I keep in touch with many of the experiencers I have spoken with over the years. In February 2026 abductee Tina Bird got in touch with me via Facebook Messenger to inform me that a man who used to be one of her neighbours back in the 1970s had got in contact with her out of the blue to inform her about an incident he had experienced as a child.

I reached out to the man, who I shall call “Simon”. He passed on some brief details about what took place. Unfortunately, this is where our communication ceased, and I have been unable to get answers to my additional questions. However, I have decided to release this report anyway in case other witnesses come forward off the back of it.

Back in the 1970s Simon and Tina both lived on Knighton Road , Woolston, Southampton. Simon confirmed he lived 4/5 houses up the road from Tina.

Simon claims that one summer’s evening he was in the house with all of the windows open due to the temperature. He climbed down off his captain’s bed because he could hear a strange loud sound coming from the nearby vicinity which he assumed was a UFO. In his message to me Simon described the sound as “like what you hear on an old movie”, which could of course be interpreted in a number of ways.

He went around every window and pulled himself up but couldn’t see anything. As he stumbled around he remembers stubbing his toe. He remembers thinking “Why is no one else awake?”

Simon says that he knows it must have taken place as the following morning he had a blood encrusted toe and there was blood on the bed sheets.

It is obviously hard to analyse this case with such basic details. As Simon did not actually see anything which was causing the sound there is of course the possibility that it was being caused by nearby electrical equipment or machinery being utilised after dark. Perhaps the reason why nobody else had woken up was just because of how deeply they were asleep at the time as opposed to something more unusual.

I hope that in the future Simon gets back to me and I can add some additional details to this case. If you have any information regarding what happened please get in touch.
