Initial data
Walking along the coast near Lossiemouth, Cedric Allingham heard a whistling sound. Looking up, he saw through binoculars a flying saucer, only slightly different from the one described by Adamski.
3 hours later, he heard and saw it again. The object was landing 50 yards away.
"Its entire body was metallic and seemed to glow faintly," but was not translucent. It was 50 feet wide and 20 feet high. It looked like polished aluminum.
A 6-foot-tall man with tanned skin and a high forehead came out of the facility. His clothes covered him from neck to toes (he didn't wear shoes). There was a tiny tube in each nostril.
When Allingham was drawing planetary orbits, he nodded when he pointed to Mars and repeated "Mars." In the course of further information exchange, he confirmed Allingham's assumptions that the Martian canals consist of water surrounded by vegetation.
Allingham touched and photographed the saucer and also photographed the pilot. These photos are reproduced in his book.
A slight buzzing marked the rise of the saucer. The interview lasted half an hour.
Original news
Walking along the coast near Lossiemouth, Cedric Allingham heard a swishing sound, and looking up, saw through binoculars a flying saucer only slightly different from Adamski’s. 3 hours later he heard and saw it again, coming in for a landing 50 yards away. “The whole metallic body, seemed to glow faintly,” but was not translucent; it was 50 ft wide and 20 ft high, resembling polished aluminum. A 6 ft man with a deep tan skin and a high forehead got out. His garment covered him from neck to toes—he wore no shoes. In each nostril was a tiny tube. When Allingham drew planetary orbits, he nodded when Mars was pointed out, and repeated “Mars.” In further exchanges he verified Allingham’s suggestions that the Martian canals consist of a central string of water surrounded by vegetation. Allingham touched and photographed the saucer and also photographed the pilot, from a side rear angle; these photos are reproduced in his book. A slight humming marked the take off of the saucer. The interview had lasted ½ hour.
Hypotheses
Deliberate falsification
This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.
There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.
Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
Investigation
In their research, Christopher Allan and Stuart Campbell, when they examined the magazine "Magonia", found that the style of Allingham's book is very similar to the presentation of the works of the famous astronomer Patrick Moore. With the help of the publisher of Allingham's book, they reached out to a friend of Moore's named Peter Davis, who admitted that he himself wrote this book together with another author, whose name he declined to name. Davis also stated that he gave a lecture at the UFO club, posing as Allingham, while wearing a fake mustache.
Moore admitted that Lord Dowding had invited him to this meeting as a guest. This fact and other circumstances led Allan and Campbell to the conclusion that Moore is the main organizer of this hoax in order to demonstrate the credulity and frivolity of British ufologists.
Moore immediately denied that he was involved in the appearance of Allingham's book, and threatened to sue those who claim otherwise. However, he never carried out his threats. Moore died in 2012 without having clarified this story. Although the telescope, the background foliage and part of the barn shown in Allingham's book portrait have similarities to the 12½-inch reflector telescope in Moore's own garden (shown in a photograph in his work "The Book of Observer Astronomers", 1971 edition, and in video footage).
As a result, they considered that the book "Flying Saucer from Mars" is probably a parody of the book "Flying Saucers have already Landed", written in 1953 by George Adamski in collaboration with Desmond Leslie.
