"I'm convinced that PR park is an attraction for aliens"


To be ever so briefly, and hypothetically rational, just for a second like, I do wonder why an intelligent species that had managed not to destroy itself on the path to supra-light travel, given the incredible advantages of technology they would have over us, the potential benefits to us if they were benign, the awful consequences for us if they were not, would be so coy yet indiscreet about their presence.


Given the huge sums a civilisation would have to invest in these awesome machines able to somehow go beyond the known physical laws and travel vast distances in the blink of an eye, and given our own touristic proclivities that tend to nice weather, amazing natural phenomena, good food, good company and the like, why (oh why) would they choose to undertake these great journies to potter about in their small glowing craft above Peckham Rye.


Is it some intestellar cottaging/dogging spot perhaps?

Maybe SETI should be pointing inward to some alien corner of grindr. Greenr perhaps?

I think we need some perspective on this El Pibe. I could equally put the case to you, of the many thousands of Brits who invest a week or two of their lives each year travelling to a muddy caravan park in Bognor Regis. Tormented by foul weather and s*it food! and yet they happily send cards back home to friends and relatives claiming to be having 'a good time'. Just because these aliens are intelligent, doesn't mean they don't make mistakes or believe what they are doing is pointless. If I were living on a planet far off in some other galaxy I'd probably find Peckham Rye Park quite an entertaining and nice place to hover my craft. Even though, it's a pointless exercise. Quids that's slightly unfair. I know of at least four rational people who don't live in the mid-west of the USA who've been abducted. A good friend of mine was once found unconscious and lost a good few hours after allegedly being kidnapped by a yellow glowing light. I kid you not.

Well I never thought my observation of a glowing orange supra-light travelling thingy would stir up so much debate but I'm glad it has. Upon reading El Pibe's post I nearly pissed my pants laughing! And Louisa I find your post about your friends being abducted by aliens or yellow lights quite intriguing.

The fact of the matter is that we will never know what it was, unless it/they visit me in my flat and I post on here what happened, but we can certainly thank ourselves lucky for having great imaginations that allow us to come to such conclusions.

Live long and prosper

Ha ha, Strafer. No, not bug-eyed. I don't remember her saying she'd been turned into an alien. She truly believed she'd been abducted though.


Funnily enough I had a strange experience here in ED/Peckham borders a long time ago. I woke up very early one morning, about 5am, convinced there was a spaceship outside waiting for me - I visualised it in my mind as a glowing, gold Ford Cortina. So I got up, and let myself and my little dog out of the front door and closed it behind me. Then I walked to the gate, baffled as to why the 'space car' wasn't there yet. Then I really woke up, to the horror of standing in my front garden dressed only in a T-shirt (nothing, and I mean nothing, else). I managed to smash the far side of my bay window with a large stone and after carefully depositing my dog in away from the shattered glass, climbed in myself and went straight back to bed. Luckily no one saw the broken window as it was hidden by part of a hedge. I have double glazing now, so just hope it never happens again!


It was the first and only time I'd sleepwalked. Mind you, I was so convinced this craft was coming for me. And more than a little disappointed when it failed to turn up. I went very willingly. Strange, eh.

    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
