The Ilkley Moor UFO

After his retirement in 1987, Philip Spencer moved from London to Ilkley Moor, UK. While photographing his new surroundings, he snapped the above photograph of a four foot tall green creature. Under hypnosis, Spencer told a fascinating tale of his being brought aboard an alien spacecraft, interrogated and eventually released.

Experts from all phases of this investigation concluded that his accounts appeared to be credible. The photo itself was deemed authentic by experts who stated that it could not have been doctored up or super-imposed.

Truth or fiction?  What do YOU think?

The Mayflower II

The Mayflower II, a replica of the original 17th century sailing vessel that carried the pilgrims to our shores in 1620, is pictured in 1957. Built in Devon, England between 1955 and 1956, the project was financed by private donations from England and the Plimoth Plantation Museum. The Mayflower II is a symbol of friendship between the United Kingdom and the United States for collaboration in World War II.

Eleanor Rigby

In the 1980's, Eleanor Rigby's headstone (pictured above in 2008),  was discovered in a graveyard near St. Peter's Parish Church in the Woolton suburb of Liverpool, England.  A few hundred yards nearby, another marker with the name McKenzie scrawled on it was discovered. The Beatles' Paul McCartney denies that the grave marker was ever an influence in the Beatles song 'Eleanor Rigby'. McCartney and John Lennon were known to sunbathe in the graveyard as teenagers. 

The School Bus

The first school bus was horse drawn and was introduced in 1827 by George Shillibeer in London, England. A 1912 Studebaker School Bus is shown in the above commercial photo published circa 1912.
