Alan Godrey and Zigmund Adamski - Part One

Part one: In 1980, the small town of Todmorden, in the United Kingdom, was to be the centre of a mysterious event.

It would involve a police constable by the name of Alan Godfrey, who many ufologists regard as one of the first publicly known UFO abductees in Britain.

Thirty-five years ago the small town of Todmorden, in the United Kingdom, was to be the centre of an event, a case that today still is enmeshed in mystery. It would involve a young police constable by the name of Alan Godfrey, who many Ufologists regard as possibly one of the UK's first publicly known alien abductees. The year was 1980, and the Alan Godfrey saga would start in June of that year, when Godfrey was one of two officers linked with the discovery of a dead body some today maintain may have been dumped by extra-terrestrials, the man possibly being "scared to death" during or after an abduction event.

At the time the nation was gripped in fear and intrigue by "The Yorkshire Ripper", and the story of a young Yorkshire police officer who would claim after an event in November 1980, that he was abducted by aliens, would take over newspaper headlines from the serial killer before he was captured. It would also come after a period of 18 months of the U.K. being plagued by UFO sightings. The story is given credence by the fact that multiple police officers were to report at around 5am, on the morning of November 28th, a fast-moving, "pulsating" steel-blue object being seen hovering or moving around in the sky in an area covering at least 30 miles.

It was roughly 15 minutes later that PC Alan Godfrey, while investigating claims of cows appearing on a local council estate, would encounter the unknown, as an object he at first thought was a double decker bus appeared in front of his car while driving down Burnley Rd. Getting within twenty yards of it, he realised it was hovering five feet in the air, shaped like a diamond. The bottom half seemed to be rotating, causing, he believed, the shaking of nearby trees which he observed. The area seemed eerily silent however - the object emitting no noise.

Attempting to call for backup, he found his own personal radio and the car radio were "completely dead". He made a sketch of the object in his notepad, and then realised he had "jumped in time", finding himself driving again but appeared to be further down the road some yards away from where the object, now gone, had appeared. He returned to the police station and with another officer, returned to the area and found the missing cows, who were in an area that would have been hard for them to be, for they were in a fenced property with a locked gate. He remembered thinking they may have been "dropped" there, perhaps by the hovering craft.

He recalled, in an agitated state, to fellow officers, what he had encountered when he returned to the police station, and as he finished up his shift, found he had roughly nearly fifty minutes of "lost time", as well as his left boot appearing to have been horizontally split open at its sole. A strange red mark that was itchy on the bottom of his left foot appeared soon after, circular in appearance and he learnt the next evening that 5 other officers had reported UFO encounters as well on the previous night.

The story was leaked to the Press soon after, and Godfrey would maintain in interviews afterwards that, due to his notoriety, he was forced to resign from his position by the Police Department - being subjected to ridicule and jokes with the last straw being his car being replaced with an bicycle. He had worked as an officer for six years before the incident, lived a normal life as a married man and had two children.

An incident in late 1977, in which he had been severely wounded by three men who had resisted arrest, had resulted in him losing a testicle and being told by doctors he was sterile and would never be able to father children again. It is said that one night, sometime after the UFO encounter, that a strange noise awoke Godfrey's wife outside their house and although she tried, she could not awaken her husband. They apparently had sex the next day, and Mrs Godfrey fell pregnant. Doctors soon told the couple his condition had "reversed" itself, and Alan Godfrey has maintained to this day apparently his abduction experience, and the "beings" behind it, were the cause of his medical miracle.

Godfrey was soon after convinced by a colleague and UFO researchers to under-go regression hypnosis to recover the "missing time" he had experienced. During a number of sessions it is claimed he recalled the UFO shutting his engine off and blinding him with a intensely bright light. Before losing consciousness, he remembered his radio emitting static. He is supposedly said to have recalled an encounter with a human looking man, dressed in "biblical" garb, who called himself Yosef and telepathically told Godfrey that they were well acquainted.

A large black dog was said to also be in the room, and "Yosef" seemed to be assisted by small robotic creatures who had heads shaped like lamps. He seemed to be in a room not unlike a normal sitting / lounge room in a small house. "Yosef" told Godfrey he would see him again, and then Godfrey found himself driving along Burnley Road.

To this day Godfrey apparently has no conscious memory of his abduction, and has stated publicly he has questioned what came out in his regression sessions, believing he may have recalled a mixture of dream, fantasy and fact.

In Part Two, we will look at an incident that many Ufologists believe may be connected to another alien abduction over the skies of Britain, one in which PC Alan Godfrey happened to be a part of a few months before his amazing encounter......

Part two: Zigmund Adamski was a 57 year-old Polish coal worker who, on the afternoon of June 6th, 1980, was seen leaving his home in the small borough of Tingley to buy some potatoes.

He disappeared soon after and when rediscovered a baffling mystery awaited investigators.

Zigmund Adamski.

In part one, you were introduced to Alan Godfrey, a former police officer who was thrust into the limelight when a front page article on one of the UK's major newspapers in 1981, reported his alleged encounter with a UFO in the town of Todmorden in November 1980. Alan Godfrey (allegedly) recalled during hypnotic regression sessions, meeting and being medically examined by extra-terrestrial beings during a period of "missing time", and the alleged miraculous healing of a major medical ailment that occurred afterwards. Godfrey has become somewhat of a celebrity within the British UFO community, as he is considered by many to be one of the first alien "abductees" in Britian.

However, an event that occurred in June 1980 was to pre-date Alan Godfrey's encounter, an event Godfrey is linked to as he was one of two police constables to investigate the case, a case that many regard as the first possible alien abduction in the United Kingdom, and possibly linked to why Alan Godfrey was to have his infamous experiences.

Zigmund Adamski was a 57 year-old Polish coal worker who, on the afternoon of June 6th, 1980, was seen leaving his home in the small borough of Tingley to buy some potatoes. He was to attend a family wedding the following day, however he disappeared soon after. His family were baffled, as he was well-liked and respected.

Reenactment of the discovery of Adamski.

On the following Wednesday, the 11th of June, a man was to discover in the late afternoon Adamski's corpse lying on top of a ten foot high pile of anthracite (black coal) in a coal yard next to a railway line in Todmorden, a mile away from the road Alan Godfrey was months later to see a diamond-shaped craft hovering in the middle of the road.

Within thirty minutes police officers Alan Godfrey and Malcolm Agley attended the scene and determined he had possibly died of a heart attack. However, the scene was presenting a number of questions. He was wearing clothes and shoes that appeared to be uneven and untied. The fly on his trousers was down, and he had strange burn marks on his neck and shoulders. He also seemed to have travelled some twenty to thirty miles from where he had last been seen near his home.

What was even stranger was the fact that there was no evidence of him having climbed the heap of coal, or anyone having dumped the body, as no footprints were found leading to and from the coal pile. It appeared he may have fallen, or been dropped, onto the heap, and stranger was the fact that the body was not there two hours previously, as a police officer had conducted a random patrol along the railway line. So how had Zigmund Adamski got to the top of the coal pile?

A post-mortem examination was conducted at the nearby town of Hebden Bridge that night and it was determined that he had died eight hours previous to being found of a heart attack that had been bought on by something that had terrified him, essentially "scaring him to death". As well as the strange burn marks, that were determined to have been there for at least 48 hours, a strange green ointment-like gel had been applied to the marks, and a forensic pathologist found he could not identify the substance as he took samples. It is said that this ointment, to this day, has not been identified.

Godfrey will maintain in interviews his belief that Zigmund Adamski was abducted by extra-terrestrials, possibly the same ones who were to take him months later, and that the abduction scenario took place, and possibly caused Adamski to have a heart attack while under examination, his body dumped due to his death on top of the coal pile hurriedly.

Many UFO researchers agree with this conclusion although researchers conducting an investigation in 2005 for BUFORA (British UFO Research Association) cited that Adamski's family believed he had been kidnapped by a family member and held captive in a shed, and had possibly been tortured. This has not stopped UFO advocates and researchers from calling Adamski "the first person to be killed by aliens in Britian."

Godfrey's investigation into Adamski's death was dropped late in 1980, and it is claimed Senior Police officials installed a clamp down on confidentiality - stopping police from speaking to the Media in regards to the case. All files regarding the investigation have not been made public, even though a number of MoD (Ministry of Defence) files regarding UFO reports were released by the National Archives in 2008. The fact that files regarding anything to do with Zigmund Adamski have not been made public have been asserted by many, including Godfrey, to be the result of a possible cover-up by the Government or Military of the UK.

The case of Zigmund Adamski and his disappearance remains a mystery - the case is unsolved to this day. Many UFO researchers believe the case is one of the world's strangest cases of possible alien abduction. It occurred during a "wave " of UFO related incidents that included the now infamous Rendlesham Forest Incident in December that year, and would make 1980 a year UFOlogists will consider a pivotal one in British UFO history.
