On June 22nd, 1975 at 15:00 in Hill Lane, Southampton, Monty Warlock saw what "looked for all the world like a glass chandelier hanging in the sky". (According to UFOs over Hampshire and the Isle of Wight by Robert Price).

More than 30 years later, I walked up Hill Lane (as I am prone to do when returning from bouts of train travel), looking for UFOs and signs of anything unusual. I saw silvery roadside debris, strange faces drawn onto Lucy boxes, fungi behind wire fences and a sign that said "Warning. Site trance", but unfortunately nothing resembling a chandelier. I'll walk up Hill Lane again soon though, I know, and when I do, I'll gaze at the sky for a just a little bit longer than previously.

Was his name really Monty Warlock ?

If so, maybe the UFO had come to take him home...

The book said that was his name, at least. :) Searching on Google seems to give a Southampton "Monty Warlock" who was a jazz musician.

A jazz musician in the seventies ? I'm surprised UFO's were all he was seeing, man, he'd have been caned off his tree until the mid-eighties !

Heh, true. Plus the photo looks very unlike a chandelier.
