The late Queen dispatched her chief scientific advisor in the dead of night to investigate the latest crop circle formation, claims a new documentary.
Her Majesty is said to have sent a scientist to find out more about a new crop circle, widely said to be linked to UFOs, according to a new Prime Video film.
The King of UFOs, by UFO expert Mark Christopher Lee claims senior royals, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip and King Charles are passionately interested in the phenomenon.
And Lee recounts how, in the late 1980s, crop circle researcher Colin Andrews was with a Japanese film crew in Wiltshire when he got word that the Queen was interested in what was happening.
Just a couple of hours later Andrews saw a Rolls Royce turn up. Lee said Andrews half expected her Majesty to get out of the car, only to find out it was actually her chief scientific advisor.
Retired CID officer John Hanson, who is a UFO researcher and author said there was ‘undoubtedly’ a link between crop circles and UFOs.
He said: “Particularly the early crop circles were just circular, burnt formations in the grass or in the fields. I think they described them as UFO nests back in the olden days.
“I’ve spoken to witnesses who have more or less seen these things appear and then gone over and then ended up with some quite terrifying experiences.”
The doc also claims that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were hugely interested in the Rendlesham UFO case from 1980 – which has been dubbed the British Roswell.
The case allegedly saw a UFO land in the forest at Rendlesham over Christmas weekend in 1980. Numerous airforce personnel, from nearby RAF Bentwaters, which was a US NATO base at the time, went to investigate and saw strange orbs and beams of light shining through the forest.
The film also investigates wild claims that, the then, Prince Charles piloted an experimental UFO type craft in 1975, and explores what he can do now as King to aid UFO disclosure.
Lee said: “What I wanted to show in this film is how passionate and serious the senior royals were on the subject of UFOs. They had to keep this mostly a secret because of possible ridicule but if such high standing, balanced people, took them seriously why can’t we?
“There is something that pilots and police officers are seeing in the skies that can’t be explained so why can’t the British government take them seriously?”
He also said the King could put pressure on US President Joe Biden to ‘reveal the truth about UFOs”. He added: “Here is somebody who could pick up the phone and say look here what’s going on in the United States. He could ask for a full classified briefing.”
The film includes footage from John Hanson, taken in 2000, of the alleged UFO sighting Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk.
The ‘sighting’ became known as the British Roswell – in reference to the 1947 crash of a United States Army Air Forces balloon near Roswell, New Mexico which birthed a conspiracy theory that the crash was caused by an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Lee claims Prince Albert, consort to Queen Victoria, was the first member of the Royal Family to have a UFO experience in around 1875. Lee said: “He wrote an entry in his journal saying he saw strange, dazzling lights in the sky, like orbs flying past and he couldn’t describe them. It was powerful enough for him to make an entry in his diary and the basis of modern, royal UFOlogy.”
Lee said Lord Mountbatten, Prince Phillip’s uncle had a passion for UFO’s. Nick Pope, a retired member of the Ministry of Defence, also claims the Royals have been interested in UFO’s for decades.
He said: “But this was always a matter of extreme sensitivity because in some ways it was counter to the government’s public position on this. Or if not directly counter to it, certainly difficult to gel with it.
“Prince Phillip was very much at the forefront of Royal interest in this, though arguably he was introduced to that subject by Lord Mountbatten.”
The film also looks at the story that the the Prince Charles flew a prototype UFO in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1975. Lee said: “It probably wasn’t extra terrestrial, it was a saucer shaped craft. But the funny thing is it has some strange magnetic propulsion system which was unknown.”
The craft was said to have emitted a blue ionic flame and was controlled magnetically by a larger craft behind it.
But the film does acknowledge Prince William is not known to have had any UFO experiences.
Lee said: “Whoever is King is going to have an important role to play on the world stage with disclosure being imminent that we are not alone.”
