only carried three small peripheral navigation lights.
The objects speed was about 50-70 mph.
A few nights later, on the 19th January 1998, police on Merseyside
received a number of calls about a strange disc like object which
was seen hovering over Liverpool. The craft seemed to have a soft
glow and gave the impression that it was slowly rotating. I received
two calls myself about the sighting, which seemed to be causing some
concern.
Looking out across the river Mersey I was able to determine that
what had caused the stir was infact the airship TV camera platform
covering Liverpool FC's home match!
Sitting barely into a thin cloud layer, at about 250 feet, the
airship did indeed give the impression of a rotating saucer and was a
good example of how easy it is to mistakingly identify unfamiliar
aircraft.

Abducted
The book that proves the truth is out there.
Jason Andrews looks like an ordinary 14 year old. His bright blue
eyes, fringed with dark eyelashes, are set in a round intelligent
face. He is average at school but gets bad marks for forgetting to
do homework.
He's cheeky when he can get away with it, terrific on the computer,
hangs out with his friends and thinks money grows on trees. A normal
boy - except that those blue eyes hide a terrible secret.
For Jason has been abducted by aliens.
Today, The Sun reveals his gripping story - the most extraordinary
tale of alien abduction ever.
In the past, such stories have often been dismissed as the fantasies
of cranks. But the mind blowing events you will read about, happened
to this very ordinary family from Kent.
They are not weirdo's. They are not fantasists. Jason's Mum Ann and
Dad Paul, both 41, run a 10-acre smallholding next to Ministry of
Defence training site near the village of Crouch. In the evenings
Paul drives a taxi to make ends meet.
Ann felt compelled to draw this image of an alien, right [typical
greys head], after her family's experiences. And now they have told
their incredible tale in a new book, Abducted. This week The Sun's
Mike Ridley adapts their story. Read it...then make up your mind.
The astonishing story of alien abduction in rural Britain.
Jason Andrews fell into a deep sleep on the sofa after his first
proper birthday party.
He was four years old, stuffed full of birthday cake and shattered
after running around the house with his friends.
Jason's Mum Ann, relieved everything had gone well, settled down for
a quiet cup of coffee with her husband Paul and her Mother Vi.
A loud banging at the door of their cottage in Slade Green, Kent,
interrupted their chat.
It was 10 o'clock at night, too late for casual callers. The noise
was urgent and insistent.
Louder than a fist, it was more like a heavy boot being thrust
against the door with huge force. Paul flung the heavy oak door wide.
The banging stopped the moment he touched the door. There was no one
there. He peered up and down the lane that led to the cottage. It
was empty.
As Paul stepped back into the living room there was a loud crack of
thunder. The storm woke seven year old Daniel, the older son, who
had been asleep in the bedroom. He climbed onto his Grandmothers lap.
Jason slept on.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightening, so fierce that even Paul,
a big, unflappable man, jumped. Jason sat bolt upright. His eyes
open, staring, but oblivious to the room and the people around him.
He started to talk, pouring out an incredible stream of numbers, as
if he'd hit the jackpot on some weird, mental fruit machine.
Fantastic numbers, huge numbers, strange algebraic configurations,
mathematical terms like 'pi' and 'binary codes', all spewed out of
the mouth of a boy - not yet at school - who normally struggled to
count to ten in his picture books. The loud banging at the door began
again. It seemed to come from the windows and the doors at the same
time.
The whole cottage seemed to shake. Paul grabbed the phone to dial
999 [UK emergency services]. Nothing happened. He had a dialling tone
but the numbers did not register.
Jason stopped talking. At exactly the same moment, the banging
ceased.
Then Jason slid from the settee and, still in a trance, started to
walk towards the door. Paul put his hands on his small son's
shoulders, gently restraining him. The child looked up at his Father
and replied in a strange emotionless voice: "They're waiting for me,
I have to go." As he spoke the knocking began again.
This time his Father grasped him firmly. Jason struggled and Paul,
in desperation, shook him violently to snap him out of it.
Jason fought harder. Then the banging receded, dying out completely
as Jason looked at Paul and asked innocently if he could watch TV.
Paul picked up the phone again and this time was able to get through
to the Police.
When two officers arrived he went through what had happened, without
mentioning Jason's part in it.
They went outside but could find no signs of damage.
All four members of the Andrews family claim to have had X Files
experiences.
