The Alan Godfrey Problem.
First off, I believe Alan Godfrey was involved in a set of circumstances that -to a standard fellow, doesn't make
any sense when seen as a whole. But if separated, a conclusion drawn from an overview can alter, the facets
of the individual incidents can cause a neutral viewer/reader to see that any connection could be created by
biased inference.
In the case of Mr. Godfrey's 1980 situation, this sectarian interpretation seems to have originated from the media's
delusive reading of what the Coroner -James Turnbull, flippantly said after the inquest into the death of Zigmund Adamski.
“The question of where he was before he died and what led to his death could not be answered.”
“In my 12,000 cases, this is the most baffling I’ve ever had. If I was told a UFO took this man up and
dropped him on the coal pile, I would only raise one eyebrow.”
Right there is a perfect reason to manufacture a 'silly-season' article to lighten the mood for a British summer of news that
would struggle to make an audience smile.
You have a dead guy in 1980 who had the same surname as George Adamski -an alleged friend of 'Space Brothers'
and claimed to have travelled in their vehicles. George Adamski died in 1965... so it's just the surname that connects
them, but on a slow-news day and in bleak economic times, that's enough to jump-start the silly season and fill a column
or two.
Plus... Zigmund Adamski -the dead person P.C Godfrey found on that rainy day in Tordmorden had another connection
with the American name-sake. They were both Polish. (Cue mysterious music here!)

Then there's what happened to Alan Godfrey when he allegedly observed a strange craft on a lonely road in November
of the same year... the connections to the Coroner's remark is inescapable for lazy Reporters!
1980.
Unemployment in the UK was at a two-year high at 1.5 million, Inflation has risen to 21.8% and Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher was kicking the sh*t out of the Trade Unions and their stranglehold over companies llike the failing British Steel.
Punk Rock was still showing the angst of the forgotten youth and with jobs being scarce, the seemingly endless rounds of
strikes and the stagnation of ecomonic and spiritual growth of the country from the former political leadership, one could
reasonably appreciate why such times as silly-season in Journalistic circles are utilised to attempt to raise the spirits in a
disgruntled nation.
Such an apparatus is still in play today!
The media enjoy their word-play, just as authors and book reviewers do to enhance the importance of a product to their
prospective customers. Phrases like 'mysterious Governmental forces' and 'unusual interest by authorities' are applied to
urge an audience into being suspicious of 'the other' narrative which can deflate the intrigue via rational and well-researched
assessments.
Let's take a look.
..................................
Zigmund Adamski.
Mr. Adamaski was the fifty-six year-old deceased Polish-immigrant coal miner who was found by Trevor Parker -the son
of the owner of the coal yard in Todmorden West Yorkshire, where the incident occurred.
The body was discovered on top of a ten or twelve foot-high coal heap. This discovery is said to have transpired on the
afternoon on Wednesday, 11th June 1980.
Adamski had gone missing from his home in Tingley, West Yorkshire after reportedly visiting some local shops in the late
afternoon of Friday, 6th June 1980 and purchased groceries for the next day.

Zigmund Adamski.
He was married and his wife -Leokadia (Hetty), was wheelchair-bound due to Multiple Sclerosis. Emphasis from the media
and later researchers was put on the fact that Adamski's God-daughter was to be married the day after his disappearance
and Zigmund had been hosting two family members from Poland, Zigmund's cousin and her son.
Presumably, this remark of the approaching marriage is to imply a positive vibe, a 'buoyant' reason to challenge the adverse
situation that Mr. Adamski later found himself. The five days that Zigmund Adamski was missing for have never been explained
and nobody has ever come forward with information of his whereabouts during that time.
Tingley is around twenty miles away from Tordmorden. How Mr. Adamski travelled there is unknown.
..................................
Police Officer Alan Godfrey's part in the Adamski incident.
At 3:45 PM on the afternoon of the 11th June, P.C Godfrey received a call on his portable police radio for assistance from
a fellow-Officer and friend, P.C Malcom Hagley. Godfrey had been walking his regular route in a nearby area of Tordmorden
and Hagley was in a patrol car named 'Alpha-Bravo-Three'.
![[Image: attachment.php?aid=6141]](http://rogue-nation3.com/attachment.php?aid=6141)
Arriving as a pair, the two Policemen were confronted by Trevor Parker, the son of the owner of a Coal-yard adjoined to the
Todmorden railway station, The yard was known as 'Tomlins'. The isolated property is a horseshoe-shaped industrial unit that
is located at the end of a seldom-used track.
Godfrey later stated that an ambulance was already in attendance, although this is left out of most articles.
Parker had been preparing to load his truck with coal for afternoon deliveries when he observed the un-moving body atop
the pile of coal confined by large wooden sleepers. It was raining at the time as P.C. Hagley clambered up to see the body
and suggested his colleague should also evaluate the scene. P.C Godfrey joined Hagley and later explained what he saw:
"The body was lying face up and there were no signs of coal dust or dirt on his face or clothing.
He was wearing a suit, but underneath his suit jacket, which was buttoned incorrectly, he lacked a
shirt and was wearing only a string vest.
His trousers were unzipped and shoes were tied crudely.
There was no sign of a struggle, on both the body, nor the stacked coal pile."
However, P.C Godfrey stated he saw a series of burn-like marks around Adamski’s crown, nape and shoulders that appeared
like a chemical burn in several patches which had been treated by a “green yellowy substance”.
Quote from Alan Godfrey:
“It was quite obvious to me and to Malcolm, that this guy didn’t die where he was found...
it seemed he'd been dumped. He appeared to have been dressed after death."
It was also discovered later that the victim's watch, wallet and groceries were missing. Agreeing that the scene looked suspicious
and not hinting of a natural death, the two Officers contacted their superiors and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID)
were requested to take over the situation.
The immediate area was photographed by the 'Scenes-Of-Crime' section of the CID and the coroner announced life extinct.
The body was removed from the yard and taken to Hebden Bridge Mortuary for an autopsy.
During the logistics of preparing for the examination of the body, P.C Godfrey, P.C Hagley and a junior Officer set about
establishing the identity of the deceased male.
Alan Edwards was the consulting pathologist at Royal Halifax Infirmary who performed the autopsy and found that the body
had only a single days beard growth, had eaten well during the days he had been missing, although he had not eaten on the
day of his death.
The time of death was estimated to have been between 11.am and 1.pm on the 11th June, the same day he was found.
The burns appeared to be precise and occurred around two days prior to death.
Samples of the gel-like substance that covered the burn marks were sent to the Home Office laboratory in Wetherby for
chemical analysis.
(Closed in 2012.)
Cause of death was stated as heart failure and unknown at that time, Zigmund Adamski was heavy smoker and with working
at the coal mine, this left him troubled with bronchitis. The only discernible marks on the body at all were a small series of
superficial cuts on the palms of both hands, both knees and a small cut on the right thigh.
Meanwhile, P.C Godfrey and associates checked as far as Wakefield for known missing persons and eventually arrived at the
name of the fifty-six year-old man of Tingley, West Yorkshire. Zigmund Adamski, he'd been missing five days.
No implications of debt, alcohol or gambling problems were unearthed, Adamski was well liked in his community and he seemed
to have no enemies. Christopher Zielinski, a close friend of Zigmund, commented that the close-to-retiring miner seemed "happy,
friendly and in high spirits" the last time he'd spoken to him.
However, there were rumours of a family feud which involved the issuing of a restraining order taken out on the husband of
Zigmund's cousin who was currently staying with him.
The unknown substance that had been found on Adamski's burn-marks could not be identified and at the inquest, Coroner
James Turnbull concluded an open verdict for Mr. Zigmund Adamaski and that the probable cause was heart failure due his poor
health.
Neither Godfrey, Hagley or any other witnesses were requested to attend.
Life moves on.
