Warminster History
Warminster in Wiltshire was the centre of UK UFO research for almost 15 years, starting late in 1964 and finally petering out at the tail end of the 1970s.

Central to the phenomenon was local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood, who began reporting as a skeptic, but soon became a convert after seeing the enigma for himself.

The sheer volume of sightings in Warminster during this period can be attributed to not only Shuttlewood's florid and sensational writing style, but also due to the mass media coverage which encouraged the public to visit the town to see the "Thing" for themselves.

Although many sightings could be rationally explained away, there are core series of sightings which defy rational explanation. To this day, Warminster remains a mystery.
