Scientists' struggles

BBC Radio Wiltshire is the BBC Local Radio public service station for the county. Warminster Community Radio (WCR) is the local community station broadcasting from the Civic Centre on 105.5MHz FM and online. [60] Warminster is the centre of a small commercial radio licensing area, available on 107.5MHz FM. [61] The licence was first held from 2001 by 3TR FM (Three Towns Radio; referring to Warminster, Westbury and Frome) but from 2008 went through several changes of ownership and station name. [62] Since 2019 the station has been owned by Bauer Radio, and in September 2020 it was rebranded to Greatest Hits Radio which broadcasts national and regional music programmes. [63] Military presence [ edit ] At 1.25 am on Christmas morning, 1964, Mrs Mildred Head was awoken by a strange noise. At first, it sounded as if twigs were scratching on her roof and then as if giant hailstones were raining down. She got up and went to the window. The night was dry and clear, she could see nothing unusual. She did, however, notice “a strange humming sound, which grew louder and then faded away, except for ‘a faint whisper — a low whistling or wheezing.’” But by the early 1970s, sightings of the Warminster “Thing” began to decline, and with them the number of curious visitors that had once swarmed the town. Even Shuttlewood, who had become a figurehead of the phenomenon, had retired from sky-watching due to ill health. With few sightings, no new books, and no one to guide would-be UFO spotters, interest in the Warminster “Thing” soon disappeared. Argent, Alan (11 September 2007).
