There have been a number of alleged alien encounters in which witnesses described the clothing, or attire, of the beings they met. Perhaps the most famous to date was that of civil rights activists Betty and Barney Hill, who claimed to have been abducted in rural New Hampshire in September 1961. In their first description of the alien, Barney described figures 'of human form dressed in shiny black uniforms and black caps with peaks or bills on them. The uniforms were like glossy leather'. The case became famous because the couple underwent post-abduction hypnosis by Dr Benjamin Simon, an expert in therapeutic hypnosis who had used it extensively to treat military personnel during World War II.

An iconic 60s rock star has been forced to cancel their tour over 'serious heart condition' after doctor warnings.

It was built in 1957 after being designed by renowned architect Harry Gesner for his friends Glenn and Gerry Cooper after they discovered what proved to be the ideal location - a hidden cove with good waves for surfing. The architectural gem, which has three rooflines shaped like cresting waves, was then sold to British musician Rod Stewart in the 1970s who was famous for making use of the grand location for hosting lavish parties. He in turn sold it to the powerful music producer Mo Ostin in 1987, who is known for signing stars such as Madonna, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, and Prince to record deals. Over the years the star power of the masterpiece has remained in the public eye, with it featuring as the dazzling home of a music agent in the 2019 film Yesterday.

Where were you when you got your O-level results? I only ask because when hundreds of thousands of teenagers learned their GCSE grades yesterday, I remembered where I'd been when it was my turn to find out whether I'd passed or failed. I was at the 1970 Isle of Wight pop festival, along with 750,00 others. My parents were untroubled by the fact I set off with little more than a sleeping bag and a few quid in my pocket.

TOM UTLEY: Somewhere there exists a snap of me, taken on a school trip to Greece in the late 1960s when I was 15 years old. In the fashion of the time, my hair is almost shoulder-length, and parted in the middle. I'm wearing a pair of duck‑egg blue, flared trousers and a pink, flowery shirt, bought for me in Carnaby Street. If I ever lay my hands on that photograph, which I fear may have found its way into an album belonging to one of my siblings, I shall certainly destroy it. My trouble was I was trying to look cool, so as to fit in with my schoolmates on the trip. I realise now, at this distance of more than half a century, that I succeeded only in looking ridiculous.

The relationship between 'the talent' and music managers in Rock 'n' Roll history is often a fraught one - filled with feuds, millions lost in court spats, and even murder allegations. From Jimi Hendrix, whose manager allegedly confessed to killing him, to Taylor Swift's bitter row over her first six albums, the list of musicians warring with management is full of unusual arguments and unlikely figures. Last week even clean-cut Coldplay were said to be paying a seven-figure sum to their former manager Dave Holmes, after he sued the band for £10million.

MailOnline's Jess Hamilton recalls a whirlwind weekend in Nashville. Drawn in by loud music, studded cowboy boots and bright lights, she found herself not only wanting to stay for that but everything else too. She writes: 'I knew it was nicknamed Music City, due to its long and influential history in the music industry, but I assumed this began and ended with country tunes. I couldn't have been more wrong.'

When a woman sent in a photograph of her table to be valued, she was left shocked, but it was only after an antiques specialist pointed out that her Jimi Hendrix pictures in the background were much more valuable. Margaret, from Cheshire, had phoned in to ask pawnbroker Dan Hatfield (right) how much her African Queen table (pictured left) would be worth on Wednesday's episode of This Morning, with the photos in the right hand corner. But she was left with much more than she bargained for when Dan was much more interested in her photos of Jimi Hendrix standing out in the corner of the photograph she submitted.

People from the Museum at Bethel Woods are traveling around the country gathering tales and memories from people who attended the historic 1969 Woodstock Festival. With the bulk of the attendees now in their 70s and 80s and some of them deceased, the museum is embedded in a five-year initiative to debunk legends. They have obtained over 500 testimonies from people who have served in WWII using methods similar to WWII historians. They're expanding their search this year, heading to Boston and New York City in early April, where they estimate half of the Woodstock crowd still lives.

Dear Bel, I'm a truck driver who works a 15-hour day at 73. I married a posh girl I adored in my twenties because she was skinny. (I hate myself for this), but if a woman put on weight I'd engineer a split.) We had two children that I loved, but she had an affair. Pat, a 7-year-old girl, became my st., so we split up but stayed friends. I went to Thailand with a friend to enjoy bachelor life, but I started a four-year relationship. It was because I didn't marry because I wasn't interested.

HMV is back, just a decade after defunct as young music enthusiasts abandon streaming in favour of vinyl and physical media, according to one of its bosses. Generation Z, according to Phil Halliday, the firm's managing director, is assisting the once-ailing chain in resurrecting its position as one of the High Street's most recognizable and dependable shops. Vinyl has seen a revival in popularity, with record sales in the 21st century hitting new heights last year - although many people are still suffering from'streaming exhaustion.' This, as well as a dramatic rise in cassette sales, that Mr Halliday says has left HMV'very optimistic' about the future, it's this. As a result of record-breaking sales, the company, which was once forced to close down stores and layoff employees, is now planning an exciting expansion into Europe and Canada.

In her tumultuous new love with Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift didn't appear too concerned about a whole stadium booing her.

Since being unable to balance their books, cash-ridden UK councils are being compelled to flog their products. Following news that it had become the seventh local authority to go bankrupt after failing to control its funds last week, Birmingham City Council made headlines last week. The Labour-led council reported in June that it had an equal pay balance between £650 million and £760 million, up from £5 million to £14 million a month, with the total debt expected to be more than £760 million. With 3,000 allegations against Cumberland, Glasgow, Dundee, and Fife councils, other local authorities are facing a slew of equal pay allegations that threaten to tilt their already struggling coffers even more. The GMB union is also suspected of receiving evidence for two new equal pay claims against an additional 20 councils, as follows: "We are finding difficulties everywhere we look.'

Peter Wilson found that the 'compact' city is now attracting more people than ever,' because it is where so many cruise ships go off to Alaska.'

Seattle is undoubtedly romantic,' Peter says, with glittering water all around.'

Her sister was a pioneering, trailblazing psychedelic singer of the 1960s. Her vocal stylings would forever influence pop music, as she performed a hit song with a gritty, blues-inspired tone. Her beauty was new too: she swept in a wave of hippie chick. She worked with Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead, as well as Tina Turner. Kris Kristofferson was dated by the actress. Though her music has a long history, this crooner died in her 20s, long before she understood her potential. This weekend, her sister attended a rare sighting to honor the hero. Who is she?

According to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the heirs of bassist Noel Redding (pictured top right image, left) and drummer Mitch Mitchell (far right) each man was owed 25% of the money earned by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, which began in 1966. Mr Hendrix's, who died in 1970 after a suspected heroin binge, made up the remaining 5 percent. Sony Music's court has pleaded guilty of profiting from unauthorised extraction, which infringes [Mr Redding and Mr Mitchell's] copyrights and performers' rights. [They] have not been paid for their service, and both have died in relative poverty.' Mr Redding and Mr Mitchell may have renounced their rights in the 1970s, according to a preliminary hearing.
