An encounter with alleged extraterrestrial visitors drew extensive media attention in England back in 1980.
The incident took place on November 28th along Burnley Road in the town of Todmorden where Godfrey had been investigating reports of missing animals in the early hours of the morning.

Just as he was about to give up for the night he witnessed what he initially believed to be a bus heading towards him on the other side of the road. When it got closer, however, he realized that it was actually something far more unusual - an object that he later described as a 'large mass'.

"It was a fuzzy oval that rotated at such speed and hovered so low over the road that it was causing the bushes by the side to shake," he said.

His next recollection was of driving along further up the same road but with the mysterious object nowhere in sight. Confused, he returned to the spot where he had encountered the phenomenon and discovered "a circular patch where the road had been dried in a swirled pattern."
He also noted that his boots were scuffed as though he had been dragged along the ground and when he returned to the station he realized that he had somehow lost around 15 minutes of time.

He later learned that police officers in Halifax had also reported witnessing a "brilliant blue-white glow" in the sky on the same night while "a brilliant white object" was reported by a lorry driver around three miles from the location of his sighting.

After undergoing hypnotic regression in an effort to find out what happened during the missing period of time, Godfrey recalled being moved to a strange room where he met a bearded man called Yosef who, along with two robots, interrogated him through telepathic communication.

His story made headline news and became one of the UK's best known abduction cases.

No conclusive explanation for what he encountered that night has ever been found.

The article forgot to mention that in 2018 Godfrey told a newspaper, "I never said I was abducted by aliens."

You're right. He never actually said it. However, his previous statements do point to an abduction. Unless of course you can point to a link that debunks his previous statements.

With the same set of circumstances as what the cop experienced?

Yes, no aliens involved.
