encountered a fleet of
flying saucers that he said had an "astonishing effect" on him.
...
"On the evening of Sunday 9 March, he and a friend witnessed a fleet of flying
saucers traveling across the sky in a hexagonal formation.
The
sighting lasted almost a full 10 minutes and rendered him
absolutely speechless. 'The whole thing had an astonishing effect on me'
he
told friends.
For days
afterward he felt inexplicably strange whenever he recalled the incident.
The eerie encounter left him firmly
convinced
that the
government was covering
up the truth about UFOs.
...
Now, he was the living proof that aliens scoured the Earth."

"On trips to London, Morrissey would visit Maker; on one occasion the pair
were insistent that they saw
'flying
saucers hover low
and
slow over Bermondsey,'
only
about three hundred feet in front of them, and they reported the sighting to the
UFO Society.
...
'At
one point I stood on the balcony and stared directly into one hovering ship, and
it STOPPED in mid-air above me,'
Morrissey
wrote
to his friend Lindsay Hutton. 'Without a doubt, it was watching me!' "

animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. On
March 22, 1980, PETA was founded."
