“At first I thought it must be a joke, or the pieces of metal would be worthless,” he described, through e-mail. “They were stored off-site, so I arranged for the files to be sent to London for examination early in the New Year.”
Clarke, a specialist in the research study of modern legends, stated that the pieces were saved in a plastic box together with files assembled by a previous press officer at theMuseum
“Inside the files was a large tin cigarette box with a label marked ‘Victoria and Albert Museum – alleged UFO bits’,” he stated. “When the box was opened we saw a collection of five paper envelopes (labelled A-E) that contains pieces of metal, fused metal/plastic amalgam and tiny pieces of copper foil. When I examined the associated correspondence I immediately noted references to pieces of ‘The Silpho Moor Object,’ with a note saying these pieces were forwarded to the museum for scientific examination in 1963.”
