Accounts of the mysterious aerial sights and sounds reported frequently in
Warminster, England. Author speculates that the dull, crunching noise
arises out of an electromagnetic interaction between a low-flying UFO and
the ground (espec!ally when there are deposits of ferromagnetic material).
He suggests that the "humming" sound might come from altitude-finding
de\•iccs on the UFOs.
