I certainly agree that PC Godfrey isn't a 'trickster'; this is much more interesting than that. But he seems to have at least half an idea in his head that this was an internal experience of some kind, rather than a physical event. I'm fairly sure he is right about that. A daydream, including elements from the earlier sighting of a bus (plus a memory of the plastic house or photos of the same).
I don't suspect for a moment that the MOD were interested in any significant fashion until this Russian guy started poking his nose in. Now that really is interesting.
Much of the 'close encounter' phase of this case was an internal experience in my view. In fact they often are. I have frequently brought up things like this in my FT columns and in the book I make this point too related to this case.
I argue that nature abhors a vacuum, so if we create one by a period when the witness is 'out of it' and disorientated amidst that internal experience, they assume an experience must have occurring during the gap when quite possibly none did at all. But if you think there is a memory to retrieve and you use methods like hypnosis to find it you can quite possibly result in creating that memory to fill the gap that was never really there.
As I have also written in my columns for FT over the years, often close encounter witnesses are susceptible to other experiences and 'black outs' for short periods throughout their lives.
My view is that the litany of assorted phenomena that a witness later describes might all be 'gap filling' waking dreams that build themselves around the circumstances of the moment.
If you are in the bedroom at night you might plug the gap by seeing an entity or ghost.
If you are in an accident like falling off a cliff you might have an out of body or near death experience.
If you are on a road with something odd in front of you then you might have a close encounter.
I don't think it is hard to see most alien contact stories as emerging from the subconscious as opposed to a literal reality.
As you say even Alan has a struggle accepting that he was really in a carpeted spaceship with a bearded alien called Yosef and his big black dog.
That makes far more sense as a gap filling waking dream than as a literal reality.
I am certainly not saying anything beyond that. But am also very adamant that Alan is describing what happened.
His job is to tell us what he experienced.
It is ours to credibly build a way to interpret what it was that got experienced.
