PRE POLICE SIGHTINGS

CHILDHOOD SIGHTING OF TRIANGULAR OBJECT

POTTERS BAR, HERTFORDSHIRE

1961

On a summers evening in 1961 RICHARD LENNY was 10 years old when along with his parents and his younger brother, STEVE (7) and his sister HAZEL (12) they observed a triangular UFO in the skies above their home on Baker Street, Potters Bar, Herts.

It was around 7/8 pm on a fine clear night in summer. I remember we laid on our backs in the in garden and watched this object for about an hour.

It was a silver coloured triangle that was stationary in the sky above our house. There was no cloud or stars in view, just a clear blue sky.

At one point as we watched it the triangle rotated on its axis one complete turn. After an hour the UFO shot off at a tremendous speed from a stationary position out of view.

I have never seen anything like it before or since.

I have been a Police Constable with the BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE since 1976.

My parents observed the object that I believe was reported to the Air Ministry.

Incidentally my mother went to the local library to find any books on UFOs but when she got there they had been suddenly withdrawn from use.
