AudioBlog: A UFO Falls to the Ground in Yorkshire, England

In 1957, the same year the Soviets launched Sputnik, British
authorities, media, and citizenry had their attention drawn back
down to Earth as they attempted to unravel the mystery of a flying
saucer said to have been found laying in a moor. It was dismantled,

space and its having been manufactured right here on Earth. Over

contents were found in the archives of the Science Museum in
London.The case was first reported in the December 9,

the March-April 1958 issue of Flying Saucer
Review.According to the Flying Saucer Review article
headlined “The Silpho Moor Mystery,” a man “who writes under the
pen name Antony Avendel” had examined an object discovered lying in
Silpho Moor near Scarborough. The object is described as being
shaped like a top, weighing 35 pounds, having a diameter of 18

double skin of 3/16” copper. A “burnt powdery substance” was found
inside along with a copper book rolled up and inserted into a coil
of copper tubing. The book was made of 17 copper sheets containing
over 2000 words “engraved in phonetic-type symbols.”Read
