Zigmund Adamski, a Polish immigrant miner, left his house in
Tingley, England, heading to the corner shop to buy some
potatoes. He would go missing for five days and turn up
dead on a pile of coal over 25 miles away to the west in the
village of Todmorden on June 11, 1980. Police Constable
Alan Godfrey was called to investigate and found puzzling clues
at the scene. No signs of foul play were detected on the
body, with the only wounds being burn marks on the top of the
head and a weeping wound at the base of the neck where it
appeared a green salve had been applied. Adamski’s dress
shirt was missing, but in its place was a mesh undershirt he
wasn’t wearing when he left. Not only did he appear
awkwardly redressed, but he seemed to have been given a crude
haircut and a recent shave. There were no signs of any
disturbance in the coal pile from Adamski having crawled up it
nor anyone having dragged him atop it in broad daylight at an
active workplace. Yet the most baffling clue may be that
the coroner and toxicologists never identified what the green
ointment was. Most disturbing was that Adamski was found
with eyes wide open, looking as though he died of sheer
terror. That may have been the end to an open and
not-so-shut case, except for what happened to PC Godfrey five
months later. Around 5:00 a.m. on a wet November morning in
Todmorden, Alan Godfrey was on patrol looking for stolen
motorbikes when a bright, diamond-shaped object blocked the
road. Hovering about five feet off the pavement with its
bottom half spinning, the craft was 20 feet wide and 14 feet high
as Godfrey stopped to sketch it. The next thing he knew, he
was driving again, having gone past the craft with around 30
minutes of missing time. While initially encouraged by his
superiors to be publicly interviewed about his encounter, he
would soon face ridicule from his peers and a determined effort
by police administrators to ruin his career. So, is there
an extraterrestrial connection between the mysterious death of
Zigmund Adamski and the close encounter of Alan Godfrey?
We’re fortunate to get some help with this investigation from
eminent and esteemed UFO researcher Philip Mantle, who grew up in
the Tingley area. Mr. Mantle lays out the case that while
one event may have a weird yet commonplace explanation, the
seemingly connected occurrence may still be out of this
world. As we’ve always thought, the ordinary and the
extraordinary are not mutually exclusive and are often found
together.
