One foggy and dreary Sunday afternoon, the congregation of an unnamed village near Bristol was leaving church. The service ended around noon and the outside weather was dark and gloomy. As the worshipers walked through the churchyard on their way home, one of them noticed a ships anchor clinging on to a gravestone. A rope stretched up into the clouds as if attached to a ship in the sky. The rope began to jerk and quiver, as if being pulled from above the clouds. Then a figure descended into the fog from above and followed the path of the rope. Looking as if starved of air, the person was forced to return to the ship. The rope was then cut and it fell, loose and heavy, from the sky. A piece of the anchor was fastened to the church door as a reminder of the event. No one knows what kind of beings were in the sky ship, with normal Earth air being impossible for them to breathe. A similar tale may help explain what happened, as one day a fisherman was out at sea and dropped his knife overboard by mistake. At the exact same time, his wife was in the kitchen chopping vegetables. A knife fell through an open skylight and landed at the table in front of her. Perhaps it was the same knife?
