Stefan Lobuczek is a man from Birmingham who sometimes attends Birmingham UFO Group’s monthly meetings. He believes he and his family have experienced contact many years ago on multiple occasions. This report goes over these incidents in depth, and is partially based on detailed notes which he previously noted down.

White Light

Stefan was born in 1959. He grew up with his family in a house on Teignmouth Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham.

Photograph of the front of the property

While documenting his contact experiences he managed to track down a family photograph from 1965 taken in the back garden of the house (Stefan is the boy in pale blue shirt and white shorts):

As he held and looked at this photograph Stefan claims to have had a flashback to a very early experience from the year before the photo was taken when he was only 5 years old. He recalled standing alongside his elder brother, who was 7 at the time, in the garden in the middle of the night at the exact same spot as everyone was standing on the photo.

He had a vague recollection that it was him who had persuaded his brother to go outside and that he wanted to show him something important. He then remembered both of them suddenly being surrounded by an extremely bright light. He had no further recollection of the events that may have followed.

It is certainly possible that the flashback Stefan experienced was the beginning of a dual abduction of him and his brother. Due to the missing time phenomenon, it is possible for people to completely forget about contact experiences, sometimes for long periods of time. These missing memories can sometimes partially or even fully return when the individual sees or hears something related to the experience, which is what may have happened here.

Stefan’s recollection of persuading his brother to join him and head outside after dark to show him something important could mean a number of different things. It is possible he was under some form of mind control and did not know why he did this at the time, and for whatever reason the ETs wanted to take them both from the back garden (despite the fact that they can clearly take people inside buildings, as proven in many other contact experiences on record). Another possibility is that he had experienced contact before, and was aware that they had returned and wanted his brother to experience it with him this time around.

Witchcraft

In 1970 when he was 11 years old Stefan joined a youth club attached to St Edwards church. He used to go to the Sunday school and church service there, and was allowed to play football at the venue on Saturdays.

 One Sunday evening he returned home from the club and found a strange paperback book in the front room. It had pictures of strange creatures and words he could not read or understand. His elder brother and two younger sisters denied ownership of the book. He decided to take it upstairs to his room. He placed it on the bedroom floor and soon forgot about it.

Stefan’s room was a converted loft extension with a wooden staircase going up through his sisters shared bedroom. There was a single fluorescent tube illuminating the room and a big dormer window opening up onto the roof.

The night after taking the book up to his room he awoke in the middle of the night to hear strange noises which sounded like footsteps and a slow heart-beat. The room seemed to get very cold and he could feel a presence in the room which frightened him. He buried his head under the bedclothes. He tried to cry out for help but no sound came out. He felt as if red-hot eyes were piercing his body. In his mind he prayed for it to stop and eventually it went away.

The following morning Stefan awoke thinking that he’d just had a bad nightmare but when he met up with his best friend on the way to school something else occurred. His friend explained that he wanted to tell him something but then changed his mind. Eventually Stefan managed to get him to speak. His friend told him that he had been woken up in the night and that there was an evil presence which he had felt go past his house through the gully towards Stefan’s house!

What his friend has told him really played on his mind for the rest of the day. When it was time to go to bed that evening he did everything he could to avoid doing so. However, he didn't mention anything to his parents about what had happened as he thought they would not believe him.

He ran up the wooden stairs and flicked the switch for the fluorescent light as fast as possible. He got undressed, turned the light off and jumped into bed. Although he had a restless night nothing out of the ordinary happened.

By the following evening he had calmed down and started to wonder if the incident had indeed been nothing more than a bad dream. But once again he awoke in the night unexpectedly. This time he could feel himself being pushed into the bed. He was really terrified but it eventually went away and he dropped back off to sleep.

In the morning he noticed the paperback book that he had discovered lying on the floor to the side of the head end of the bed. It seemed to be lying at the exact position where he had felt the frightening presence on both occasions.

Later in the day he took the book to another friend’s house and showed it to him and his elder sister. His friend’s elder sister had previously been involved in witchcraft before becoming a born again Christian. She claimed that it was a witch’s spell book. Upon finding this out Stefan decided to burn the book page by page while praying. After doing so the unusual night time incidents appeared to cease.

At the time of these incidents Stefan’s youngest sister was five. Many years later she informed Stefan about remembering something strange around this time. She recalled waking up in the middle of the night to see an extremely bright white light shining through the curtains of her bedroom which lit everything up like it was daylight. She said she could hear people moving around the house. The following night nothing happened but she said that it then happened again the night after that.

While it cannot be ruled out that the two incidents Stefan experienced in his room were the result of the presence of the book this seems quite unlikely. You would have to believe that the book was somehow cursed, and wherever it was situated it would cause paranormal activity to occur. The incidents have aspects similar to those sometimes caused by hypnagogia and sleep paralysis, in which people feel they are held down by an invisible force, feel an evil presence in their proximity and sometimes hear or see unusual things.

Another possibility is that this was contact-related. The light his sister saw outside her own room could have been from a waiting craft, and the noises both her and Stefan heard was perhaps beings entering the property. Stefan would come to believe this himself much later on.

Lost Memories

In his mid-thirties for an unknown reason Stefan started to have vivid nightmares relating to his childhood experiences. This led to him becoming paranoid of the dark and being unable to sleep at night without the light on.

Soon he began to have flashbacks to other incidents he had seemingly completely forgotten about. He remembered at the age of five going into his parent’s room in the middle of the night shouting “Mummy! Daddy! There are strange people in my room, please make them go away!” His parents woke up, ushered him back to his room, turned on the light and reassured him that there was nothing there.

This seemed to lead on to him recollecting a later incident when he was 11 years old. On this occasion he was carried out onto the roof of the house through the big dormer window. He was then lifted up into the air in a beam of intense light.

He remembered lying unclothed on a shiny metal table with strange beings peering down at him. They were tall and thin with large black eyes, and seemed to float around. They reminded him of the “Pink Panther” but without a tail. He would later come to learn that these were Greys.

There were also shorter grey coloured beings which had very wrinkled faces and gave off a strong pungent odour which he finds hard to describe.

He caught a glimmer of a shiny metallic instrument being thrust towards him. This was followed by a burning sensation in his arm and the feeling of helplessness. Everything around him slowed down to a strobe like flicker. The taller being using the instrument on his arm was hurting him but he couldn’t cry out for it to stop.

In his mind he said to this being “I'm going to kill you.” In response the being stopped was it was doing. Stefan realised it had read his thoughts, which terrified him. In his mind he said “I don't mean I'm going to kill you but you are hurting me. When can I go home?” At this point he could feel a tremendous pressure in his head. He then heard the being’s voice in his head say “Soon.” This was the last thing he remembered of this incident.

In another flashback he remembered being taken along a corridor. The lighting was blue and concealed in the recess either side of the walk way. The walls narrowed to the ceiling. He ran his fingers along the wall. It felt smooth, metallic and cold

The corridor led to a dark holding area where he was left and the door was then closed. In the room were other children. He felt sick and very cold, and did not try to talk with the other children. They too did not speak with one another.

Stefan also recollected seeing a UFO/UAP with his parents. It was a hot summer’s day and he was mowing the lawn for his father. They all saw a bright light in the sky. Stefan claims that the UFO was apparently mentioned on the radio and in the newspaper many local people saw it. There were some close up sightings at Farmer Johns Farm less than ten minutes walk away from the house.

After the flashbacks Stefan interpreted the childhood night time incidents as some sort of memory block which had been put in place intentionally to hide the contact he was experiencing. He felt at peace again and put all of these incidents behind him.

These flashbacks are much more clearly linked with abduction experiences Stefan has undergone. The UFO he and his parents saw is also intriguing, although it did not look like a structured craft so may have had a mundane explanation, and was distant so does not appear to be linked directly with Stefan’s other experiences.

Sister’s Abduction

One day when talking with his youngest sister, Stefan found out that his other sister may have also been abducted. She said that she had informed her about a dream during her childhood of being on an operating table in a spacecraft. After hearing about this Stefan decided to ring her up and ask her if she could remember ever having this dream.

After hearing Stefan’s question his sister immediately hung up. About an hour later her husband rang back up and questioned him as to what he had said which had upset her so much. He did not inform him of what he had asked, he just apologized. Due to her reaction he has not spoken about it with her since.

Grandfather’s Missing Time

Stefan informed me that his dad mentioned another incident to him which his grandfather had experienced many years ago. He was apparently dating a girl in Poland at the time. One evening he walked her home to the farm that she lived on (Stefan is unaware of the precise location).

On the way back home he noticed a bright light in the forest he was passing. He went to investigate and suddenly found himself walking in the opposite direction. He turned back around and found that the light had now gone. When he checked his watch he’d apparently lost two hours of time.

It is common for multiple members of a family to experience contact, sometimes across numerous generations. It suggests that the ETs may be interested in family blood lines, studying or even manipulating genes over long periods of time.

Jester And Angel

A number of years later Stefan’s youngest sister informed him and his mother about another strange incident during the night at her own property. She said that she was woken up in the middle of the night whilst in bed with her husband. She could feel a chill in the room. The curtains were blowing about so she got up to close the window. However when she checked she found that the window was closed. She saw a funnel of wind which came towards her and went inside of her through her mouth.

She then suddenly found herself downstairs standing still with her arms outstretched. On her right-hand was an angel and on the left a jester. For an unknown reason she had to remember and say the Lord’s Prayer but was stumbling over the words.

When she eventually got the words correct the jester turned into a second angel. She then levitated backwards up the stairs and was thrown against the landing wall. The wind came back out of her and then she woke up in bed. The experience felt so real to her that she asked the local priest to come and bless her house.

This is a bizarre recollection of events which does not appear to have many direct links with contact. It seems probable that this was nothing more than a vivid nightmare featuring aspects brought on by his sister’s religious faith. It clearly made a big impression on her to the extent that she had the property blessed.

Conclusions

It seems clear from Stefan’s memories and flashbacks that he has experienced contact on multiple occasions during his childhood involving abductions and visitations. Many of the aspects he describes have been reported before by other experiencers. It also seems probable that other members of his family have also experienced contact around the same period of years. I would like to thank Stefan for passing the details of these events on to me to get them down on record.
