Ken Gayes, from Trentham, says he saw a UFO in the late-1950s, which he says "adds credibility to [his] story as UFOs were unfashionable then."

"I had just eaten an apple, and I sneaked into my neighbour's garden to plant the pips in his prize-winning lawn," explains Ken. "I hoped the pips would grow into trees and ruin his lawn. But then, a large UFO with flashing lights flew over. My neighbour came out and saw me, called me a 'little shit' and threw a turnip at me. The worst thing is that the pips never did grow into trees and ruin his lawn."
