For decades, the phenomena of cattle mutilation has been reported worldwide, with plenty of forensic evidence left behind to be examined. However, eyewitness accounts have been vague and ambiguous at best, with little credible testimony available of the process in motion. It would not be until 2009 that the world would get to see a live action video of a buffalo abduction by a UFO and the eerie events that would follow.

Derek Bridges, a 69 year old grandfather from Basingstoke, Hampshire, was about to retire for the evening at 10:30pm on a clear and calm night in the English countryside. As usual, he took a quick peak out the window before bed, and was astounded to see a set of twin glowing lights hovering over the Laverstoke Park Farm area, a 2500 acre grassy area teeming with wildlife. Mesmerized by the orange glowing lights, Bridges watched the hovering craft as it remained motionless in the sky. The strange occurrence lingered for 20 minutes, and Bridges knew he had but little time to act.

The quick thinking Bridges knew he was witnessing a possible UFO sighting, and ran for his video camera to record the phenomena. Suddenly, a large creature, describable as bovine or equine in nature, was lifted from the farmland and slowly hoisted through the air towards the bottom of the unidentified aircraft. There were no sounds as the animal hovered over the ground below, not much struggle, and no evidence that the creature was harmed.

The telling video is under investigation by UFO hunters based in Scarborough and the incident has been reported to British officials. However, Intelligence and military investigation are routinely kept classified for security reasons, and offer little hope of explanation revealed to the public.

The video tape reveals the abduction process with graphic detail and one can not help but to wonder if the incident was benevolent in nature. Watch the clip closely to see the great care that was given in the lifting of the animal. There were no sudden, jarring movements, but rather, a slow and deliberate attempt to keep the animal calm and stable during the process. It is well documented that not all animal abductions result in the death of the creatures, as many of them are examined and returned to the pastures unharmed.

UFO experts have examined this remarkable footage and declared unanimously that the images are real and unadulterated in any way. Kenneth Parsons, of the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society, concurs with a team of other experts, to include Nick Pope, the former head of the British Government’s UFO Project, that the video is credible and fully authentic. Pope commented, ” If this footage is genuine, it could be highly significant, and we are very exited”.

Strange phenomena in the skies near the Basingstoke area has been duly reported in recent years from credible eyewitnesses observing aerial activity over the region. A multitude of families have reported seeing a fleet of glowing lights in the sky, seeming to fly in a regimented formation and changing the configuration of their flight path with precision and purpose. In all cases, the aircraft displayed the same orange colored illumination seen on the Derek Bridges video tape.

In addition, a trucker reported seeing alien beings wandering about the nearby region. And this should come as no surprise, as is the case with international sightings, there seems to be concentrated UFO activity within certain regions, and the UK is no exception. Today, with a vigilant public armed with sophisticated camera equipment, we may expect to see more visual images captured. However, for now, the Derek Bridges video tape is the most conclusive and powerful piece of evidence on record.
