Sometimes dubbed “Britain’s Roswell”, it sparked worldwide interest and for years researchers, authors and television producers have tried to get to the bottom of what happened. Now however someone has come forward claiming to hold the key to the mystery. Peter Turtill, 66, from Ipswich, said the “UFO” was actually a truck full of burning fertiliser which he had set alight.

His claim was met with immediate scorn by researchers. Brenda Butler, a UFO investigator, said: “I don’t get what he is saying. There have been so many witnesses who have come forward.
“He would have to come up with an awful lot of proof to call them liars. Why has he waited 29 years to come forward?”

The IRA were using non fire suppressed fertiliser in bombs through out the 60/70/80s
