Prince Philip’s rather extraordinary planned encounter with an alien called Janus
The late Duke of Edinburgh is said to have had a strong interest in UFOs and even read books about past encounters.
Prince Philip was reportedly very interested in UFOs and was even close to meeting one himself.
In a new documentary, The King Of UFOs, a story is retold of the time the late Duke of Edinburgh was due to meet an alleged alien called Janus, which had already met with Philip’s equerry Sir Peter Horsley beforehand.
Horsley said the alien wanted to talk to the Duke, however the meeting never took place.
In his book Sounds from Another Room, Sir Peter, who served as the Duke’s ‘equerry’ from 1949 to 1956, said Philip was extremely interested in UFOs and even asked him to bring witnesses to Buckingham Palace for private discussions.
Philip reportedly spent the summer of 2019 reading The Halt Perspective, which tells the story of Rendlesham Forest incident, dubbed ‘Britain’s Roswell’, where a number of strange lights were spotted at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, in 1980.
One serviceman claimed they got within touching distance of a ‘craft of unknown origin’ in the forest.
The Duke, who was also fond of looking after the environment, had a number of other books on extraterrestrials in his collection, including Haunted Skies: The Encyclopedia of British UFOs.
According to The Sun, the Duke’s interest in UFOs first began after an incident experienced by his uncle Lord Mountbatten, who wrote an official report about a silver spaceship reportedly landing on his Broadlands estate in Romsey, Hampshire in 1955.
