A sizable photograph in the London Evening News of September 19th, 1975, depicted the chairman of the British UFO Society, Mr. Rogers holding up the top of a bottle cooler discovered by an associate Mr. Lawrence, acquired in an Italian restaurant in London. Apparently the lid or shade of this device was similar in shape to the famous "Bell Shaped Scout spacecraft" photographed all the over the world and by the late George Adamski. Claiming disappointment and disillusionment, the implication was made that Adamski had used such a bottle cooler, constructed in Wigan, Lancashire, as the model for his pictures. Adamski skeptics and detractors, alongside a grateful Press greedily seized the opportunity to once again rush to judgment and debunk both Adamski and the entire subject.
However, on the September 20th broadcast of the BBC Radio News Magazine, a Mr. Frank Nicholson, a refrigerator engineer, came forward proving that he was the actual designer of the bottle cooler in question. Having designed it in 1959, at least six years after the first publication of the Adamski photographs, Nicholson contended that he actually used the Adamski photos as the inspiration for his invention and definitely not the other way around, as so erroneously and irresponsibly implied. Only two Papers were responsible enough to print retractions. On September 23rd issue of the Daily Mirror printed, " The famous flying saucer picture is not a fake at all." And the September 22 issue of the Bristol Evening Post ran, " Down to Earth with a bang." So while some would still like to conveniently recall only half of this story, or imply some ridiculous correlation between a water cooler and the Adamski three dimensional spacecraft photos, analyzed to be at least 33 feet in circumference, no such correlation has ever had any basis in reality or fact.
