Queen Sent Advisors To Report On Crop Circles And Was Fascinated By ‘British Roswell’
A documentary about the Royal Family and their secret passion for UFOs and the paranormal is out now on Amazon Prime – free to watch for Prime members.
The film is called The King Of UFOs and it explores the Royal family’s interest in UFOs and the paranormal.
Writer and director Mark Christopher Lee recounts a story that in the late 1980’s the late Queen would dispatch here own scientific advisors in the middle of the night to investigate the latest crop circle formation.
At one such occurrence the crop circle researcher Colin Andrews was with a Japanese film crew in Wiltshire and got word that the Queen was interested in what was happening. A couple of hours later he saw a Rolls Royce turn up and half expected her majesty to get out of the car, only to find out it was her chief scientific advisor!
Also in the film retired CID detective John Hanson recounts how the Queen and Prince Philip both had a passionate interest in the Rendelsham Ufo case from 1980 – which has been dubbed the British Roswell. Allegedly a UFO landed in the forest at Rendelsham over Christmas weekend in 1980. Airforce personnel from nearby RAF Bentwaters, which was a US NATO base at the time, went to investigate and saw strange orbs and beams of light shining through the forest.
Hanson tells in the film how he corresponded with them regarding this case and they particularly liked his books that he’d written on Rendelsham with Colonel Halt who was Deputy Commander of the base at the time of the incident. Halt had taken his dictaphone with him when investigating the lights and recorded what he saw.
He is still convinced that something out of the ordinary happened that weekend. The letters from the Queen and Prince Philip to Hanson are featured in the film and show that they had their own library of UFO and paranormal books!
Mark Christopher Lee the director of the film states:
“What I wanted to show in this film is how passionate and serious the senior royals were on the subject of UFOs. They had to keep this mostly a secret because of possible ridicule but if such high standing, balanced people, took them seriously why can’t we? There is something that pilots and police officers are seeing in the skies that can’t be explained so why can’t the British government take them seriously?”
The film also looks at the testimony an evidence from former Naval diver Dan Costello who claims in 1975 to have seen Prince Charles fly a UFO craft in Nova Scotia! Costello claims in the film that Charles was one of 3 pilots in a dome shaped craft that had a strange electro magnetic propulsion powering it and had a trailing blue ionic flame.
Film-maker Mark Christopher Lee:
“Costello’s testimony is fantastical but we have verified a lot of the information and evidence that he provided and I have also written to King Charles to verify the version of events. If they are true then we have to question what sort of technology was this and why was Charles flying it?”
Former Ministry Of Defence officer Nick Pope looks at the role that King Charles would play if we had first contact.
“He would have an important role to play as head of state and head of the Anglican Church. People will look to him to provide a lead in how we react and deal with being visited by extra terrestrials.”
