The Sandling Sighting

The Sandling Sighting: The Bat-Faced Being of Kent ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of an alleged extraterrestrial encounter and a non-human entity that some listeners may find unsettling. Listener discretion is advised. Kent, England. Autumn 1974. A quiet county of winding lanes and ancient oaks. The kind of place where nothing ever happens. Four boys were walking home through the woods. A shortcut they had taken a hundred times before. Then they saw a light — silent, glowing, descending from the sky. No sound. No engine. Just a controlled, deliberate arc into the trees ahead of them. They did what twelve-year-olds do. They followed it. What they found in that clearing has never been explained. In this solo episode Bubah tells the full story of the Sandling Sighting — one of the most compelling and consistently documented UFO encounters in British history. Four credible witnesses. Separate police interviews. Testimony that never changed. Physical traces at the landing site. And a description of something standing beside the craft that no theory has fully accounted for in fifty years. Z will be back with us soon. Until then — the echoes remain. Have you had an encounter you can't explain? We want to hear it. Email: [email protected] X: @EchosPoddCast Facebook: Search Echosofthepast — where the paranormal is normal!
