 Mandrake: The admiral who believes in UFOs
 Day of week: Sunday

 THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH  London
 
 Is retired Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton preparing to
 join Mr Spock in the higher echelons of Starfleet Command? The
 question is not as far-fetched as might be imagined. The former
 Chief of the Defence Staff believes that the earth may have been
 visited by creatures from other worlds.
 In a forward to Alien Liaison, a new book on the subject of
 unidentified flying objects by session musician Mr Timothy Good,
 Lord Hill-Norton writes that the "astounding revelations" Mr Good
 makes are "impossible, certainly for me, to dismiss unless they are
 . . . publicly disproved". He invites the many scientists and
 political figures quoted to "either put up or shut up" if they feel
 they have been misrepresented.
 Among Mr Good's odder revelations are that aliens have been
 cutting off slices of cow - usually rump - for analysis in their
 intergalactic laboratories. In addition to the distasteful practice
 of bovine lo-bottomy, is the claim by a well-known rocket scientist
 that several US presidents may have been visited by a spaceman
 called Alan and that a Brazilian man was once seduced by a
 four-and-a-half-foot tall alien woman ("beautiful, though of a
 different type from the women I had known") from whom he contracted
 "what can only be described as a type of cosmic 'clap' ".
 Lord Hill-Norton is not put off by Mr Good's extraordinary
 tales. "The plain fact is that either what he reports here is true,
 or it isn't. If his accounts of recovered UFOs and their alien
 occupants being in the hands of United States government agencies
 (and perhaps those of the Soviet Union too) are not true, then it
 seems that many important and distinguished former public servants
 have perhaps lied, or have been grossly mis-reported. In the latter
 event, one must expect and hope that they will take the appropriate
 legal action to set the record straight."
 Fighting talk, suggesting genuine conviction. And the admiral
 is not alone in his beliefs. At least three former US presidents,
 Mr Richard Nixon, Mr Jimmy Carter and Mr Ronald Reagan are UFO
 converts (somehow one just knew it would be them) while the Soviet
 leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, has stated for the record that the
 phenomenon "does exist and must be treated seriously".
 The index to Mr Good's book does not list any British prime
 ministers who have expressed interest in flying saucers, but this
 can probably be explained by the allegation that our putative
 aliens are power groupies and make instinctively for the White
 House. Mr Kinnock's views are similarly unrecorded. In this country
 the admiral, whose chosen title is Baron Hill-Norton of South
 Nutfield, appears to be the only leader to whom a
 protocol-conscious alien could reasonably turn.
