According to a UFO expert, the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, had a strong fascination with extraterrestrial life. In a new documentary, which will be available on Amazon and Tubi on September 20th, it was revealed that the Duke was actually supposed to meet with an alien named 'Janus' at a flat in Chelsea. The film, titled "The King of UFOs", explores Prince Philip's passion for all things otherworldly and how his background in engineering only fueled his curiosity.
It seems that the Prince was presented with the opportunity to meet an actual alien and, as the husband of Queen Elizabeth, it was hard for him to say no. The director of the documentary, Mark Christopher Lee, shared that the meeting was arranged by Sir Peter Horsley, the Prince's top aide at the time. Horsley claimed to have met with Janus in a flat on Smith Street in 1954 and described the entity as ethereal and able to read minds.
Although the Prince was initially interested in the meeting, he ultimately did not attend. Some have speculated that Janus may have been a Russian spy, but Horsley firmly believed that the being was not of this world. In the documentary, Lee muses that the encounter could have actually happened and describes it as a "very, very strange encounter."
It's no surprise that the royals have a long-standing interest in extraterrestrial life. In the film, UFO expert Nick Pope shares that Prince Philip was at the forefront of this interest. He became even more intrigued after a spaceship reportedly landed in the garden of his uncle, Lord Mountbatten, in 1955. The Prince even subscribed to a bi-monthly journal on UFOs and asked his former assistant, Sir Peter Horsley, to keep him updated on any sightings.
It's not just Prince Philip who has shown interest in UFOs. The documentary also delves into the possibility that Prince Charles may have inherited this fascination from his father. According to Lee, he has been told by a source that Charles has had his own UFO sighting and has been exchanging correspondence about UFOs and other strange phenomena.
The British government has also taken UFOs seriously, with officials meeting weekly to discuss them in the 1950s. In fact, government records show that there was an average of one UFO sighting reported every week in 1957. This fascination with extraterrestrial life is not limited to the royal family, as a 2021 YouGov poll found that half of Britons believe in aliens and almost 10% claim to have seen a UFO.
However, not all UFO sightings can be explained as visits from other planets. An investigation by the military spy agency, Project Condign, found that most of the 10,000 UFO sightings they examined were actually stray Chinese lanterns. Despite this, the fascination with otherworldly beings continues to capture the attention of many, including the royal family. It remains a mystery whether or not the current monarch, King Charles III, has inherited this interest from his predecessors.
