Episode Description
Have you ever felt an invisible force pin you to the ground while the air around you began to vibrate?
In this episode of Wyrd Wessex, Craig and Andy head back to Christmas 1964 to investigate the birth of the UK’s most prolific UFO hotspot. What started as a terrifying "sonic vibration" that shook the town of Warminster soon escalated into a decade-long saga of "flying trains," orange orbs, and silent figures in skin-tight black suits.
We trace the journey of local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood as he documents the "Warminster Thing"—from the very first Wiltshire crop circles to mysterious messages from the planet Aenstria. Was it a visitation from the stars, or were the people of Wiltshire unwitting subjects in a high-frequency military experiment?
In this episode, we discuss:
The 1964 Christmas Vibration: The terrifying "sonic siege" that left witnesses "jelly-legged" and rattled roofs without a scratch.
The Biological Aftermath: Why were burnt dormice and terrified animals found in the wake of the "Thing"?
Roadside Phantoms: Annabelle’s encounter with "wet-suited" figures and the bleeding man of Battlesbury Hill.
The Phantom Range Rover: Ian Hann’s high-speed chase with a silent, wheelless vehicle that vanished into yellow smoke.
Sonic Warfare & Directed Energy: Comparing 1960s Wiltshire to modern "Havana Syndrome" and infrasound experiments.
Whether it's a "flying harp" over the downs or a cigar-shaped mothership at Cradle Hill, the Warminster Mystery remains the crown jewel of British UFO lore.
Join us for a deep dive into the heart of the Wyrd.
Stay Wyrd!
