A steady-performing, UFOlogically-inclined Fortean.
Bryan Geoffrey Essenhigh was born in 1927, probably on 2 March, numbering him among the late generation of Fortean Society members. I know nothing about his early life. In the 1950s, he was living at Gable Cottage, Pembroke Road, Sevenoaks, Kent and 27 Bradbourne Wale Road, also in Sevenoaks.
He became interested in flying saucers, and from the mid-1950s contributed to many UFO organizations, often as a foreign correspondent. According to the “UFO Newsletter” (#8, 24 June 1957), he was a representative for it as well as the North Jersey UFO Group, the Civilian Saucer Investigation out of New Zealand, a contributor to the Australian Saucer Record, and Gray Barker’s Saucerian Bulletin. As best I can tell, his activity ran from 1955—the earliest mention I can find to him in the UFOlogical literature—and did not survive the change to the next decade, and may have ended as early as 1957. (It is of course possible that his interest continued, just with very little record.) His main contribution seems to have been sending in clippings from English papers, although he may also have done some editorial and organizational work.
