This is some extremely rare footage of a town hall meeting in the sleepy village of Warminster in the UK, just after the first of many strange and mass UFO sightings that became known globally as "The Thing".

Watching this video is astonishing really... the true and genuine fear caused to a small community of people pushed to the point of having a town hall meeting about the unexplained phenomenon. Much of the footage collected during this series of events (that lasted more than 10 years) was classified under the guise of national security by the Ministry of Defense (MOD) under the "Official Secrets Act" and sealed up and buried from the citizens or any public access.

The first sign of "The Thing" was during the Christmas of 1964, when residents heard a loud, unidentifiable whine. The strange sightings were reported in the Warminster Journal. In one year alone, more than 1,000 sightings of unidentified flying objects were recorded! They continued to be seen on a regular basis between 1965 and 1977.

In this video piece, watch how the cop draws the object that followed his police car on October 24th, 1967... astonishing.
