He phoned the police and said you Are not going to believe this but i have a flying Saucer in one of my go on said the Little Green m in dancing round it Jennings eventually convince them and went Back to his work. The police came and took the Saucer away. One was flown by helicopter to the Royal air Force station at mansion so experts could examine it.
