Hi everyone,
Lucky me has this week off, and today I thought it would be nice to visit my Mum in a little village just outside Ipswich, Suffolk.
I wanted to go into Ipswich as I have never explored the place and I particularly wanted to check out the guitar stores there. Found some great stuff btw but I digress.
The most interesting part to our day was had in the third guitar shop. I was just browsing when the guy at the till asked if he could be of any help. No, I said just browsing but we kept chatting and it turned out that he knows an old mate of mine who I was in a band with about fifteen years ago so I stuck around for a while.
My Mum was sitting there listening and at one point she said she didn't know of this shop and how long had they been open. The guy told us they had only been there a couple of months but he had another shop over in Woodbridge at which point Mum says something like "So what do you know about the Rendlesham incident?"
Just as she said this the phone rang and he answered it but a lady who had been sitting in front of the till the whole time responded by saying, "Haven't you heard, they have found out what it was".
She then went into the whole recent story of the farmer who torched a load of fertilizer that was in the news recently. I told her that I dont believe that that was what this whole case boiled down to and that she should listen to what guys like Larry Warren and Peter Robbins have to say and so on.
This conversation wasn't heated in any way I just felt like trying to switch her onto some of the more interesting data. She surprised me then by telling me that she actually worked at the base at the time of the incident and that while the soldiers were out in the woods no one was allowed off base, and a whole lot of other trivial stuff that ultimately left me in no doubt that she was telling the truth. It also turned out that she is in fact the mother of the store owner. So by this time Mum and I were both very intrigued and kept talking so much we missed our bus.
Now this lady struck me as a very down to earth woman with no particular interest in the paranormal or UFO's in particular, so I then went into the whole spiel about how we dont know the actual origin of these
visitors and that we shouldn't jump to conclusions like the whole ET thing.
Her response was "Ooh I know, perhaps they come from down below us and not from above". I was quite surprised by this reaction and quizzed her as to why she said that, whereupon she told me the story of "The Green children of Woolpit", a village not too far from there.
So here is a link to explain what that was all about,

I will leave it there as my dinner is ready and I have probably been far too long winded already. I would like to hear/read your thoughts though.
Peace,
Mark
