RE the possible sightings of UFOs over Darlington and Christopher Wardell’s suggestion that, were one of them to land, the occupants might take him away with them (HAS, May 1).

A possibility equally worth considering, and one that might have occurred to other readers as well as me, is that Mr Wardell is himself of extraterrestrial origin.

It might account for a lot if he were. – Tony Kelly, Crook.

REGARDING Mr Wardell’s missive indicating his anxiety at the prospect of alien abduction, I suppose that we can, at least, live in hope. – Bill Smith, Darlington
