British UFO researcher and film-maker Mark Christopher Lee claims to have solved one of the UK’s most famous UFO mysteries – that of the Calvine UFO. The story is that in August 1990 in Calvine, Scotland, 2 witnesses saw a diamond shaped UFO being pursued by a military jet and took a photos of it. These photos were take to the Scottish Daily Record for publication but after the newspaper contacted the MOD the story was never published. It wasn’t until 1996 that former MOD UFO head Nick Pope wrote an unclassified version of the even in his book – Open Skies Closed Minds – that the story became public. Pope states that he had a copy of the photo enlarged on his office wall at the MOD but this was removed by his superiors. Recently in August 2022 retired RAF press officer Craig Lindsay released what was purported to be one of the original photos to the press. The question nobody has been able to answer is what was this diamond shaped craft and why was a military jet following it? “Luckily I have recently had access to retired CID Officer John Hanson’s UFO archive in Stratford Upon Avon. It’s a treasure trove of UFO sightings going back to the 1940’s,” Lee states. “From going through all these documents there seems to have been a lot of sightings of diamond shaped crafts since the 1970’s and especially around UK military bases. “There seems to be a connection – is the Calvin UFO a secret military technology either of ours or an adversary that has been kept secret? Why is this diamond shaped craft seemingly accompanied by military jets?” From these archives there is a sighting from April 1978 where an Essex girl called Janet Bull reported seeing an diamond shaped UFO being chased by 2 RAF jets.

I instinctively flinched down and then looked up at the sky where the noise had come from. There were now intermittent clouds but moving between 2 of them was a very large DIAMOND SHAPED craft…it was certainly several times bigger than any aircraft I had ever seen and it’s shape was like nothing I’d seen before. The whole underside of this craft was covered in equally spaced sets of diamond patterned lights. Several of the lights were different colours. such as reds, oranges, purples, greens, yellows but kept in groups of the same colour> There was no noise at all and the craft moved silently across the sky.” John Hanson who is the owner of this UFO archive wonders if there is a connection between this sighting in 1979 and the subsequent Rendelsham UFO case of 1980 where a US military saw a UFO land in Rendelsham Forest next door to RAF Bentwaters. This case has been deemed by UFO researchers as the British Roswell. Brett Lyne added: “Many years later I recalled this sighting to another police officer friend and he told me about the Rendelsham incident, which I had never heard of. “He said there was a sighting prior to Rendelsham by 2 men standing on the seafront at night in Suffolk about 20 miles from RAF Coltishall when they sighted when appears to be the same diamond shaped craft fly over the coast and this too was silent. Their sighting was about 12 months after mine.” Also in the archive is another sighing of a diamond shaped craft just prior to the Rendelsham Incident of December 1980. On 25 October 1980 a Diamond shaped UFO was seen over Lowestoft in Suffolk. It was reported by Lowestoft chemist James Edington who said: “I have never seen anything like it before. I was standing with an elderly neighbour of mine. We both saw it and noticed a flashing light at each point of the diamond. IT was silent all we could heard was the swishing of air as it passed over.” Further records of diamond shaped crafts being seen in the 80’s and 90’s. September 1981 in Lowestoft, Suffolk Anna Sidle and her children were on holiday. As night fell they saw a silver diamond shaped object appear overhead in the sky. She wondered if it had anything to do with the nearby USAF base. Then in September 1990 the month after the Calvine sighting Deborah Jones was driving from Ipswich to Kirby Cross with her husband and 2 sons: “As we continued on our journey, the road opened and we all saw the object, which resemble a squashed silver diamond, with the top half revolving, as it headed along the side of a filed. It then flew parallel to us for about 10 miles, last a speed of about 60-60 miles per hour. As we began to see the chimneys of Ipswich Docks, it suddenly accelerated at tremendous speed out of sight.” Mark Christopher Lee Mark Christopher Lee adds: “Here are a just a few exampled of this diamond shaped craft that started appearing in the late 1970’s into the 1980’s and was maybe the same craft or type of craft that was photographed at Calvine in Scotland. “Are we dealing with our technology that is still secret or is it extra terrestrial but the MOD and the military know about it? Also is this the same craft that was witnessed in Rendelsham Forest in 1980 – I do think so. “There does seem to be a connection of this diamond shaped craft with the military – either it’s being accompanied by our own jets or is spotted near areas that have military bases.” Lee spoke with Nick Pope about the connection to the military. Pope said: “While my predecessor on the MoD’s UFO Desk undertook the original investigation, I inherited the fallout, and got involved in follow-up work. We concluded that the six photos were genuine, and that they showed a large, structured craft that remained unidentified. “Many in the UFO community believe the Calvine UFO was an alien spacecraft, while aviation enthusiasts think it was a secret prototype aircraft. “Calvine was only about a hundred miles from the secretive RAF base at Machrihanish, on the Kintyre Peninsula, and this was where a US spy plane codenamed Aurora was rumoured to be operating. It’s noteworthy that the Calvine UFO was spotted just two days after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, so that may be a big clue.” So was the diamond shaped craft spotted at Calvin and near USAF bases in the UK actually the Aurora spy plane and was this the craft or earlier version of it that they saw at Rendelsham?
