GOVERNMENT officials are staying tight-lipped over claims that RAF Fylingdales on the North York Moors has kept the body of a big cat in a top security vault following Britain’s “Roswell moment”.
According to a national newspaper, a new book claims defence chiefs are trying to cover up the existence of big cats stalking the countryside, and claims retired staff from Fylingdales have apparently talked about the body of a Puma-type animal being seen on a table at the base.
A witness outside the base, situated between Whitby and Pickering, is also said to have seen a puma-like creature being trundled off in the scoop arms of a tractor.
Rick Minter, author of Big Cats: Facing Britain’s Wild Predators, claimed Fylingdales had experienced “Britain’s Roswell moment on big cats” – a reference to the US Government’s alleged cover-up of an alien in Roswell, New Mexico.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman declined to comment on the reports, while a Defra spokeswoman said evidence of big cats across the country was ‘unsubstantiated”.
To add my uncle worked at the base as a radar tech from the 70's/80's
I shall try to get some info but he is tight lipped about his time there.
