From 1975 up until a year before his death, I had regularly correspondence and phone call exchanging with Eric Morris (who had a number of UFO ‘groups’ and publications). By 1983 I was aware that things he was telling me were untrue. Incidents and reports that I double checked never panned out and as soon as the whole “Grey” abduction phenomenon broke he was straight in it [...]
Morris faked (badly) documents and on one occasion his rubber stamp was on the reverse side. The “Black Heath UFO crash” was his work. He threatened people as part of his ‘problem’. The late Joan Amos, widely known in UFO and Fortean circles, was in her 70s when Morris threatened her physically to get some documents she had. When a male neighbour heard all of this and went out to intervene in the matter Morris left.
Over the telephone he once threatened to shoot me and told me that there would be no consequences for him as he was still employed by the secret service (apparently he had operated some communications system in Romania in the late 1970s). Well, that was the last straw for me and I contacted Cheshire police and reported the phone call. Morris denied it all while “saying some odd things” and I was told that he did not have a good reputation and I should try to avoid further contact with him.
His faking of reports and witness bullying was known to top UK Ufologists –some of whom had not only been threatened by him but also used similar tactics.
I then read that he had been applauded over a talk (which was all fake material and info) at a Northern UFO event. I never believed that because others prominently involved all knew about Morris. However, two different Ufologists told me that it was all true and that even those in conflict with Morris had applauded and spoke highly of him.
I have one full case report which was submitted to the MoD since Morris had, it seems, used my name several times. The report from Morris contained letters to various RAF commands, local authorities and the claims were so paranoid and delusional that I asked someone I knew who was a psychologist to read through it for me. “Paranoid. Delusional and with possible psychopathic traits” was the character assessment I got back.
All of this was known to leading Ufologists and Ufology in general [...]
Following the Manchester Airport sighting in the 1990s Morris sent me a taped interview with an alleged witness. Morris is constantly calling the object a “space craft” and adding details not given by the witness (if a real witness) [...]
