Taken from here :

On Saturday, November 13th 1999. MAPIT Head Office received a telephone call from a gentleman calling himself Mr. Murphy. His message was recorded on the telephone answering machine. This Message is as follows :-

“This is Stuart Murphy here, I live on the corner of Winter Hill and ************* is in the sky, I’m s****ing my self here. I wondered if you can investigate or something. ************* Jesus”.

The marking in the message ************* represents the message breaking up.
Due to the possible urgency we contacted Mr. Murphy by the telephone number that was obtained from caller display. The time was now 12.51 am on Sunday, November 14th 1999. A short conversation with Mr. Murphy took place :-

Mr. Murphy mentioned the farm name which is about five or six minutes away from his home. He had been working late at the farm on Saturday, November 13th 1999 when suddenly he saw a huge bright light over the farm. He described how he felt terrified and threatened. The light then moved over towards the cattle field for a short time before moving off into the distance. Mr. Murphy was worried for the cattle and quickly ran out to check them. No sooner had he reached the field he noticed the strange object turn and head towards him. He looked up at the bright object which was directly over him as he ran back to the farm house. Whilst the strange object hung over the farm again, Mr. Murphy had contacted our head office and left the message. Mr. Murphy explained that he was talking to us on a mobile telephone which is owned by the farmer and that he had worked at this particular farm for about 15 years. We informed Mr. Murphy that it was important to obtain all the details and that it’s best to make an arrangment with us so to discuss the incident. Mr. Murphy agread to contact us again and arrange a meeting. He informed us that he had a lot of work to do over the next few days, but he will contact us. His conversation was cut short, due to the farmer being in the vicinity and Mr. Murphy not wanting the farmer to know that he had contacted us.

Note :

Most of the conversation with Mr. Murphy was regarding calming him down and telling him to take his time talking. There were many cursing words, which is an expected reaction due to the incident. Mr. Paul Rookes and Teresa O'neil, Qualified Psychologists listened to the telephone message and commented on the stress in Mr. Murphy’s voice.

We did not expect to hear from Mr. Murphy until Wednesday, November 17th 1999, however, Mr. Murphy telephoned us on Sunday, November 14th 1999 at approximately, 10.30 pm. Once again, Mr. Murphy was very upset and it took considerable time to calm him down and to get him to take his time talking. He explained that three official looking gentlemen dressed in suits claiming to be from...(etc)

Previously a puzzle cache, I've reset it as a traditional now, so that it is open to all.

You'll probably see, and hear, the friendly Stonechats en-route. Some half decent starter items in the cache, plus a laminated map - please leave this in there!
