The Warminster Thing

The Warminster Thing | What the Hell Happened! Podcast

Hosted by Esther & Mr. Lockwood

On Christmas morning in 1964, the quiet English town of Warminster was jolted awake by a deep, rattling hum that seemed to shake the very sky. Residents reported strange noises, objects falling from above, and sightings of glowing, disc-shaped crafts hovering silently over the countryside. The press quickly gave it a name: “The Warminster Thing.” Over the following months, Warminster became the epicenter of one of Britain’s most famous UFO flaps—drawing journalists, investigators, and curious onlookers from across the country. What began as a strange sound soon evolved into a wave of bizarre activity that would define an era of UFO hysteria.

In this episode, Esther and Mr. Lockwood break down the eyewitness accounts, the theories that followed, and the legacy of the phenomenon that turned a sleepy English town into a hotspot for the unexplained.

🛸 A sound from the sky, a town in panic, and one of the UK’s strangest UFO mysteries.
