Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 16/01/2012 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used and certain experiences ommitted The Regression I decided that due to the level of detail of Morgane’s experience, and the fact that she appeared to have missing memories, it would be a good idea to focus on the Nordic abduction. On Saturday 24th September Morgane and her husband Arthur travelled from their home in France to Birmingham specifically for the regression. I took her to the home of the hypnotherapist I currently work with. After briefly discussing some of her experiences, Morgane underwent the regression. Below is the transcript of this regression with the names changed and certain key points removed for privacy reasons. J: Now Morgane, what I’d like you to do is take some nice deep breaths and listen to the music. And I’ll turn the music off and then we’ll proceed. Just relax. Relax, just relax. Tops of your shoulders here, as you exhale relax. The tiny muscles on your forehead, around your eyes, as you exhale let go, relax. You’re doing fine. If your eyes want to close do so, there’s no rush, there’s no time limit, this is for you. The muscles in your face, in your jaw, exhale and allow the tension to release, let go. That’s it, you’re doing fine. The muscles across your shoulders and your back, as you exhale let go, relax. Any thoughts that may come into your head I want you to put them into a big box, a big heavy box, let all the thoughts, any issues, any problems, any stress that you have in your life, I want you to place it, them all into this box. Place them in the box. Anything that may come up in this session from your current life, I want you to put it all into this box. And when you’ve done that I want you to put the lid on. It’s a big sturdy lid. And if need be put a heavy object on top of this lid, and to move it away from you, so that no actual thoughts are going to disturb this session, so that we are totally focused on this session. Ok. Now the muscles across your shoulders and your upper back, as you exhale let go and relax. The muscles of your middle back, as you exhale let it go, let it go, relax. Then the muscles of your lower back and your stomach, this is where we have a lot of tension, now is the time for that tension and anxiety to be released, to be released. And as you exhale let go and relax. That’s fine, that’s really good. Just breathe, even deep breaths, enable the tension to go. The muscles of your back, and your buttocks, and your thighs, again a lot of tension in those, and as you exhale just allow it to release, let go, let go, and relax. That’s great, you’re really doing really really well. Just breathe even deep breaths. Muscles of your lower legs, exhale, relax and let go. Let go of all that stress, all that tension, it just dissipates. Now the muscles of your feet, exhale, let that tension go. You’re doing really well, really well. And ever breath, every last bit of tension, relax, completely at ease now, continue to breathe peacefully and freely. This is for you Morgane. This is your time, all of it. That’s good, that’s good. When you’re ready, whenever you’re ready, we’re going to release the tension in your arms. Exhale and let it go. And your upper arms, and your lower arms, and your hands, however they feel now, sinking absolutely calm and relaxed. That’s good, perfect. And the noises inside of the room, and the noises outside of the room will help you to relax even more, even more. I want you to imagine yourself at the top of ten steps. Looking down these ten steps and there’s a huge wooden door at the end. You’re standing at the top of ten steps. And I want you to imagine yourself within a white sphere of protection. You’re inside it, it’s above your head and below your feet. And if you were to stretch your arms out to your left and to your right you couldn’t touch the sides of this powerful white sphere. This is your protection, you are safe, you know it, you feel it, and that’s really really good. Now I want you to imagine little roots, little tendrils, growing out of your heels, and out from your coccyx at the end of your spine also there’s a root there, and it goes down, down, down, growing down through the subsoil, down, down, down into the rocks of the earth. And those little tendrils lock you into the rocks of the earth so you’re fully grounded while we go about our business. So you’re now standing at the top of the ten steps. You have your sphere of protection, and you’re fully grounded. You are completely safe, calm, comfortable and relaxed. Now I want you to take your first step down into the peace and tranquillity. That’s good, that’s fine. And take the second step down. And the third step down, feeling calm, comfortable and relaxed. Completely at ease, completely protected, completely grounded. And step number four, down you go to step number four. And step number five. Half way down towards the huge wooden door now. Relaxed and at ease, protected and grounded, protected and grounded. Step number six. Take step number six down, down. And number seven, down you go to number seven. Look at the size of the door in front of you as you continue down those steps, down those steps. Step number eight. Going down  into peace and tranquillity, down into peace and tranquillity. And then step number nine. And step ten. You’re standing in front of the huge wooden door, calm, comfortable and relaxed, completely at ease, fully protected and fully grounded, fully grounded. And in a moment I will ask you to go through the door. But before I do this I will tell you what’s on the other side. It’s just a neutral room, that’s all it is, just a neutral room. So when you’re ready, I’d like you to open the door and step through, and close the door behind you. Step through into the neutral room. And when you’re there perhaps you’ll nod and let me know. M:  (Nods) J: Thank you, ok. Very shortly I’m going to speak to Morgane’s subconscious mind, and I’ll be speaking to her subconscious mind as if I’m speaking to another person. I don’t want you to think about my questions, nor consider your answers, just give them as quickly as they come. I’m going to count to three, snap my fingers, and when I snap my fingers your subconscious mind will present itself as a shape, a colour, a picture, or a symbol. One, two, three.

M: And then they are at the foot of bed. J: They’ve picked up the bed? M: No they’re at the foot of my bed. J: They’re at the foot of your bed. M: They seem to be communicating together. J: Right, so they seem to be communicating. And there’s  two of them at the foot of your bed. M: Yeah. J: Communicating. Are they looking down at you? M: Yeah. J: And you’re looking up at them? M: Mhmm yeah. J: Are they communicating with their eyes to you? M: No. Afterwards. No they’ve turned round to... J: And what are they saying to you? M: Uh, they’re saying. No they’re saying to each other. J: What are they saying to each other Morgane? M: “Yes, this way she won’t get lost again.” J: Right. So you won’t get lost again? M: Yeah. J: Ok. And what do you feel that means? What’s the feeling you get from them expressing that? M: I think they’ve put something in my body somewhere. J: Can you ask them that question? And what’s the answer you get back? M: I think, yes. J: You think yes. M: Yeah. J: Can you communicate with them and ask them that question? M: Yes. J: And what reply do you get? M: Yes. J: And why have they done that? M: So they can communicate with me. J: So they’ve put a device in you so they can communicate...so you can communicate with them and they can communicate with you? M: Not to lose me. J: And not to lose you? Is that right? M: Yeah. J: Ok. Are you hearing them...with the device can you sense that there is a stronger communication link with them? M: Yes. J: Can you describe the change, the difference? M: Umm they have to think something they know. J: Right. So there’s a stronger telepathic link. M: Yeah. J: Right. So what are you saying to them and what are they saying back to you Morgane? M: One of the beings is going out, he’s going out. J: Mhmm. M: Ah, there’s a door that opens. J: What can you see? M: He’s going through, towards the left. J: Right. M: Umm the other one is staying with me. He’s staying with me. I think I have to go. J: Why do you feel that Morgane? M: Because he’s the one who took the samples. J: Right. Which samples did he take? M: Something in my stomach. In my...somewhere. J: So you’ve had samples taken out of your stomach? M: From my body. J: From your body. M: And he knows that I didn’t like it. J: He knows you didn’t like it. M: I embarrassed him. J: You’re embarrassed? M: He’s embarrassed? J: He is embarrassed. Right. And how is he expressing that embarrassment? M: It shows on his face. J: Shows on his face. So he has an expression? M: Yes. J: You can read that expression? M: Yes. He can’t hide it. J:  He can’t hide it. Is he talking to you telepathically? M: Yes. J: And what is he saying to you? M: He’s saying that he’s not as bad, that he’s not worse than the other one. (inaudible) His work, he didn’t hurt me. He didn’t do it to hurt me. J: So this being is telling you he didn’t hurt you and he’s only doing his job? M: Yeah. J: Right. And what do you say back to him? M: Yes. I said to him I don’t understand. J: That you don’t understand, ok. And what happens next Morgane? M: The other being comes in. J: Mhmm. The other being comes in, and what does he do? M: There’s a man returning towards me, returning to me, looking at me. And the being comes to my right, and he offers me a cup. J: So he offers...this other being comes back into the room, comes to your left of you and offers you a cup? M: My right. J: Oh of course, to the right. Right. Comes to the right of you and offers you a cup? M: Mhmm. J: And what is the cup like? Can you describe the cup? And is there anything in it? M: It’s like a chalice. J: Like a chalice, yeah.

J: Right. You take the chalice and... M: Yes. J: Is it light or is it heavy? M: Light, it’s light. J: It’s light. And what’s inside? M: There’s a liquid. J: There’s a liquid. Does the liquid have a colour? M: No. J: No. It’s colourless. Does it have a smell? M: No. J: No smell. Is it hot or is it cold? Can you tell... M: It’s just not too hot, not cold. It’s not nice. J: It’s not nice. M: Doesn’t taste of anything. J: Doesn’t taste of anything. Do they ask you to drink it? M: Yes. J: Do they tell you why you need to drink it? M: No. J: No. And you obey him completely? M: Yes. J: Do you feel you’ve got a choice? M: Oh I feel it’s something special. J: Oh it’s a gift is it? M: Yes. J: Excellent. M: It’s like. Yes, it’s something special. J: Something special. That’s nice to have that, something special, isn’t it? And do they...do they communicate in any way to you further? What else do they say? M: I drink some of it... J: Mhmm M: They’re telling me to stop. “That’s enough” they say. J: Oh right. M: “That’s enough.” I hand back the cup. J: You give back the cup, yeah. M: And the being takes it away again. J: Mhmm. M: Leaves me on my own again. Now. J: So you’re on your own... M: Not straight away. J: Mmm. And what do you do when you’re on your own? M: No I’m not on my own ever, totally. J: You’re never totally on your own, ok. M: The being is telling me, the being on the left starts to talk to me. J: Right. And what’s he saying? M: He’s telling me what they’re doing. J: He’s telling you what they’re doing. M: They want to be friends. J: They want to be friends. M: Yes. J: What is he saying they were doing on you. M: He’s not talking about that anymore. J: Ok. M: I don’t know. J: What do they talk to you about? M: They’re looking at me. J: They’re looking at you. And what happens next Morgane?

J: Someone comes to meet you. And what happens next? M: Err they came to see me. J: Someone came to see you yeah. And where are they taking you? M: That it’s time to go I can’t stay anymore. J: No it’s time to go, that’s right. And at that point I’d like you to do now is go back to that neutral room, back into the light, the subdued light of the natural neutral room, and know that what you’ve just done and been through has just been memories. You haven’t moved from this bed, so make yourself across to that huge wooden door, open it and step through, and close the door behind you. You’re going to come back up, up, up the steps slowly and gently. Ten to nine, eight, seven, six. And bring all those things, all those memories back. Five, four, three, two, one. You’re back at the top of the steps. Now Morgane, in your own time, in your own way, I want you to come back to this room, revived, refreshed and at ease. And I want you to take as long as it needs to come back. I want you to thank your subconscious mind from the bottom of your heart for this important work that it’s carried out today. Perhaps you’ve done that already. And when you’re ready in your own good time, in your own good way, come back to the room, feeling revived, refreshed, at ease and at peace.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Originally forwarded by Richard Hall Release Date: 04/09/2011 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Regression Transcript Part Two I felt that the red sphere incident would be another good incident to look at during the regression. There was a close encounter with a UFO followed by a verified period of missing time. This was a good indicator that something more had taken place and that there were possible lost memories which could be retrieved. Laura also felt that this incident was related to the birth of her son, and wanted to know if this was the case or not. Just as with the first incident we explored, Laura had a stunning recollection of what took place, describing everything in a good level of detail. Below is the second half of the regression transcript, along with several drawings that Laura did afterwards to illustrate what she remembered from it: R: Now two years after that incident, you were living in Dagenham. L: Yes. R: And what happened in November 83 in Dagenham, can you remember? Tell me about it. L: I wasn’t very well. R: You were not too well? L: I had the flu. R: Ok. L: I felt terrible. R: You felt terrible and you had the flu, mhmm. L: Headache, and a sore throat. R: Headache and sore throat. L: And my tummy hurt. R: Yes. L: I went up to bed and stayed in bed all day. R: Mhmm. L: It was Thursday so Top Of The Pops was going to be on, and I wanted to watch it. R: Top Of The Pops was going to be on and you wanted to see it, I understand. So what did you do? L: I told Joseph... R: Yes. L: To wake me... R: Ok. L: When it was going to be on. R: So you asked Joseph to wake you when it was going to be on so you could see your favourite programme, is that right? L: Yes. R: Ok. And did he wake you at the appropriate time? L: Yes. R: And what happened then? L: I got out of bed. R: Mhmm. L: And I was putting my dressing gown on. R: Got out of bed and put your dressing gown on, yes. L: And I saw a light where there shouldn’t have been a light. R: You saw a light where there shouldn’t have been a light. Tell me, were your curtains closed at this time? L: Yeah. R: They were closed and you could see a light through the curtains, is that correct? L: Yes. R: Ok. So what did you do? L: I opened the curtains. R: Uh-huh, you opened the curtains. L: There shouldn’t have been a light there. R: There was a light there. What colour was the light? L: It was red. R: A red light. How big was this red light Laura? L: It was really really big. R: Really really big. Did you have to look up, or was it on a level, or did you look down on this light? L: I had to look up a little bit. R: You had to look up a little bit. It was really big. How close was this red light do you think? L: It was at the end of the garden. R: The end of the garden, as close as that? L: Yes. It was at the end of the garden. About thirty foot I think. R: So you’ve got this big red light, thirty foot at the end of the garden, and you had to look slightly up to see it, is that correct? L: Yes. It was about fifteen foot across. R: Fifteen foot across. L: I’m not very good at judging sizes. R: That’s fine, you’re doing very well. Was this light circular or was it a different shape? L: It was a ball of red light. R: A ball of red light as you looked at it. L: Yeah. R: And could you see any detail behind the red light? L: No. R: No, it was just a red ball, a massive red light, coming, the light was coming in your direction? L: Yeah. R: Was there anything else illuminated in the gardens of the other houses by this light? L: No. R: No, ok. And what happened next? L: There’s someone in the room. R: There was someone in the room. And you’ve got your eyes open, you’re still looking at the red light? L: Yeah. R: Where was this someone in the room? L: It was down and behind me. R: Behind you, you were aware of someone behind you. L: Yes. R: So what did you do? L: Turned round for a second. R: Turned round for a second. And what did you see when you looked behind you? L: It’s like a little man. R: Like a little man. L: Like a little man. R: How many? L: He didn’t have any clothes on. R: He didn’t have any clothes on. L: No. R: It was just the one was it? L: Yeah. R: Ok. How tall was he would you say, this little man? L: Umm, maybe about five foot, he was just a little bit shorter than me. R: I understand. Tell me about his head and his face, could you do that. This is just a memory, you’re perfectly safe. Tell me about his head and his face. L: Got a really big head. R: A really big head, mhmm. L: It looks funny. R: It looks funny? L: Mmm. R: Mhmm. L: It wasn’t scary, he looks funny. R: He doesn’t look scary, he looks funny. Tell me how he looks funny Laura. What makes you tell me he looks funny? L: His head’s too big for his body. R: His head’s too big for his body. And it’s the proportions that makes you think he looks funny? L: Yeah. Like a dwarf only not, too thin to be a dwarf. R: He’s too thin. L: Like a big, big head and a tiny little body. R: Ok, he’s got a big head and a tiny body. L: Mmm. R: Tell me... L: Really long arms. R: Really long arms. What colour is he would you say? What colour is he? He’s got no clothes on, perhaps you’d tell me his colour? L: Well I haven’t got the light on, but he looks, it looks like his skin’s a kinda greeny-bluey colour. R: Greeny-blue, that’s fine. Tell me all you can about his head and his face. L: He’s got a really big head and massive eyes. R: A really big head and massive eyes. What shape would you describe his eyes? L: Umm... R: As best you can. L: They’re I suppose oval. R: That’s fine thank you. Big oval eyes. Have they pupils? L: No they’re just black. R: The big oval eyes are black, have I got that correctly? L: Yes, big oval black eyes. R: Big oval black eyes. L: No colour. R: No colour, ok. What about his nose? L: He doesn’t seem to have one. R: Doesn’t seem to have a nose, ok. What about his mouth? L: Little tiny mouth. R: Little tiny mouth. L: It looks silly on the rest of him. R: It looks silly on the rest of him. Has he any ears that you can see? L: None that I can see, not on the outside. R: That’s fine. Does he have hair this little chap? L: No. R: No. So he’s about five foot tall, his head is disproportionately large to his body... L: Yeah. R: He’s got oval dark eyes with no pupils... L: Yeah. R: No nose, or not one that you can see, and a tiny mouth, is that correct? L: Yeah. R: That’s fine. What about his neck, can you see his neck? L: It doesn’t look strong enough to hold his head. R: Not strong enough, good gracious. L: It looks really small. R: It looks really small, ok. L: Looks really funny. R: Really funny. L: I want to laugh. R: You want to laugh. L: Yeah, I’m trying not to laugh at him. He looks so funny. R: He looks so funny. And his arms are very long arms. L: Yeah. R: Could you tell me about his hands, can you see his hands in this light? L: Really really long fingers. R: Really long fingers. Can you count them for me? L: There’s just three. R: Three long fingers. L: Really long fingers. R: Has he another digit? L: No just three long fingers. R: Three long fingers. Has he an opposable thumb? L: I can’t see one. R: That’s fine, that’s fine, ok. What about his legs? L: They’re really thin and spindly. R: Really thin and spindly. L: They don’t look strong enough to hold him up. R: Ok. L: Especially with that big head. R: This might be difficult for you, but in the darkness can you see this chaps feet at all? You described the hands very well but can you describe the feet to me? L: No. R: That’s fine, that’s fine. What about the part that you can see, below his chin, and above the top of his legs. What can you see there on this little chap? L: Umm...his body. R: Mhmm. L: He’s got no belly button, or any nipples or anything, it’s just... R: He has no navel or nipples, he’s just... L: Just a body. R: Just a body. Does he have a badge or insignia anywhere that you can see? L: No. 📷 R: That’s fine, ok. You’re looking at him and he’s looking at you. And you think he looks funny... L: Yeah. R: Because he’s so out of proportion. L: Yes. He’s like Mr Potato Head. R: Mr Potato Head. And he’s in your bedroom. L: Yes. R: And is the red light still behind you at this point? L: Yes. R: You’re looking at this little chap... L: Yeah. R: And he’s looking at you. Does he blink at all Laura? L: No. R: Does he blink, no? L: No. It’s like he’s wearing glasses or something. R: It’s like he’s wearing glasses, I see. And you continue to stare at each other? L: Yeah. R: Then what happens? L: He said I’ve got to go with him. R: He’s there and you’ve got to go with him. How do you know, how do you know you’ve got to go with him? L: I don’t know, I just hear him and he doesn’t... his mouth doesn’t move. R: You hear him but his mouth doesn’t move, have I got that correct? L: Yeah. R: Thank you. So he wants you to go with him. L: Yes. R: And what does happen? L: I ask him why should I...why should I go with him. R: You ask him why should you go with him, and do you get a response? L: He said I have to. R: You have to. L: He said it’s important, I have to go. R: Do you see the impression it’s important you have to go with him? L: Yeah. I...I don’t want to go, and I said I want to go and watch Top Of The Pops. R: You don’t want to go with this little chap. L: I won’t get to see Top Of The Pops if I go with him. I laughed at him. R: You’re laughing at this chap are you? Of course you are. L: I’m telling him “I want to go watch Top Of The Pops, I don’t want to go with you!” R: You’ve got the flu, and you want to do what you want to do. L: Whatever. I’m not well, I’m all stuffed up, I just want to go watch Top Of The Pops and go back to bed and go back to sleep, and I just want him to go away and leave me alone. R: That does happen. What happens? Just take it slowly, slowly as you like, and tell me what happens next. L: He says “Well you’re coming whether you want to or not”. And I say “Well who’s going to make me, you don’t look like you can make me. You’re not...you’re not big enough to make me, get out of here ‘cause I’m not coming”. I don’t know how he’s doing that, but I’m floating. R: You don’t know how he’s doing it but you’re floating? Are you floating vertically, or are you tipped over onto your back? L: No, I’m vertical, I’m floating. R: Could you explain to me how you feel suddenly about floating. L: I’m angry, ‘cause I just want him to go away, I want him to go away and leave me alone so I can go and watch Top Of The Pops and go back to bed and go back to sleep, I don’t want to be floating! I’m not supposed to float, if I was supposed to float I’d have wings! I just want him to go away. R: Does he go away? L: No. R: You’re still floating I take yes? L: Yeah. R: How far above the ground floating are you would you guess? L: Umm probably about six inches off the ground. R: Alright, and you’re still looking at this little old gentleman? L: Yeah. R: Uh-huh. L: I...I’m outside and I’m up in the air going...but my window wasn’t open, how did I get through the window? R: Well just go back to thinking about yourself looking at the little old gentleman in the room. You were a little bit angry ‘cause you wanted to watch Top Of The Pops. And he said you had to go with him. So how did he make you go with him when you were floating six inches above the carpet? What happened? Just take it slowly and remember. L: The window’s all shimmery. R: The window’s all shimmery, yes? L: Like, like when there’s a fire and then the heat coming up and it’s all shimmery above the fire, like that. R: That’s how it looks to you does it? L: Yeah, the window’s gone all shimmery. R: Are you looking outwards, now out from your room outwards? L: He’s turned me around. R: He’s turned you around while you were floating I take it? L: Yeah. R: You’re looking at the window and it’s shimmery. L: It’s all shimmery. R: And then what happens? L: I’m outside and I’ve gone through where it was all shimmery and it felt weird. R: It felt weird. L: It felt weird as I went through. R: Explain to me how it went weird when you went through. L: It was like...like the window and the wall turned to treacle, like walking through treacle. R: Like walking through treacle, that’s how it felt? L: Yeah. R: You felt that against your body did you? L: Yeah. R: Ok. L: But I go through it and it was still there, and the window’s still shut as I went through it. R: You actually went through it, do you feel? L: Yeah. R: Mhmm. L: And now I’m scared ‘cause I’m up in the air, and there’s nothing underneath me just the garden way down there. R: So this is the first time you’ve been scared, is that correct? L: Yeah. And I’m scared ‘cause I think I’m gonna fall. R: Uh-huh. L: Like in the cartoons when they run off a cliff and they get so far and they suddenly realise there’s no ground and then they just drop. R: Yes, and you’re frightened of that. L: It feels like it’s kind of like that. I’m going up. R: You’re going up. L: Towards the red light. R: Yes. Can you see any more of the red light as you get closer? L: It’s just getting bigger and bigger. R: Mhmm. L: I can’t see any windows or doors or any way of getting in there. It’s just there. R: When you say the red light, that’s all you can see, the red light, ok. L: It’s just there. R: It’s just there. L: Just hanging there. And I’m going towards it. I’m trying to figure out how I can get in there ‘cause there’s no door. R: Yes. L: Umm now it’s open. The bit in front of me has gone all shimmery like the window did. R: Oh I see. Yes ok. L: And then I’m inside. R: Uh-huh. Did the elderly gentleman come with you? L: No...no I’m on my own. R: You’re on your own ok. And when you go inside what’s the first thing that you see? L: Umm...there’s a table. R: Mhmm. L: I do not know the type of table, I don’t know. It’s like one of those things you get in the doctors surgery when he needs you to lie down so he can examine you. R: Oh you just hop up on the couch, one of those? L: Yeah. It’s not flat, it’s partially raised up so you would be sitting not lying. R: Yes I understand. L: Umm... R: Can you see what it’s made out of? L: The bottom part seems to be some kind of metal. Umm the tops covered in err well it looks like a sheet of some kind, but it fits round it perfectly, it’s not hanging down or anything. R: I understand. This room, has this room any particular colour? L: White. R: Is it a particular shape? L: It’s white. It’s oblong. R: It’s oblong this room, and it’s all white, is that correct? L: It’s all white. R: Ok. Is there anything else that draws your attention, looking round this room, besides the couch? L: No it’s just the couch, there’s nothing else there. R: There’s nobody else in here with you? L: No, just me. R: Just your good self. L: Just me. R: And how do you feel, being on here just by yourself? L: Scared. R: Scared now? L: ‘Cause I don’t know why I had to go there. R: Yes. L: Why he made me go. R: Mhmm. See what happens. L: Umm...felt like I was there for a long time. R: It felt like you were there alone for a long time. L: Yeah. R: Mhmm. L: I was getting more scared ‘cause I thought I was trapped. R: You thought you were trapped and that made you even more scared, I understand, yes. L: Yeah. And then a door opens. R: A door opens. Was it a door as we would understand it? L: No. It was...like you would get on Star Trek where it just kind of... R: Uh-huh. L: Slides... R: Yes ok. Did the noise, if there was a noise, or the sudden appearance of the door, did that startle you? L: Yes. R: Ok. L: I had looked there before, there was no door but... 📷 R: Ok. Suddenly there’s a door. L: Yes. It opened and then it gets even brighter, it’s a really bright light outside the door. R: I take it from what you say light comes flooding in from outside, the other side of the door, yes? L: Yes. R: Is the light the same as the white light is it, or is it a different colour? L: No it’s white. R: It’s white again, ok. L: A really really bright white light. R: A bright light yes. And then what happens? L: It’s like a man, but it’s not a man. R: It’s like a man, but not a man. L: It’s really tall. R: Mhmm. How tall is really tall Laura? L: Much taller than me. Six foot, maybe more. Six foot. R: It’s like a man, but not a man. What makes him not a man? L: He’s green. R: He’s green. L: And his skin’s all like scaly like a lizard. R: Ok. So this man is green, he’s got skin like a lizard, he’s six foot tall. Has he got clothes on? L: No. No he’s not. R: Tell me about his head, and his face if you would. This is just a memory, you’re just remembering what he looked like. Tell me about his head and his face. L: Umm...big eyes, not as big as the other thing, not like Mr Potato Head, they’re smaller but they’re the same shape. R: Big oval eyes. Have they got a specific colour? L: They seem to be orange. R: They seem to be orange. L: It’s...it’s hard to see them. R: That’s ok. So he has big orange oval eyes. L: Mmm got black bit in the middle, but it’s not round like ours it’s...it’s a line. R: It’s a line. A black bit. A vertical pupil, do I understand you correctly? L: Yeah. R: Yes. L: Very big orange eyes. R: Big orange eyes with a vertical pupil. What about his nose? L: Umm, nose doesn’t stick out, I can just see a little bit. R: Mhmm. Right ok. Does he have two nostrils? L: Yes. R: He has two nostrils. L: They’re big and kind of wide out. R: Big and kind of wide out, that’s good. L: Yeah. R: What about this chap’s mouth? L: Kind of sticks out like...like a monkey. R: Sticks out like a monkey ok. L: But he’s not got any lips, his mouth’s just a...just a line. R: His mouth sticks out, yes ok. L: It’s like the front part of his face where his mouth would be, it kind of sticks out like a monkey’s face. R: Has this chap got ears? L: No, there’s just like...looks like a hole each side where the ears should be. R: Ok. Now in comparison to the elderly gentleman, is this fellow in proportion? L: Yeah. He’s got really big muscles. R: He’s got really big muscles, yes. L: He’s got spiky bits on his shoulders like can’t explain. R: Spiky bits. Do they stick up vertically these spiky bits on his shoulders? L: Yeah. R: How many of them are there? Don’t struggle. L: There’s three on each shoulder. R: Three spiky bits on each shoulder. Are they the same length? L: Umm..no the one on the outside of his...on the edge of his shoulder... R: Yes. L: Not as long as the others, it’s shorter. The next ones bigger than the right hand one, then the next one’s shorter again. R: Do these grow out of his body or are they some kind of fitting? L: They seem to be part of him. R: Are they...what colour are they can you tell me? L: Dark green. R: Dark green ok. And he’s very muscular. L: Yeah. R: Are his arms muscular? L: Yeah. R: His chest? L: Yeah. R: His stomach? L: Yeah. R: Tell me about his legs. L: Umm his legs are muscular too. R: Can you see his feet? L: Kind of...they look like...like frogs feet. R: They look like frogs feet, I understand. When you compare these feet to his hands, what do his hands look like? L: Umm big. R: Big hands. L: Long fingers. R: Long fingers. L: Very very long. Fingers are obviously too big for his hands. R: Fingers look too big for his hands. Does he have nails on the end? L: Big claws. R: Big claws. How many fingers does he have? L: Umm four, but ones higher up like a thumb but... R: Ok. L: I’m not sure if it is a thumb or not. R: That’s fine, thank you for that. Does he have what we might consider jewellery or fittings anywhere on him? L: No. R: No. L: No nothing. R: No emblems... L: No. R: That you can see? No uniform? Does he have any genitalia? L: I can’t see any. R: That’s fine. Are you straight onto this chap, making eye contact? L: Yes. R: You can’t see behind him if he has a tail? L: No. R: No, that’s ok. So you’re looking at him straight ahead. L: Yeah. R: And what happens next? L: I ask him why are they here, why have you brought me here? Err, he said we needed to. And I said why? And I started getting angry and I started shouting, and I was telling them “I’m not well, I don’t want to be here, I want to go and watch Top Of The Pops, I want to go back to sleep, I’ve got a headache and I don’t feel well”. R: Yes. L: And I’m angry, and I punch him. But he won’t let me get near him. R: How’s he stopping you getting near him? L: He’s holding up his hand. R: Both hands? L: Just one. R: Which hand is he holding up Laura? L: Right hand. R: Right hand. L: He’s just holding up his right hand. I can’t get near him. I don’t know, I don’t know, I can’t get near him no matter how much I try to get near him. R: So you’re getting a good look at his palm, tell me about his palm. L: His palm is lighter colour than the rest. R: Mhmm. L: It’s still covered in the scales, it’s normal. R: Ok. L: But it’s lighter coloured. R: You’re still angry because you’re unwell... L: Yeah. R: You didn’t want to come here, you wanted to watch your TV programme. L: Yeah. R: And he’s got his right hand held out in front of him towards you, and you can’t get anywhere near him. L: Yeah. R: So what happens? L: I tell him to get on with what he’s got to do or send me home. R: You tell him to get on with what he’s going to do or send you home. L: Yeah I say get off me, if you’re going to do something do it or send me home, don’t just keep me stuck here like this. Do something or send me home! R: Right. You leave him that clear message. L: And he told me that he couldn’t until I calm down, I have to calm down. R: He couldn’t do what? L: Couldn’t do what he needed to do. R: And what is it that he needs to do? L: I don’t know, he won’t say, he just said he can’t do what he needs to do ‘cause I’m angry, he can’t do it while I’m angry. R: You’re very angry. L: I am. R: Just breathe, just breathe, there’s no rush. Just breathe. You’re angry with him, you asked him to get on with what he’s going to do or send you back home... L: Yeah. R: He said that you’d have to calm down. L: Yeah. R: Did you calm down? L: I told him if he wanted me to calm down he’d have to tell me what he wanted. R: I see. L: I wasn’t very polite. I’m sorry but I swore at him. R: You swore at him? L: Swore. R: And did you notice shock on his face when you swore at him? L: No. R: No? L: He thought it was funny. R: He thought it was funny because you were swearing at him. L: Yes. R: Ok. L: He knew I couldn’t do anything. All he had to do was hold his hand up and I couldn’t get to him. R: I understand. L: And then well tell...tell me what you need to do and then I’ll calm down. R: Mhmm. And did he tell you? L: He wouldn’t tell me. R: He wouldn’t tell you. L: I shouted out “Well bloody well tell me what you want, or put me back home, but fucking well do something ‘cause I’m not here for the fucking good of my health am I. I’ve got a headache and I’m not well and I want to go back to bed!” (Distressed) R: That’s ok, just breathe for me, this is a memory, you’re remembering the anger that you felt. You don’t need to remember the anger, just remember what happened. That’s better. That’s good. So you’re swearing at him, you’re shouting at him, he’s holding his hand up, it appears to you that he thinks it’s funny. L: Yeah, he seems to be laughing. And that just makes me more angry. R: I can understand that. L: I don’t like being laughed at. R: You don’t like being laughed at, no. L: I don’t like being laughed at and they always seem to laugh at me. They always seem to think I’m pathetic. R: Who’s they? L: Everyone. My mum, my dad, my brother and sister especially, everyone’s always laughing at me and telling me what an idiot I am. R: That makes you angry? L: Yeah ‘cause I’m not an idiot. R: Do you swear at them? L: Yes, apart from my mum. I don’t dare swear at her. R: No. L: It makes me so mad, everyone thinks I’m such an idiot, I’m not. R: Of course you aren’t. L: I’ve spent enough time telling them I’m not an idiot, still they laugh at me. No matter what I do they laugh. Now they’re laughing, he’s laughing. R: That makes you even more angry. L: Nearly all of my family laugh, now he’s laughing, and he don’t even know me. R: You said he doesn’t even know you. Do you recognise him? Does he seem in the least familiar to you? L: No. R: No, that’s ok. L: I don’t recognise him. R: No that’s fine, that’s ok. So what happens? L: Umm...the door opened again. R: Yes. L: The funny man came in. R: Yes. L: Mr Potato Head. R: Mr Potato Head. L: I couldn’t get over it, I had to laugh, ‘cause he’s just so funny, that big big head and that tiny little neck and his teeny little legs. R: So you’re laughing? L: I’m laughing now. It’s so funny. I feel rude for laughing, I can’t help but laugh. R: It’s ok. What a change of emotions. From being angry to laughing at this little chap. L: So funny. R: Is the...is the taller one still there? L: Yeah. R: And what is he doing now, has he put his hand down? L: Yeah. Umm...he’s waiting for me to stop laughing now. R: He’s waiting for you to stop laughing. Are you? L: I asked him again why has he brought me, why...why has he brought me there. R: Mhmm. Do you hear his response? L: Yeah. R: What do you hear? L: He says he wouldn’t have brought me when I was ill if it wasn’t really important. R: He wouldn’t have brought you here if it wasn’t really important because you were ill. L: Yeah. R: Mhmm. L: He said he would have preferred to wait a bit till I were better. R: Right. L: But then the dates would be wrong. R: The dates. L: Yeah. R: What do you understand by him saying the dates? L: I didn’t know what he meant and then I asked. R: Ok. L: I asked what he meant and he said “Your baby has to be born on the right day”. R: Your baby has to be born on the right day, yes. L: And I asked him what baby, “I said I’m not pregnant, how will my baby be born when I’m not even pregnant?” R: Yes. L: And then he said “You will be. You will be, and that’s why you needed to come here, you need to be pregnant now”. R: I see. L: Umm I still didn’t understand what he meant. R: Mhmm. L: Umm...he would just..all he said was “You’ll know what’s important when the times comes”. R: You’ll know what’s important when the time comes, ok. L: Yes. And I said “Well, how can my baby be born at the right time when I’m not pregnant?” R: What did he say to that? L: He said “You need to climb up on that bed...” R: Yes. L: “Just there, you’ll be pregnant when you leave”. R: Climb up on the bed just there and you’ll be pregnant when you leave, that is what you understood him to say? L: Yes. And I asked him how. R: Mhmm. L: And he...he brought out, I don’t know where he got it from, seemed to just appear, I don’t know, a big needle. R: A big needle. L: A really really big needle. R: Ok. L: And then I started to get scared ‘cause I...I didn’t know where he was going to put the needle. R: Yes, of course. You started to get scared at that point. L: He held up his hand and he said “Calm down, it’s ok”. R: Yes, he held up his hand and said calm down it’s ok. L: Yeah. And I asked him “Well where are you going to be putting that?” R: Yes. L: And he said he’s going to put it in my belly button. R: Yes. L: And I laughed and I said well that sounded really stupid. R: Mhmm. L: Umm...that’s really good of him to say. And then he told me “Just relax, this won’t hurt”. R: So you’re sitting down in the chair now? L: Yeah. R: The couch. L: Yeah. R: You’re doing as you’re told, you’re being a good girl now, is that correct? L: Yeah ‘cause I want to go home, ‘cause I want to. R: I see, you’re thinking, am I right in thinking if he gets this done you go home then? L: Yeah. R: And you agree with that? L: Mmm. R: Have I got that right? L: Yeah I thought if I just do as he tells me and just let him do what he needs to do then I can go home and it’ll all be done with and that would be great. R: Ok. L: And he put the needle in my belly button. R: Yes. L: And...and then he injected something, I don’t know...I don’t know what he injected...injected something. R: Mhmm. 📷 L: Umm...and when he took the needle out there wasn’t bleeding. R: Was there any pain for you at any time? L: No it didn’t hurt. R: So he kept his word in regards to that? L: Yeah it didn’t hurt. R: Excellent. L: He just put the needle down there, it didn’t hurt, and it didn’t bleed, and there weren’t even a hole. R: There wasn’t any hole, ok. L: I couldn’t even see a mark where it had been. R: Right. L: No mark at all. R: Ok. L: Umm...I wish that I could go home. R: Right. L: I said “Well how has what you have just done made me pregnant?” R: Mhmm. L: And he said “You’ll find out.” R: Ok. L: “You will find out soon”. And I said “So am I pregnant now?” And he said “Yes. Yes.” R: Yes. L: “Yes, you’re pregnant now. And you won’t find out straight away, but the baby has to be born on the 11th August.” R: Has to be born on the 11th August. That’s important is it? L: Has to be, has to be born on the 11th August. And I asked him “Why? Why does it have to be then?” “Just has, just has to be, I can’t tell you why it just has to be.” R: It just has to be. L: And then I’m outside that ship. And I’m floating again and I must have gone through the treacley wall thing again but I don’t remember doing that. R: That’s ok. L: I just remember I’m outside and I’m looking down at the gardens all down there and I’m expecting to fall down and break my legs any minute. R: Mhmm. L: But I’m down, I’m back in the bedroom with Mr Potato Head again. I’m back and Mr Potato Head’s there. Umm...I think he’s going to take me again, and I’ve just been there and I don’t want to go again. Umm but then he just says I won’t remember. He says I won’t remember. R: Oh he tells you you won’t. L: He says you won’t remember. All you’ll remember is when your baby’s going to be born, what day he’s going to be born, but you won’t remember until they tell you that you’re pregnant. And I ask him “But who...who’s going to tell me I’m pregnant?” And he just said “They”. He won’t say anything he just says “They”. And I asked “Well when will they tell me?” “They’ll tell you when they tell you”. And he said “You won’t remember any of this but once they tell you you’ll know when your baby’s supposed to be born. And you’ll just know. And...he went back out. I presume he went back to the ship, I don’t know. R: That’s ok. What did you do? L: Err the light was gone now. R: Ok the light was gone. L: The light was gone now and I thought I’d better get downstairs ‘cause my programme was gonna be starting. R: Yes. So you didn’t get back into bed then, you went downstairs? L: I went downstairs. R: Ok. L: Umm, and that’s when I found I’d missed it. And they’d kept me so long I’d missed my bloody programme and that was the only thing I wanted to watch. So I was angry again. And it made me even more mad ‘cause Joseph said I fell asleep, he said you must have got back into bed, you must have fell asleep, and I told him I didn’t fall asleep I came down, came down as soon as you told me and I don’t understand this, I didn’t get back into bed and I didn’t go back to sleep and I don’t know what’s going on and he’s calling me an idiot and telling me “You fell asleep, you must have fell asleep.” R: And that made you angry. L: And then I was even more angry ‘cause I know I didn’t fall asleep, I know I didn’t. R: Just relax, just relax. That’s good. Just breathe. You’ve done very well. I want you to take yourself away from that scenario, put yourself back in that neutrally coloured room. Back in the peace and tranquillity of that neutrally coloured room. And just breathe for me Laura. Just allow all that anger and upset just to leave you, just to dissipate. And you can just concentrate on breathing. That’s it, that’s very good. That’s good. That’s better. And when you’re ready make your way towards that huge wooden door, open it, and stand at the bottom of the ten steps please. When you’re there let me know. L: Ok. R: Now I want you to thank your subconscious mind from the bottom of your heart for the vital work it’s carried out today. L: Thank you. R: You’ve done very well, you should be very proud of yourself. Just look up at the steps that you’ve got to climb back up now. And bringing all those thoughts and feelings back with you you’re going to step to ten, to nine, to eight, seven and six, five, half way back now, And when you’re ready and not before start to come back to this room. Some of the revelations from the above recollection are stunning, disturbing and of course very personal to Laura and her family. Be aware that Laura is happy with the inclusion of the above in the report and I have directly asked for her express permission to include it. Laura first described a blue-green skinned Grey being which appeared in her bedroom after she initially observed the sphere. Note that once again she was not paralyzed at any point of the experience. Her reaction to the being was fascinating. Rather than be frightened by it, she was actually amused by how odd it looked. She was amused by how out of proportion its head looked against the rest of its slender body. She nicknamed the being “Mr Potato Head”, and refers to it as this on numerous occasions during the regression! It was fascinating to see Laura act this way, usually when someone sees Greys they are scared or at least un-nerved by them. This appears to be the first time she got a proper look at a Grey. On the previous occasion she may have been visited by Greys but she could not see their appearance for one reason or another. Astoundingly Laura then described in detail being floated through the wall & closed window of her room. This fits in with many other abduction experiences I have investigated. Laura says that as she passed through it felt like she was moving through treacle. This suggests that when she was taken her molecular structure was changed in some way, allowing her to physically pass through solid objects. She was then floated through the air towards the red spherical UFO, and again was taken through the outer wall of the object. Inside she found herself in a white coloured rectangular shaped room with reclining chair. A sliding door opened and a Reptilian being entered. This appears to be the first time she had met this being, but as you will see was not to be the last. Just as with the Grey, Laura did not appear to be frightened by the Reptilian despite its odd appearance. Instead she was actually angry at having been taken out of her house without her consent, and was annoyed that she was going to miss her TV programme! It was very interesting to see Laura’s reaction at this part of the regression, as most contactees are frightened when they are taken not angry. It perhaps suggests that she had met these beings on previous occasions and was used to their appearance, although we have so far had no confirmation of this so it is just a theory. During the regression Laura stated that she did not recognise either being. The Reptilian explained to her that she would become pregnant and also informed her of the date of the birth. This explained why she later felt that she knew this date even though she did not really know why. When she was led over to the reclining chair, Laura appears to be resigned to her fate, and did not try to stop this from happening. Perhaps she did not truly believe that she would become pregnant and just wanted to get things over and done with so she could return home. The long needle instrument that was placed in her belly button has been described by female abductees many times before. It seems likely that this instrument is used for the implantation of fertilized eggs. Obviously the implications of this revelation are extremely personal, and suggest that Laura’s son was implanted aboard the craft. Laura is remarkably accepting of this possibility, and already had a feeling that this may have been the case, so what she described under regression did not come as a complete shock to her. Of course we have no way of knowing the origin of the DNA used in this procedure. Laura left Joseph many years ago, and unfortunately her son does not want to be a part of this investigation. After the procedure it seems that Laura was then returned to her bedroom, and then Grey and sphere both left. She then immediately forgot everything which had taken place. It was only when she headed downstairs that she learnt that she had lost an hour of time. Essentially Laura’s recollection of this incident again filled in all the gaps and explained exactly what went on. As she has read about ET contact prior to this experience we cannot completely rule out the possibility that some of what she said was imagined due to what she expected took place. But she consciously remembers seeing the red glowing sphere, and then had a definite hour of missing time, which was confirmed by the fact she missed her TV programme. So it stands to reason that something took place in that hour, something related to the UFO. The strength of her emotions throughout the regression, the amount of detail she came out with without hesitation, and the similarities between what she described and other known cases lead me to believe that it took place as she described. This adequately explains exactly why she knew the date her son would be born on, and also why she had a UFO watch over her throughout the majority of the pregnancy.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 05/03/2011 Introduction Kiera has lived in Stockholm, Sweden her whole life. Since an early age she has experienced many unusual things which seem to have a paranormal explanation or are directly related to UFOs and ET contact. This report details her experiences in rough order of when they took place, and contains both drawings and photographic evidence. Unexplained Sounds Since an early age Kiera has occasionally heard a high pitched beep sound in her left ear. There is no regularity to when she hears this, but it has seemed to occur more often in the last few years. The sound is quite clear but not overly loud. It continues for a number of seconds before stopping abruptly. Kiera does not remember it ever occurring at night time when she is in bed, it tends to occur randomly in the day. When she was young she would directly associate it with someone coming to get her. She has no idea why she felt this, but remembers telling her mother “Now they are coming!” when she heard the noise. The fact that she made this association is in itself very interesting, but even more interesting is that she is far from alone in hearing sounds such as these. Many contactees describe hearing beeps or buzzing noises, which sometimes feel to them as if their mind is being scanned. Kiera also remembers being fascinated by the night sky, and a particular recurring dream where she saw spaceships which reminded her of big wheels. In 2010 she decided to try to block the sound out using various methods. She found out that she could stop it using her own thoughts! When the noise occurred she would think very intensely on bouncing it away to a different direction. She noticed that when she did this the noise would stop much faster, but then would re-occur later in the same day. The fact that she can apparently influence the sound using her own mind leads her to believe it is not related to a medical condition. Nosebleeds Another thing Kiera remembers from her childhood is that she would often get nosebleeds at night time. She would sometimes awake to find her pillow covered in blood. Of course many children get nosebleeds, so this many not necessarily be related to contact, but nosebleeds are a commonly reported side effect of abduction experiences. They are sometimes related directly to examination by the ETs or an implant placed in the bridge of the nose. Kiera says that her father also used to suffer from nosebleeds at night, right up until he passed away in 2009. She has also been informed by her mother that he used to experience terrifying nightmares where something was after him. He would often wake up screaming saying things like "They wanted to kill me!" Could this suggest that Kiera's father was also a contactee? Blood Group Something else to note is that Kiera is blood group RH negative 0, and so was her father. Some researchers believe this blood group to be directly related to contact, it does not appear to have an earthly origin and so some theorise that this is evidence of genetic manipulation by aliens. However there are plenty of contactees who do not have this blood type. You can read numerous pages and studies about this online. Multi-Coloured Lights UFO Sightings Kiera had her first sighting of a UFO in November 1977. Her and her older brother Thomas were at their house in Hogdalen (High Valley) in the south of Stockholm. It was early evening between 6-8pm. Their parents had not yet arrived home from work. Kiera was on the phone to a friend, while her brother was outside on the balcony. Suddenly she heard him call her, saying that he could see a UFO! Kiera went outside and found Thomas looking up into the sky. As it was winter time the sky was already very dark. Kiera stared to where her brother was looking. She could make out a line of blinking lights of various colours including red and green. The main body of the object could not be made out, but the lights seemed to be around the edge of it. It appeared to be quite large in size and at high altitude. It could not have been a plane as it was completely silent. UFO photograph from a different case (Conneticut May 1987) modified by the witness to show what the object she and her brother saw looked like: 📷 The object was moving slowly in a South Easterly direction. It then slowly turned a full 180 degrees until it was moving back to the North West from where it had came. Map showing the location of the witnesses and estimated route of the UFO: 📷 Later that evening they told their parents, but they didn’t believe in UFOs and so did not pay much attention to them. A year went by. Kiera and her brother had almost forgotten about the strange object they had witnessed. It was November 1978, possibly an exact year to the day since their sighting. Again it was early evening time and very dark. Just like the previous year, Kiera and Thomas were in the house and their parents were out. They were both outside on the balcony relaxing. Suddenly they spotted in the sky the exact same object they had seen the previous year! It felt to them like it had waited a whole year and was now returning to the same place for whatever reason. This time Thomas excitedly ran inside the house and grabbed his Pentax camera. Running back outside he took several photos of the object. It flew on exactly the same course as last time, turning 180 degrees and leaving to the North West. One week later Thomas had the photographs developed. Sadly they were out of focus due to the distance, and it was not possible to see the blinking lights, however the shape of the main body of the object was now visible. It appeared to be the shape of a cigar. They showed the photographs to their parents but as before they dismissed them and said the object must have been a plane. Unfortunately a couple of weeks later the photos were accidentally destroyed when a shelf collapsed, covering them in liquor. Sadly this important bit of evidence was lost. It seems unlikely that the object was an aircraft or helicopter due to its appearance and the fact that it made no sound. Also if it were one of these then surely the witnesses would have seen them on many other occasions and realised it was nothing out of the ordinary. When they saw the object a second time they immediately recognised it as the same object they had seen the year before. Kiera wonders if the object ever returned there again. She was not to find out either way as before November 1979 the family moved to a different address. It is very interesting that the object appeared two years in a row. There are very few known cases where UFOs have returned to the same location more than once. Could it have been there specifically to observe Kiera? It did not appear to directly interact with her in any way, but if it was just observation she may not have been aware of this. Initial Visitation By 1996 Kiera had gotten married and had a 1 year old daughter, Elin. In 1997 a disturbing experience took place. One night Elin suddenly screamed out loud from her bedroom. Kiera got out of bed, went and picked her up, then carried her around a while until she dropped back off to sleep. She then returned to bed. A short while later her daughter screamed again. She kept doing this 7-8 more times until in the end Kiera put her to sleep between her and her husband. Kiera is not aware of how long she was asleep for after settling down, but suddenly she found herself awake. She quickly discovered she was paralyzed, which absolutely terrified her. She was lying on her side facing away from the room. She felt like someone was standing alongside the bed behind her. She sensed a strong feeling of hate from whatever it was, it felt to her like it wanted to kill her. As she was paralyzed she could not roll over to look at it, but in her mind she saw a tall hooded figure dressed in black. The clothing it was wearing looked like it was made out of rubber-like material. She was very frightened of what was taking place, but kept saying over and over in her head “Get out of here! Get out!” Suddenly she sensed the figure had disappeared and she found she could move again. A moment later she felt a strong feeling of love pass throughout her body, which she says felt like “someone pouring warm water over me from my head to my feet”. She then drifted back off to sleep. This experience is interesting and could have been a contact experience, however lots of what Kiera describes here does fit in with sleep paralysis. This is where the body wakes up in semi dream state. The human body shuts down while sleeping to prevent us acting out our dreams, but sometimes it is possible to wake up but still be paralysed. Often during sleep paralysis the individual can sense the presence of something in the room or see dark shadowy figures. This occurs because the brain envisages the body is being held down by an external force. This is often accompanied by strong feelings of emotion such as evil, hate or love. Perhaps the fact that she was having a troubled night with her daughters outbursts led to her experiencing sleep paralysis on this occasion. However as Kiera has had other experiences which certainly seem related to contact, could this have been an ET visitation? During contact, the individual is often paralyzed. This is probably done to prevent them from struggling or trying to stop what is happening to them. Could Kiera’s daughter have sensed the presence of the being prior to Kiera’s experience? Beings and First Body Marking Later in 1997 Kiera had another unusual experience, one which I feel has more likelihood of being related to contact. She does not remember the precise date when the experience took place. She suddenly woke up in the middle of the night with the feeling that the bed covers had just been dropped back down onto her. She woke because of the sudden gust of air on her. When she awoke she found she was lying on her back, something which she never consciously does and to her knowledge never does in her sleep. Kiera opened her eyes and peered round the room. She immediately saw at the bottom of the bed the silhouettes of two or three short figures. She could not make out their faces as it was quite dark in the room. She was very surprised by the presence of these beings. She then feels that she heard the beings speaking to one another telepathically. They said to each other “Oh! She woke up!” It was as if they had not intended her to stir. She then felt herself sink back off to sleep. Considering the circumstances this was very unusual behaviour, but it felt to her like she had been sedated. This feeling is often reported by contactees and can often precede an abduction experience. The following morning when she awoke Kiera felt very weak like she was drained of energy. When she looked in the mirror she noticed three small dots on the side of her stomach which were in a triangular shape. They were around the area of her left ovary and were red in colour. She felt that they were strange but as she was so tired she then forgot all about them. Unfortunately she did not take a photo of the markings, and they vanished soon afterwards. A couple of weeks after the incident, Kiera bought the infamous book Communion by Whitley Streiber, which is all about his own abduction experiences. Kiera was scared by what she read as it seemed to fit with her own experiences. She decided to forget everything and get on with her life. Scratches By 2004 Kiera had got divorced and moved into a new apartment with Elin. They lived there for several years without incident. In the winter of 2007 they started to hear a strange low frequency humming noise at night which would start about 11.30pm. They looked everywhere but could not find the source of the sound. After a while it seemed to cease. But in March 2008 it began again. It was now that Kiera found out it was coming from the flat below them, which belonged to a company who were working on electrical components. The noise would occur most nights, and by July it was making them feel nauseuous. Kiera looked into noise pollution claims but found that the legal process was very complex and would take a long time. In August she arranged for her and her daughter to sleep at her mother’s house each night. As the sound would only occur after dark, they continued to spend time at the property during the day time. In September 2008 they were round the flat when Elin showed Kiera a scratch mark on her arm. It was red in colour and about 4cm in length. Elin said that it had just suddenly appeared of its own accord, but Kiera felt that she had probably just accidentally hurt herself. The scratch was visible for a few days before it finally vanished without leaving a scar. A month later Kiera was painting the living room wall when suddenly numerous scratch marks appeared all over her right arm. She immediately felt that these were not accidental and there was a paranormal explanation behind them. Soon after Elin began to find other scratches on herself at various places. These scratch marks have continued to appear on Kiera (and to a lesser extent her daughter) right up to present day. She never sees the markings actually appear on her skin, she just finds them soon afterwards. They are sometimes painful, especially when put under running water. They appear at various places on her body, but are more commonly found on her hands. Kiera is convinced that she is not accidentally causing the marks. Below are a number of photographs Kiera has taken of the scratches she has found on herself between May 2009 and June 2010: May 2009 📷 📷 October 2009 📷 December 2009 📷 📷 January 2010 📷 📷 📷 May 2010 📷 June 2010 📷 📷 Kiera informs me that other people in Sweden are also finding these markings on them. She believes them to be related in some way to ET contact. Paranormal Activity Soon other strange occurrences began to take place in Kiera’s proximity, at both her own flat and her mother’s house. In her own flat Kiera’s electrical equipment started to behave strangely. The TV would suddenly lose its reception for no reason. The computer broke down numerous times and also turned on by itself on one occasion. The stereo switched itself on. Kiera's radio alarm clock would turn itself off at night causing her to wake up late. Their pet parrot also started to become very angry and agitated. Kiera decided to give it away to someone else, after which it completely settled down. It appeared to be the flat which had caused it to act in this manner. On one occasion her mobile phone automatically called up her house phone while she was entering the flat. It is of course possible that the buttons were knocked inside her bag, but if this happened it does seem to be a strange coincidence. In her mothers flat Kiera experienced further electrical activity. The timer in the kitchen started by itself on numerous occasions. Light bulbs would also last only a few minutes before suddenly blowing. Kiera also sensed a presence in her bedroom from time to time, although she never saw anything there. Kiera decided to contact numerous ghost hunters and mediums to see if they could detect anything strange in her own property. A Swedish dowser who turned up to inspect the flat stated that she had aliens living there (Kiera had not told him about any of her previous experiences). The mediums claimed to detect both ghosts and strange small creatures in the flat. One of the ghost hunters managed to record some EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) which sounded like voices. In 2009 he returned to spend a night at the property on his own. Afterwards he said he had captured some more unusual sounds, but did not play these sounds to Kiera. Later Kiera decided to try her own recordings. When she played them back she heard strange popping sounds. She sent the recordings to the ghost hunter and he confirmed they were the same noises he had recorded. Then while they were E-Mailing each other, he claimed to actually hear the noises in his own house! This frightened Kiera a bit and she decided not to make any more recordings. Circular UFO Sighting In October 2008 Kiera and Erin went on a day trip to a small town south of Stockholm named Mariefred. They were driving along the road when suddenly Kiera noticed something unusual in the sky out of the windscreen. It looked like a large round object. It appeared to be at very high altitude. She only glimpsed it for a moment, and thought that she could have been mistaken, so did not mention it to Erin. When they were close to Mariefred, what Kiera believes was the same object suddenly flew over the road at quite low altitude, right in front of the car! She could now see that it was a metallic silver colour. Erin screamed out “What is that? Is that a UFO?!” A moment later it was gone and they could not see it in either direction. It had either vanished into thin air, or flown away extremely fast. The object did not seem to directly interact with them in any way, but it is interesting that it suddenly moved closer after Kiera spotted it at a distance. Abduction Memories? In late 2008 Kiera began to experience strange dreams about needles, and would then find associated markings on her body. On one occasion she had a dream about a long needle being pushed into her inner foot. When she awoke she found a small red mark at the location where the needle had been in the dream. The marking did not hurt when she touched it. She has no idea how long it remained on her foot for, but it did not leave a permanent scar. She did not photograph the marking as it was too small. On another occasion she had a dream about numerous long needles being pushed into her upper mouth. In the morning she had a look but could not see anything out of the ordinary. But she still felt like something had taken place and it was more than just a dream. About a month later she discovered that she had three raised bumps in her upper mouth which had definitely not been there her whole life. She decided to take a photograph of these bumps. Kiera says she will send it through to me to add to this report. In February 2009 Kiera noticed that Erin had three dots in a straight line on her inner foot, at the same place where she had discovered the single mark a couple of months before. Erin did not know where these marks could have come from but they did not appear to be insect bites. In December 2010 Erin noticed a small spot of blood on her night dress at the back of the neck. She asked Kiera to check her neck for any markings, but nothing was found. Regressions In August 2010 Kiera decided to try hypnotherapy to see if she could remember any additional memories. The hypnotherapist was from Stockholm. During her first regression Kiera was taken back to her childhood years. Directly after the regression, the hypnotherapist asked her to draw something of importance from her childhood. She does not know the reason why, but she grabbed a pencil and immediately drew a picture of an alien face! This surprised her and led to her deciding to be hypnotised again. In early 2011 Kiera was regressed a second time. During this regression Kiera's body suddenly became stiff and she felt like she could not move. She then saw herself on a flat table surrounded by numerous Greys. There was some kind of tube/pipe like object above her. She did not have any more recollections but this does suggest that Kiera had been abducted at least once. Kiera feels uncomfortable when someone holds a camera close to her. Her hypnotherapist suggested that this was because it reminds her of the object that was over her during the abduction. Throughout the session, Kiera also felt a strange presence in the room, and wonders if that they were being observed by the ETs at this time. In later sessions, the hypnotherapist tried to sever the link between Kiera and the ETs. This has seemed to at first reduce and then completely stop the beep sound that she sometimes hears in her left ear (see earlier). However Kiera can still feel it even if she does not hear the sound anymore, so it does not look like this has fully worked. Conclusion Kiera has had some very interesting and varied experiences, some of which appear to be linked to ET contact. If what she claims about her regressions is correct then it certainly appears she is a contactee. Some of her experiences could be down to other paranormal activity, but it is unknown if this activity is indirectly related to contact or not. I hope that Kiera stays in touch and keeps me informed of any new incidents which occur. If she does this report will be updated with these experiences. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

By Suzy Hansen with Dr. Rudy Schild At age 20 Suzy Hansen's life changed. On a lonely country road in broad daylight, her car was engulfed by a massive ball of white light, resulting in 90 minutes of missing time and the unfathomable experience of "waking" after dark. The experience resulted in her discovery of an alternative reality - time spent with extraterrestrials aboard their spacecraft since childhood, and in fact since her inception as a soul. The Dual Soul Connection uniquely combines absorbing details of the life-long alien encounters of UFO researcher and experiencer Suzy Hansen (NZ), with scientific examination by Dr. Rudy Schild, Emeritus Astrophysicist, Harvard/Smithsosian Centre for Astrophysics (USA). Hansen and Dr. Schild address issues of spirituality, modes of telepathy and alien culture, alongside scientific concepts of advanced physics, holograms and organic concious technology - all within the framework of contact with these non-human species. Significantly the book outlines human participation in complex alien programmes that assist and advance humankind, and Hansen's experience of a dual soul identity central to the positive agenda. Hansen's clear empirical approach gives the fullest description of how this off-planet civilization seeks to prepare us for contact, and answers the "why" question by describing in detail the "how". The Dual Soul Connection highlights our interconnectedness with a wider universal family, revealing a process of disclosure by the aliens themselves - a journey of unfolding contact the whole of mankind is undertaking together. "I feel priviledged to have been part of the effort, and want to assure you that the book is a masterpiece" - Dr. Rudy Schild Available for purchase in paperback at: www.communicatorlink.com/ Or Amazon Kindle eBook at: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=node%3D154606011&field-keywords=The+Dual+Soul+Connection

The Rendlesham Forest incident of December 26th – December 28th 1980 still remains one of the UK’s most impressive and intriguing UFO cases. Multiple encounters with unexplained lights, physical craft and even beings over three consecutive nights. Direct involvement of two nearby army bases. Many highly respected military and civilian witnesses. Both physical and testimonial evidence. Official recognition by the MOD that something unusual took place. The incident was truly fascinating. There is a mass of information about it available online, and I will assume that you already have a background knowledge of the case in this article. On 28th December 2010 a superb event took place down in the town of Woodbridge. It was exactly 30 years since the final night of the incident, and to mark this important date a conference about the incident was planned. At this conference, two of the key witnesses John Burroughs and Jim Penniston would at last openly speak about what happened to them. Other speakers included UFO researcher and co-author of Left At East Gate Peter Robbins, highly respected UFO investigator Linda Moulton Howe and ex-MOD investigator Nick Pope. As soon as I found out about the conference I sent off for a ticket, as did my father and brother. I had been waiting for a long time to visit Rendlesham Forest, and finally I would get that chance. It was just after Christmas but there is no way I would have missed it for the world, however bad the weather. I was worried that it would be cancelled due to recent snow fall, but luckily when the day arrived, the snow had started to melt. It was however still quite foggy, making the drive down quite precarious! We arrived at Woodbridge about ten minutes before the conference kick off time of 6pm. Luckily we managed to find the venue with ease. The conference was set to take place at Woodbridge community hall. In the foyer we immediately met Larry Warren, the original whistleblower of the incident. Larry and I have become good friends after he joined me for my wedding day at Area 51 back in February, and then later came and gave a talk for BUFOG. It was really great to see him again. 📷 When we entered the hall, I was pleased to see that there was a very decent turn out for the event. There must have been a good few hundred people, and every chair in the hall was filled. In fact I think they ran out of seats and people even stood around the back. We managed to find some seats about 2/3 of the way back, and it wasn’t long before the lights dimmed and the conference began. 📷 The first speaker of the evening was UFO researcher Peter Robbins. Peter was co-author of Left At East Gate with Larry Warren. The book detailed the incident in full, concentrating on the final night where both a craft and several entities were seen by Larry and many other personnel. Peter began by covering some of the explanations given for the incident over the years, including the infamous light-house, a meteor shower, stars and the recent claim thata burning fertilizer truck was to blame. He detailed why these explanations do not hold water when faced with the facts of what took place. 📷 📷 At the end of his talk he specially called up Larry to the stage to thank him for his efforts in bringing the case to the public eye. Without him the case may have never been known about, so I was pleased to see him get this recognition. 📷 Next up was US researcher Linda Moulton Howe. Linda has been involved with the UFO subject for many years, and is one of the worlds leading experts on the animal mutilation phenomenon. Over recent years she has been working with John and Jim to get to the bottom of what really happened to them during the incident. This involved numerous hypnotic regressions which they had undergone, and it was fascinating to see footage from these regressions. 📷 Some of the revelations of these regressions were truly stunning. It appears that both John and Jim may have been abducted on the first night when they saw the lights in the forest and went to investigate them. There is evidence of missing time, which is mentioned in the original notes and transcripts. Both the men lost about 40 minutes of time, during which their radios stopped functioning correctly. This caused quite a bit of confusion at the time. Under hypnosis John describes seeing white light all around and also states that the blue lights seen floating in the air at the time were in fact life-forms which may have communicated with him in some way. It also appears that John was possibly abducted again on the 2nd night of the incident. When Jim was regressed, he actually stated that the occupants of the craft were from our own future, and had come back in time to harvest genetic material to help them in some way. If you do not know about this particular aspect of the case it is well worth looking into. It was then time for a short break. We first met up with BUFOG member Adam, then also bumped into UFO researcher Joanne Summerscales (who came to speak at BUFOG about John Searl a few months back), and some old friends from Swindon UFO Group. 📷 We then went to check out the merchandise, which included some hilarious flying lighthouse parody T-shirts and pictures. Not sure who came up with the picture, but whoever did certainly has a good sense of humour. Here’s the pic for your enjoyment: 📷 Soon it was time for John and Jim to take the stage. They gave a very detailed account of what happened to them. They discussed what they remembered from the time, and also what was uncovered under their regressions. It was fascinating hearing about the incident from two of the original witnesses, and they came across both sincere and believable. I would certainly dispute claims that they are making up what happened to them, they were obviously speaking from the heart and deserve great respect for speaking openly about what they experienced, especially considering the possible implications of doing so. 📷 Jim then covered recent developments in the case based around a “download” of information he received soon after experiencing the craft in the forest. He felt compelled to write down 8 pages of numbers made of 0’s and 1’s. He kept these notes but was only aware of their potential significance recently. This did create a small amount of backlash from the crowd, who questioned why it was only being revealed now so long after the incident. According to Jim, at the time he was not aware that what he had written down was in fact binary code. After meeting with John earlier in 2010 for the first time since the incident, he realised the importance of these pages of numbers. He handed them over for analysis to see if the numbers could be translated. The binary code did translate to a message. However Jim was unable to share this message as he wanted all the evidence to be revealed at once in a US documentary. This documentary aired on the History Channel on 30th December. Below is a link to the Youtube video of the relevant part of this documentary, which gives full details of the message behind the code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpvEShmpwHU The last speaker was the well known ex-MOD UFO investigator Nick Pope. He spoke of the MOD’s involvement with the case, and that it appears a cover up did take place. He apologised on microphone to both John and Jim for the fact that the true reason behind the incident is still not known, and that the MOD seems partially responsible for this. 📷 Following Nick in time honoured tradition was an extensive Q&A session, with all speakers on stage together. This Q&A got quite heated at times, especially regarding the binary code announcement. 📷 📷 By the time the Q&A drew to a close it was already 11.30pm. But the conference was only the first part of the night, for now it was time to head to the forest to visit the actual location where John and Jim’s encounter took place! Whatever the weather, there was no way I was going to miss out on this. Quite a few headed for home at this point, but there was still at least 100 people, including a TV crew who were filming the conference for a documentary. We all drove out to the forest in convoys of vehicles, one of which I was leading so I had to pay attention to the route! Our destination was the visitors car park at the edge of the forest, the usual meet up point for Rendlesham skywatches, and starting point for the official UFO trail. When we arrived it was pitch black, cold and foggy, but all around the car park the lights from many torches could be seen darting around and beaming into the night sky. I have to admit the weather conditions actually added to the atmosphere. It was great to finally be at the forest. After locating John and Jim in the dark, we all headed along one of the tracks towards Woodbridge base. 📷 📷 After about 5 minutes we arrived at the East Gate, the location where John and Jim’s experience on the 26th December 1980 first began. We huddled up around them as they reminisced about seeing the lights in the distance and being given orders to go and check them out, as TV microphone hovered above them like a dark grey cigar-shaped UFO. 📷 📷 After answering whatever questions people had, we then walked back to the tree-line near the car park to continue the story. They then recounted in detail what happened next, with the approach to the lights in the woods, subsequent missing time, and Jim’s close encounter with the triangular craft. They did not falter in their words at all, and were obviously describing a real event. 📷 📷 I was hoping that we would then actually head into the forest to the exact spot where the encounter took place. Unfortunately they had decided against this, probably because of the number of people present. But I had come this far, there was no way I was going to turn back now! I at least wanted to see Carpal Green, the field where the 3rd night of the incident took place. After getting directions to the field from John, me, my brother and dad headed off on our own along the trail. 📷 It was about 2am, and extremely foggy and dark. Walking through the trees on our own was quite an experience! As we walked I thought to myself that if something were to happen to us now, no-one would know until our empty car was found the following morning. Strangely there was no sounds at all from the undergrowth, I expected to at least hear small animals scuttling around in the dark but it was silent. 📷 Utilising a print out of the UFO trail map we finally arrived at a picnic bench overlooking Carpal Green. It was so foggy we could only see a few feet in front of us. The open field spanned out into the darkness. We thought that we would be able to see the lighthouse from here but due to the weather conditions it was not visible at all. We had no need to explore any further, we had reached what we had set out to reach. 📷 📷 📷 After getting a few fog covered photographs we then began our walk back to the car. On the way to the field we had tried our best to remember the route, but we still accidentally took a wrong turn on the way back! I had a brief vision of us walking around aimlessly for hours with torches out of batteries. Luckily we managed to find the right path and get back on track. We arrived back at the car park without having seen or heard anything out of the ordinary, but happy we had made the journey. It was now about 3am and everyone had already left. Well I say everyone – there were a couple of cars still parked there with no lights on. Considering certain activities known to take place at remote car parks after dark, we didn’t hang around and quickly headed for home. We finally arrived back in Birmingham about 6am, tanked up on energy drinks. Not that I felt sleepy after such a superb evening. It truly was fascinating, and the trip to the forest after was such an adventure. I would like to thank all the speakers and organisers for one of the best conferences I have ever been to. Side Note: The only paranormal thing we saw through the evening was an appearance by the infamous "Dudley Dorito", which must have followed us from Brum. And in case you think I'm making it up, we luckily managed to capture it on camera: 📷 Copyright Dave Hodrien 2010

The sixth annual International Irish UFO Conference was held in the town of Boyle on 3rd-4th October 2009. Boyle is well known as an Irish UFO hot spot so was an apt location for the conference to take place. The town is also the home of Betty Meyler, president of the UFO Society of Ireland, who organised the weekend. Betty kindly offered me the chance to speak at the conference, and it was the first time I would talk on the subject outside of the UK. Our journey from Birmingham on Friday 2nd October was in three parts; first a short flight to Dublin airport, followed by a bus journey to the city centre, and then a two and a half hour train journey to arrive at our destination of Boyle. Unbeknown to us, Grant Cameron, another speaker at the conference who had come all the way from Canada, was also on the same train. We met him for the first time at Boyle station, where we were also greeted by a friend of Betty’s, who drove us to Dunwarren House where we would be staying for the weekend. 📷 The house was very nice indeed, with wooden flooring throughout, and was just along the road from the picturesque ruins of Boyle Abbey (unfortunately undergoing renovation work). After dropping off our bags we were then driven down to King House, the venue for the conference, to meet up with Betty and the other speakers. King House is a fantastic stately home nestled alongside Boyle’s shopping centre. The conference was to be held in one of the upstairs rooms, and to get there we had to walk past various halls of paintings and mannequins in period costume which formed part of the guided tours. The conference room itself was spacious with tall curtained windows and rows of chairs laid out for the attendees. 📷 📷 After meeting Betty for the first time, I then got chatting with many of the other speakers of the weekend, including Grant Cameron, Gary Heseltine, Alan Foster, Haktan Akdoman and Joanne Summerscales. We then had to all test our laptops and equipment to make sure everything was going to work as planned! Needless to say, despite doing this there were still some technical hitches throughout the weekend, luckily ones which were resolved. We were then given free reign to enjoy the rest of the evening. Myself and Kate joined some of the other speakers and conference cameraman Miles for a drink and late dinner at the bar in the Royal Hotel, just down the road from King House. 📷 📷 📷 Saturday morning kicked off at 8.30am after a satisfying Irish cooked breakfast. We actually turned up slightly too early and found that the gates of King House were not yet opened! Soon conference attendees started to turn up and fill up the venue. 📷 📷 Betty then stood up and gave a brief introduction, before the first speaker of the day, Gary Heseltine, began his lecture. Gary’s talk was about the infamous Rendlesham Forest incident. Over recent months he has been in direct contact with Colonel Halt, the base commander at the time of the incident back in 1980. He has interviewed Halt numerous times and received some fascinating information about what took place, including the admission that the UFO was seen shooting down beams of light into the base and inspecting the “ordinance”. Gary then provided a very convincing argument that nuclear weapons were being stored at the base and this is what the UFO was checking out. At one point I helped him unravel a printed timeline of the incident to show how many aspects were involved in it. Gary has also been working with Halt on a screenplay for a documentary film on the incident. Considering the importance of the incident this is long overdue, and I hope that they get the go ahead for this to be produced. Gary will be coming to give a similar lecture for the Birmingham UFO Group on Friday 9th October, and I cannot recommend it enough! 📷 📷 📷 📷 After a brief coffee break it was time for my own presentation! I was pleased that I was on so soon because then I could relax and enjoy the rest of the conference without any nerves. In my talk I covered my own recent UFO sighting at Warminster, then some of my most impressive investigations including the ongoing Bletchley case (see Reported UFOs section of site for official reports on these). 📷 The first speaker of the afternoon was Paul O’Conner, a professional remote viewer. His fascinating lecture went into details of how remote viewing has been used by various groups over the years, including the CIA, police and armed forces. He explained the basics of how it works, and covered some of the most highly skilled remote viewers. Paul actually runs a class teaching others how to remote view, and I have to admit I am quite intrigued by the subject. He came across very well and his lecture was very interesting indeed. 📷 The final speaker of the day was Grant Cameron, who had come all the way from Canada to give his talk. Grant has looked in great depth into the US presidents’ involvement with UFOs and the ongoing cover up of information. His lecture covered this in detail. It included many segments of video footage showing some of the quotes the various presidents have given on the subject over the years. Grant proved that despite being in a position of power, and certainly being aware of the seriousness of UFOs, they continue to dismiss or laugh off the subject whenever they are asked about it. He also believes that many are not aware of the UFO reality and have not been briefed at all, or have only been given a general overview of what is going on. Grant talked about some of the reasons why the cover up is in place and why disclosure will only happen when those who are in control wish to release the information. His lecture was fascinating and gave a great insight into the current UFO situation in the United States. 📷 📷 For the Saturday evening there was a buffet meal with musical accompaniment by Irish folk singer Michael Boston. Coincidentally this was being held in a side bar at the same location we had ended up at on the Friday – The Royal Hotel. This went very well indeed, and myself and Kate spent most of the evening talking with Gary Heseltine and Alan Foster over some drinks. We also talked with a man named Graham who had been to Paul O’Conner’s remote viewing class which was really interesting. 📷 📷 📷 The Sunday again kicked off nice and early, which after the previous evening felt quite tough for some I’m sure! It began with a couple of short documentaries on UFO sightings around Boyle. Both prominently featured Betty, who believes that an inter-dimensional portal exists in a lake close to the town. There have been a number of photographs taken which seem to show a glowing white light over the water, and Betty feels this is a doorway of some kind and the reason why many UFO sightings occur in the local area. Both documentaries were good, although I felt the second was a little condescending, if in good humour. Betty didn’t seem to mind at all and just laughed it off, she truly is a remarkable lady. After the documentaries, Betty then gave a talk about the UFO incidents that have taken place around Boyle, and the numerous personal sightings that she has had. 📷 📷 📷 We were then treated to some very interesting footage from Carl Nally, which showed a triangular formation of three white glowing objects. They turned as if connected, but he believes they were separate as one of them shot a number of thin red beams of light down to the ground. These beams only lasted for a split second but were quite bright and focused. Carl told us that they found no trace markings anywhere on the ground in the direction the lights had been filmed. He also explained that last year some very similar fake footage had been released online (I remember seeing this video), but that this video was the real deal. It was certainly intriguing, though of course was not overly impressive in this day and age of modern visual effects. 📷 📷 The later half of the morning was given to crop formation researcher Alan Foster. I have seen Alan numerous times before and he is always a joy to listen to. He gave a great lecture on formations over the last decade, including new ones which appeared down in Wiltshire this summer which were in the shape of symbolic animals, including a jellyfish and hummingbird. He of course is aware that some of the formations are hoaxed but also believes that there is a genuine reality behind them and that there are tell tale signs where formations are genuine, including the detection of strange energies and magnetic differences within them, and unusual way that the crop is folded or weaved into patterns. He showed a number of orb photographs he had personally taken while standing in formations, and covered the apparent military involvement and interest in the phenomenon. Sadly myself and Kate had to head for home just before the end of Alan’s lecture, but he is coming to give a talk for BUFOG in February 2010. 📷 📷 We unfortunately missed the last two lectures of the conference, but I’m sure they went very well indeed. Firstly was Haktan Akdogan, the renowned UFO researcher from Turkey. He talked about recent Turkish UFO sightings including new video footage by Yalcin Yalman in Kumburgaz, who over the previous two years has taken some impressive footage which seems to show a craft up close hovering over the sea at night-time. He has also taken daylight footage showing glowing orange lights over the water. Haktan informed me that numerous other witnesses had also been present during these recent sightings and that he believes the footage is genuine. He also showed some new footage of his own, which luckily we got to see during one of the morning breaks. The first segment was taken outside a conference in Istanbul where a UFO actually appeared and flew across the sky! Many people headed outside and filmed the object. Later outside his hotel, again he managed to capture footage of a dark round object flying at a fast speed. The third segment of video was taken when Haktan and others visited Yalcin for several days, and shows a glowing white cigar shaped object moving very fast across the sky. Haktan has kindly passed this footage on to me, and I will be showing it at the next group meeting. 📷 The last speaker of the day was Joanne Summerscales, who I was quite disappointed to miss. I had spoken with Joanne throughout the weekend and she is a very friendly and interesting lady. Joanne’s lecture was entitled Changing Paradigms – A perspective of the many layers of the UFO field. In it she pieced together elements of the UFO phenomenon and looked at the mask of our society paradigm, and I’m sure it went very well indeed. 📷 As you can see, the weekend was truly fantastic and everyone had a really great time. I would like to use this opportunity to personally thank Betty for inviting me to speak at the conference; it was wonderful to be given the chance to share my views and investigative work with the attendees. I wish her all the best for the upcoming months and for the UFO Society of Ireland, whose official website is at http://www.ufosocietyireland.com. I will hopefully return to Boyle in the near future. 📷 A Bizarre Anomoly On one of the photographs that Kate took of me just before my lecture began had a very strange-shaped pinkish coloured orb on it. Check it out below: 📷 Don't know if it's anything or not, could just be something floating past the camera lens. None of the other photos had anything looking remotely like this on.

Early on the morning of Saturday 11th June 2011 I and my friend Chris set off from Birmingham on our journey to Blackpool for the yearly LAPIS paranormal conference. It was a fantastic sunny day and the roads were nice and clear. This year the conference took place at the Carousel Hotel right on the seafront, just a short distance along the main promenade from Blackpool Pleasure Beach. As we arrived around 9.30am, both Blackpool Tower and “The Big One” rollercoaster were in plain sight. 📷 📷 The conference took place inside the main bar room of the hotel. This was really nicely furnished and well lit, a comfortable location for two days of lectures. There was also another side room where a number of merchandise stalls had been laid out. 📷 📷 We almost immediately bumped into Paul Vella, who was billed to speak first at the conference, and a friend of mine, Mike Rutter from Rapport contactee support group and magazine. After socialising a while with them over a coffee, we then caught up with some of the other speakers including Malcolm Robinson (who had spoken at BUFOG only two weeks before), Mike Hallowell and Rob Whitehead. Prior to kick off I also had a good look round the merchandise room, where I was pleased to once again meet up with contactee Mike Oram, who was also on the speaker line up. 📷 📷 After claiming some nice comfy seats towards the back of the room, we settled down to listen to Paul Vella, who gave a fascinating first talk on the “Minnesota Ice Man”. This was a sideshow attraction which was put on display around the USA in the late 1960s, and appeared to be a caveman/bigfoot like creature encased in a block of ice. Many people believed it was real and was the missing link. Over the years various people claimed to have been involved with the discovery or death of the ice man, and Paul went over their claims in detail. He personally believed it to be a clever hoax made by a special effects studio rather than an actual creature, however scientists were never given the chance to thaw it out, and then it mysteriously vanished without trace, so we will probably never know for certain either way. 📷 After Paul’s lecture there was then a break for lunch. We decided to explore the local area and find a shop to buy some food. It wasn’t long before we discovered a number of art sculptures on the promenade including a giant mirror ball which was brightly reflecting the suns rays. This was begging out for some photo opportunities, some of which are displayed below! 📷 📷 📷 📷 The afternoon began with a talk from Jon Ronson, investigative journalist and author of numerous books including The Men Who Stared At Goats, which has since been made into an excellent comedy film starring Ewan McGregor and George Clooney. Rob has looked into numerous unusual fringe subjects including remote viewing and the Bohemian Grove ceremony (Which he managed to sneak into with Alex Jones) However his lecture mostly focused on psychopaths, the subject of his latest book. He covered the various officially recognised signs of madness, and explained how some of these signs were quite ridiculous and could be attributed to most people in one way or another. His talk was both interesting and amusing, though I can’t help but feel that someone so openly sceptical of the paranormal was a little out of place. 📷 Next Mike Hallowell took to the stage. He warned at the start of his lecture that it was not really suitable for children and that he would be discussing some quite disturbing things, and he wasn’t joking either! Mike’s talk was about an ongoing case of a family who were being plagued by poltergeist-like activity that clearly had malicious intent and was far from friendly. However Mike put the activity down to a demonic entity from folklore know as a Brag, as some of the activity fitted in with this. This activity unexplained sounds and footsteps, laughing and voices heard over the telephone or actually in the household, fires which had burst out of nowhere, and a cloud like mist which was witnessed in the hallway that actually rained urine all over the floor and stairs, before hoof like markings appeared walking up the stairs one step at a time. The entity appeared to be linked to the family rather than their home, as it had also followed them out of the house on numerous occasions. The most disturbing incident of all was where one of the family had been beaten around the face by an invisible assailant while Mike was speaking to another family member over the phone. He played the unpleasant audio recording of this conversation, as well as a number of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings. One of the most impressive aspects of the case was the fact that the police had got involved and had not only witnessed some of this activity first hand, but had allowed for their identities to be revealed. This certainly aided in backing up the validity of the case. 📷 The final speaker of the day was Malcolm Robinson from Strange Phenomena Investigations (SPI). Malcolm is an accomplished and well versed speaker with many years experience in the field, and his lectures are always a joy to listen to. His lecture was entitled “The Weird And The Wonderful”, and covered many varied experiences and incidents. These included his own UFO sightings and efforts to find the Loch Ness monster. He then covered the curse of American actor James Dean’s car. James lost his life in the car during a fatal accident. However after his demise there were many other accidents and fatalities linked to the car in various ways, leading people to believe that it was cursed. Malcolm also covered a terrifying séance he had personally been involved in where lots had taken place he could not explain, and a photograph from Chile which claims to show a live ET being walking across a road. He then went on to talk of other UFO cases including a silver disc that was seen from the window of an aircraft, and another saucer-shaped craft that was seen by the crew of a ship out at sea. He ended his talk by covering a case where a woman’s car had seemingly collided with an invisible force of some kind which had crumpled the side of the car without causing any damage to the paintwork – very bizarre! Malcolm’s lecture was pretty much identical to the one he had given at BUFOG a fortnight before, but it was great hearing it a second time. 📷 And so ended the first day of lectures, but the fun was far from over! We headed outside a while for some drinks in the early evening sunlight, and a chat with Malcolm, Mike and Paul. I also met the presidents of the Scarborough UFO Society (SUFOS). 📷 📷 📷 After a short while, the merchandise room had been cleverly transformed into a “Meet the speakers” buffet room. The food was really good, and after dinner and drinks it was time for a thoroughly enjoyable paranormal themed quiz. With Malcolm Robinson on our team we came a respectable second place, and were only one point away from being declared the winners. We were just pipped to the post by Mike Hallowell and Oll Lewis, who won a load of skywatch related equipment. 📷 In actual fact, the prize would surely have come in handy, as after a few more drinks I, Chris, Malcolm and Mike Rutter decided to head on out to some nearby sand dunes and end the night with a short skywatch. It was quite a mild evening with a relatively clear sky, ideal skywatching conditions! It took about 10 minutes to walk to our destination. After the facing the perils of numerous sand covered pathways while under the influence of alcohol, we ended up at the highest point of the dunes, which gave a great view of the surroundings and also out over the sea. There were some other people close by next to a fire but we decided not to approach them. In the distance we could see numerous ships lights. 📷 Initially there was very little activity in the sky. We caught sight of one distant plane and then spotted a single satellite on its course across the sky. But then suddenly we noticed a bright white light heading inland from the West. It was definitely in the atmosphere, no higher than 3000 feet. However as it got closer we realised there were no additional navigation lights on it at all, nor could we hear any sound coming from it. We had cameras but were too busy debating whether or not it was a plane to take a photograph, and I am certain even if we had it would not have come out against the night sky. I was surprised to find out that even Malcolm thought it looked unusual. We had to conclude that it was unidentified, therefore it was a UFO. A short while after the light vanished into the distance we decided to call it a night and returned to the hotel. I and Chris had decided in advance to save money by sleeping in the car. I’ve had many years roughing it at various music festivals so this really didn’t bother me too much. The worst part was waking up due to the early morning light. We checked the clock and found it was 6.15am. Knowing that we would probably not be able to drop back off, we decided to grab the BBQ from the boot and walk back down to the sand dunes to cook some breakfast. It was hard work hulking all the gear down there, but worth it in the end. Chris’s BBQ skills are commendable. 📷 📷 By the time we returned to the hotel it was 9.30am and other people were milling about. We met back up with Malcolm and headed back to the mirror ball for some more photos. 📷 📷 Malcolm was speaking a second time so we then had to return to the venue so he could get set up. He began at 11am with an entertaining visual talk on supposed ET photographs. This was just the ticket for those of us who were still recovering from the previous evening, and although I had seen the majority of the photos before it was interesting none the less. 📷 The next lecture was by Oll Lewis, and was all about the beast of legend known as the Kraken. Oll covered many of the theories as to the origins of the creature and explained why many of these could not really explain it. During the lecture he showed a number of old drawings of the Kraken. The legend goes that a boat of sailors moored on the back of the beast assuming it was an island. After lighting a fire, the Kraken dived below the waves and many of the men were drowned. Oll presented an interesting theory of his which suggested that the Kraken was actually an island, but the tide had risen very fast giving the impression that it was a huge creature slowly diving underwater. I’m not really sure the tide could rise fast enough to fool anyone in this way, but I guess it's a possibility. 📷 The afternoon began with a rather unsettling lecture by Rob Whitehead. He spoke about the case of the “Women In Blue” which took place in the 1990s. This involved many incidents where women and occasionally men would visit people’s houses claiming to be social workers. They would ask for permission to perform an intimate examination of the children, and would occasionally attempt to take the child away into custody. This happened many times around the area of Yorkshire and a number of times elsewhere in the UK. It made the papers on numerous occasions and the police released a number of photo fits of the suspects. Its clear what the suspected motive was, but after following some leads Rob had been informed of a completely different motive, one with bizarre implications. 📷 The last speaker of the conference was the ongoing contactee Mike Oram. Mike has had experiences since the age of four, and has had many meetings with a Nordic being named Telos, who he refers to as his “space brother”. I have heard Mike speak before of his experiences, and he is always fascinating to listen to. He gave a brief overview of some of his many encounters, but focused mostly on two particular experiences. Firstly he described something which had happened recently and which he had not spoken of before. One evening at his home he received a psychic message which told him to go outside with a camera and take photographs. He sensed that something was leaving the Earth for a while, perhaps a particular group of ETs, and that some kind of event was taking place. He took about 40 photographs. On some of these photographs he saw what looked like white orbs of light shooting upwards with trails running behind them. He showed these unusual photos during the talk. 📷 The second part of his lecture focused on the events which had happened to him and his wife in Nevada while visiting the gate of Area 51 and the Little A’le’inn. At the time he felt that things were amiss and experienced some periods of missing time. Because of this he deciced to get regressed. Under regression he stated that he had been chased down by a military vehicle with a device on the back that had opened a portal. He was taken through this and found himself in a building with many military personnel, and something was placed on his head. It seemed like the military had known he was a contactee and wanted to obtain something from his mind. The odd incidents which happened later on turned out to be a visitation by Telios, another Nordic and a short Grey-like being. Mike’s lecture was a fascinating way to end the conference, and I enjoyed every minute of it. 📷 📷 After saying our goodbyes we stepped outside the hotel to find ourselves in a heavy downpour of rain. I felt glad that the weather had held off until now otherwise the weekend would have been far less fun. Despite the rain and tiredness, our spirits were raised by the memories of the last two days as we began the long drive back to Birmingham. It was certainly one of the most varied and enjoyable paranormal conferences I have attended, and I look forward to seeing what next year’s conference will bring. 📷 Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

Early in 2011 I was contacted and invited to speak at Into The Unknown 4, a single day UFO conference held by UFO Academy, and set to take place on Saturday 20th August down in Watford, London. This is my review of how the day went. 📷 📷 As with previous years, the conference took place at High Elms Manor, a picturesque manor house hidden away off the main roads of Watford. I, my father and brother arrived about 9.20am, giving us 40 minutes before the official start time. We almost immediately met up with Cheryl, an experiencer who’s case I investigated earlier in the year. We then met conference organiser Catrine O’Neill in the entrance lobby. The conference took place in a large open room at one end of the manor, with a side room available for drinks and snacks. I headed through to the main room to sort out the equipment setup, and found that Win Keech, the first speaker of the day, was already there getting organised. It wasn’t long before I also ran into contactee Steven Jones and his wife Valerie. Steven had spoken at a previous Into The Unknown conference, and has also come to speak at BUFOG before. 📷 📷 At 10am Win began his lecture. He gave a fascinating talk on a variety of topics, focusing primarily on crop formations. Win is an expert in video recording and analysis and spends a lot of time sky watching in the hope of capturing UFOs on camera. He began his talk with an excellent series of UFO video clips which he had managed to capture at various locations. This set the scene for his lecture very well indeed. He then spoke about the phenomenon of the shadow beings which have been seen around crop formations. He and others believe that these beings are connected with the formations and utilise portals to come through into our reality. He showed some video evidence for their existence which seemed to show some flashes of light followed by two of these entities appearing in a corn field. The video was distant but interesting none the less. 📷 However one of the most impressive videos that Win showed was some night vision footage of a large crop formation seemingly forming of its own accord over a short period of time. This was very impressive as it seemed far too big to have been created in the time period and there was no evidence of anyone being in the field at the time. For me it is some of the best evidence available that some crop formations are the real deal and not hoaxed. 📷 After a short break it was time for the second speaker of the day – an individual with an incredible amount of knowledge, stunning charisma, astounding intelligence and all round greatness. To put it simply...it was me. All joking aside though, I did get some decent feedback and I think everyone enjoyed my lecture. The title of my talk was “Contact Is Reality”, and it was a general lecture on the ET contact phenomenon. I began with an introduction video which featured many drawings from actual contact cases. It served as an example of some of the fascinating cases I have looked into over the years. 📷 I started my talk with an overview of contact, including various misconceptions about the subject, evidence for its reality, and some of the possible reasons why it may be taking place. I then went over some analysis of 25 good contact cases I have investigated, pointing out how common each of the many signs of contact has been through these cases. The later half of my lecture focused on a specific contact case from Whitwell (you can read the full report on this case elsewhere on this site). I did not have enough time to go into all the experiences of the individuals involved, so I covered a specific abduction experience in depth where three people were taken aboard a Flying Triangle craft. I did bring along some footage of the regression of the key individual, but did not have enough time to show it during the lecture. Luckily Catrine agreed that I could show it at the end of the day instead. 📷 📷 It was then a break for lunch. We headed out with Cheryl, with the intention of finding a nearby Harvester pub for a nice meal. Unfortunately the map we had lead us into a residential cul-de-sac, not exactly a good start! After getting directions from a helpful postman we were again on track. However his directions were not exactly clear and no matter how hard we looked we could not find the place. So what to do in such a situation? Good old McDonalds saved the day! Not as classy a meal as we had initially hoped for but no doubt just as tasty. The afternoon kicked off with an intriguing lecture from Carol Cochrane. Her lecture was entitled “The Sirius Letters – Crop Circles Reveal Secret ET Communications”. Carol is a former chairman of the Centre for Crop Circle Studies and is both a Cheirologist and a medium. In her talk she claimed that there were hidden messages inside the place names where crop formations have appeared, both in the UK and abroad. She claims to have received these messages via channelling using a special code. I have to admit that although it was interesting I was dubious of the messages themselves, not because of how they were received, but because they were being derived from human-named locations. However I have learned that in this field it is always good to keep an open mind, no matter how bizarre the implications. 📷 The next speaker was Mark Bennett, an author and member of the Aetherius Society, a spiritual organisation founded by George King. Mark gave an excellent and varied talk. He first focused on the evidence for the reality of UFOs both historically and in modern times. He then looked into the spiritual aspects of the subject, and explained how important it is to look at the subject from this perspective as well as just the nuts-and-bolts angle. Mark is a very good speaker, and I thoroughly enjoyed his lecture. 📷 📷 The last speaker of the day was Robbie Graham. Robbie is currently studying a PhD on Hollywood’s historical representation of UFOs and extraterrestrials. He gave an excellent talk on the way that Hollywood has manipulated movies with UFO-related themes over the years, especially where there is a military connection. This appears to include direct involvement from the CIA, who have actively changed scripts to ensure the subject is portrayed in certain ways. Robbie’s talk was very visual, with lots of movie posters and photographs, and the evidence he provided was fascinating. 📷 📷 As promised by Catrine, at the close of the day I was able to show the regression footage which I had not had time to show during my lecture. Unfortunately due to a technical hiccup we had no sound, but luckily I had subtitled the footage anyway so it was still quite watchable. I gave a voice over explaining some of what was being said, and it seemed to be well received. After talking a while with several contactees it was time to head for home. I loved having the chance to speak at the conference, and will more than happily return in the future if given the opportunity. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

In the summer of 2011, one of BUFOG’s members Adam Tustin decided that it would be a great idea for the group to organise a skywatch in the area of Cannock Chase. The chase is a well known UFO hotspot, and there have been many sightings over the years in the area. There has also been other strange activity reported including big cat sightings and ghostly phenomena. So it seemed like the ideal place to choose for BUFOG’s first ever official skywatch. And so it was that on the evening of Saturday 10th September, 16 people made their way out to Cannock Chase, North West of Birmingham. These people were made up of official BUFOG members, several contactees whose cases I have looked into, their partners, and others interested in the chance of maybe spotting something out of the ordinary. The weather through the day wasn’t looking too promising, alternating between periods of sunlight and then heavy showers. However we planned to head on out to Cannock Chase whatever the weather, with the intention that if it rained we would just remain in the bar where many of us initially met – The Barns on Cock Sparrow Lane. After chatting a while about UFOs over a pint, some of those present headed out to the place where the skywatch was due to take place. Adam knows the area well and recommended an area of forest and open fern-covered ground accessed via Broadhurst Green Road to the North of Cannock. I, my brother and others remained behind to wait for a few others to show up. About 15 minutes later we too headed outside to find that it was now absolutely tipping it down. Things were not looking too hopeful, but we decided to head on out to the skywatch location anyway. We drove in convoy and soon arrived at a small lay-by at the side of the road. 📷 Here we met up with the rest of the skywatchers. Almost immediately the rain ceased and the clouds above us began to part, exposing a star filled sky. There was also a full moon shining brightly. Things were looking up, but many of us took umbrellas and waterproofs along just in case. I took my chances in a leather jacket and T-shirt – it was actually quite a mild night and was quite still so was not too cold. Many of us brought torches, and I was especially impressed with BUFOG member Martin’s head mounted light! 📷 📷 We took some photos and then left the road along a gently sloping pathway. To the left of us was a large expanse of ferns, to our right some tall fir trees. It was quite clear and there was no fog, so made for a very pleasant walk. After several minutes we then took a left and continued up another steeper path. It was extremely quiet and peaceful – or rather it would have been except that we were all chatting away about UFOs and what we may or may not see! 📷 📷 📷 Within 5 minutes we reached a nice open area on the path, where a second path adjoined it and headed off into the forest. This was to be the official location for our skywatch. We put our bags down and began checking out the starry sky above us, while continuing to talk in groups. The location has superb visibility in most directions so is perfect for skywatching. There was still light cloud but luckily the rain had moved away and did not return. It is certainly a very atmospheric and open place, and was far enough away from the road to not be bothered by passing traffic. 📷 📷 We saw several satellites travelling across the sky, and also a number of “shooting stars” entering the earth’s atmosphere and quickly burning up. There were several distant planes with standard navigation lights, but none flew right overhead so we were clearly not in a flight corridor. 📷 For a number of weeks prior to the skywatch, one of the contactees had actually felt that she should go to the area of Cannock Chase. She did not know why she felt this, she was not even aware it was known as Cannock Chase before finding out off someone. She also for some reason had the time 11.36pm in her head, although she did not have a particular date. However she sensed that we were not at the right location and wanted to head further up the slope to see what was around. I felt that this was definitely worth pursuing, just in case something may take place. So we decided to head further uphill to the edge of a forested area of tall trees. Several paths led off into the darkness here, and I’m sure if there weren’t so many of us there it would have been pretty spooky! 📷 📷 📷 After a while we noticed a distant helicopter shining a search light down. It appeared to be looking for something. About 15 minutes later we suddenly heard the helicopter moving closer. But when we looked around we could barely see it. After locating it in the sky we realised it was flying with no lights on whatsoever. We all thought this was pretty strange, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a helicopter fly without lights on before. It flew pretty close to us and disappeared over the nearby trees. A few minutes later it returned, heading off to the South West, still with no lights on. We did not hear or see it again after this point. 📷 At about 11pm some of the skywatchers had to make their way home as they had travelled quite a distance. Five of us remained. We continued to watch the sky for a while but did not see anything unusual. Twenty minutes later we decided to walk into the forested area along one of the paths to see where it lead. However the path did not seem to head anywhere in particular, and if we had kept following it we would have just ended up at another road, so we decided to return to our prior position. 📷 We waited there and chatted a while longer. A couple of moments we felt that we could hear distant talking which was odd, but could possibly have been a breeze or nearby animals making noises. 11.36pm came and went with nothing seen in the sky. I’m pretty sure nothing took place, and there was no missing time or anything like that. But as the contactee said, she did not know the exact location or even the date so perhaps it was meant for another time and place entirely. 📷 Soon afterwards we decided to call it a night and headed back down the slope to the cars, the full moon still glowing brightly to light our way. Other than the helicopter with no lights we had not really seen anything unusual, but we had all had a really great evening and were in high spirits (I’m sure partially down to the fact that we had not got soaked). We will certainly be back to the location next year for another skywatch, and who knows what we may see next time. 📷 Photograph Anomalies After checking out the photos from the skywatch, my brother and I came across some photos which seemed to show glowing orbs of light or other anomalies in them. These were definitely not caused by our torches, but it is quite possible that many, if not all of them were caused by reflection in the camera lens from the full moon. However they are shown here for interest, so see what you make of them... Unexplained bright light seemingly close to the ground: 📷 The small white light towards the middle of the picture is the moon, so what's the much larger light at the left? 📷 Attack of the Cannock Chase orbs! 📷 The white light in this picture over our heads is much too low down to have been the moon: 📷 Something glowing or catching the moon light up in the branches of one of the nearby trees... 📷 📷 As I said, these can probably be explained away and I'm not suggesting for a moment that they are anything paranormal, especially as we didn't see any of them at the time with our own eyes. Still who can say for sure? Maybe something else was there with us that evening and wanted to make it's presence known. Either way, I'm sure BUFOG will be back to once again take Cannock Chase by storm! 📷 Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

Due to conflicts behind the scenes, the Rendlesham UFO conference nearly didn’t take place this year. Fortunately a group of dedicated individuals not only managed to salvage it, but also organise what was arguably one of the best single day conference line ups ever seen! Living in Birmingham it’s obviously quite a way down to Suffolk, but after taking a look at who was planned to speak at the conference there was no way I would have missed it for the world. So early in the morning of Sunday 17th June, I, my father Chris, brother Andrew and friend Adam set off on our way back to Rendlesham Forest for the second time (We had previously attended the 30th anniversary conference back in December 2010). The roads were pretty clear, and the weather also cut us a lucky break! After several days of rain the sun had decided to show itself, making the journey very pleasant indeed. We arrived at Woodbridge with only about 10 minutes to spare, and as we pulled into the Community Centre car park we all excitedly anticipated what the day had in store for us. I immediately ran into Sacha Christie having a sneaky cigarette at the back door of the venue. I have known Sacha for a number of years since meeting her at a previous conference, and regularly speak with her regarding cases I am investigating. Sacha is both a contactee and outspoken researcher. She is also a consultant for AMMACH (the Anomalous Mind Management Abductee and Contactee Helpline). She was not only billed as the first speaker of the day, but had also been involved in organising the conference. I also had the chance to briefly catch up with Larry Warren, whistle-blower of the Rendlesham UFO incident and one of the main organisers of the day, and UK UFO researcher Gary Heseltine. I have been friends with both Larry and Gary since they attended my wedding at the famous “black mailbox” on the outskirts of Area 51 back in 2010. 📷 We didn't have long to speak as we had to go and grab some seats before we ended up sitting on the back row! After meeting up with my brother’s associate in parapsychology, Simon, we managed to secure some places near the front. A moment later Larry appeared at the front to welcome everyone and give a brief introduction. It was clear how happy he was that the conference had gone ahead, and he provided some details of what lay ahead. It was soon time for Sacha Christie to take to the stage. Since her childhood Sacha has had numerous contact experiences, and her lecture focused on the incident which started it all. This experience completely changed her life in many different ways. It involved both her and her family while they were staying at a cottage in Wales. They witnessed a glowing UFO in the sky above them, and another glowing spherical object which landed nearby. There were many odd aspects to the incident and it has troubled her ever since. 📷 Sacha then showed a short video film of her recent return to the cottage where the incident took place. She did not speak with the current owners of the cottage, but did walk around the grounds. This video was both fascinating and touching. It was clear how much the experience had affected her, and how un-nerved she was to return to where it had happened. The remainder of her passionate talk focused on the lack of support that contactees have and how they are generally regarded in a negative light by the public. She believes that contactees need to work together and help each other, rather than continue to search for answers which may never be found. After a short break it was time for Robert Salas  to give a talk on one of the most stunning and important American UFO incidents to have ever taken place, an event that he was directly involved with. Back in 1967 Robert was a Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander at Malmstrom AFB in Montana. One morning he was contacted by the NCO in charge of site security, who informed him that a number of unidentified lights had been seen in the vicinity. Minutes later he rang back and informed Robert that there was a red glowing saucer-shaped UFO hovering just outside the front gate! Robert woke his commander and began informing him of what he had been told. A moment later the armed missiles began to shut down one by one in rapid succession. The chance of this happening to so many was near impossible. It appeared that the UFO had sent out a signal which had shut down the missiles. This became known as the Echo Flight incident. 📷 After covering what took place, Robert then spoke of the cover up of the incident. He showed numerous documents released through the Freedom Of Information Act which proved that this was the case, and that certain people had tried to brush the whole incident under the carpet. Robert also covered many other similar incidents which have taken place at missile launch facilities in numerous countries right up to as recent as 2010! The implications of these incidents are both far reaching and profound. It was then time for lunch, and during the break an old CNN documentary on Rendlesham was shown. I was informed that this was well worth a watch, but I spent the majority of the time chatting with the various speakers. 📷 📷 The next talk was from American crop formation researcher and MUFON field investigator Jennifer Stein. I have seen many lectures on crop formations over the years, but I have to admit this was one of the best I have ever seen on this intriguing aspect of ufology. A lot of the time this angle of the subject inevitably has a “new age” tinge to it. But Jennifer’s lecture stuck closely to the facts and was presented in a very scientific manner. She provided some fascinating physical evidence that seems to suggest that there is much more to crop formations than just cleverly done hoaxes. Her lecture included many photographs, video sequences and drawings, and was very enjoyable indeed. 📷 Jennifer is well aware that many of the formations seen are hoaxed. However some of them appear to be made by an energy force which has strange effects on both the crop and the soil, and can even be detected in the surrounding area as well as just the formation itself. She presented evidence which link the formations to glowing orbs, but also looked into the possibility that the formations are naturally occurring. In addition to this she discussed the apparent military interest in these formations and the fact that black helicopters have often been seen in the vicinity. So far we’d heard about abductions, missile shut downs and crop formations, but it was now time to hear the latest on the incident the conference was themed around. Fortunately the next speaker was Gary Heseltine, one of the key UFO investigators who has looked into the case in depth over recent years. Gary’s credentials as a police detective constable means that he looks at the UFO subject in a logical manner, and assesses the evidence as he would do a crime that has been committed. He is extremely impressed with the Rendlesham Forest incident, and believes it to be one of the most important UFO cases which has ever taken place. 📷 Over the years numerous sceptics and debunkers of the incident have stated that when Colonel Halt and the other soldiers saw lights through the trees, and later a red glowing UFO, they were really just seeing the pulsing light from the lighthouse in the distance. Gary began his talk by completely blowing this theory out of the water. He showed some night vision footage he had taken at Capel Green, the field where the soldiers sighted a glowing red UFO hovering close to the ground. He pointed out the location where Halt had stated the UFO was situated, and then pointed out the location of the lighthouse. It was clear that these locations were completely different and that there was no way whatsoever that this would have been responsible for what was seen. The remainder of Gary’s talk focused on what took place over the three nights that make up the incident. He covered all the key points in the order in which they occurred. He also explained that there are likely to be other witnesses from the base who are yet to come forward. They would certainly have seen the UFO shine lights down into the weapons storage area, and may also have gone up the control tower for a look at what was occurring out in the forest. As always Gary’s lecture was well structured and very interesting. While Gary knows a lot about the case, nothing beats hearing about it from the people who were actually there at the time. And who better to speak than the original whistle-blower of the case, Larry Warren? The next lecture was a joint talk given by both him and Peter Robbins, UFO researcher and co-author of the book Left At East Gate. Both Larry and Peter have experienced so much over the years, and they spoke passionately about the journey they had been on which had led to this point. 📷 Larry’s claims about what took place on the third night of the incident have always been the most controversial aspect of the entire case – a close encounter with both a craft and its occupants, and a clear indication that the base commander knew this was going to take place. Extraordinary claims of course require extraordinary evidence. And it is exactly this which Peter presented during the talk. Evidence including medical records proving that Larry’s retinas had been burnt and that he had been exposed to a powerful energy source, documents proving that he was treated unfairly by the military following the incident and details of other witnesses who have also come forward to speak about the third night. 📷 However the most controversial part of the talk was still to come. Earlier this year there was a special radio programme on the Rendlesham incident. Many speakers appeared on this, including Larry and Colonel Halt. During this show Halt openly admitted that he was present on the third night. Peter began by mentioning Halt’s statement on this show. He then displayed some video footage of Halt taken at a recent UFO conference. In this footage, Halt completely dismisses Larry’s claims and accuses him of making it all up. Read into this what you will. The day had flown by faster than an unidentified blip on the radar. We now had an hour to relax and get some dinner. Our group decided to head on up the road to the Cherry Tree, a quaint pub just up the road from the venue. I ended up sitting alongside some of the sound crew from the conference. After a decent meal and quick pint it was time to return for the evening lectures. 📷 We sneaked back in just in time for Timothy Good’s highly anticipated talk. Tim is one of the world’s most highly renowned UFO researchers. He has interviewed many high ranking military personnel, astronauts and governmental figures over the years, and written numerous excellent books on the subject. The majority of Tim’s lecture focused on the W56 group. This case involves a race of humanoid aliens who lived on Earth from the 1950s to the 1970s in secret underground bases which they constructed using advanced technology.Tim has spoken to numerous witnesses involved with this case and believes it to be genuine. As evidence for these claims Tim showed a number of black and white photographs reporting to show hovering craft, and even photos apparently showing a couple of these aliens, one of which was close to ten feet tall! 📷 The implications of all of this should it be true are huge, but I was left with a lot of questions and felt that it would have been nice to see some more substantial evidence to back up these claims. However Tim’s credentials in the subject should not be ignored and I’m certain he has good reason to believe the case to be legitimate. There is no doubt much more to this than he had time to cover in his talk, and the case will surely feature heavily in his next book. After a quick break it was time for the final speaker of the conference, a speaker who will need no introductions for anyone with a good knowledge of the contact subject: retired police constable Alan Godfrey. With a background in after dinner speaking, we were in for a thought provoking and at times amusing talk. Alan became famous in the world of ufology when on 28th November 1980 he had a close encounter with a UFO while on patrol. This involved a period of missing time, and after a while he decided to go for hypnotic regression to see if he could get these missing memories back. Under hypnosis he recalled being taken aboard the craft and undergoing an examination procedure by a number of short beings. Alan talked us through the details of his experience, even alluding to the fact that he was not entirely convinced that he had been abducted. I felt that in some ways this gave even more weight to his case, as he has clearly considered alternative explanations for what happened to him. 📷 Alan not only spoke of his own experience, he also spoke of Zigmund Adamski, a man who had previously turned up dead under very unusual circumstances. Alan was one of the two officers who were initially called to the scene. Many people feel that Zigmund had been abducted, and that his death was in some way linked to what happened to Alan later the same year. Although Alan personally felt that the man had been tortured by someone rather than taken by aliens, he admitted that there were some very strange aspects to his death. Alan ended his talk with some humorous tales from his job in the police force, followed by a Q&A. This was apparently to be the last time Alan would speak publically about his experience, and it was the perfect way to bring the conference to a close. After a few final words by Larry the Rendlesham Conference 2012 was officially over. However for our group it was not yet time to travel home. We next had plans to head on out to the forest, which seemed like the right thing to do given the circumstances. 📷 📷 📷 I was pleased to find out that Brenda Butler would be joining us. Brenda is a local investigator; experiencer, author, and one of the first people to look into the Rendlesham incident. This meant we had our very own forest tour guide! Good thing too, as although I’d been there before I was still pretty sure it would be easy to get lost. Also along for the adventure was Brenda’s niece Beverley, a man we had sat near to at the conference, a contactee whose case I have investigated, her husband and some other gents who we had not previously met. Luckily for us the weather was quite clear, although the moon was hidden by cloud cover. We arrived at the Visitors Centre car park in near complete darkness, and met up with Brenda, who was already taking photographs hoping to pick up anything paranormal on camera. Much to our surprise she asked us to turn our torches off, and we soon realised we would be wandering around the forest with minimal light sources. This would have been creepy enough, but to make matters worse Brenda and Bev started to tell us all about the various ETs and ghosts they had witnessed in the forest over the years! Needless to say we were on high alert for the slightest movement from the undergrowth. 📷 Walking along the path that leads up to East Gate, it wasn’t long before we had our first glowing orb sighting. However this glowing orb turned out to be a brightly illuminated glow worm! By the time we reached the gate we’d seen about 20 of them along the edges of the path. It was the first time I’d ever seen glow worms, so this was certainly one of the highlights of our walk. We soon reached the famous gate where Jim Penniston and John Burroughs had first sighted the lights through the trees back in 1980. After posing for some photos we made our way back to the car park. From here we headed into the forest in the direction of Capel Green. The forest was extremely still, quiet and atmospheric. We discussed the speakers of the day as we made our way along the tracks. 📷 📷 Our first destination was the official “landing site”, marked out with three wooden posts. It is believed by many to not be the actual location where the triangular craft was situated, but was still certainly worth a look. Moving onward, we soon came to the edge of Capel Green, the location of numerous key events of the Rendlesham incident. I was pleased to see the lighthouse pulsing away in the distance, as last time I was at the forest it was extremely foggy and could not be seen. We stayed at the green for about 15 minutes during which Brenda enthusiastically told us about some of the UFO sightings she had experienced there. 📷 📷 Heading back into the trees, we began our walk back along the tracks to the Visitor Centre, stopping briefly at a tree known to have an Steven Spielberg ET face shaped notch in its trunk. As with most round trips the return walk seemed to take twice as long. 📷 Finally at around 2am we reached the car park bringing our exploration of the forest to a close. We hadn’t had any encounters (unless you count the glow worms), but it had been a superb end to a truly great day. While my brother, father and friend lay back in their seats and began to snore, I took a quick gulp of Red Bull and began the long drive back to Birmingham.... Copyright Dave Hodrien 2012

The Weird 09 Paranormal Conference took place at the Athenaeum Theatre in Warminster, Wiltshire, on Saturday 29th- Sunday 30th August 2009. Warminster is one of the UK’s biggest UFO hot spots, and was made famous by the UFO flap that occurred there in the late 70s – early 80s. Myself and Kate drove down early on the Saturday morning and arrived shortly before the first lecture kicked off. We met up with other BUFOG members Larry & Pam Potter, and after briefly chatting with some of the researchers who would be speaking at the conference it was time to take our seats. 📷 📷 The theatre was a great venue for the lectures, it had two levels of tiered and comfortable seats and was extremely dark. The host of the conference was Ross Hemsworth, the presenter of the Saturday night TV show Now THAT’S Weird and researcher of the paranormal. Ross is a very confident speaker and was an ideal choice to host Weird 09. He gave a brief and amusing introduction before Kevin Goodman took to the stage. Kevin Goodman is part of UFO Warminster, a group dedicated to keeping Warminster’s flame burning. When he was young he visited Warminster many times for UFO sky watches and has had some stunning UFO sightings in the area, as well as possibly witnessed contact from an extraterrestrial life form channelled through one of his friends. His lecture focused mostly on Arthur Shuttlewood, the lead investigator into the Warminster sightings back in the 1970s. He also covered one of his own UFO sightings where him and his friends saw a silver disc-shaped object in broad daylight. Kevin’s lecture kick-started the conference in great style and featured many interesting photographs. His obvious enthusiasm for his work always shines through and this was no exception. At the end of his talk he provided everyone with details for the planned Saturday evening sky watch, which I was certainly looking forward to. 📷 In the break I took a brief look round the dealer rooms, and met some of the band CEIV, something I have wanted to do for many years! CEIV are one of the only UK bands dedicated to the UFO subject. Their songs cover many different aspects of the phenomena and are well worth checking out. I even got a photo taken with the band mascot Tor - a life-size model Grey adorned in various metal studs and tattoos! We also met up with other BUFOG members Zoe & Ian who had arrived late and unfortunately missed Kevin’s lecture. 📷 📷 📷 The next speaker was ex-MoD UFO investigator Nick Pope. His talk was based around the latest UFO documents to be released by the Ministry of Defence. This has been ongoing for a couple of years now, and in the end Nick says that all UFO-related documents will be in the public domain. The latest reports were a mix of sightings, some more impressive than others. One of the one’s recently released describes a radar sighting of an object over a mile wide! Nick believes that the MoD is not with-holding information and is as mystified by UFOs as everyone else. I am resident to completely believe this, I think in a number of incidents the truth has been bent and information has been covered up, however they are certainly opening up a lot more than they would have several years ago. The question is – is this part of a gradual planned disclosure or not? Nick’s lecture was highly enjoyable and if you missed it, he will be speaking at BUFOG in December. 📷 After grabbing a much needed snack from the Subway across the road, it was time for Hayley Steven’s lecture entitled “Is There Anybody Out There?” This moved away from the subject of UFOs and instead delved into the existence of ghostly phenomena. Hayley is the founder of Wiltshire Phenomena Research. Over the years she has seen some very spooky things, and yet remains sceptical of a lot of the reports that come her way. She has a very rational way of thinking and believes that a lot of the sightings can be disproved. 📷 Part of Hayley’s talk revolved around an experiment that we were all invited to partake in. Everyone was given a pen and paper. We were shown a number of related words for an amount of time on screen, and then had to remember the words we had seen and write them down. The words were all related to different tastes and dessert food items. When she asked us what words we had written down, many of us had put down the word “sweet” even though it was not actually in the words we had been shown. I admit I fell for this. We then tried the experiment a second time. This time the words were all related to feelings of anger. Despite the word “angry” not being in the list, again many people including myself wrote it down. This experiment was done to prove that sometimes our mind can be deceived into remembering things that in fact did not take place. Hayley suggests that this may be the case for some reported paranormal incidents. This seems logical and certainly a possibility, and everyone enjoyed taking part in the experiment. 📷 📷 After heading down the hotel where we were staying at to sign in and grab some lunch, it was time for Brian Allan’s fascinating lecture entitled “The Rosslyn Frequency”. This talk went over the discoveries Brian had made relating to the medieval Rosslyn Chapel. He believes that the chapel holds the key to opening a doorway to another dimension, and that numerous “doorways” of this type exist around the planet. He showed us carvings on the chapel walls which give clues that this is the location for one of these portals. After much research he has discovered that the chapel has been built to resonate with a particular frequency of sound wave. He obtained special permission to test this theory with a number of others present. When this sound was played within the chapel, he says that something unusual happened next to one of the altars, he believes that the doorway was partially opened. Since this incident he has found out that light may also play a part in opening the portal, and hopes that in the future he will be allowed once more to test this at the chapel. His field of research is fascinating and it was a very interesting talk indeed. 📷 The final speaker of the day was Peter McCue, a retired clinical psychologist who is now a member of the Society for Psychical Research. He gave a lecture exploring the link between ghostly phenomena and building renovation work. I had not heard of this apparent link before so it was another very interesting talk. He described numerous examples where renovations on old buildings had apparently caused the appearance of ghostly phenomena such as poltergeists, unexplained sounds and apparitions. Peter believes that some reported paranormal phenomena is probably genuine and should not be dismissed without proper evidence to suggest otherwise. 📷 The first day of the conference finished about five o’clock. We then headed back to our hotel for several hours to await the start of the sky watch. I drove up to Cradle Hill just before 8pm. Kate could not make the sky watch but Larry and Pam were there. Cradle Hill lies just to the North of the town and was only several minutes drive away. Everyone congregated around the area known as the “white gates”. The gates no longer exist but used to be present back in the 1970s-80s. The white gates area lies right next to army-owned land so the organisers of the sky watch had asked informed them we would be there. The area is one of the most popular places for sky watches as there is a fantastic view of the sky in all directions. A road leads up from the white gates to the copse, a small area of trees with a barn, where much unusual activity and sightings have been recorded. 📷 📷 📷 When I first arrived there were already over forty people present including a TV crew with some professional camera equipment. I chatted with a number of people including Kevin Goodman and Malcolm Robinson. Soon afterwards the light began to fade in the sky so I decided to walk up to the copse before it got pitch black so I could take a look at the area. I took some photos on the way up the road which seem to show orbs, although I believe this was probably because of the fast diminishing light conditions. Once I reached the copse I took a look at the barn and found some UFO graffiti someone had drawn. I then went to stand on the far side of the copse with a number of others and watched as the evening light faded to darkness. At this point there was still quite a bit of cloud cover with only patchy areas of clear sky. 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 At about 10pm I walked back down to the white gates to meet up with the main body of sky watchers. Zoe and Ian finally turned up after a visit to Avebury. As time went by, the sky slowly cleared to reveal a star-filled sky. We could make out numerous satellites on their orbital paths. 📷 It was approximately 11pm, when suddenly we noticed some unusual flashes of light coming from far away to the North North East. They were in the distance but lit up an area of the sky a bright blue/white colour. The flashes were intermittent and lasted for about five seconds. It seemed very unlikely they were caused by lightning as firstly there was no sound of thunder and secondly the weather was very clear and calm. If they were a fireworks display I would have expected to see various colours and also it seemed very late to be having a display. They probably had a rational explanation but are currently unidentified. About half an hour later there were roughly twenty people still left, everyone else had headed back down to the town. Suddenly someone pointed out an object to our South. It was moving very fast, at first I thought it must be a military jet. But as it got closer we could hear no sound coming from it. I could not make out a shape against the dark sky but it had an unusual dark green-blue coloured light on it. Every three seconds a very bright white light would flare up and then die back down. It was very unusual and the lights seen were not consistent with any known aircraft or helicopter, military or civilian. The object passed to our East and then turned till it was heading in a North East East direction away from us. Even when it had gone out of sight we could still make out the white flaring light for another minute. I did try to record it on video but sadly it was so dark nothing came out. However others may have captured something, and Ian got an audio recording from when we first spotted it. I fully expected someone to be able to tell me what the object had been, but when I walked around and checked everyone present was as mystified as I was! So far this object has not been identified so it is a genuine UFO, the first one I have ever seen. I have written a detailed report on this sighting which can be found in the Reported UFOs section of this website. 📷 It got to roughly midnight when something else caught everyone’s attention. There was a sudden glow of yellow light which moved very fast to the left and then back to the right under the light cloud to the East of Cradle Hill. Before vanishing. I only managed to see the last second of it as I was looking the other direction at the time. We were all discussing it when several minutes later it returned as a stationary light. It then slowly moved left a touch before vanishing again. It continued to reappear and vanish and after several minutes were realised it was a search light coming up from the nearby military base. We assumed that they were doing it on purpose as a joke because they knew the sky watch was in progress! I left Cradle Hill with Zoe and Ian about 12.15am, and felt very contented at how well the sky watch had gone and that we had seen some unusual activity. On Sunday morning before the lectures began, people were chatting about what had taken place. Kevin thought that perhaps it was some sort of hoax set up in response to the sky watch, but if it was remote controlled it was moving very fast and also must have had a very long range as the object had vanished into the distance. Currently it remains a valid UFO sighting. 📷 Sunday kicked off with a lecture by Joe McGonagle. It covered discrepancies in the UFO documents released by the Ministry of Defence that may point to a cover up of information. The information given in his talk was valid, although for first thing in the morning the lecture was rather wordy and I think some people found it hard to concentrate. Joe pointed out various mistakes that the MoD had made while writing up sightings of UFOs. He believes that more care and attention to detail should have been made in certain circumstances. 📷 Next up was a fascinating lecture about the Men In Black by well renowned ufologist Nick Redfern, who was specially visiting the UK from Dallas where he now lives. He covered a number of historic cases of the Men In Black and talked about the various possible explanations for them, to coincide with his book “On The Trail Of The Saucer Spies”. Since the US freedom of information act, Nick has been able to retrieve documents which prove that in some cases the MIB have been governmental agents sent to investigate UFO witnesses and contactees. However in other cases, they appear to be far more sinister and could even be extraterrestrial beings. It’s a shame that his lecture did not include any very recent cases as I am sure that visitations by the Men in Black do still take place. 📷 Paul Devereux was next to take to the podium, and gave a talk with a difference. His lecture was entitled Walking With Spirits, and was about the historic spirit paths that pass across the UK and Ireland. These spirit paths are lines which the dead are said to travel along to move between places. Paul provided evidence that ghostly activity has been recorded on these hidden paths. He has also found evidence that stiles were historically used as a location where spirits could be divined and interrogated. It was a really interesting talk and one backed up with some highly believable evidence, Paul had obviously looked into the subject in great depth and was a true expert on it. 📷 Over the Sunday lunch break, I got to see some video screenings of interviews with UFO researchers Dr David Clarke and Steve Dewey. It was great hearing the opinions of other researchers who could not actually be present at the conference. I also took part in an experiment ASUS were running. People partaking in the experiment had to independently watch a short clip of UFO video footage and then answer some questions on what they think they had just seen. The footage seemed to show a dull metallic looking sphere. I was informed afterwards that the footage is actually fake. 📷 The first lecture of the afternoon was my favourite of the entire weekend. It was by contactee Mike Oram and was entitled “From Warminster to Area 51”. Mike discussed in detail a recent highly unusual incident that had happened to him and his wife while out near the gate to Area 51 and the infamous Little A’le’inn. When he took a photograph at the gate, an unidentified truck had driven out of the facility towards them. He got back in his car and drove away but soon realised the truck was tailing them. He then sprung a flat tyre, but all of a sudden the truck had completely vanished. Rather than change the tyre straight away, for an unknown reason he had driven quite a distance to a garage. Here he met two unusual men and a staring young child who also appeared to have turned up from nowhere. Later at the Little A’le’inn Mike saw unidentified lights in the sky and went missing for a period of time. 📷 Later he had decided to go for hypnotic regression to try and find out what happened. The story that unfolded was fascinating. The truck had apparently caught up their car. On the back of it was a strange device which opened up some sort of portal. Mike was lead through this by military personnel and then found himself in a facility (he assumes inside Area 51) where there were both American military and alien beings working together. The two men and child he had met at the garage turned out to be two humanoid beings who he had seen numerous times before through his life, and a small Grey-like being with a large head. The incident was completely fascinating, and Mike presented it in a very open and believable way. I decided to buy his book “Does It Rain In Other Dimensions?” to read more about his life-long experiences. 📷 Many people were quite tired by the time of the final lecture of the conference. It was a good thing then that it was by Malcolm Robinson , who’s passion and liveliness for his work is both obvious and infectious. Malcolm is the director of SPI – Scottish Paranormal Investigations. I have seen him numerous times before and he is a true expert in the paranormal field, with over 30 years experience. His lecture this time was all about photographs reportedly showing ghostly apparitions. These included many famous ones which I had seen before, and a number of newer ones which were really spooky indeed! He also showed some other photos which contained apparent apparitions of the Virgin Mary. He explained how some apparition photographs are merely tricks of the light and what is known as a simulacrum – where we put shapes together to make more sense of what we are looking at. However to counteract this he showed a number of photos which quite clearly appeared to show ghostly figures and faces, and by the end of it the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up! I’m sure many others present had a troubled night’s sleep. 📷 Ross took to the stage at the end of the conference to congratulate the organisers and speakers. It was a fantastic two days and I will certainly be back for Weird 10 next summer. 📷 Me, Kate, Zoe and Ian ended our trip to Warminster with a final drive back up to the white gates for some daylight photographs. The fog had started to roll in, making the copse look especially creepy. I was grateful that we had had such a clear night on the Saturday. With one final glance round the sky, we departed for home, confident that this would not be the last time we would stand upon Cradle Hill on the look out for UFOs… 📷 Copyright Dave Hodrien 2009

On the evening of Saturday 22nd June 2019 BUFOG headed out to a location we had never chosen before for a sky watch – Barr Beacon in Walsall. Only 3 miles out of Walsall town centre, Barr Beacon is one of the highest points in the Midlands with a superb panoramic view of the sky. It is also the first urban nature reserve to be awarded the "Dark Sky Discovery Site" status by national astronomy and environmental organisations. On the summit is a stone war memorial, which made it a very picturesque choice for a watch (as well as providing a form of shelter should we have needed it – which luckily we didn’t) We initially met up at Farmer Johns Streetly pub. It is a very popular bar but luckily we managed to grab a table in one of the corners. After a while we headed outside and relaxed in the beer garden. We stayed there for about 90 minutes, discussing everything from the recently leaked Vice Admiral Thomas Wilson document to the Mandela Effect. 📷 📷 📷 It was then time to head for the Beacon, which was only 5 minutes drive away. The official car park is locked after 7.30pm and by now it was about 8.45pm. Luckily we had previously managed to secure the keys for the gate, so were granted access. Working out how to actually open the gate was a bit of a mission but we got there in the end and made our way up to the top. There were a few other visitors up there who were no doubt confused as to how we’d managed to get past the locked gate! 📷 📷 📷 The car park we had decided to use was a little further away from the sky watch location than I had first anticipated, and we had brought quite a bit of gear with us including camping chairs, temporary BBQs and food to cook. But between us it was light work and after a short walk along the edge of Barr Beacon reservoir we finally arrived at the war memorial. Waiting for us were Multidimensional Show hosts Dave and Rachel and their friend, who had decided to head straight up the memorial and meet us there. 📷 📷 📷 📷 The location did not disappoint! It was a lovely evening with a clear view of the sky in all directions. The white stone war memorial looked stunning in the setting sunlight, and we sat down on the grass-covered slope which leads up to it. While exploring the memorial I discovered a couple seated on the far side who were just there to relax rather than for the sky watch. We had a brief chat and they informed me that a number of years ago they had seen an unidentified black coloured cylindrical shaped object in the sky from the location. I soon re-joined the other watchers on the grass. After socialising a short while we were joined by several late arrivals. 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 Not long after we decided it was time for Dave and Rachel to conduct what is known as a CE5 protocol. This is essentially a guided meditation performed in an attempt to initiate ET contact and bring in craft to our location. After reading out an introductory passage, most of us took part in the meditation session, following the wording provided by a Youtube video played on Dave’s phone. The session took about 10 minutes after which we all felt quite relaxed. 📷 After this we began doing what we had set out to do – watch the skies! It wasn’t long before my friend Chris mentioned that several times he had seen a small white flash of light in a particular location in the sky, like a stationary strobe light. I asked him to point out the position and looked around to where he had seen it. Within moments I too saw it, just once. We continued to watch but it did not make any further appearances. It was too anomalous to be considered something significant, but interesting none the less. 📷 📷 My girlfriend Tasha then kindly lit up the temporary BBQs and began to cook everyone some burgers, sausages and lamb kebabs. A light breeze had picked up by this time and with the setting of the sun the temperature had definitely started to drop. Some of us crowded around the BBQs to keep warm. Around this time a local hiker arrived at the monument and I filled him in on what we were up to. Soon everyone else moved from the grass to the stone path which leads up to the monument and we all enjoyed some hot food. 📷 📷 Around 11.30pm we headed inside the war memorial for a while. There is a central stone plinth with a map of the area on top. We crowded around this in a circle and I proceeded to read out a news article and details of a number of Walsall-based cases I had investigated. 📷 We stayed on the steps of the memorial a while longer looking up at the sky, which was partially cloudy but some stars could be made out. By 12.30am most of the sky watchers were starting to get a bit chilly so we decided to call it a night, but not before taking a couple of final shots on the steps, which included the terrifying appearance of a strange being with glowing light for a face, as you can see below... 📷 📷 📷 We left the memorial, headed back to the cars by torchlight and made our way back home. While we had not had any definite sightings, other than the white point of light, everyone was in high spirits. We will definately be making a return to the Beacon in the future!
