A documentary about the royal family and their secret passion for UFOs and the paranormal is now available on Amazon Prime – free to watch for Prime members.
Writer and director Mark Christopher Lee tells a story that the late Queen would send her own scientific advisors here in the middle of the night in the late 1980s to investigate the latest crop circle formation. At one such event, crop circle researcher Colin Andrews was in Wiltshire with a Japanese film crew and was told that the Queen was interested in what was happening. A few hours later he saw a Rolls Royce approaching and half expected Her Majesty to get out of the car, only to find out it was her chief scientific advisor!
Also in the film, retired CID detective John Hanson explains how the The Queen and Prince Philip both had a passionate interest in the 1980 Rendelsham UFO case – which has been dubbed Britain’s Roswell. A UFO reportedly landed in the woods near Rendelsham during the Christmas weekend of 1980. Air Force personnel from nearby RAF Bentwaters, then a US NATO base, went to investigate and saw strange orbs and beams of light shining through the forest.
Hanson tells in the film how he corresponded with them about the case and they were particularly fond of his books he had written about Rendelsham with Colonel Halt, who was deputy commander of the base at the time of the incident. Halt had brought his dictaphone with him when he examined the lights and recorded what he saw. He is still convinced that something special happened that weekend. The Queen and Prince Philip’s letters to Hanson appear in the film and reveal that they had their own library of UFO and paranormal books!
Mark Christopher Lee, the film’s director, says:
“What I wanted to show in this film is how passionate and serious the senior royals were about the subject of UFOs. They had to keep this largely a secret due to potential ridicule, but if such high-minded, well-balanced people took them seriously, why can’t we? There is something that pilots and police officers see in the sky that cannot be explained, so why can’t the British government take them seriously?”
The film also looks at the testimony and evidence of former Navy diver Dan Costello, who claims he saw Prince Charles piloting a UFO craft in Nova Scotia in 1975! Costello claims in the film that Charles was one of three pilots in a domed craft that had strange electromagnetic propulsion and a pendant blue ionic flame.
Filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee:
“Costello’s testimony is fantastic, but we have verified much of the information and evidence he provided and I have also written to King Charles to verify the version of events. If they are true, we have to wonder what kind of technology this was and why Charles flew it?
Former Ministry of Defense officer Nick Pope looks at the role King Charles would play if we made first contact.
“He would play an important role as head of state and head of the Anglican Church. People will look to him to lead how we respond and deal with alien visits.”
