I feel this deserves its own thread, especially as The Moody Blues have been mentioned on this forum a number of times over the years. This UK blues/rock band have existed in various incarnations since 1964 and sold over 70 million albums worldwide:

I became aware of this encounter from Philip Mantle's 'UFO Landings UK':

Which in turn led me to the source article in the Flying Saucer Review Vol 36 92) from 1991:

It is a fascinating encounter experienced by all five members of the group (as they were in '67) following a gig and whilst travelling south along the A6 in the early hours of the morning. As they watched the illuminated 'fat cigar' object land silently in a nearby field they were experiencing classic 'Oz factor' weirdness, with no other traffic or noise at all. Then intrigue suddenly turned to fear and they made a hasty exit. The report includes a sketch of the object and this is one case where you can argue the primary witness isn't in it for the fame or money.
I feel this report needs to be more widely known as there are five, sober witnesses involved and the details provided. Woulds be interested to know what forum members think
