Strange things are happening near a landmark in North Norfolk, UK.

As travelers pass the giant grey “golf ball” radar dome their cars suddenly cut out, their instrument panels fail, their lights go out. Occasionally, the motorists speed dial will register that the driver is traveling at 150 mph or zero. Sometimes these malfunctions only last for a few minutes, other times the cars have to be towed to the nearest garage to repair the damage.

These malfunctions only seem to happen as people drive past the radar dome, and all of these occurrences have taken place over the last few months, with an increase over the last three weeks or so.

When the cars arrive at the garage for repair they sometimes find that there is permanent damage to electrical instruments in the car resulting in costly repair. Other times the mechanics simply disconnect the cars battery then reconnect it and all is well.

Residents near the golf ball shaped grey radar dome have not experienced the same troubles as people driving cars in the vicinity of the dome. Residential television sets and radios appear to be working without interference.The radar dome is a key part of the nations radar defense system. Obviously things have changed at the dome in recent months, perhaps they have increased the frequency or output. Officials are investigating the complaints of strange occurrences near the Trimingham radar, but they state that the radar is operating legally and that there are no guarantees that the radar is the cause of reported incidents.

Residents driving through this area must think that they are about to be abducted by aliens when their car suddenly cuts out or their instrument panel goes wacky.
