Basingstoke Canal Abduction 1983
On the 12th August 1983, Albert Burtoo, aged 77 at the time, had settled for a nights fishing on Basingstoke Canal, Aldershot, Hampshire, when he At about 1.00pm he noticed a bright light, which he took to be an army Helicopter from the nearby base. He claimed object landed on the towpath of the canal some distance from him, and minutes later he noticed two beings about 4.5 feet tall wearing overalls with visors covering their faces. They motioned to him as though he was to follow them, which he did. They led him to a rounded object that jutted out over the canal from the towpath, and they all climbed inside.

They asked Albert his age and asked him to stand under an amber light, after a short time he was told that he could leave the object being too old and infirm for their purposes. He returned to his place by the canal and watched as a light rose in the sky and flew away. Albert died in 1985 but never changed the story of his abduction. There were no independent witnesses to the event, and there could be various explanations.

The Abduction Story was released to the public in 1986.

Winchester UFO 1976
On 14th November 1976 about 9.00pm near Winchester, Hampshire, Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt were driving down the A272 when the car started to jolt and shake, and then veered off the road into a grass verge by the roadside. The car was subject to electrical interference as the engine roared, and the lights seemed to be shine brighter than normal. They spotted what appeared to be a cigar shaped craft with three entities behind a window in the object.

This encounter had not been proven by the AoA, and instead was believed to have been a technical fault, and a sheer coincidence that a craft was overhead at the time.
