I have been involved with the Warminster enigma for over 30 years, and was a stalwart of the 70s skywatching crowd. I met Steve Dewey way back in October 1976, on a fog shrouded Cradle Hill. I was even then, impressed by his knowledge of the phenomenon. It came as no surprise when I realised that Steve had written a book about the subject, although nearly 30 years late!
Steve and John approach the mystery from a social/cultural/historical view - and uncover a wealth of information. The book is, by it's nature, a skeptical one. But, from one who has also written a book on Warminster, although from the other side of the fence, Steve and John should be applauded for their work.
For anyone who remembers those halycon days, or has an interest in British Ufology, I can whole-heartedly recommend this book.
Thanks to this book, I contacted Steve Dewey, and because of our mutual interest in the Warminster Mystery, Steve and I now run a website, ufo-warminster, which, we hope, over time will chronicle the enigma that appeared to haunt this quiet Wiltshire town in the 1960s and 1970s.
