Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 13/12/2015 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Red Orb On an evening in November 2003/2004 Jason was walking along Sandfields Road in Oldbury. It was cloudy but dry. The sun was setting but there was still some light in the sky. Looking to the North West in the direction of Sedgley Hill Jason noticed what initially appeared to be a bright white star-like light. It was slowly moving in his direction. It appeared to be about 1000 feet up. As it got nearer and reached the grass fields along the North edge of the road it gradually turned until it was moving aligned to the road heading Eastward. Aerial map of Sandfields Road indicating the fields over which the UFO traveled: As it neared the end of the road where Jason was standing it began to dim in brightness. It then flared back up changing to a brilliant red colour. It appeared to be massive in size, similar to a small red-coloured sun. It was very bright but Jason was still able to observe it directly by squinting. The red light shining from the UFO reminded him of a laser pen. He was quite frightened by the objects appearance but continued to watch it. Without warning it began to descend, dimming as it went until it vanished from sight. Witness drawing of the red orb: Jason was convinced that he had seen something highly unusual. He was aware of what aircraft look like after dark and also of Chinese lanterns, but this looked completely different to anything he had seen before. Soon after the sighting Jason found out that one of his friends who lived about ½ a mile away had also observed the same object. It certainly appears that Jason and his friend may have witnessed something out of the ordinary. If it was an aircraft or helicopter it is likely that other navigation lights/strobes would have been visible when the object approached. The red glow coming off the UFO was intense enough to give the impression of a spherical shape of great size, I find it unlikely that an aircraft light would appear in this manner. It was clearly impressive enough to have got the attention of Jason’s friend in addition to himself, meaning that it cannot have just been down to his individual interpretation. The apparent size of the object also suggests that it was not a lantern. These tend to be amber orange in colour rather than red, and even though it would be possible for a lantern to perform the observed manoeuvres I feel this is unlikely to be the explanation in this case. However a larger electronically lit inflatable of some kind cannot be entirely ruled out. Jason wonders if an unusual atmospheric event such as an earth light was to blame. However it was not stormy weather, and earth lights tend to appear over rural areas rather than towns and usually only last for a brief amount of time. Ghostly Fire The orb sighting is not the only unusual incident which Jason has experienced. In 1997 when he was 15 years old he used to regularly head to Baggeridge Country Park in Sedgley on his BMX. One evening autumn he and his friend Steve met up at the adventure playground for a while. It was 9.30pm and getting dark so they decided to head on back. They started walking along the path that led back to the top of the hill alongside Himley Gardens. Aerial map showing the area of Baggeridge Park where the path lies: Jason was a little bit further along the path than Steve. He suddenly noticed a glowing light about 20 feet from the edge of the path visible in the darkness. Looking more closely he saw what appeared to be a huge fire with flames reaching 15-17 feet into the air. Standing next to the fire he could see the silhouette of a figure. He immediately thought that this figure may be someone burning a body out of the prying eyes of the public. Suddenly Jason heard Steve shout at him from along the path. He motioned to him to be quiet and they both continued to watch the figure by the fire. Steve got quite spooked out so they decided to head back home. When they arrived back at the houses Jason said goodbye to Steve. He was about to go home himself but the urge to return to the hill was too great. Five minutes later he arrived back at the path. But the fire was nowhere to be seen! It had completely vanished. It was too dark to have a proper look around so Jason called it a night and headed back. The following morning he went back to the path and had a walk around the area. There was absolutely no sign that there had ever been a fire there. It was a complete mystery. The flames had seemingly been much too large to be put out in the short amount of time that he left the area on the previous evening. And even if the figure had put them out there would have been remnants of a fire left behind to see now that it was daylight. It is possible that the fire was situated at a different location to where it appeared to be, but Jason was familiar with the area so surely he would have found the site when he went looking for it. The area was too remote for it to have been a reflection of house/street lighting, and it was close enough for him to see the actual flames rather than just an orange glow. Could the fire and figure have been an apparition? Even though this sounds improbable, given the facts of the incident it is certainly worth considering. Either way, this is a bizarre, and some would say rather spooky, incident. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2015

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 28/10/2015 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Sighting Details On the morning of Tuesday 20th October 2015, Neil was working in the garden of his cottage which lies between Henley-In-Arden and Claverdon, Warwickshire. It was a bright sunny morning with very little cloud in the sky. It was approximately 9.30am when he heard a loud whooshing noise which he initially thought was coming from the neighbour’s garden. As the sound increased in volume he realised it was coming from the sky. Looking up into the section of sky visible between the trees either side of the avenue he observed a very peculiar shaped object. Aerial map showing the route between Henley-In-Arden (A) and Claverdon (B): It appeared to be between 8-10 feet in length and either silver or white in colour. It was made up of cylindrical tubes. There appeared to be bright white lights flashing on and off randomly on the underside of the object. There was no visible means of propulsion, propellers or trail. Witness drawing of the UFO: The UFO appeared to be at a height of about 150-200 feet. The UFO was travelling to the East on a level and straight course about 40-50 mph. It remained at the same angle without any rotation. Neil observed the object for about 10-15 seconds before it vanished from sight behind the trees. He tried to move position to continue watching it, but could not find anywhere suitable. He was baffled by what he had just witnessed. Later on Neil told several members of his family about the sighting, who had varying degrees of scepticism towards it. He rang the local police to see if they had received any other reports about the object but they informed him they had not. The police suggested he should ring the Civil Aviation Authority, which he did. They were unable to provide any explanation to what he may have seen. He also checked on the news to see if anyone else had seen it but nothing was mentioned. Sighting Analysis The shape of the object seen in this sighting is very unusual indeed, and I have not dealt with any previous reports of something exactly this shape before. It was clearly not any normal type of aircraft or military drone. The most likely mundane explanations for the object would be an unusual inflatable or solar airship. It is possible that the white lights the witness saw on the base of the object were in fact the bright sunlight catching it, although Neil feels certain they were lights not reflections. The object was certainly small enough to be an inflatable. Solar airships are usually larger than the apparent size of the object, are a single black-coloured cylinder, but perhaps it was an unusual novelty shape or even home-made. Also it was a bright sunny morning, ideal conditions for launching such an object. However there are a number of issues with these explanations. Firstly if it was an inflatable/solar airship it is very unlikely it would have been making any audible sound. Also if it was drifting on an air current you would expect there to be some rotation in the object as it moved, yet the witness says it was not turning at all, and appeared to be under controlled flight. If it was not an inflatable or solar airship then what could it have been? Due to the size and apparent size of the object it is very unlikely it was manned, but there is a possibility it was some kind of radio controlled model. Or could it have been an automated drone, perhaps of non-human origin? It is unlikely we will ever know for sure. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2015

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 05/10/2015 Last Updated : 23/06/2020 Introduction Alyson Dunlop is a member of SPI (Strange Phenomena Investigations) Scotland and a paranormal radio host on Enemy Within Radio. In September 2015 she saw my talk at UFO Truth Magazine Conference in Holmfirth. This prompted her to speak with me about her own experiences, some of which appear to be contact related. In early October she invited me to talk on her radio show, and we have kept in touch ever since. Sleep Paralysis Alyson has experienced sleep paralysis for many years. Some of these incidents have involved hpnogogic hallucinations and the appearance of entities. In 1999 when she was 28 years old Alyson lived in a flat on Prospecthill Circus, Toryglen with her partner “Martin” (Name changed for privacy reasons). One night in December she was having a nightmare about vampires. She awoke from this dream to find the entire room bathed in a dull blue glowing light with no obvious source. As far as she was aware it was still fully dark outside. Martin was fast asleep alongside her. Alyson felt un-nerved so leaned over to her right and shook him a couple of times calling his name, but he did not stir. Aerial map of Prospecthill Circus: Photograph Alyson found which is representative of the blue glow in the room: Suddenly she was violently pushed backward onto the bed and found she could no longer move or make a sound. A humanoid figure was crouched over her. He had a pale white face with black eyes and long black hair. In the hair was tied a number of red, blue and white coloured ribbons. Alyson believes he was wearing black coloured clothing although she did not see this clearly. The figure’s face was extremely frightening to look at and she sensed he was extremely evil. Drawing Alyson found which looks similar to the pale faced figure: In the far corner of the room stood an elderly hag-like woman wearing a white coloured night dress. She was laughing into her hands. The pale faced figure leered towards her and pointed at her with one long fingernail and said “You thought you could get away from me, didn’t you?” He then reached down and began to scrape at her throat. Alyson felt that he was there to kill her. As she was paralysed she could not escape from this attack. She backed her head into the pillow as hard as she could. Eventually she passed out, and did not wake till the morning. After this terrifying incident Alyson was understandably frightened to go to sleep. She began to stay up much later, but would usually drop off in the end through tiredness. About a week later she experienced paralysis again. She woke up and found she could not move. The blue glowing light was there again but no figures. However this time she found that she could still speak. Martin was still awake and in the adjoining room. She shouted out for him. He came into the bedroom and was able to bring her round before anything else took place. Following these experiences Alyson began looking into sleep paralysis and found out that many other people had seen very similar entities to those she had witnessed, and described similar incidents. Since then she has experienced sleep paralysis roughly once every 1-2 years. Most of the time she just senses a presence in the room. The last time it occurred was in June 2015. She awoke to find that she could not move. Alongside her bed was a brown creature which had a grotesque smile on its face. She realised she was experiencing sleep paralysis so started to chant “Go to sleep” in her head. As she did this the creature slowly closed its eyes, and then the paralysis ended and it faded away. It is clear that there is some cross-over regarding aspects of contact and aspects of sleep paralysis and hypnagogia. However there are also many differences which set them apart. I have investigated numerous contactees who have experienced both. Some people believe that contact can be fully explained as a sleep-related phenomenon, however there are many physical aspects to contact which are not so easy to explain. Pre-Cognition There have been a number of occasions where Alyson has experienced what she believes to be pre-cognitive dreams. In 2001, 3 months before 9/11, she had a vision of a plane coming through the window of her 15th floor flat. Soon afterwards she had repeated visions of planes going into other high rise buildings around Glasgow. These visions came to her as vivid day dreams. After them she would question where they came from and why she was thinking so negatively. It was only in September that she realised what these visions may have symbolised. In the summer of 2013 she had a dream in which she found herself in car with some gun wielding agents. The car drove past a wolf at the side of the road. As they went past it, it looked her right in the eye. She realised it had human looking eyes. The agents sped away and took her to what she interpreted as a safe house. They locked all the doors and asked her to go upstairs. About a month later she started to date someone who had very similar eyes to those of the wolf in the dream. The relationship did not work out well. Alyson wonders if her dream was trying to warn her of this in advance. While these experiences are far from conclusive, it is very common for contactees to report such pre-cognitive dreams/visions. Shadow Beings Alyson used to work in the Hetherington Research Club at University Gardens. This was a private members club for post grads, mature students and staff. One day at around lunchtime she arrived at the club to find her friend Bryony sitting alone at a table next to the fireplace. Behind her was a staircase leading downward, and another staircase to the next floor to her right. Aerial map of University Gardens: As she entered the building her eyes had to adjust to the dark, as there was not much light coming in through the windows. As her eyes adjusted Alyson immediately became aware of what appeared to be a shadowy apparition wearing a hooded cloak standing behind Bryony on the staircase leading down. It was quite well defined and about six feet in height. As she looked at it, it was as if it was aware it had been spotted. It moved across to the corner which was filled with boxes, and seemed to crouch down, as if trying to avoid detection. This sent shivers down Alyson’s spine (and still does when she thinks back to the incident). Within seconds it had faded from view. Bryony could see the look on Alyson’s face, and asked her what was wrong. Alyson told her what she had just witnessed. Bryony informed her that she had felt the sense of someone standing behind her all morning, but when she had looked she could not see anything there. Several nights later, Alyson was working at the club with her friend Kerry. Some of the staff were quite spooked to work at the place after dark. Several people had thought they had seen a ghost, which they named Hector, after Hector Hetherington, the man who had bequeathed the building to the post graduates. At the end of their shift, Kerry went to use the toilet down the same stairs Alyson had seen the cloaked shadowy figure. She was in the toilet when Alyson suddenly heard her shout. Alyson asked her what was wrong. She came back up the stairs and asked “Was that you?” Apparently she had heard a male growling sound outside the door and heard the boxes being kicked. Both Alyson and Kerry searched the building before locking up but found no-one. By early 2014 Alyson had moved to a flat on South Woodside Road. One night Alyson was feeling sleepy so decided to sleep on the sofa in the living room. She reached around and turned out the side lamp behind her. Immediately she saw what appeared to be a shadowed humanoid form step out of the open doorway to the adjacent bathroom. As this happened her pet cat Gandalf jumped up and called out loudly. It seemed that he had reacted to the presence of this entity. Alyson immediately switched the light back on in shock. The room was once more bathed in light, and nothing could be seen. She was understandably quite disturbed by what had just happened so left the light on for the remainder of the night. On another occasion her other cat Merlin appeared to observe something in the hall of the flat. Alyson discovered him standing still and clearly fixated on something she could not see. After about 15 minutes she felt a little spooked by the cat’s behaviour so said out loud “If you are a friend or relative visiting you’re welcome. If you are just passing through do so quickly”. Immediately the cat seemed to snap out of what it was doing and walked away. Although these experiences may seem at first to be related to ghostly phenomenon, it should be noted that contactees have often reported seeing shadowy figures, commonly termed “Shadow People”, around their home or in their vicinity. There appears to be a connection, but exactly what this connection is has not yet been determined. Nordics on Platform Soon after the sighting of the shadow being in her flat, Alyson woke up in the night to find she was paralysed. She could feel her head and shoulders lifting off the pillow. There was a cone shaped beam of light above her which appeared to be coming from the centre of her forehead. It seemed that the ceiling no longer existed, the cone expanded upward much further than the height of the room, like she was staring through it. Aerial map of South Woodside Road: In the circle of light roughly 15 feet above her was a round flattened white platform. Peering over the side of this platform was a humanoid male being with black hair. He was wearing a skin-tight blue coloured suit. He looked down at her then said to someone else out of sight “We’ve got her!” A moment later several other similar beings also leaned over the edge of the platform to look down at her. One of them was again male, but was wearing black and had pale brown coloured hair. He reached out to her saying “You’ve got to promise me you’ll tell people about us.” Alyson responded saying “I promise. I’ll tell people.” She was aware that the beings did not mean to frighten her, but she was experiencing a mix of emotions, including fear due to the odd-ness of the situation. She then heard her pet cat Gandalf begin to call out loudly and pace back and jump around on the bed. He was quite clearly deeply agitated by what was taking place. The cat’s behaviour seemed to bring her back to normal waking reality. The cone of light and platform with beings on vanished from view. She sat up and comforted her cat. He had been so upset that he had urinated on the bed covers. Alyson said he had never done this before or since. In the weeks leading up to this experience Alyson had actually been practicing chakra meditation. She wonders if this somehow prepared her mind and enabled the experience to take place. At the time of the experience Alyson did not realise the similarity between the beings she had seen and “Nordic” beings regularly reported by contactees around the world. It was only later that she started looking into the contact subject in more depth and realised that it was likely these beings she had met with. This is certainly an unusual experience, and one on a more meta-physical than physical level. The beings could not have been physically there in the room as they were positioned much higher than the ceiling would allow for. Also they immediately vanished when she snapped out of the state of mind she was in. As she was paralysed at the time one could argue that this was merely another sleep paralysis experience and in no ways linked with ET contact. However this experience felt very different to her, she did not get a sense of evil or darkness from these beings. Also Alyson’s description of both their appearance and their clothing would fit in with other accounts of Nordics. However it should be noted that these beings usually speak telepathically, whereas the one which spoke with her was doing so vocally, moving his lips. World Contact Day UFO Sightings On 20th March 2015 there was a solar eclipse. Someone online decided to name the same date “World Contact Day” and suggested it would be the ideal day for those who were interested to attempt to get in touch with ET. The idea caught on and many people in different locations arranged sky watches and meditation sessions. A number of members from SPI decided to join in with this, and arranged a sky watch at Carron Valley Reservoir, The Campsies, North of Glasgow. This location happened to be only 10 miles from Bonnybridge, an infamous UFO hot spot. Alyson met with fellow SPI members Margaret, Lynsey, Gordon, Lawrence and Kirsty at an ideal sky watching spot alongside the B818 on the North side of the reservoir, with a view of the water and the sky to the South. The weather conditions were great, it was dry and still with very little cloud. The stars and a new moon were visible above them. Aerial map of Carron Valley Reservoir: View of the reservoir from the road along the Northern edge: Around 1am they spotted a stationary white light in the sky to the West. It was too far away to tell whether it was a helicopter or something else, but it was present for about half an hour before fading away. Between 3-4am Alyson decided to go and meditate on her own in her car in an attempt to open contact. While this was going on the others suddenly called out that they had seen a flash of light to the North East. Alyson continued her meditation and a visualisation of a humanoid being appeared. In her meditative state she spoke with this being, informing him that she had brought some others along with her and she didn’t want it to be a wasted journey for them. The communication ended and Alyson went back outside to meet with everyone else. Soon afterwards Alyson was facing to the North. She looked to her left along the road and in her mind’s eye saw the image of a Grey being standing there in the darkness. Again she telepathically asked for something to take place which everyone could witness. The Grey did not seem to respond to her in any way. Picture Alyson found which is similar to the Grey on the road: For a long while the sky watchers had noticed a brightly sparkling star with an orange hue to the South at an angle of about 50 degrees. At around 4.45 am without warning this “star” began to slowly move! Alyson noticed it first, and pointed it out to the others. Everyone confirmed that it was moving. The glowing light banked right around the reservoir, so was clearly within the atmosphere, although it was hard to judge exactly how high it was. It appeared to be completely silent. They looked at the object through binoculars and were surprised to find that it appeared to be a pale grey colour through them. The orange glow could only be seen when viewing it with the naked eye. After watching it transfixed for a number of minutes Alyson suddenly thought about getting the UFO on camera. She asked if anyone was filming or taking photos. Someone did attempt to photograph it, but on the camera it just came out like a glowing point of light. It was too distant and too dark to photograph it clearly. Eventually after about 10 minutes the object disappeared from view behind a hill to the North North East. Everyone present was convinced that the object was not a helicopter on patrol. It was certainly not a satellite as it turned as it moved. It could not have been a plane, and is very unlikely to have been a Chinese lantern as it was stationary in the sky for a long while before it began to move. Unfortunately it was not close enough to see clearly, but the origin of the light remains a mystery. Alyson wonders if it was a craft which had appeared because of her earlier meditative communications, although there was no confirmation of this. Metallic Egg-Shaped UFO Photograph At around 7.30pm on Thursday 20th August 2015 Alyson decided to go out for an evening walk around Glasgow. The weather was warm and still, perfect to be out and about. Due to the time of year it was still daylight. It was quite a busy evening with plenty of other pedestrians and vehicles around. By 8pm she was near to Glasgow University and walking along University Avenue. As she followed the path round to the left to head past Glasgow University Union she suddenly became aware that it had gotten really quiet. There seemed to momentarily be nobody else around. Aerial map of University Avenue: Alyson happened to look up into the sky and noticed a strange object to the East over the Theatre Studies building. It appeared to be egg-shaped and was metallic silver all over with no markings of any kind. Initially was at an angle of 45 degrees. It was hard to judge the height accurately but it appeared to be lower down than a plane would fly at. Alyson estimates it was about 60 feet across. Photograph of the location in the direction the UFO was seen: The object was moving on a straight and level course to the West, and travelling quite fast, at least 100 mph. It did not appear to be rotating at all as it moved. Alyson immediately reached for her Samsung J1 mobile phone in her pocket to take a photograph of the UFO. She had been listening to the radio on it so had to change the settings to get to camera mode, at the same time as keeping an eye on the object. This was quite difficult and the object almost went out of sight but luckily she managed to quickly snap a photograph before it did. In total the sighting lasted for about 20 seconds. Below is the photo which Alyson took. The object has been ringed in red: Zoomed view of the UFO: Zoomed enhanced view: Zoomed view with edge find: The metadata behind a photograph can often be used to determine whether an image is an original or whether it has been potentially manipulated. While I highly doubt that this image has been modified in any way, there are sections missing from the metadata which I would expect to see. It is probable that these have been lost during transfer of the image from one place to another, although it is also possible that they just do not appear in Alyson's make of phone. It is quite hard to tell exactly what the object may have been from the photograph. It is clear that it was highly reflective. Alyson cannot put out of the question that the object was not a silver-coloured inflatable of some kind drifting on an air current. However it was still at ground level, and it did seem to be moving too fast for this to have been the case. Also it did not appear to be rotating, you would expect a balloon of this shape to rotate as it drifted across the sky. After the sighting was over Alyson continued her walk back home. She did not mention it to the other members of SPI Scotland for over a week. Usually she would mention something like this immediately but she forgot about it afterwards, and only remembered when she was flicking through the photos on her phone. However she believes this was down to other things going on at the time in her life, not due to an intentional removal of memory. Conclusions As you can see, Alyson has experienced a wide variety of unusual phenomena. She certainly appears to have had an experience involving Nordic beings, and many of her other experiences are the sort of incidents which are regularly reported by contactees. It is unclear at present how many of these experiences are directly related to contact. However they are all fascinating. I would like to thank Alyson for coming forward with this information. If she keeps in touch then this report may well be updated in the future with other unusual events in her life. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2020

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 14/08/2014 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used In most UFO cases the objects are only seen once and then never reported again. However in some cases UFOs can seemingly return to the same location numerous times and be witnessed independently by different people. This fascinating case involves a UFO observed in 2010 which was later found to have been seen 15 years before by two police officers over the same area! Sighting Details Thomas works as an occupational therapist at a hospital on Dogpool Lane in Stirchley, Birmingham. One day in late October 2010 he was standing outside on an open courtyard having his lunch with a work colleague. It was about 1pm in the afternoon and a clear sunny day with only light cloud in the sky. There was nobody else out on the courtyard at the time. Suddenly a glowing light up in the sky to the East of the courtyard caught his eye. Looking up he was amazed to see a strange object hovering over the roof of one of the hospital buildings adjacent to the courtyard. It appeared to be only 15 feet above the roof of the building, so only about 60 feet off the ground. The object was quite large in size, almost as wide as the building it was over. It appeared to be a glowing orange coloured bar, approximately 40 feet in length and 10 feet in height, and set at an angle of about 280 degrees. Around this bar seemed to be a glowing field of energy, blue-white in colour with electricity flowing through it. Arial perspective view showing the position of the witness (A) and the estimated position of the UFO (B): Witness drawing showing the UFO hovering above the building and himself in the courtyard: The object was hovering completely motionless and was not making any sound. Thomas pointed out the object to his colleague exclaiming “What the frigging hell is that?” His colleague dismissed the object as a helicopter, even though it quite clearly was not. Thomas responded asking “Why the hell would we have a helicopter above the building?” His colleague still seemed dismissive of the UFO and headed back inside. Thomas continued to stare at the object for about 2 minutes. Without warning it then seemingly began to shape shift and shrink in size. This continued until it was nothing but a small white ball of light and soon afterwards vanished. It took about 1 minute to shrink down in size and disappear. Thomas was left standing there amazed at what he had just seen. He walked back into the office. Knowing that one of the girls in his office was interested in the subject he told her about the UFO first, saying “You won’t believe what I’ve just seen!” She seemed to accept what he told her. Later in the evening he told his family and friends, which got mixed reactions. One of his friends, Mark, is particularly interested in UFOs. Thomas decided to ring him up and tell him about the sighting. Later in the evening Mark excitedly rang him back up. He had searched various sites on the internet to try and find other matching sightings of the object. He told Thomas to go to his computer and load up the PRUFOS database. This is a website managed by ufologist Gary Heseltine. It contains details of hundreds of UFO sightings reported by police officers. Mark told Thomas to go to a particular page on the database. There in front of him was the details of another UFO sighting by two police officers from 1999. Like his own sighting, it had taken place on Dogpool Lane, Stirchley. And the description of the UFO was a complete match with what he had witnessed! It was clear that they had seen the same thing 15 years before over the same area! PRUFOS Sighting Report Below is the sighting report from the PRUFOS database (duplicated with permission from Gary Heseltine): 1850 hours. 19/01/95. Location – Birmingham, Warwickshire. Following a number of reports by the public of a UFO in the skies above the city, two uniformed officers were dispatched to Russell Road in the Moseley area to investigate. However as they approached the scene they observed the UFO on Dogpool Lane, Stirchley. There they saw a UFO hovering above some nearby trees. They described the object as being the size of a double decker bus. In the middle of the object there was a horizontal bar of orange light, whilst on the outside there appeared to be a blue field of energy. After a few seconds the object appeared to shrink in size and vanish from view. Further reports from members of the public followed the police sighting. Unconfirmed reports allege that several other police officers also observed the object from the vicinity of the West Midlands Police training school at Tally Ho. UFO CLASSIFICATION – CE1 (CLOSE ENCOUNTER 1ST KIND) On Duty sighting. 2 Officers. Source – John Hanson. The actual report can be read at the following address: http://www.prufospolicedatabase.co.uk/4.html Sighting Analysis This is both an unusual and very impressive sighting. It is clear that the object that Thomas witnessed was not a normal aircraft or helicopter. It remained motionless for a number of minutes so could not have been an aeroplane. If it had been seen at a distance one could have suggested that it was a helicopter reflecting the sunlight. However it was low down, just over the roof of the building and at close proximity to the witness. It was also making absolutely not noise. If it had been a helicopter the sound of the rotor blades would definitely have been heard at that distance. It was clearly not an inflatable object such as a blimp, and was too large to be an unusual radio controlled model. Could the object have been some kind of unusual atmospheric phenomenon? You could speculate this due to its strange appearance and the fact that it seemed to shrink down and vanish. However there is no known atmospheric conditions that would create such a sight. The energy field surrounding the bar appeared to be electrical in nature. Electrical phenomena such as ball lightning could possibly appear similar to this. However ball lightning only appears in stormy weather conditions, and would be relatively small in size. As mundane explanations do not seem to fit with what was seen we have to consider the possibility that the object was some kind of advanced craft, perhaps extra-terrestrial in origin. If so then it appears to have been surrounded in some kind of energy field, perhaps involved in its propulsion. There are other sightings on record where orange glowing bars of light have been reported, including some which I have directly investigated. There have also been many sightings where the object observed has been surrounded in a field of energy, although many others where no such field is seen. Perhaps the field is only visible under particular conditions or on particular types of UFO, though this would just be speculation. When the object began to shrink in size and finally vanish perhaps it was passing through into another dimension or cloaking in some way. The fact that the details of the UFO clearly match those from the case reported on the PRUFOS database is extremely compelling. I have no reason to doubt that Thomas saw what he says he did in October 2010. He provided excellent initial information, and was happy to answer my additional questions to an acceptable level of detail. Given how unusual the description of the UFO is, it seems like far too much of a coincidence that both sightings would occur over Dogpool Lane in Stirchley. If the object was an advanced ET craft, maybe it was returning to the same area for a specific reason. This is what Thomas personally believes. He speculates that there could be some kind of portal in the area which the UFO has passed through on multiple occasions, at least twice, perhaps more. While we have no evidence that this is the case, it is still a possibility worth considering. This is not the only UFO sighting Thomas has had, details of his other sightings will be uploaded soon in a separate linked report. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2014

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 25/07/2014 Last Updated: 29/07/2019 In mid 2014 BUFOG member David Gooding got in touch with me via E-Mail. He informed me of a fascinating UFO he had witnessed back in 1972 when he was only 14 years old. This sighting forever changed his perspective on the UFO subject. Sighting Details Back in April 1972 David used to have a morning paper round. It was a bright, cloudless, clear morning at around 7.00am with an estimated optimum visibility of around 15 miles. Due to the time of morning there was nobody else around. In order to save himself time on his round he took a short cut across the local rugby pitch which lay between Walstead Road and Cypress Road. The pitch still exists today but is now a football pitch. Aerial map of the pitch showing the approximate sighting location: Modern photograph of the pitch: David was around the mid-point of the pitch when he suddenly heard from above and behind him a loud noise akin to the sound of ripping paper. He was startled by this and looked up to determine the source. To his amazement, around 10 metres above his head was a stationary circular object, approximately 10 metres in diameter. It had a phosphorescent underside exhibiting multiple shades of electric blue which swirled around in a similar was to smoke caught in a laser beam. The object made absolutely no noise and was completely still. There were no other notable effects e.g. no sensation of ionisation. As his view was entirely from underneath, David had no idea of the side profile of the object. He says it was hard to estimate exactly how long this situation persisted, but he thinks he looked at it for around 8 seconds. Then without warning the object massively accelerated until it was at the observable horizon (20Km away) two seconds later. This would make its average speed around 10Km/s (22,000 mph). Shaken and gob smacked by the experience, David ran home and incoherently blurted out what had happened to his parents who, though consoling, were clearly very sceptical. Friends he later told were equally unconvinced. However two day later the local morning newspaper published an article about the UFO, which it turned out had been seen by several other witnesses. One in particular was a very experienced mariner who had witnessed a whole range of meteorological/astronomical events at sea but who had “never seen anything like this”. His observation had occurred at the same time as David’s, from a vantage point at Great Barr, approximately 1.5 miles from the location of David’s sighting. Aerial map showing the location of David’s sighting (A) and Great Barr (B): Sighting Analysis This is an incredible and well documented account of a disc-shaped UFO. Unfortunately due to how long ago the sighting took place we have not managed to locate the newspaper report. However I have no doubt that the witness is talking about a real event. Many aspects of the sighting point to the fact that this was a highly unconventional object. David is now a trained physicist, and says he has no idea what this object was or where it was from. However, he says with certainty that this object was under some kind of intelligent control, and that its aerodynamic performance was well beyond the technology today, let alone the technology of 1972. The fact that the UFO was seen by other witnesses at different locations to his means that it could not have been a product of David’s imagination and was clearly a physical object in the air. It was clearly not a normal aircraft or helicopter, and the stunning manoeuvre which it performed completely puts out of the question the idea that it was some kind of inflatable object such as a reflective balloon or blimp, or a remote controlled model of some kind. I certainly feel that this is a genuine sighting of an advanced craft of probable extra-terrestrial origin. There are some very interesting aspects to this sighting which are not commonly reported. The electric blue underside of the object which appeared to be swirling like smoke is indicative of some kind of field being generated around it, probably involved in its propulsion. There have been other cases where similar energy fields have been observed, although many cases where no such observation has been reported. It is also unusual that there was any sound coming from the object. In the majority of cases UFOs are either completely silent or emit a low humming noise. It is likely that this ripping sound was directly linked with the apparent energy around the object. The fact that one of the sightings reported in the paper took place only 1.5 miles away at the same time means it is very likely to be of the same object viewed from a different angle and distance. This adds a lot of weight to the case, despite the fact that at present we only have David’s testimony to go on. In recent years David has visited the library on numerous occassions to perform extensive searches of the newspapers around the time of the incident in a desperate attempt to track down the article. Unfortunately this has so far proved un-successful, but his dedication is further evidence of the reality of his encounter. Due to the various factors involved I am convinced that this was a genuine craft sighting. I would like to thank David for coming forward with the details of this stunning case.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 22/07/2014 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Introduction Emily first got in touch with me about her experiences in May 2013. Looking back through her life there are a number of very interesting incidents which have taken place. These incidents include a clear recollection of an abduction experience, signs of other abductions and a possible visitation. This report covers her experiences in depth and includes numerous drawings she has sent to me for inclusion. A Different Home When Emily was young she remembers that whenever she got upset she would start to cry and say to her parents that she wanted to go home. She would do this even if she was in her house at the time. She does not know what “home” she was referring to at the time, but assumes that it was somewhere else, possibly elsewhere in the universe. Certain contactees appear to have a deep connection with the beings that interact with them. These individuals sometimes referred to as “star children”, often feel that they have come from elsewhere and do not really belong on Earth. They are often drawn to the stars at night, and are usually concerned with the destruction of the environment and the barbarism of the human race.  They tend to possess heightened senses, and as a result often suffer from allergies and avoid artificial/cosmetic products. All of these things Emily says apply to her. Obviously none of them are definite signs of contact, but they are aspects which are regularly observed. A Visitation The first unusual experience which Emily can remember happening took place when she was 7 years old. Even at an early age she would often find it hard to sleep at night, something she still suffers from today. One night in the summer of 1997 she was lying awake in bed. Back then the family used to live in a house in Farnley, Huddersfield. Emily used to share a room with her twin sister. As she lay there, she felt like she was being watched in the dark. She decided to get in to bed next to her sleeping sister for comfort. She recalls getting into bed and closing her eyes for about 10 seconds. She feels sure that she did not drop off to sleep. She opened her eyes again to peer round the room. When she did so she immediately saw a shadowy figure leaning over her. She only saw the head and shoulders as it was only about 10 cm away from her face! Despite its closeness to her she could see no features, it was just a humanoid shaped shadow. However it was shorter than an adult human would have been. It looked about the same height as her, around 4 feet. Point Of View witness drawing of the figure: Witness drawing of the figure alongside the bed: Emily closed her eyes and screamed in fear. Her sister woke up and her mother came rushing into the bedroom. When she opened her eyes she found that the figure had vanished. She told her mum and sister what she had seen. Her mother dismissed it as a dream. Emily insisted she remained in the room, so she sat alongside the bed until she had dropped off to sleep. In the days following the incident Emily says that she tried not to think about what had happened or tell anyone else. She was scared that if she did the figure would return. Looking back at the incident, Emily feels that the figure did not want to cause her harm, she was just scared of it due to its proximity and sudden appearance. Many years later she spoke with her sister about it. Her sister remembers her screaming and crying but does not recall being told about the figure. It is of course possible that Emily had dropped off to sleep and that the figure she had seen was the result of a dream. As she only caught a glimpse of it before shutting her eyes, and as it was clearly no longer in the room when her mother entered, this cannot be put out of the question. However this could well have been a visitation by a Grey or other short ET. I have dealt with a number of cases where the ETs appear to mask themselves in shadow, so no physical features can be seen, just a silhouette. This may be done in an attempt to reduce the trauma of the experience, or there may be another reason why they would want to mask their true appearance. There is also the possibility that this was not an ET but a “shadow being”, a type of apparition which has often been reported by both contactees and non-contactees alike. Paralysed When Emily was 15 years old she went on holiday to Somerset with her family. They stayed at a Haven holiday camp in a chalet. Emily was again sharing a room with her sister. They had gone up to bed and she was lying there with her eyes closed trying to get to sleep. Suddenly she found that when she tried to move she was paralyzed. She thought that she was dying but when she tried to open her mouth and shout for help no sound came out. She then felt waves of electrical energy start to flow through her body from her toes to the top of her head. At the same time as this she began to hear a roaring sound in her head which steadily got louder and louder. She sensed that there was a presence of some kind in the room but was too frightened to look. This seemed to go on for about 3 minutes. Then suddenly everything stopped and went back to normal. She found she could move freely again. She went and informed her mother what had just taken place. Her mother put it down to a migraine, and so she returned to bed. Several years later she started to have similar experiences happen. Her parents arranged  for her to have a number of tests at the local hospital to see if they could work out what was causing it. She went in for an EEG and was required to go to sleep in a room. But Emily found that she was unable to do this, and decided not to go back again. Although she was not officially diagnosed, it is likely that the above described experiences were a result of sleep paralysis. Everything she describes – the inability to move or speak, the electrical sensations, strange sounds, sense of a presence and the way in which it started and stropped without warning are all commonly described side effects of this. Although some aspects of sleep paralysis are not yet fully understood, it is widely accepted that it is a real state which can occur. Some people are more susceptible to it than others. It is probable that this is what Emily was suffering from on these occasions. As certain aspects appear to be similar to aspects of abduction, some researchers believe that sleep paralysis fully explains ET contact experiences. However there are many distinct differences between the two. The Abduction In the winter of 2010 when Emily was 20 years old she was to experience the only abduction she can currently recollect. One night she was staying over at her boyfriend (now husband) Ben’s house in Bradford. They both went to sleep at around 11pm. In the middle of the night, Emily woke up seemingly for no reason. There was no clock in the room but she felt it was around 1am. She immediately became aware that everything was extremely still and silent. She lay there for a couple of minutes wondering what was going on. Everything seemed un-naturally quiet and she got a sense that time itself had stood still. Emily then looked over at Ben alongside her. As she turned it felt like everything was moving in slow motion. Ben appeared frozen, she could not even see him breathing. For some reason she felt that this was not the first time she had seen this, although she had no memories of it happening before this date. She sensed that neither her or him were going to come to harm. Because of this she was not frightened and did not try to wake him up. She was also aware that someone was going to come for her, and that she had known this was going to take place, but had somehow forgotten until this point. It was as if it had all been planned in advance, but that it had been blocked from her mind so that she could lead a normal life. She felt completely calm and relaxed, which was unusual given the circumstances. After this her memories are extremely fragmented. However the memories which she does recall certainly indicate that she was abducted and taken aboard a craft. She recalls being up in the air floating towards the wall and window of the room. She was floating about 5 cm off the floor in a standing position. She could move freely but did not try to struggle against what was happening. As she got near to the wall and window she put out her hand to stop herself from bumping into it. But she continued forward and passed through it. Her head and upper body passed through the glass of the window. Her lower body passed through the solid wall. As she did so she felt the sensation of doing so. It was an itchy feeling, and felt more viscous than moving through the air. After this she then has a period of missing time. Although she doesn't recall seeing a craft hovering in the sky close to her house, she does have an image of what it looked like. She remembers it being a silver disc-shaped craft with a dome in the middle of the upper surface. It had smooth curved edges and no visible markings or other lighting. She feels it was about 30 feet in diameter. Her next recollection is of standing in a large open room with white walls and no visible furnishings. She is unsure whether she was on board the disc-shaped craft at this point or somewhere else entirely. There was a Grey being standing about 15 feet in front of her. It was about 6 feet in height and was wearing a skin-tight suit either silver or white in colour. There was some kind of insignia on this suit on the upper chest area but she currently cannot recall the details of what this looked like. The being had a slender body with long thin arms and legs. The skin of its exposed head was pale grey in colour. Its head was tear drop shaped with a very pointed chin and large black oval-shaped eyes. It had very small nostrils and just a 2cm long slit for a mouth. Witness drawing showing the proximity of the Grey: Point of view witness drawing of the Grey: She remembers that the being then communicated telepathically with her. She could hear its voice directly in her head. It felt neutral to her, neither male or female. She believes that she had a long conversation with the Grey but does not currently recollect most of what was said. Her only clear recollection is that it said to her “It’s time for you to come back with us now.” At the time she knew exactly what it meant by this without the need for it to explain to her. She did not feel ready to leave behind her life on Earth and responded saying “I’m not ready yet, I want to experience more before I go.” The being did not seem angry at her response. Another memory which Emily feels sure took place during the same experience was of being shown a glowing golden holographic map.  This was displayed in the air and was covered in unusual symbols, points of light and lines. The points of light appeared to be star constellations. At the time she feels that she could read and understand what the strange symbols meant, but does not when she thinks back to it. She also remembers that one or more Greys were showing her something on this map but can’t remember what. Emily says the holographic maps in the control room in the movie Avatar were reminiscent of what she observed. If she decides to be regressed at some point we may be able to gain more information or even a layout of it. Witness drawing of the holographic map (map details shown are a representation and not accurate): Emily believes that after this she was returned to the house, although she has no recollection of this return journey. She just found herself back in bed under the covers. Initially the eerie silence was still there in the room but after a short while it seemed to dissipate. She lay in bed thinking about what had just taken place and wondering why there appeared to be large gaps in her recollection of events. She did not tell Ben what had happened till about a year later. As time went on she began to view the experience as nothing more than a bizarre dream, even though at the time she knew that it had felt much more vivid than this. However in recent years she has looked into ET contact on the net and realises the similarity between her experience and other cases. Further Contact Memories Another recurring memory that Emily has is of standing on a path close to where her mother lives in Comle, Huddersfield. In the memory it is daylight so cannot have been related to the above mentioned abduction experience. She recalls seeing the same craft that she remembers from her abduction – a silver coloured domed disc. It approaches about 100 feet above her and then suddenly stops in the sky. The domed part of the craft has a rectangular shaped window in it, and she sees a Grey on board the craft put its hand up against this window. She then reaches up towards the craft almost as a return gesture. She has no idea whether this craft was there to observe her, abduct her or had even just dropped her back off after being taken. Witness drawing of the UFO and Grey at the window: The fact that the craft she sees in this memory matches the one she remembers from the abduction means it is clearly linked with her experiences in some way. While it is entirely possible that she has just imagined this memory it seems more probable that this is a flashback to an experience which has happed at some point in her adult life prior to the abduction. Pyschic Abilities Many contactees often appear to express one or more psychic abilities, so many so that this could be termed a common aspect of the contact phenomenon. Emily claims to possess a high level of intuition. She says that often she will be able to detect an individual’s personality and emotions before speaking with them and can be aware of ulterior motives. Sometimes this feeling is so strong that she feels physically sick when in the presence of certain individuals and can’t go near them. She can often sense a connection with people and can feel sorry for them without knowing why. On a number of occasions Emily has had dreams which have seemed to later on come true. I have looked into many other cases where similar premonition dreams have been reported. Many of these premonitions seem to be warning Emily of danger to either herself or others around her. When she was 17 her boyfriend at the time started driving. She knew when things were going to go wrong. One night she had a dream that something bad was going to happen to him on the road. She dismissed it but later that same day her boyfriend pulled out onto a junction and almost crashed. About a year later she had a dream that her boyfriend’s mother had stomach cancer. She told him about it soon afterwards. A week later his mother went into hospital for some tests. Emily never found out whether it was cancer as around that time they broke up. Her boyfriend blamed her in a way for what had happened. Emily used to own a motorbike. On a number of occasions she would get a gut feeling that it was not safe to go out on the bike. A couple of times she ignored this feeling, but on both these occasions even when riding extra safely she still skidded and came off the bike. After this she used to put on extra padded clothing or where possible not go out at all if she sensed something was wrong. In 2012 she had a dream that Ben’s car was going to break down. In the morning she informed him and told him to get the car serviced. He ignored the warning, and later that day the car’s tyre burst, damaging the wheel. After this incident Ben tended to take Emily’s warnings more seriously! In summer 2013 Emily’s twin sister visited Scarborough for a few days. She said she would pop in on the way home but did not give a time of arrival. That day Emily had got up early so she decided to take a nap. While she was asleep she had a dream of looking at the clock in the front room. It said 6.13pm. She then heard a knock on her door and her twin sister arrived at the house. She remembered the dream when she woke up as it was extremely vivid.  She told her husband that her sister was going to arrive around quarter past 6. Sure enough, that evening her sister turned up at exactly 6.13pm! On another occasion later in the summer she was watching a film with her husband when she suddenly began feeling uneasy. She felt that something bad was going to take place. She heard distant shouting along the road of some teenagers. The bad feeling got stronger so she ran upstairs to take a look out of the front window. She watched as the teenagers opened the garden gate and started trying to light a fire on the doorstep. She shouted at them and they moved on elsewhere. It seemed that her senses picked up the imminent danger of the situation. Another Visitation In early August 2013 Emily woke up in the middle of the night to find she could not move. She looked over at the bedroom door which was open. Out on the landing she saw what appeared to be the silhouette of a Grey. It was standing completely still at the top of the stairs. It was completely black and no physical features could be seen. It was about 5 foot high. Its arms were very long and hung down at its sides past its hips. It was slender in frame and had skinny arms and legs. It’s head was pear shaped, similar to the Greys she had seen during her abduction. She panicked trying to move and get away but found she could not. The Grey just stood there, it did not begin to move towards her. After a short while she must have drifted off to sleep, and awoke several hours later. She did not feel unusual in any way, and there were no signs that she may have been taken on this occasion. Silver Disc Sighting On 7th August Emily and Ben where out driving on their way into town. It was about 1pm in the afternoon. Emily suddenly noticed a large object in the sky. It was disc-shaped and silver in colour, with a white light at either end. It appeared to be larger than a plane. She pointed it out to Ben saying “Look at that!” He replied “That’s weird!” A moment later they lost sight of the object behind a clump of trees. When they had passed the trees they again looked up into the sky but the object had vanished without trace! Emily believes that this was the first time she had seen a craft while being fully consciously aware. Ben was more sceptical, and suggested that it must have been some kind of plane, though he does admit that it looked very strange. Flashbacks On a night in December 2013 Emily experienced what she could only describe as multiple flashbacks while asleep. These felt very different to a normal dream. She saw about 30 quick visions one after another. The themes of these visions included the following: - Being awake during the night in the front room of her house and seeing a small craft-like object with red lights on hovering outside the window as if monitoring her. The vision ended with a sudden bright white light filling the window. - Waking up in the night to see white light pouring into her bedroom from outside. - Multiple visions of her being outside and witnessing a craft in the sky. The craft flew overhead of her and then she felt a tremendous pulling sensation from above. - Beings with human heads and features but with large black eyes. This vision made her feel sick and terrified. The beings were a mix of male and female and varied in age. After experiencing these visions Emily woke up feeling extremely disturbed, and could not get back to sleep for a long while. At the time she was heavily pregnant, so she wondered if that could have triggered what she saw. But she still could not shake the feeling that the visions were actual memories of things she had seen during contact experiences. Conclusion Due to Emily’s detailed recollection of an abduction experience, it seems clear that she is a contactee. Some of the flashbacks/dreams she has had indicate that she has been taken on more than one occasion. It is common for contactees to be abducted more than once, so this would not be at all surprising. The recollection of a shadowy being in her room as a child is interesting and could well be a visitation. Perhaps this was an intended abduction which was avoided, or maybe she was just being observed at this point. Because of the length of time between her experiences, it is unknown at present if she will continue to experience contact in her life. If she does experience any further incidents and keeps in touch with me then this report will be updated as necessary. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2014

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: George Gregg Release Date: 07/07/2014 Sighting Report Sedgley is a small town in the north of Dudley.  It is situated along the A459 between Wolverhampton and Dudley. Since 1974 it has been part of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough. Andrew is an author and a paranormal investigator. He is an Approved Investigator with ASSAP (Association of the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena). The report below is made up of E-mails that he sent to a colleague almost minutes after the sighting. The wording has been edited to remove irrelevant material: “At: 19/12/2013 23:12 Postcode: DY3 1HN I've just seen something really strange on the way back from the Beacon! The sky is clear here and it is freezing. I saw a grey wing shaped thing moving fast in a straight line across the sky. It had no lights, no sound and logically I shouldn't have been able to see it against the dark sky. I don't think it was close to the ground but of course very difficult to tell at night. It came from the Tipton direction. I have never seen anything like this. Only a short sighting but clear. I could not tell how high or big it was in the dark. My impression was light aircraft sized but faster moving. This is purely subjective of course. Absolutely no sound heard either. It was like a fast moving glider. Strangest airborne thing I have seen so far!! Maybe it was illuminated by moonlight. I was only aware of a fixed wing. It flew right over me by the way not in the distance at all. Cheers Andrew.” Map indicating the sighting location: Photograph of the sighting location taken by the witness: Clarifying this with the witness he observed an object moving from east to west but which was soundless, a single wing in shape, grey in colour and had no lights but moving quite fast. He was a little puzzled by how he could have seen it due to the fact that it could not be heard and was not self-illuminated. Sighting Analysis Having known Andrew since 1999 When he was a lecturer at Dudley College I found him to be a highly truthful individual and not given to flights of fancy. He is very knowledgeable about anomalous phenomena and is aware of the psychology of how the mind can play trick on people. He is very good with details and accurate observation. He is also reasonably familiar with aircraft types. Given the background of the observer it would be highly unlikely he would find a normal aircraft to be strange. The main possibility is that he saw some kind of stealth aircraft. A new design that does not make a noise. Most stealth craft such as the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit are invisible to radar but extremely noisy and tend to move quite fast across the sky. The shape of this stealth craft does not match that of the sighting. Given that neither I nor the witness is familiar with a military vehicle it would seem to me that the sighting should be recorded as an unknown. Copyright George Gregg 2014

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 04/06/2014 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Sighting Details It was between 9 and 10 pm on the evening of 7th May 2014. Richard was in his house in East Blackley, Manchester with his girlfriend Emma. They were watching TV in the living room. Suddenly something caught Richard’s eye through the window. He got the attention of Emma and they both stared outside. It was a warm clear evening and the sun was just setting, no moon or stars were yet visible in the sky. Travelling from Rochdale Road to Victoria Avenue in an Eastward direction he saw a fast moving white coloured light. It appeared to be within half a mile of his location, and only a couple of hundred feet high. It was also descending as it moved. It was extremely bright but did not have a trail behind it. Richard estimates it was at least 12 foot across but could have been larger. Aerial map highlighting Rochdale Road (A) and Victoria Avenue (B): Richard and Emma watched the light for about 25 seconds until it went out of sight in the direction of Charlestown, by which time it was quite low in the sky and looked like it was going to descend to the ground. Sighting Analysis White lights are often seen after dark and usually have a mundane explanation. They can often turn out to be distant aircraft, white coloured LED balloons, satellites or shooting stars. However this sighting does sound unusual. As the light was descending as it moved the most likely mundane explanation is that it was a meteorite. But it does sound like it was observed for too long to have been this, meteorites are usually only visible for a brief moment as they cross the sky. Also they usually have a burning trail behind them, yet Richard says this light did not. As the witness states, it appears to have been moving too rapidly to have been a plane or helicopter, and certainly too fast to have been an LED balloon. Richard says that he is well aware of what shooting stars and distant aircraft look like after dark and says that it was definitely something else. Could the object have descended to the ground somewhere in the Charlestown area? It certainly appeared that it was going to. So far no other reports of this light have been found online so we have no way of knowing if anyone else observed it. If any more information on the mystery light becomes available this report will be updated with the details. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2014

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 22/05/2014 Forwarded by UFO Info For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Sighting Details On the evening of 20th January 2014 George was out walking in a rural area close to Church Village, several miles South of Pontypridd. It was a clear but cold evening, and the sun had already set. George was walking alongside a rural area of land, with a patch of woodland about 700 m away. He suddenly noticed a glowing object rising towards the trees. At first he assumed it was a Chinese lantern, as it was glowing an orange-yellow colour. However it appeared to be moving too fast. He then saw it was a boomerang-shaped object which seemed to be completely glowing along its length, except for the end points. There were no markings visible on the object. It was hard to judge its size but it did not look small. It appeared to be completely silent, George felt that he was close enough to hear sound if it was making any. Photograph of sighting location. The UFO was seen over the further patch of trees visible: Witness drawing of the UFO: The UFO continued to ascend until it was over the trees, then began flying back and forth, East to West over several hundred metres, almost like it was looking for something. Each time it turned it appeared to stop for a brief moment. George noticed two other elderly people outside their house which overlooked the area. He called them over to also take a look at the object. After the UFO performed the same manoeuvre a few times, the object began to descend at 60 degrees and was lost from sight behind the trees. The whole sighting had lasted for between 2-3 minutes. Close up photograph of the area where the UFO descended to: Sighting Analysis George has tried his best to explain what he saw as something mundane but has found that he cannot. He does not believe the object was some kind of radio controlled aircraft with lighting. It was flying too close to the trees and the area it was over was extremely overgrown. Between the path and the area of trees there is a bog which would have been very difficult to cross, and it would have taken someone a lot of effort to get over to the location after dark. A radio controlled plane would have made an audible noise but this object seemed to be completely silent. Rather than have specific lighting, it appeared that the entire object was glowing. He was certain that the glow was coming from the object itself rather than reflection of lights on the ground, as there are no lights in the area over of woodland over which the object was situated. This would not really fit with a radio controlled model. For this same reason the object could not have been a bird. Also the shape was too rigid and did not change, and the manoeuvres it was performing were too structured and controlled. The object could not have been an unusual-shaped Chinese lantern or other lit inflatable. While this could conceivably be launched and ascend upward into the air, it is very unlikely it would then proceed to drift back and forth at a fast speed over the same area before descending back down. A number of days after the incident George returned to the area to get the daylight photos seen elsewhere in this report. He also spoke to the two other witnesses. They confirmed that the object had been boomerang-shaped and was glowing an orange-yellow colour. One of them also remembered seeing a blue glow coming from within the object, although George and the 3rd witness do not recall seeing this. What was seen that night by the three witnesses remains an intriguing mystery, and one which cannot be easily explained. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2014

Birmingham UFO Group Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 25/09/2015 Introduction I met Andrew at UFO Truth Magazine Conference 2015. He informed me of a stunning repeat UFO sighting he had back in 1979 in his home town of St Helens. After liaising with him further it became apparent he had also had previous UFO encounters. This report covers his key sightings. Blue/White Orb Sighting In 1979 Andrew was 15 and in the final years of secondary school. Around this time he informs me that both he and his friends had numerous UFO sightings of anomalous glowing orbs of light. One evening in the summer months a particularly impressive sighting of one of these occurred. It was around 7pm and a very pleasant and still evening. Andrew was at the playing field of his school, St Cuthberts, playing football with two friends. To the __ it was possible to see the tops of the towers at Bold Power Station. He happened to look in that direction and noticed a small orb of light hovering over one of the towers. Aerial map of St Cuthberts playing field: Aerial map showing St Cuthberts (A) and the location where Bold Power Station used to be (B): The orb appeared to be flashing blue then white in quick succession, and at first was completely stationary. It hovered for several minutes without moving. Andrew pointed out the UFO to his friends. Suddenly without warning the orb descended in altitude a short distance then immediately shot straight upwards extremely fast. It was only visible for a moment before it was lost from sight in the sky! Photograph of Bold Power Station: Andrew says that many of the sightings of glowing orbs took place around Bold Power Station. He also says that his father-in-law used to work at the power station, and that he once told him that whenever these orbs of light were reported by the public they would experience a loss of power. It appeared that these objects may have somehow been draining energy from the station. Lit Disc UFO Sightings On a Tuesday evening in September 1979 Andrew was out playing football with his team at Derby Hill Youth Club on Derbyshire Hill Road (He knows it must have been a Tuesday as this is the day they would play each week). It was a clear and dry evening with very little cloud cover. Aerial map of Derby Hill Youth Club football pitch: Andrew was standing by the edge of the pitch alongside two other older players. The older boys remarked to each other that there was an object up in the sky. Overhearing them Andrew looked in the same direction. At an angle of about 60 degrees in the sky was what appeared initially to be an extremely bright star. As they watched, the witnesses realised that the “star” was moving slowly on a straight path. One of the older boys remarked that he had seen something similar before. He had rang someone up and they had informed him that it was likely to be a satellite. The trajectory took the object across their line of sight from right to left. As it got nearer to them it became clear that the object was in the atmosphere rather than out in orbit. Andrew could make out more detail. It appeared to be an elongated disc shape, with fin-like protrusions facing upward on the rear end. He believes the colour of the object was dark grey. On the base of the object was a collection of multi-coloured lights in no discernible pattern. It was about 40 feet in length and quite obviously a solid structured object. Drawing Andrew found online which is representative of what he saw: The UFO was travelling at a height of about 500 feet. It was travelling quite slowly, perhaps between 50-70 mph. The witnesses commented on it as it flew past. By the time they had realised it was something unusual it was already leaving the area, so there was no point in calling anyone over. Also nobody had a camera with them at the time. Once it had left the area David decided to get changed and then began walking home. At the nearby shop he met a couple of girls. One of them asked him to meet her by the shop at 9pm. He agreed to her request then returned home. Later on headed back out to meet with her as promised. By now the sun had set but it was still dry and still. He met up with the girl and they decided to go for a walk on a low hill alongside Fleet Lane known as The Duckeries. She wanted to get Andrew somewhere private for a kiss. Aerial map of The Duckeries: Photograph of The Duckeries: This area was in the direction that the UFO which he had witnessed earlier had travelled away in. They reached the top then began to look around. Looking back in the direction he had approached the location Andrew suddenly became aware of a dark object in the sky. It had a cluster of multi-coloured lights on it. Due to the time of evening it was not possible to see the exact shape of the object. The UFO was making an odd rocking movement in the sky, tipping back and forth. Andrew describes it as being similar to a “spinning coin losing momentum”. He was convinced that this was the same object he had seen earlier in the evening. For a couple of minutes it performed this manoeuvre. Then it slowly began to come to a halt. Once it had stopped the spinning/rocking it then began to move in the direction of the witnesses. It approached on a steady pace at around 50 mph. Once it was closer Andrew could hear a low humming sound coming from the object, similar to an electrical generator. It slowly flew past the witnesses and onward across the sky until it was lost from view. The girl he was with at the time wasn’t particularly interested by the UFO but it left a lasting impression on Andrew. The following day at school he told his friends about what he had seen. At this point he found out that others in his class had also observed the UFO around 9pm, and some had even seen detail such as a cockpit. Conclusions The sightings which Andrew had back in 1979 are certainly intriguing. While the flashing orb of light did not look particularly impressive the manoeuvres it performed mean it cannot have been a balloon catching the sunlight or radio controlled model. It also suggests that the object was under intelligent control. The UFO seen twice on the evening in September was also very interesting. It was clearly not a helicopter or normal aircraft, yet did seem to be under control. Andrew is convinced that both the sightings were of the same object. Its movements were too unusual to have been a large lit inflatable, although it was certainly a solid structured object. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2015

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 13/08/2015 Last Updated: 20/06/2017 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used for some witnesses Unidentified Figure Adam used to live in a housing estate near to Bure Park Nature Reserve, North West Bicester. On one night around August 2011 in the early hours of the morning he was walking back from a friend’s house in the early hours of the morning. It was a clear and warm night and there was nobody else around at the time. He entered a public walkway which lies between Lucerne Avenue and Germander Way. The path is lined on either side by tall hedges. As he began to walk along it, he suddenly heard a movement in the bushes to the left of the path. Immediately he had an overwhelming fear that there was something there watching him. He couldn’t see it clearly but he could tell that it was quite large in size, tall like a human. Aerial map showing the pathway and the position where the figure had been: Photograph of where the incident took place: Adam feels that when he had walked round the corner he had caught whatever it was by surprise, and it had continued moving briefly before stopping. He stared into the bushes but couldn’t see anything. Behind the bushes is the wall of a house so there is nowhere it could have escaped to. He feels quite certain that it had not been a person hiding in the bushes, as there would have been no reason for someone to be standing inside the bushes in the middle of the night on their own. Shadow Being Visitation In the summer of 2012 Adam went with friends down to Wiltshire for the weekend to sky watch, meditate and see if they could find any crop formations. He got back to his home in Bure Park, Bicester, around 9.30pm. After relaxing for several hours and catching up with his family he decided to go out into the back garden and meditate a while on his own. It was a very clear night with the stars fully visible. He sat on the patio decking cross legged on a cushion and began to meditate. After only a few minutes he began to sense the presence of a being. It began with a rush of energy around him. Something told him to look over at a bush in the corner of the back garden. He opened his eyes and looked at the bush. In the shadow of the bush he could make out the silhouette of a humanoid being which appeared to be semi-translucent. It was standing still but he could easily make out the torso, arms, legs and head. It appeared to be about the same height as himself. He also sensed a connection with this being in some way, it seemed familiar to him. The being then began to communicate with him telepathically. This communication was a mix of philosophical ideas and actual spoken words. It told him about experiences which had happened while down in Wiltshire. It informed him that they had witnessed a craft, but that this experience had been veiled from them. It conveyed to Adam that its species did not perceive good or evil, that their consciousness had transcended past this. It informed him that they were an ancient inter-dimensional species who had only recently started interacting with our planet. Thinking back to the experience, Adam cannot recollect everything that was said. After speaking for about half an hour with this entity, Adam felt that the communication was drawing to a close. He came out of the trance-like state he was in and the being faded back into the shadows and was lost from sight. He excitedly sent a text message to David and Howard telling them about what he had just experienced. After relaxing with a cigarette and cup of tea he decided to head up to sleep. As Adam was under a meditative state during this experience it is of course quite subjective. I asked him if he felt that the experience could have been imaginary, and brought on by the fact that he had just returned from Wiltshire and so was thinking deeply on the subject of ET contact. Adam informed me that “The mediation was merely the right facility to trigger the experience. I was in a meditative state just to get awareness; I do not believe it was the actual cause of the experience.” Initiation On 29th January 2011 they decided they would spend the day meditating to a deep level around Adam’s house. Before they began they were sitting in the garage having a cup of tea. All of a sudden a ten pence piece appeared to manifest itself between them in mid-air and fall to the floor! They did not actually see it physically appear but saw it drop to the floor. It had seemingly materialised about 3 feet off the ground and fallen straight downwards. As both of them were looking in roughly the right direction, they each knew that it wasn’t thrown by the other as a joke. Upon realising what had just happened David exclaimed “What the fuck?” Adam was amazed and picked up the coin off the floor and asked “Whoa, did that just materialise?” David responded saying “Yeah...yeah it did!” They were both fascinated, as it was the first time either of them had witnessed the physical manifestation of an object. They took this as a sign that something important was going to happen with the planned meditation, so decided to begin. Adam and David headed outside and sat in some deck chairs under the warm sun. Adam says that he must have been meditating for no more than 10 minutes when his body suddenly jolted. He opened his eyes, but instead of being back in the garden found himself in another location. He was standing on an open grass-covered field. There were no trees or bushes in sight, just grass stretching into the distance. Above him was blue sky and bright sunlight. To his right, about 4 feet away from him stood David. They were both wearing the same clothes they had on that day. In front of them were two massive landed craft. They had a ship-like shape to them, like galleons only wider. They were a dark metallic colour all over, with no lighting visible. They were covered in lines splitting their hulls into sections. The craft were taller than they were wide. Adam estimates they were about 60 feet high by 50 feet across. Each craft had a dark arch-shaped doorway in the centre and a ramp leading down to the ground. As he watched two groups of humanoids stepped out and began to walk down the walkways. The beings on the left looked exactly like himself. The beings coming out of the other craft looked exactly like David. They were all wearing the same clothing they currently had on, like exact replicas of themselves. Witness drawing of the two landed craft: Four of the beings that looked like Adam approached him in a diamond formation. The one at the front spoke with him audibly rather than telepathically. Strangely his voice sounded like a mix of his own and David’s voice. He told him they were going to put him through an “initiation”. Adam agreed to this. Everything immediately seemed to go black. Then a new vision manifested itself. Adam found himself lying on a hospital bed in a small clinical room. Despite the fact there were no visible light sources or windows, Adam could see his surroundings clearly. The walls were dark grey coloured. There were no other furnishings in the room. To the left of him was a man standing by his bedside. He was holding a clipboard and appeared to be waiting for him to sign something. Adam was a little concerned by what was going to happen next, so decided to come out of the meditation by opening his eyes. He found himself back in the garden. He could see David to the right of him in his deckchair with his eyes closed. To all intents and purposes Adam felt he was now out of meditation. Yet when he looked round to his left he was surprised to see the man still standing there next to him with the clipboard! Adam realised that there was no easy way out of this so with his heart pounding in his chest he closed his eyes once more. He immediately found himself back in the hospital bed. He thought to himself that the only way to continue past this point would be to sign the clipboard, so he decided to do so. At that moment the surroundings disappeared and he began falling downwards into darkness. After falling for a while Adam found himself in another room with metallic walls and two large pillars. He found that he was strapped to a vertical frame-like structure of some kind and could not move. There were three Greys in the room. One of them was about the same height as him. He immediately recognised this being as “Elvis”, the Grey he had met with in numerous dreams many years previously. The other two Greys were very short in comparison, only about 3 feet high. They were unclothed and slender. Their heads were large, with over-sized black eyes, small noses and slits for mouths. They appeared to very busy, and were handing various things to one another and moving about swiftly. They did not acknowledge his presence. The tall Grey spoke to him telepathically, saying they were going to perform an experiment on him to relinquish some of his ego, and that he would experience death as a metaphor in numerous ways. The initiation then began. It was a series of scenes in which horrifying things would happen to him. These all happened again and again in quick succession. Some involved him being physically killed by Greys holding various weapons and instruments. Others involved him being “killed” spiritually or emotionally. David had previously told him that if he was ever experiencing something bad while under a meditative state he should think of the sunlight. Adam could feel the sun on him and this comforted him while this ordeal was taking place. Eventually it was over and Adam came back out of the meditative state. He was relieved to be back in the garden and soon found that he was physically unharmed. He also found that David was already awake and had come out of meditation a little sooner. At first Adam sat there quietly contemplating what had just happened. But after a short while he began to speak to David. He assumed that he too had gone through the same experience, or at least part of it. He asked him “Mate did you see the ships?” David was going through his pockets at the time and as Adam asked him this he felt something there. He pulled out two small origami boats. Neither he nor Adam had any idea where these had come from. They appeared to be made out of high quality paper which was a mix of gold, yellow and pink colours. Adam exclaimed “No fucking way!” David responded saying “How did they get there?” Like the ten pence piece earlier on the origin of these origami boats was a complete mystery. Witness drawing of one of the origami boats: When I asked David about this odd experience he assured me that he had not make the boats previously and had no idea where they had come from. Even though he was present in Adam’s vision he had not experienced anything, for him it had been a normal meditation session. So he only found out about the craft which Adam had seen immediately before pulling the origami models out of his pocket. Both he and Adam believe that they were another sign that something very important had taken place that day. The details of what Adam experienced sound very traumatic, but Adam says that the “initiation” procedure he was put through had many positive effects. It removed a lot of fear he had surrounding contact and exploring the more spiritual aspects of his life. As a result he began to try new meditative techniques and experience things on a deeper level. HOWARD'S EXPERIENCES "Howard" is a long term friend of the members of Cosmosiis. In addition to the numerous experiences he has had alongside David, Adam and others, he has also had other contact experiences going right back to a young age. Sitting Under The Bed Howard’s unusual experiences began when he was around 3 years old and living with his family at Langford Village estate in Bicester. He has a very specific recollection of something which does not make logical sense. He recalls crawling under his bed and looking at the big yellow boxes full of Duplo which were stored there. However he remembers actually sitting up. This would have been a physical impossibility, as the bed was far too low for him to have been able to do this. Howard believes that this was a multi-dimensional experience of some kind. Childhood Visitations When Howard was young he recalls a number of occasions where he would wake up in the night and there would be someone else in the room. Usually he would find this extremely frightening and would hide under his bed covers. He believes that his memories of these experiences are largely blocked out. He just recalls that when they took place he would be absolutely terrified, too scared to move or call out to his parents. He does not recall ever seeing an actual figure standing there. He remembers a particular incident when he was 8-9 years old where he woke in the night to feel the presence of something in the room. He was too scared to look at it so closed his eyes. When he did he got the image of a silhouette of a tree in his mind. He heard a low frequency sound which began to fluctuate in pulsing vibrations that went through his entire body. As it did the image of the tree would change colour and his body temperature would change. He felt that he could have moved but he was too frightened at that moment. After about 30 seconds he felt the unusual energy of the situation lift and things went back to normal. He soon dropped back off to sleep. These night time experiences took place roughly every few months right up until the age of 16. After this age he does not recall them taking place. Glowing UFO Sighting By the time Howard was 17 years old he was well aware of the reality of UFOs, but just wanted to see one with his own eyes. One night in the summer of 2007 he and Phil went to an outdoor party happening at a field on the outskirts of Bicester.  It happened to be the field alongside where years later David and Ricky would experience the UFO landing and line of blue-coloured beings discussed earlier in this report. At the part they met up with Adam and others. After the party Howard, Phil, Adam and some other partygoers were walking back home through Bicester in the early hours of the morning. It was a clear and warm night and the stars were fully visible. They were on Longfields in South East Bicester when Phil suddenly stopped and pointed to a white light crossing the sky at an angle of 45 degrees. It appeared to be at least 1000 feet up. Everyone else stopped moving and started watching the light. Howard immediately felt that this was something unusual. Aerial map and photograph of Longfields: After about 20 seconds it suddenly started flaring up extremely brightly, almost like burning magnesium. Then this flaring light died down and it looked like a plane. This continued to cross the sky until it was lost from sight. Everyone was very shocked at what they had just observed. They all agreed that it had been something highly unusual. Howard feels that it was most likely an ET craft, and that the plane which everyone saw was a screen memory. While this cannot be put out of the question, sometimes distant aircraft can appear like glowing white lights when their landing lights are on and they are travelling in a particular direction. They can also appear to flare up brightly all of a sudden in the same way that Howard reports. I have actually observed this myself while driving after dark. However when I put this possibility to Howard he stated that the strange “fizzing” that was observed could not have been caused by plane lights. Translucent Being Howard claims to have had many contact experiences throughout his life. One incident which has stuck with him occurred about 6-10 months after the glowing UFO sighting. Howard is friends with Ricky’s younger brother. He was around their house in central Bicester. They decided to meditate a while in the living room. Howard lay down on one of the sofas, while Ricky’s brother sat on the other cross-legged. They put on an album by progressive metal band Tool and then began to meditate. After a while Howard suddenly felt his perception had changed. The living room had an archway leading to it, which was a couple of feet away from the sofa Howard was on. When he opened his eyes he saw through this arch a tall translucent humanoid being, about 6-7 feet in height. It looked like it was made out of shimmering water. It was slender with a large head. The being walked through the arch and straight up to Howard. He was absolutely terrified. It bent down towards him, clenched its fingers into a fist and swung its arm like it was going to  punch him. A moment before it reached his face, its hand suddenly turned into a mirror. In the mirror Howard could see how frightened he was. It then pulled its arm away from him, turned around and walked back out of the room. It was as if the being wanted Howard to see how scared he was. Howard did not stop meditating immediately. He grounded himself before coming out of it and telling Ricky’s brother what he had experienced. As Howard was meditating at the time you have to question whether this incident was just down to a vision his mind constructed while in that state, although Howard feels that it was a real incident. I have investigated other contact cases beings of a very similar appearance have been reported. If we assume that it was a real being interacting with Howard at this time then what were its motives for what it did? Why did it frighten him by pretending to punch him? Why then show him this fear by changing its hand into a mirror? Whatever the explanation, this is certainly a bizarre incident. Screen Memories? In 2010 When Howard was 18 he had another experience which he believes was a possible masked visitation and abduction. For the period of about a month he had been experiencing lots of dreams with small children in. These children would speak with him and appeared to be very wise. They would discuss advanced concepts with him. Howard intuitively felt that these children were representing higher evolved beings. One night he woke up and found a boy sitting on the bottom of his bed. The boy was wearing normal looking clothing. He sensed that this boy was actually an ET. He grabbed a hold of him, expecting his hands to pass right through him. But they did not and he was very surprised to find he was real and solid. He and the boy left his house and went walking outside. As they walked the boy strangely appeared to be growing at a greatly increased rate. The clothing the being was wearing seemed to be expanding as necessary to match his size. They arrived at a pub, by which time the boy had grown into a young man who appeared to be about the same age as him. They entered the pub and sat down together. There were other people in the pub, which Howard sensed were other ET beings. He and the being began to talk for a long period of time. Howard started asking him some questions. The being replied saying “I’m not going to answer your questions now because you will get distracted, you won’t remember the answers anyway. The only reason we are interacting now is so in the future when we meet again you can remember this experience and feel more secure knowing that you have already met us.” At that point Howard knew the experience was over. Sure enough the being then disappeared, leaving him sitting on his own in the pub. He wondered what to do next and whether he needed to walk back to his home or not. He tried thinking about being back in his bedroom. Immediately he felt a rushing sensation and then found himself back in bed. Howard fully believes that his incident was not how it appeared, and that rather than being in a pub he had actually been aboard a craft interacting with beings. This may well be what happened. The ETs often use a screen memory to mask their own appearance and also the appearance of the craft, so this cannot be ruled out as an explanation. UFO Dream Around 2010 Howard recalls having a very strange dream. He found himself falling back down to Earth. He ended up standing in a stone circle surrounded by people. He did not recognise it as anywhere he had been to before. There were several large glowing white UFOs flying around the sky above him. Howard was pointing them out to the other people present trying to explain to them what they were. The following day Howard went around Kat’s house. Soon afterwards Ricky also came around. About half an hour went by. Kat had gone out and there was just him and Ricky there. Ricky suddenly blurted out “I was told to come here and speak to you last night!” Confused, Howard simply asked “What?” “Last night I had contact. I was in my room, a portal opened, I went through the portal and I was on a craft. I was on the craft with you, Dave and Lee. After, you left the craft. They told me to come here and speak to you today to tell you, to remind you that what happened last night was real.” This was confirmation for Howard that the dream he has had was more than just a dream, and was on some level a real experience, even though the situation was not familiar to him. Shimmering Grey For a period of about 6 months in 2011 Howard experienced the same particular phenomenon on numerous occasions. He would be lying down in bed with the light off when something which looked like spiralling mist would appear in the air above his head. This was sometimes a blue-ish colour, which would dimly glow, and at other times would appear darker. It became so familiar to him that he would sometimes be scared to look as he felt it would be there. Sometimes he would reach up and put his hand into the mist. When he did this he would feel a sensation similar to static electricity. There would sometimes be glowing sparkles of light within the mist. On one occasion his friend Vicky was there lying next to him on the bed. The mist began to form like usual. Howard pointed it out to her saying “Can you see that?” She confirmed that she could. The mist had spread and she could see the sparkles of light in it which she referred to as stars. She wasn’t frightened by it, she was more intrigued. Howard informed her of the fact that he had been seeing it regularly. On two occasions he saw grey mist floating within the room about a foot away from the bed. This mist changed into the outline of a Grey, about four feet in height. For some reason on these occasions he wasn’t frightened by this at all, it felt familiar to him. He started to communicate with this being telepathically.  He found it hard to deal with the being in that particular form so he asked it if they could go into a dream state to continue talking. Immediately he found himself in a dream. He and Adam were sat in a field and were speaking with the being, which now appeared to him as a boy. He remembers talking with the boy for a long while about many different things. After the conversation came to an end the dream ended and he woke back up to find it was morning time. When Howard spoke with Adam about the experience Adam could not recall being anywhere with Howard or meeting the boy. However Howard feels certain that the incident was real and that he had been visited by an ET. Shadow Beings On another occasion Howard was lying in bed after dark when numerous shadowy entities entered the room. Understandably he was quite frightened by their appearance. He had recently watched a TV programme with someone discussing contact. They had said that if they ever found themselves in a dark place they would imagine themselves inside a golden ball of light. In that moment Howard remembered this. Immediately he sensed a ball of extremely bright light pulsating outwards from within him. Every time it did this he could see the shadow beings being pushed away. Eventually everything was cleared except for a sound similar to radio static in his room. Howard says he has heard this noise numerous times before. He tried to resonate with this sound and at that point heard a male voice speaking to him telepathically. It sounded like the comedian and radio presenter Steven Merchant, who Howard is a fan of. Howard believes that it was a being using that voice so he would be more comfortable with it. It informed him that it was a being from the Orion nebula. It asked him how he how he was coping with the reality of contact in his life. After speaking with him a while the static noise died down and the communication ended. The Woman In Black In late May 2014, several weeks before I interviewed him, Howard says that he had another visitation experience. He awoke in the night to feel the presence of a being standing behind his head. He was not frightened, but nor did he have the need to look round at the figure. But he then felt the being put its hands around the back of his head without actually physically touching. At this moment it projected strong sensations of love into his mind. He could feel energy flowing into him from this being like waves. He looked round to his left across the bedroom. His view seemed quite hazy, like he was not fully aware of his surroundings. Across the room saw what appeared to be a black lady with tied back hair. She was wearing a black coloured jumpsuit and was in a sitting down position. Under her was a small cabinet, but it was like she was hovering over this, almost like she was pretending to sit down on it. At this moment the experience ended and Howard found himself awake and alone in the room. Some of Howard’ experiences may be easy to dismiss as hallucinations brought on by sleep paralysis. In this state it is possible to see shadowy moving forms in the room or even clearly defined entities, hear strange sounds, or sense a presence in the room. However it should be noted that Howard has experienced both sleep paralysis and out-of-body experiences on numerous occasions. He informs me that these are distinctly different to his contact experiences and can easily tell the difference. PHIL'S EXPERIENCES Phil is the ex-bass guitarist for Cosmosiis. In addition to various experiences which have occurred alongside David, Phil has had a number of other very interesting experiences. Visual Memory When he was very young Phil had very strange memory of an experience which appeared to involve a Reptilian being. It felt to him like he was remembering something which had already happened. Below is his written testimony on what took place: “I was in an existence that appeared to have similar physics to that of macroscopic phenomena, such as the orbit of planets. I could see another humanoid to my immediate right; I’m unaware of this beings identity. I’m outside at night and I notice more humanoids scattered around the general area. Collectively, we all perceive an event and the group become excited. The physics of this existence become unfamiliar; this is an unknown experience for everyone involved. I look back at the human stood to my right; beyond this being in the distance I noticed a distortion. It looked like fractals which seemed to grow into a sphere; they were quickly forming all around us. The sphere that was growing in the distance to my right produced a bipod reptile. This being was aware of its surroundings very quickly and proceeded toward me at an accelerated rate. I’ve been stood in the same spot for this whole experience and I thought I’d attempt to get away. Before I can act upon this, I’m being attacked by the humanoid reptile. It grabbed my leg and I fell to the ground. Once I hit the floor, the whole scene around me began to distort further. The scene that was once moving becomes still, like a photograph with a slow shutter speed and long exposure time. The silhouette of the reptile attached to my leg was all that remained of that visual and the experience. As this silhouette begins to fade away and my perspective had changed, I was not longer involved with that reality. Everything was tinted red and all I could see was my arms in front of my chest. Then my entire body juddered at what seemed to be the pace of a heartbeat, 3 judders to be exact. At this point I’ve become completely unaware and remember experiencing nothing else. Not until my hippocampus becomes partially developed at the age of 2 years old, my perception had blacked out. This experience affected me deeply and as soon as I could string together a sentence, I was still concerned enough to tell my Mum about it; what seemed to be 2 - 3 years later. No child gets chased by a crocodile without the parents knowing about it. I was a level headed child, well behaved for the most part. I was interested in the world and this was was enough to keep me occupied for the meantime. When telling my Mum about this experience, I was unaware of what ET’s are or might have been. Then first time I properly thought about ET’s with any mental clarity as at 8 years old when reading a X-files book for reading homework.” Prompted by my investigation of the case, Phil decided to get confirmation off his mother by asking her if she recalled him talking about being chased by a crocodile. As you can see from her Facebook response she does remember this conversation: After speaking with Phil about his testimony of this memory I was able to find out the following additional information. Even though this experience occured at an early age, in the vision Phil saw himself as an adult. He was wearing a dark long sleeved top of some kind but did not really pay much attention; he was more focused on his surroundings. The location he was in appeared to be an open plain, possibly grass covered. In the distance were hills and trees, so it did appear to be on Earth rather than another planet. It was night-time and the sky was dark, though he cannot recall seeing stars. There were roughly six other people in his vicinity. They appeared to all intents to be human, and were wearing normal clothing. The one near to him was male and was standing about two feet to his right facing side on to him. He had brown short hair, and olive coloured skin. The others in the area were normal looking white males and females. Everyone was looking in the same direction, staring into the distance towards the hills. Nobody spoke or appeared to interact with each other. Phil finds it hard to describe the event which then took place. It felt like the reality of the environment had changed and become more lucid. He became fascinated by this change, and looking around it was clear that the other people there were as well. The spheres which suddenly started to appear around him and the others were golden in colour. They seemed to grow out of thin air hovering just off the ground. The one nearest to him off to his right was about 40 feet away. Over 30 seconds it grew to about 4 feet in diameter. The reptile-like creature which emerged was quite tall and looked strong and well built. It was covered in green-grey coloured scales. Its face had a slightly extended jaw. There was a spine down the centre of the forehead separating its head into two distinct halves. It had talons on its hands and had a tail, but was standing up on two legs. The beings which Phil has described here is almost certainly a Reptilian, one of the more commonly reported ET species. When everything faded away and all Phil could see was glowing red all around him he felt that he was no longer lying down but was standing up normally again. This suggests that wherever he was, it was at a different place to where he had been previously. Grey Visitation Phil currently lives in Bicester in shared accommodation. On a night in March 2014 he went to bed around midnight. It took him a while to get to sleep. At an unknown time during the night he woke up. He thinks it must have been between 2-3am but did not check a clock so cannot confirm this. Opening his eyes he immediately saw a Grey standing alongside his bed. The being was only a couple of feet away from him so he could see it very clear despite the semi-darkness of the room. It was about 5 feet in height and was unclothed. It had pale grey coloured skin, which looked smooth with not much bone structure showing through. It was slender with an over-sized pear-shaped head. It had large black slanted almond-shaped eyes, a small nose and small slit for a mouth. Strangely in the centre of the being’s forehead was what appeared to be a glowing area of patterned colour. It looked like squares withn squares and was flowing like energy. The Grey's lower left arm was stretched out forwards with its palm facing down to the ground. It’s right arm hung by its side. It was standing still but was clearly alive rather than a frozen image. Phil stared at the beings for about 8-10 seconds taking in what was happening. As soon as he realised the reality of the situation he got frightened and sat up in bed. At this moment the being faded away. He remained awake, looking around the room expecting for it to reappear. However it did not and in the end he decided to settle back down to sleep. EMMA'S EXPERIENCES Emma is another friend of the band. In addition to her Flying Triangle sighting with David in early 2014 (See Part 3 of this report) she has had numerous other contact-related experiences which began two years previously. Message Through The Radio Emma’s first unusual experience which she believes was ET related occurred late evening in the summer of 2012. That evening she had been standing out in a field with David and Ricky discussing the contact subject and having a bit of a sky watch. It was a clear evening with the stars out, but also quite breezy. Emma remembers specifically stating that she didn’t think contact would ever happen with her as she didn’t feel she was ready for it. Between 11pm-midnight she decided to say goodbye and set off for home along the M40 motorway. There were a few other vehicles on the road at the time. Soon after the junction to Banbury she noticed a very bright white light in the sky ahead of her off to the right of the road. It appeared to be within a mile of her location and was at a viewing angle of about 45 degrees. It was clearly in the atmosphere and not just a bright star. The object began to perform darting manoeuvres back and forth in a very erratic fashion. Aerial map and photograph of the M40 indicating the estimated location where Emma first spotted the light: She continued driving along the road. However rather than passing the object or it becoming closer it remained about the same distance away from her in the sky. It clearly seemed to be moving in the same direction she was, perhaps even pacing the car purposely. This continued for at least 10 miles until she had driven past Gaydon. Aerial map showing the route along which the light was observed: Without warning the radio experienced heavy interference. It un-tuned from the station Emma was listening to and started to search continuously for a station. During this time there was just random static coming through. Emma also noticed that everything else had become very quiet and she could no longer see other vehicles on the road ahead or in her rear view mirror. After about 30 seconds Emma began to hear structure to the static, she could detect patterns in the way it sounded. Suddenly she heard a sentence spoken out quite clearly. The words were “We are here for you”. However rather than a single voice, each word had an individual sound to it, almost like it had been spliced together. Once again there was just static coming through. Emma realised that the white light she had seen was no longer visible. She was extremely un-nerved by what had just happened. She continued to drive and after several minutes the radio seemed to go back to normal and tuned into Heart FM. Emma continued the rest of her journey home without further incident. The message she had heard and the unusual light she had seen stuck with her for a very long time. Emma says that at that time in her life she was feeling quite isolated, so she could interpret the message in two ways. Had the spoken sentence she had heard really come from ETs. If so were they telling her that they had come for her and she would now start to experience contact? Or did they mean that they were there to look after or support her in some way? This is a fascinating experience with multiple aspects to it. Emma says that the bright light she had seen could not have been a helicopter the erratic movements it was making were too rapid. These manoeuvres also put out of the question the idea that the light was nothing but a star. As she was on a motorway at the time the movements could not have been down to her changing direction on the road. The light could not have been a search light or laser from a nearby night club. Firstly it was a clear night so there were no clouds for this light to bounce off. Secondly the light was clearly following along the road for quite a distance rather than just covering the same area of sky. The message is equally as intriguing. The most obvious mundane explanation for it was that the radio had temporarily tuned into a station enough for words to be heard. However if this was the case then why would the words have each been spoken in a different voice? And it is interesting that the words which were heard made sense in terms of ET contact, although one could of course just put this down to coincidence. If the white light really was an ET craft then this could well explain the radio interference observed. There are many incidents on record where this has occurred when craft have been in close proximity to vehicles, some of which I have investigated directly. Perhaps this message hinted at what would happen to Emma in the following years, as this was just the start of numerous unusual experiences. Night Visitation In early 2014 two nights after the Flying Triangle sighting Emma was at her home in Bicester writing for the book and listening to the dictaphone recordings of David that she had previously made for her planned book on contact. That night she settled down to sleep like normal. During the night she awoke to find a shadowy figure standing in the bedroom at her desk. It was too dark to clearly make out features. Instead of reacting normally and panicking she seemed to just accept this and dropped back off to sleep. In the morning she remembered seeing the figure and wondered why she had not been more shocked during the night. Emma does live in a shared house with her land lord, but is convinced that it wasn’t him in the room. This incident is very similar to Adam’s experience of waking up and seeing the figure at the mixing decks, discussed earlier in this report. Missing Time On a day in late May 2014 Emma was on her way out of the house. When she stepped outside she discovered it was raining. She walked to the car, and then suddenly realised she had left something she needed back in the house. She walked back to the house, and then suddenly began to feel a little unusual, almost dream-like. The next thing she became aware of she was walking back out to her car. She could not recall what she had done in the house. When she arrived at the car she realised that all the windows were down. She was absolutely certain that they had not been open when she had initially walked to the car. She then realised that there was about 30 minutes of time she could not account for. On 28th June 2014 Emma went to Pedstock music festival at Stoke Lyne in Oxfordshire. Among many other musical artists at the festival David was playing under his old title of "Unnamed 23-1". Pedstock 2014 poster: She met up with David and told him about this incident. She informed him that she was actually having second thoughts about writing the book on ET contact because these experiences were starting to worry her. She thought it would be best to leave things alone and not get any further involved. LUKE'S EXPERIENCES Luke used to be in a band with David and Ricky, and the ex-bass guitarist of technical metalcore band Scream Blue Murder. He remains a friend of both them and myself. Formation of Lights Around 2010 when he was 24 years old, one late evening Luke was driving home to Bicester on his way home from work. He was travelling along Oxford Road adjacent to the A34. It was a clear evening and stars were visible in the sky. Either side of the road were open farmers’ fields. He suddenly noticed off to the left of the road three glowing yellow-white lights in a wide triangular formation. They appeared to be about 500 metres away and at an altitude of about 1000 feet. They were clearly three separate objects not three lights on a single object. If they were at the distance they appeared to be then Luke thinks they would have been quite large in size, like the size of passenger jets. Aerial map of Oxford Road: Luke pulled the car over in a lay-by and got out to watch the lights. They did not seem to be moving very fast. They were heading in a definite direction away diagonally from the road. But the movement was not a constant speed. They seemed to stop for short durations before continuing. However the three lights maintained the same formation, they did not drift further or closer together at any point. Photograph of the stretch of road along which the sighting took place: He watched the lights for about 5 minutes before deciding to continue on his journey home with them still visible in the sky. Luke does not believe the lights were distant helicopters because of the way they maintained their formation throughout the sighting. Also it would be very rare to see three helicopters at once in the same area. It is unlikely that they were Chinese lanterns as are usually a more amber orange colour, and also tend to drift as they float along. While a mundane explanation is not completely out of the question there is the possibility that these were a formation of ET craft. Unidentified Light Later that same year or the next Luke was out driving around Bicester with his girlfriend. It was about 8pm and a cloudy evening. Due to the time of year it was already dark. As they drove home past Bicester Town Football Club he suddenly noticed a very bright light seemingly coming from the air above the club. It was shining down and illuminating the ground. Further down the road he turned the car into the car park to see if he could get a better look at whatever it was, but it had vanished. Aerial map of Bicester Town Football Club: The source of the light that he had seen was a complete mystery. It was clear that the club was closed and had no lights on, and there was nobody else around. Could it have been a craft hovering over the club which then left moments later? FINAL THOUGHTS It is clear from the above incidents that many of David's friends have also had other UFO or contact related experiences. While it could be argued that some of them may have been as an indirect result of being around David, some of the incidents occurred many years before they knew him. It appears that they have all been drawn together, and all have their own parts to play in this fascinating and extremely detailed case. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2015

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 13/08/2015 Last Updated: 20/06/2017 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used for some witnesses Flying Triangle Sighting In 2014 David’s friend Emma began planning a book themed on ET contact. At the time she was quite sceptical towards the subject but found it fascinating. She was aware of David’s experiences so asked him if he would be in the book. He agreed and they went and visited a number of locations where Emma interviewed David on dictaphone in much the same manner that I did during my investigation. David is a great listener, and often helps his friends through tough times. In April 2014 Emma came round at about 11pm to pick up David from his home and ask for his advice on something personal. It was a calm night but there was a cloud layer blocking out the stars and moon. David knows of a great outdoor location called Brill Hill near the village of Brill, South East of Bicester. This has a nice view of the surroundings and is nice and peaceful, the perfect place to chat. He suggested to Emma that they drive to Brill Hill and she agreed. They set off on their 20 minute journey. Aerial map indicating Bicester (A) and Brill (B): About 6 minutes into the drive they were travelling along the B4011. Due to the time of night there was no other traffic on the road. They were passing through Upper Arncott and were close to Bullingdon Prison when Emma suddenly noticed something in the sky ahead of them off to the right. She asked David “What’s that?” David immediately noticed the object too. It appeared to be equilateral triangle shape and black in colour, although this could have been due to the darkness. At each corner of the underside was a white light. In the centre of the object was a reddish-orange coloured light. The precise height and size of the object was quite hard to gauge, but it appeared to be at around 1500 feet at most, and about the size of a small aircraft. Aerial map showing the estimated location of the sighting: Photograph of the stretch of road where the incident took place: David’s drawing of the UFO: David responded to Emma’s question saying “Looks like a UFO!” Shocked by the sight of the object Emma slowed the car right down to about 30 mph but did not stop. David leaned his head out of the right side window to get a better view of it. The object was travelling at between 200-300 mph. It continued to approach and then flew directly over the car. David could see that it was blocking out the clouds so was definitely a solid object rather than just lights flying in formation. As it passed Emma asked David “Can you still see it?” David turned to her a moment and replied “Yeah”. When he looked back the object had completely vanished from sight, even though there was nowhere it could have been hidden from view. In total they had observed the UFO for about 20 seconds. Emma continued to drive slowly for the remaining 10 miles to Brill. She was clearly shaken by what had taken place and did not really say much. However once they had arrived at their destination she started to panic more, and also wanted to talk about what they had just seen. David informed me that this sighting totally changed her attitude towards the UFO subject. He was also very impressed and told me “It was one of the most impressive craft I’ve seen, with all my friends, even when we’ve had contact. It was one of the closest of craft that have ever come to us.” Due to the time of night and how rural the area was David is not sure whether anyone else would have seen the UFO. However he says that if someone was outside in the prison grounds at the time then they may well have spotted it. Cosmosis & Cosmosiis In the summer of 2014 David and Adam decided to re-form their band under the name Cosmosis. They were initially joined by Phil as their bass guitarist and another friend Paul (nicknamed "Pabz") on Cajon drum. In the spring of 2015 their friend Grant replaced Phil as the bass guitarist in the band. Between 2014 - 2017 Cosmosis produced and recorded many tracks, and played regular gigs down in Oxfordshire. Many of their songs had deep lyrics about ETs, contact and spiritual awakening. The group members feel that the band provided them with a great way of sharing information on these deep subjects with the wider public. Panoramic photograph of Cosmosis playing at the O2 Arena in Oxford, August 2015: The bands first music video, “Hodrien”, is themed on ET contact and is named after myself for my work on the case. It is a fascinating mix of music and spoken word, and features a full conversation between a contactee (played by Adam) and an extra-terrestrial being. Here is the video for the track, which contains audio samples from my 2013 UFO Truth Magazine conference lecture, and footage of other well-known Ufologists: The Facebook page for the band, on which you can find details of upcoming gigs is: https://www.facebook.com/cosmosisbanduk In the summer of 2014 Cosmosis announced that they were discontinuing as a band. However this was not to be the end of their story. They re-formed in the July 2017 under the name Cosmosiis, and have been performing gigs ever since. In addition to this David has continued to his solo music project. Shadow Being Interaction On 5th September 2014 David got in touch with me to go over an incident which had happened on the night of the 2nd. That evening David was out working on a music video. He returned home with Phil at around 11pm. Soon afterwards Phil left and David decided he would get an early night. David often sleeps on the floor of his daughter’s bedroom. When he went upstairs he found the girl’s bedroom light was on. Both his daughters were fast asleep. He switched the light off and laid down on the floor between their beds. He tried dropping off to sleep but was not particularly tired. The bedroom has glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling and as the light had been on these were glowing brightly. As David lay there in the dark staring up at them he suddenly heard a noise which came from the far corner of the room next to the cupboard. It sounded like something had moved. He looked over but could not see anything so lay back down. Two minutes later there was a sudden flash of light which came from the same corner. It was almost like someone had switched a torch on and off extremely fast. At this moment he felt that something was about to kick off and his heart started beating faster. He wondered what was going to happen next. Ellie was asleep on her bed but suddenly began to talk in her sleep. She began by saying “Uh. Uh huh...ok...yeah.” 10 seconds later she said “Uh....what, again?” Another 10 seconds passed. “What now....uhhh ok.” At this moment she sat bolt upright in bed. As soon as she did David noticed a shadowy form of some kind in the corner of the room where the flash had occurred. It began moving across the room towards Ellie's bed. As it passed the window it blocked out the light so was clearly there in the room, but it was not fully physical as it passed right through some boxes on the floor as it went. When it reached the edge of the bed it continued on into it and positioned itself behind Ellie. It then seemed to envelop her, almost like it was hugging her. As soon as it did Ellie said “Oh man, I hate this bit!” She and the shadowy form then remained silent and unmoving for about 2-3 minutes. After this it seemed to slowly dissipate. Once it had gone Ellie lay back down on the bed, still fully asleep. David was amazed and realised that he had just witnessed an interaction between his daughter and an entity of some kind. It appeared to have been talking to her in her mind and she was audibly speaking her responses. In the morning David came downstairs. Ellie was there getting ready for school. He said to her “What was going on with you last night?” Ellie responded “What?” She was clearly intrigued by what David had just said. David responded saying “Oh you were saying things during the night.” He did not want to tell her about the shadowy form as he did not want to frighten her. However Ellie responded saying that she had gone to bed about 10 o’clock but every time she turned off the light she would see a black figure standing in the corner of the room! She would put the light on and the figure would vanish. She said this happened several times and in the end she had left the light on and dropped off to sleep with it on. After realising that Ellie had seen the same thing that he had seen he responded saying “I saw that being last night when I was lying in bed.” Ellie said “He was there all night.” Ellie could not remember any interaction with it, but she knew that it was there waiting in the room when she was trying to fall asleep. Ellie mentioned this and similar previous experiences in her recorded testimony: “I don't think I've ever been awake for the entity, though I felt weird in the morning, waking up. I remember sometimes waking up and feeling like people are there, I'm talking to them, like I'm talking to dad, I can see them pretty much, it's like I'm in a dream but I'm awake. And dad like says "What you doing?" and it snaps me out and they're not there anymore. And then I sit up and turn the alarm clock off. One time was when we stayed at Shaun's house, and we were sleeping in one of the bedrooms, me and Sach, and this shadow was stood in the corner, it was bending down and looking at me. And at first I was really scared, then I fell asleep, I don't know how I fell asleep. And then when I was sleeping in the little bedroom, cause I'd been in a room with Sacha and then I come back again, and I used to wake up to this like really tall shadow used to be stood right over me. And it used to really creep me out. And it happened for a few weeks and then all of a sudden stopped. But I remember putting my lamp on and it'd go.” Regarding the incident at Shaun’s house, David says that he was downstairs at the time and actually felt a presence enter the house. He even questioned Shaun afterwards just to make sure because he lived in quite a big house. He asked him whether he'd had any instances of ghosts or anything like that in the house and he assured him that nothing had ever happened. Ellie also mentioned occasions where she has sensed an invisible presence in the room: “It's usually when I'm on my own. I'd just be on my own in my bedroom and all of a sudden I feel more cold. I was in my bedroom when we'd first moved in, I was watching mum and the dog in the front garden and something spoke to me. Something said to me, it went "What?" So I turned round and I was like "Ahh didn't really hear that" and then I heard a mumbled voice like going "Hurrr". And nobody was in the house, I don't know where dad and Sacha were but I know they weren't there.” Lights through the Trees There are a number of fields on the Northern edge of Bicester where David and his friends like to meet up, walk and chat. Alongside these fields lies an area of woodland known as Cotmore Covert. One evening he and Adam were down at the fields and were planning to go and hang out at this wooded area. Aerial map of Cotmore Covert showing the postion of the witnesses: As they walked along the edge of the field towards Cotmore Covert they suddenly saw some strange moving glowing lights coming from within the trees. These lights were blue-white in colour and seemed to move through the trees quite a distance rather than being at a particular location. They felt they were close enough to hear other people, but it was completely silent. They were a little spooked as they knew there were no houses or roads out on the far side of the woods, so they decided not to go in there. They turned round and started walking back into the adjacent field. Suddenly there were three loud thudding noises in quick succession. They were so loud that they could feel the vibrations in the ground. The first two thuds came from ahead of them in the direction of another copse of trees about 100 yards away. The third thud came from off to their left and seemed to come from one of the other surrounding fields. David does not believe that it was an echo of one of the first two sounds. Aerial map of the copse of trees: A moment later there was a bright sparkle of lights which exploded from inside the copse down by the ground! It was extremely bright but again there was absolutely no noise. Inside the copse is a clearing where people sometimes like to relax and even have bonfires. However David and Adam were certain that there was nobody there at the time as they would have been able to see the glow of the fire or hear people talking. Photograph of the copse of trees from the location the witnesses were when they saw the lights: They both felt uneasy by all this strange activity going on around them, so decided to leave the fields and head for home. They did not investigate further to find out the source of any of the lights they had seen. On a later occasion when they visited Cotmore Covert they came across signs of possible witchcraft, including small wooden figures hanging from branches, piles of cones which had clearly been collected by hand and other branches leant up against trees. David and Adam wonder whether there was some kind of magical ritual going on in the woods at that time which they had witnessed from a distance. Meeting Aboard Craft One night David’s friend "Howard" invited him to come along to his friend Kat’s house for a social gathering. At the time David believed that he had never met Kat before. When they arrived Kat came up to them and greeted them warmly. Immediately David began to get vivid flashbacks. He realised that he had met her aboard a craft during one of his abduction experiences! He recalled seeing her standing in a small sized room, quite dark and with long benches. She was stood up and wearing a long black T-shirt. Her legs were exposed suggesting these were her bedclothes. She was in a state of shock and was crying uncontrollably. He was standing next to her with his hand on her back. He was assuring her that the ETs were ok and that she didn’t need to panic. Despite this reassurance she continued to cry. David felt a bit overwhelmed at this realisation. At the time it appeared that he had recognised her straight away but she had seemingly not recognised him. He kept what he knew to himself as he didn’t think it was appropriate to bring it up out of the blue. Over the next few weeks they happened to meet on other occasions. On about the 4th time they met Kat began to speak about the abduction. She told David that she remembered meeting him aboard a craft. David simply responded by saying “I know” and smiling at her. Not much more was said about it. David believes that although they had shared this experience, Kat was not really ready to open up about it. After this conversation they seemed to part ways. David later heard through friends that she was frightened to speak with him. Kat is no longer in touch with either David or Howard. David says that she has locked herself away from everything and does not seem to have come to terms with what is happening to her. Further Surveillance Earlier in this report I have gone over numerous incidents where David felt he was being watched by Military Intelligence, including one involving an unidentified van. In 2014 David noticed another van that kept parking directly opposite his house for extended periods of time. It looked like a motor home and was in good condition. It was parked there on numerous occasions, and certainly felt out of place. David wasn’t the only one to be concerned by this vehicle. His next door neighbour Becky also noticed it. One day she came and spoke with him about it. She said that she had seen a man in overalls get out of it and walk off. She wondered if the man was living in it. They went out to take another look at the van. It was now that David noticed that the licence plate was OXF MI5. This could of course have just been a coincidence, but considering the fact that Bicester is in the district of Oxfordshire, he wondered if the van was related to Military Intelligence and that they were letting him know that he was being watched. David got back in touch with me at the end of September 2014 to go over several unusual experiences which had taken place during the previous week down at the sports field in Caversfield where they had previously seen the glowing UFOs. Most evenings David would take his pet dog over the field for a walk. On both the 23rd and 24th September David noticed couples who were acting very strangely. They were continuously looking over their shoulders at him, looking away when he glanced in their direction. They were also stretching far too regularly for the entire 40 minutes which he was down there. Obviously there was no way to prove that they were monitoring him in some way, so he decided not to take it on board. Sunglasses On the evening of the 25th David noticed a short lady with dark hair wearing sunglasses. Again she seemed to be staring at him, and would actively look away when he looked at her. He started to pay close attention to what she was doing. As he walked around the outer fence he kept an eye on her. The lady turned around and just stood seemingly staring at nothing. She had her back to him the whole time, but there was nothing for her to be looking at as she too was close to the fence on the opposite side of the field. David decided he would approach the lady to see how she would react. He began to walk towards her across the field. As he approached she continued to stand facing away from him. But as he got within 5 metres of her without warning she took off her sunglasses, put them in her pocket, turned and briskly walked away out of the gate to the field. She was walking so fast the sunglasses fell out of her pocket. David thought about shouting after her but he let her walk away. He picked up the sunglasses. They were like no shades he had ever seen before. They were quite wide, and on the outer inside edges was mirrored glass. He put them on and his thoughts were immediately confirmed – the sunglasses allow you to see behind you over both your shoulders, almost like vehicle wing mirrors. It was clear that the woman had been staring at him all along, and that when she was facing away from him seemingly staring blankly at the fence she in fact could see everything going on behind her! David took some photographs of the sunglasses and sent them to me. Within a week of the incident the sunglasses had gone. David says that he had kept them on the window ledge of the main window of his living room. He noticed one day that they were missing. Neither Janet nor his daughters had any reason to move them, but he asked them just in case. After I had taken the details from David about this unusual experience, I of course actively searched online but could not find a match for the sunglasses anywhere. For a long while both myself and David wondered if the woman seen down the park was involved in surveillance. However in 2017 the shades were traced back to E-Bay alongside other mirrored "spy sunglasses". This tends to suggest that the lady was not involved in officially monitoring David. However the reason why she was clearly watching him as he walked around the park remains a mystery. Electronic Interference David has experienced many occasions where electrical devices have seemingly been affected by his presence, sometimes with other witnesses present. This is a well-documented side effect of contact, and has been reported in many other cases I have investigated. At the North West end of the sports field in Caversfield there is a running track. Sometimes David and his friends like to walk around it while they talk. Aerial map showing the location of the running track: Photograph of the running track: As you can see from the above photo, there are a number of lamp-posts around the track which come on during the evening. On numerous occasions while walking around the track the streetlights have switched off one at a time as they have walked past before switching back on again! Both Adam and Howard have witnessed this while down the track with David. On at least a couple of times they have decided to walk round numerous times and even back track on themselves, and they continued to switch off whenever they got close to them. David said that on these occasions they were only walking at a normal speed so would not have been causing excessive vibrations. This can therefore be ruled out as a possible explanation. David says that most times this has taken place they happened to be discussing deep spiritual concepts. He wonders if this somehow causes the electrical interference to increase in strength or even triggers it entirely. On the evening of 28th October 2014 I contacted David to continue going over some of his earlier experiences for this report. He had decided to go for a walk around the running track on his own to ensure it was quiet for our chat. As we were talking he suddenly informed me that as he had walked past one of the lights it had switched off. About 30 yards on he then informed me that it had come back on again. Shortly after this it went off and came back on a second time. He continued around the track. The next time he walked past the same light he informed me that exactly the same thing had just happened, it once again switched off as he walked by it! It certainly appears that his presence was causing some kind of interference with this single light. Unfortunately he has an old phone without a camera so was not able to video this happening, but I have no reason to doubt that this was taking place as he stated. David’s daughter Ellie has also witnessed this happen on numerous occasions when she has been out with him. In her recorded testimony she mentions the following: “I remember it started when dad was babysitting and we used to walk home, and as we walked along the lamp post we were walking past would start flickering, and as soon as we got past it and we were a few metres away it would stop. It only did it as we were coming near it.  Whenever we walk past lamp posts, they're flickering.” There have also been many occasions where David has gone shopping and when he has approached the till to pay it has stopped working. This has also happened with computers and electronic scanners. David believes it is happening far too regularly to be just down to coincidence. It happens so often that David actively avoids using electronic devices such as computers or mobile phones, and leads a relatively tech-free life. There have been periods of time where loads of light bulbs have blown in quick succession around the house. David has not noted any direct correlation between this and contact experiences he has had. But again it could well be related to his contact experiences. When I initially traveled down Bicester to investigate David’s case I took along a dictaphone to record the interview. In the morning before setting off I checked it and ensured it was at top battery capacity. However after utilising it about half an hour during the investigation I noticed that it had dropped right down to just 1 bar out of 4. I have not seen it do this before or since. We actually had to stop at a local shop in order for me to pick up fresh batteries as I had not anticipated it would run out. Reptilian Walk Ins Over the years there have been a number of incidents where various individuals have seen David’s appearance change to that of a Reptilian. If this had only happened once or twice it could perhaps been put down to imagination or a trick of the light, but according to David it has happened at least fifteen times in the presence of many different people, not all of which have had an interest in the UFO subject. Below are details of just some of these incidents. When David was 23 or 24 he was staying at his parents’ house in Bicester. At the time he knew a man who most knew by the nickname “Speedy”. He was apparently quite reserved, but was in a band which David was a fan of. One evening Speedy turned up at the front door of the house in quite a drunk state. He asked if he could stay a while, saying that he didn’t want to go back home in the state he was in. David agreed and took him into the kitchen to get him a drink of water. He handed him the glass and turned to walk away. Suddenly Speedy screamed extremely loudly and launched himself at David. He smashed the glass over his head, reached for his neck and began strangling him. Fortunately David managed to fight him off and threw him into the corner of the kitchen. He stepped away from him into the living room and shouted at him to get out. But instead he got back to his feet and began to walk towards David again with a look of absolute terror on his face. He then charged at David again. David had no choice but to defend himself. Luckily because of his experience as a boxer he was able to fight him off. He then dragged him outside and called the police. When the police turned up Speedy jumped up to his feet still clearly extremely frightened of David. He pointed right at him shouting out “Look at him! Look at him!” The police just thought he was mad and took him away in their car. David did not get in any trouble as it was clear he had acted in self-defence. After the incident David did not try contacting Speedy to discuss what had taken place. A couple of weeks went by. Then while out in Bicester David happened to walk into a pub where Speedy and a number of his friends were. As soon as David approached them, Speedy nervously got up and walked out of the pub. David spoke to his friends asking about how Speedy had been. He was shocked by what they told him. They said that he had been warning everyone not to trust David, and that he was not who he said he was. He had told them that he was a lizard man and that he must be a demon. Nobody could understand what was going on but it created a rift between David and the group and after a while he stopped socialising with them. A number of months later David bumped into one of Speedy’s friends, who informed him that he was so frightened that he had moved away from Bicester all together. While one could argue that Speedy was in a drunken state of mind, or could have even have had his drink spiked, there have been many other times where everyone involved has been completely sober. Once such occasion happened around 2007-2008. David, Phil and others were out in the back garden of Ricky’s house having a cigarette. Most of his friends went back inside but he remained outside with Phil having a philosophical chat. David suddenly felt a little strange, like the energy around him had changed in some way. At this moment Phil suddenly exclaimed “This is the most bizarre thing Dave! I’m looking at you and I can see this reptile”. David responded saying “That’s interesting, because I’m not making it happen, and I don’t feel like I’m going to bite your head off or anything”. Phil wasn’t scared by what was taking place. He said “I’m not intimidated by it, I can just see this snake”.  He described it as an “overlay”. He could still see David’s face through it, almost like a holographic image. This went on for about a minute. Then Phil said that the image was fading away, and everything went back to normal. A more recent example took place in February 2015. David had gone over to his friend Del’s house. It was early evening and they were sitting in the corner of the front room chatting. Mid-conversation Del suddenly gave a brief look of puzzlement. They carried on talking and didn’t say anything of it at the time. A few days later David met up with him again. Without being prompted Del said to him “I had this really weird experience the other day when I was talking with you. I was really listening to what you were saying and looking right into your eyes. And suddenly the whole picture just changed. In the blink of an eye I saw you as this snake man. And then immediately it went and you were back to normal”. At the time he did not know what to make of it which is why he had not said anything to David. David’s eldest daughter Ellie has also witnessed his eyes change. She mentioned the following in her recorded testimony: “I remember dad’s eyes changing colour. I don't think I remember his body physically changing, but I've seen his eyes change to reptile eyes. They're green and they're thinner than normal. His eye is round, the bits inside aren't round they're like slits.” Incidents of this kind are commonly referred to as “walk ins”. They are quite rare, I have not come across a case where this has happened on so many different occasions before. The reason for why it happens is not really known. It could be the ETs manifesting themselves through the individual because of their direct link with them. It should be noted that David’s other experiences do not involve Reptilians, but instead involve Nordics, Greys and other humanoids. Consciousness at Birth After going over David’s many fascinating experiences that have occurred throughout his life, we will now return to the beginning with some very interesting details about his birth. Immediately following his birth in September 1976 he stopped breathing for two and a half minutes. The doctor’s had nearly given up on him when suddenly he sprang back to life. They were never able to establish a reason for why this had taken place. During one of his meetings with his Nordic contacts, he was informed about what had happened at the moment of his birth. He was told that his consciousness was not human and that he was from them. They said that there was an on-going program in which they would switch consciousness with human beings at the moment of birth. This enables them to live amongst us and experience the world through human eyes. David was informed that he was part of this program, and that the human consciousness within him was switched at birth. Even more strangely, he was informed that this consciousness came into being at a later time inside another body – the body of his sister’s eldest son Paul. David says that Paul is very close to his parents and is like “the son they never had”. On another occasion David’s parents informed him that all the way through the pregnancy they were decided that he was to be named Paul, but when he was born they instead decided to name him David. Obviously neither of these facts prove that this “consciousness switch” took place but they are interesting none the less. Some of the things which the Nordics have informed David of have been very hard to take in. David says that he tries not to think too deeply about some aspects of what is taking place. However he is aware that nothing the beings have told him has turned out to be incorrect, and that a great deal of what they have said has turned out to be true. Identical Markings On the evening of Sunday 18th January 2016 I spoke with David about further activity which had been occurring over the prior fortnight. He informed me that during the night of Thursday 7th January he had a strange and vivid dream. In this dream he was standing in a corridor with a number of other people. The only individual which he recognised was a girl who was standing to his left, a friend of a friend who we shall name Lucy. Everyone appeared to be waiting for something to happen. David felt a rush of excitement as well as fear. However Lucy appeared to be extremely frightened. David held her hand to comfort her. In the morning when he awoke he remembered the dream. David says that this was unusual in itself, as usually he does not remember his dreams. When he got out of bed he immediately noticed a marking on his right leg. On his upper right thigh was a perfect equilateral triangle of red dots. The dots were about 1 cm apart from one another. He tried touching them. They did not hurt at all and did not appear to be raised in any way. Half an hour later his nose started to feel sore. It almost felt as though he had been punched in the nose, but there was no redness or swelling noticeable. Later in the day David got in touch with me via text message. I asked him to get a photograph of the marking before it vanished. Unfortunately David does not own a camera or camera phone so he informed me he would get one when he went around to Adam’s house later on. However over the next two days he was unable to get a photograph. This was not for want of trying. David informed me that he had attempted to get a photo on four different occasions. The first three times he was with Adam. Every time they would discuss getting a photo but would then seemingly forget to do so, and then David would remember later on after he had left. On the fourth occasion he asked Ellie if he could borrow her phone to get a photograph of the marking but again he forgot to do so after he had the phone. This felt very un-natural and David wonders if something was directly interfering with his attempts to photograph it. By the end of Saturday the marking was no longer visible on his thigh. On Sunday he, Janet and Ellie were driving to Banbury for the day when he decided to tell them about what had happened. He mentioned the fact that his nose was still sore. At this Ellie informed him that her nose had also been aching since the Thursday night! David asked her if she had found any markings on herself. She said not at that time but that she had found similar markings on her in the past. The following day Emma came round to David’s house for a chat. She informed him that recently she had been having psychic experiences more powerful than ever before. She said that she kept on hearing low voices which sounded like they were coming from somewhere near to her. She also said that her night’s sleep had been disturbed by strange and repetitive dreams. And in the morning she had found a red triangle of dots on her right forearm. David says that the marking on her arm was identical to what he had seen on his thigh – an exact triangle of red dots about 1 cm across! Later in the week Lucy came round to David’s house by herself on two separate occasions. This was extremely unusual as she would usually just accompany David’s friend and sit there without saying much. But she now seemed to want to talk. They did not discuss ET contact at all, but David finds it to be too much of a coincidence that she would start turning up to chat so soon after he had experienced the strange dream which involved her. Shadowy Figures On Tuesday 12th January Cosmosis played a gig. The evening went really well and David was feeling extremely happy. He returned home and sat on the sofa relaxing. Eventually he decided that he should try to get some sleep. He switched the TV off and lay down on the bed in the darkness. It was about 1.30am when all of a sudden he sensed a change in the atmosphere of the house. He then began to hear objects being moved around in both the kitchen and the living room. It sounded like things being slid along shelves. The sounds made his hairs stand on end as he was still very much awake. He then glanced over at the door to his room. At that moment he saw a shadowy form peer round the doorway. Terrified by this presence he lay extremely still and closed his eyes. He began to picture a white glowing light all around him, a technique he knew for trying to ward off evil. He opened his eyes again and could now see that the entity had now entered the room and was moving slowly around the edge of the bed. He began closing his eyes for a number of seconds before opening them. Every time the figure was still present. He tried speaking with it both telepathically and out loud asking if it wanted to speak with him, but he got no detectable response from it. Eventually he felt the atmosphere change again and when he opened his eyes the shadowy form was gone. The noises of moving objects had also ceased. However things were not yet over. The following morning he got a text message from Howard. It said “Dave I need to come round and talk to you, I’ve had an experience, it was stronger than anything I’ve experienced before.” Howard arrived at David’s house and began to go over what had taken place. David was astounded by what he heard. Howard said that during the night he had found it hard to drop off to sleep. He had been lying in bed around 1.30am and had looked down to the base of his bed. In the corner of the room he had seen a patch of shadow where there would usually not be. From this shadow emerged a shadowy form which approached the side of the bed and stared right at him. Dave was amazed to hear that Howard had experienced almost exactly the same thing he had experienced at around the same time of night! Later on he spoke with Adam on the phone. Adam said that he had woken up around 1.30am for an unknown reason. Finding it hard to drop back off he decided to go down to the garden for a smoke. While out there he suddenly began to feel that there was a dark presence watching him from the base of the garden. He decided to head back inside. Seemingly Adam had also had something take place. In the afternoon another of David’s friends, "Pete", came around to the house for a chat. They were relaxing in the living room. Pete was sitting in a chair which gave him a view through the open doorway to the adjoining kitchen. Suddenly David heard the sound of something sliding along the work surface. At the same moment Pete jumped up and ran into the kitchen. A moment later he came back through holding a golden-coloured stag head Christmas decoration. He exclaimed “Fucking hell mate, I’ve just seen this move across in front of the microwave!” It appeared that whatever David had experienced in the night was still present in the house. Although many people would put this down to poltergeist activity, David believes it is something else, although exactly what he cannot currently say. Daugher’s FT Sighting On the evening of Wednesday 13th January Ellie went out to a local youth centre. When she was home she excitedly informed David that she had seen a triangular UFO. She said that when she had left the centre she observed a dark triangular shaped object with a reddish-orange glowing light in the centre of the underside fly overhead. It was travelling on a straight and level course and was definitely within the atmosphere. As it approached she managed to grab her mobile phone and take some video footage of it. Unfortunately only the light of the object is visible on the footage due to the fact it was after dark, the camera was not good quality enough to capture the edges of the object, but these were certainly visible to the naked eye. David has informed me that he will send the footage to me soon. Once I receive it I will add it to this section with full analysis. Conclusions As you can see David has had an incredible number of experiences, many of which have been in the presence of others. It is clear that both he and his family are experiencing contact, although not everyone involved has chosen to embrace it in the same way that he has. It seems probable that David is the key individual throughout these experiences, certainly he is the only family member who they have chosen to speak with on a direct level. David’s experiences have clearly not only involved his family but also his friends and other associates. Some of his friends have seemingly become contactees themselves through being around David. However others have had contact-related experiences since an early age, many years before knowing him. I find the evidence for the reality of this case to be extremely compelling. It involves so many testimonies which clearly back each other up with very few discrepancies. I have spoken with David directly for many hours about his experiences. There is absolutely no question that he is talking about real incidents. It is clear that David’s experiences have changed him as a person on numerous levels, and affected many aspects of his life, again supporting their validity. Although not required as part of my investigation, David asked some of the other witnesses to sign a written statement testifying to the validity of the details revealed. This again serves as a reminder that this case is not simply about David, but has involved many other people too: Investigating this case has been both fascinating and profound. It has opened my eyes to some of the deeper aspects of the contact phenomenon, and in some ways altered my views on the subject. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David, his family and friends for coming forward with this important information, the details of which would have probably remained largely in the dark. I have formed lasting friendships with David and others I have spoken with, so will very likely be kept informed of other experiences as they happen. Keep checking this report for updates. As mentioned near the start of the report, many of David’s friends have had other experiences of their own. These will now be discussed in depth. ADAM'S EXPERIENCES Adam is the guitarist and backing vocalist of Cosmosiis, and has been a close friend of his for many years. He has been present during a number of David’s experiences. However he has also had other experiences which go right back to his childhood that suggest he too is a contactee. Possible Abduction In 1997 when Adam was 11 years old he went for a sleepover at the house of another friend named Dave. At the time Dave lived on Tangmere Close, Glory Farm, Bicester. Aerial map of Tangmere Close: Dave had a bunk bed and Adam ended up sleeping on the top bunk. They dropped off to sleep at around. At about 5am Adam woke up to find the window of the room banging back and forth and the blinds flapping around violently. He is not sure whether it was the noise of this which caused him to stir. He leaned over the edge of the bunk bed and saw that Dave was also awake. They both glanced at each other, puzzled by what was taking place. Within a number of seconds a blue-white light suddenly entered the room coming from outside of the window. Adam says this got brighter and brighter until he could see nothing else. He then fell backwards onto the bed and passed out. The next thing he became aware of it was morning time and he was waking up. He remembered seeing the light and thought about it as he got dressed. Over breakfast his friend leaned over and said “Did you see that blue light that came into the room last night?” This brought home the reality of the experience. Adam confirmed that he had seen it but had then blacked out. Dave confirmed the same thing had happened to him. They decided to keep the experience to themselves at that time and did not tell Dave’s parents about it. However they did later share the details with some of their friends. This experience bears all the hallmarks of an abduction. Adam says the flapping of the blind and window was quite forceful and clearly not just caused by wind, something was greatly disrupting the air in the vicinity. This and the light which followed could not have been a nearby helicopter because if so they would have heard the rotor blades. The fact that both Adam and Dave woke up and confirmed the experience means it is very unlikely to have been a dream or a sleep paralysis incident. It was also clear that the boys could move freely as they looked at each other. It appeared that the light entering the room (or something that accompanied it) switched them both off simultaneously. This has been reported in many abduction cases. Elvis In his early teens Adam began to have recurring dreams about a specific Grey being. This being was quite tall in height, just under six foot. It was slender and unclothed. Its skin was light grey colour. It had a head a bit larger than human, but was oval in shape rather than the more commonly reported pear-like shape. It had no visible nose and a slit for a mouth. Its eyes were large and dark navy coloured. They were highly reflective. The being told Adam its name was Elvis. At the time he was playing a game on Nintendo 64 called Project Dark. This game featured an alien nicknamed “Elvis” which had been captured and held at the infamous Area 51 base. Adam believes that the Grey in his named itself this so he could relate it to the alien from the game and would therefore find it less frightening. Witness drawing of “Elvis”: In the dreams Adam would have telepathic communications with this being. He cannot really remember what they talked about, just that he had similar dreams on a number of occasions. While these meetings felt like dreams to Adam, they could well have been genuine contact experiences. ET contact can often feel like a vivid dream due to the altered state of mind which usually accompanies such experiences. Glowing Winged Beings One of the most unusual incidents Adam has experienced took place at the playing field behind Bicester Community College (BCC), known as the Annex field. It was around 8pm in the evening and Adam was on his way out with two friends, Grant and Joe. They were walking along Ashby Road on their way into Bicester for some drinks. The road passes along the West side of the Annex field. Adam needed to use the loo, so decided to nip out of sight around by a block of garages. Aerial map showing the Annex field and the location of the garages on Ashby Road: Photograph of the entrance to the garages. In the background the fence of the Annex field can be seen: While down there he looked out over the Annex field. He suddenly noticed two glowing orange lights in the sky over the field. They appeared to be quite high altitude, at least a couple of thousand feet up. He was viewing them at quite a steep angle, about 60-70 degrees. The lights were moving quite fast swooping and diving around one another. Not only were they changing position but they were also rapidly descending and ascending as they moved. Witness drawing showing the glowing lights in the sky: After several seconds the lights descended right down to about 800 feet. At this point Adam could see their form more clearly. He was amazed to see what appeared to be two glowing humanoid winged beings within the lights. They had definite form to them with arms legs and head visible as well as two huge wings which seemed to come up out of their back. However there was no detail seen within these shapes, possibly due to the altitude and the brightness of the light coming from them. Witness drawing of one of the glowing winged beings: Adam called over Grant and Joe and all three of them continued watching the glowing beings as they swooped in arcs around one another. Within seconds Adam got his phone out and contacted his friend Howard. The reason he did this was because Howard lives on Lucerne Avenue in Bure Park about 1 km to the North of his location, and he wanted to see if he could see them too. Howard went outside and informed him that he could not. While continuing to observe the beings Adam backed off out of the garage area onto Ashby Road. He did this as he felt that maybe the orange glow on the beings was being caused by nearby street lighting, and he wanted to test this theory. It became apparent to him that they really were glowing brightly and were self-luminescent. The whole incident lasted for about 5 minutes, and the majority of this Adam had Howard on the phone, even when the beings flew away into the distance out of sight. Once they were gone the witnesses briefly spoke about what they had observed before continuing their journey. They did not really talk that much about it that evening, but in the coming weeks had a number of deep discussions about the origin of these beings. ET Interactions Adam and many of the other contactees mentioned in this extensive report regularly practice meditation. They all believe that through meditation they can bring about experiences on a different plane of reality - that some of the visions which have come to them while meditating are real experiences occurring on a metaphysical level. Some may argue that anything seen during this state is just down to the individual’s own imagination, however these experiences have included beings and craft as well as direct communication and so are certainly worth mentioning. In July/August 2010 Adam and Grant went to an outdoor party being held at “the Ghost Fields” just off Gavray Drive, close to the location where David and Ricky witnessed the landed UFO and line of beings. Aerial map of “the Ghost Fields”: There was a bonfire and numerous people had brought along guitars and drums. After everyone had had a few drinks and the party had gone on a while everyone began to discuss more philosophical subjects. Adam, Grant and several others had separated from many of the other people at the party and were standing at the edge of an adjoining field. The other individuals left until there was just Adam and Grant there. As it was very peaceful they decided it would be good to mediate a while. At first they were sitting down but after a while stood up. They were standing there staring at the surroundings when Adam began to feel the presence of a being. He sensed that this being was a Nordic humanoid. This feeling increased and it became obvious there were multiple beings in their vicinity. Even though they could not see them, both Adam and Grant felt that they moving in a circle around their location. Neither of them were scared by what was taking place, they were more fascinated by it. Adam suggested that he and Grant touch hands. This is a technique used in meditation to try and heighten energy and enhance the experience. When their hands touched for a split second it felt like they had merged into a single person. This shocked both Adam and Grant and they jumped back from each other. Everything now felt extremely vibrant like their senses were on full alert. They waited a couple of minutes before deciding to return to the party around the bonfire. When they walked back over Adam’s friend Aidan approached them to see how they were. When he looked at Adam he handed him some sunshades and said to him “Oi mate you’re going to need to put on these glasses. Your eyes have gone a bit Reptilian!” Adam was a little frightened by this statement. He had been looking into Reptilians quite a bit around that time and viewed them as a negative species. Aidan was also familiar with them so when he said this he did mean it in ET terminology rather than saying that Adam’s eyes were like that of a reptile. Adam says that the reason why Aidian did not get freaked out by this and start telling the other party goers  was because he was quite in tune with the subject, and was also emotionally strong and not easily scared. Adam put the shades on which with the glowing firelight enhanced the definition of light and shadow quite nicely. He looked round at the other party goers. Most people were chatting away with each other in small groups. His friend Scott was sitting quite close to the fire and looking quite drunk. Another friend Jaime was stumbling around on his own looking more than a little tipsy. When Adam looked at him he was amazed to see several short Grey beings around him! They were about 4 feet high and were unclothed. Each Grey held what appeared to be a stick of some kind, similar to a wooden stick with curves in it, but also looking strangely different. The Greys were poking Jaime with these sticks making him laugh and topple back and forth. It was as if they were toying with him. It was clear that Jaime had no idea these beings were present. Wondering if it was just a trick of the light, Adam took off the sunglasses. When he did he could no longer see the beings he could just see Jaime stumbling around. Yet when he put them back on again there the Greys were again! They were quite clear, and Adam was sure they were real rather than just being formed from light and shadow. Adam did not hand the shades to Grant or anyone else to see if they could also see the beings as he was fascinated by them and wanted to keep watching them himself. He may have been able to if it wasn’t for what happened next. Suddenly without warning Scott suddenly jumped up to his feet. Looking right at Adam he shouted out “ADAM, THEY’RE HERE!” He then started moving towards the fire. It was clear that he was about to throw himself into it. Luckily both Adam and about 5 others reacted quickly enough. They all ran towards him jumping on him and holding him down. It took all six of them to hold him on the ground, it was if he was massively strong despite the fact that he was clearly extremely drunk. He began to snarl and growl at them like an animal. It was as if something had taken control of him. While holding him down Adam looked into Scott’s eyes. It was like he was no longer present. Scott looked back at him almost whatever was in him was searching through his mind to find his fears. Scott then began to grind his teeth, something Adam can barely stand. It was like the entity in Scott was aware of this and did it on purpose, perhaps in an effort to get Adam to let go. After about a minute of perseverance, Scott seemed to calm down and return to normal. However several minutes later he tried the same thing again. Once more everyone jumped on him and held him down. This happened a couple more times until in the end someone was called to come and pick him up. Later on when Adam spoke with Scott about the incident, Scott informed him that he had felt like he was possessed. It was as though some dark force had entered him. He had very little recollection of being held down or of trying to jump into the fire. Some people at the party believed that Scott’s actions were just down to his mental state at the time, as he had recently come out of a relationship. However Adam believes that a Reptilian being had taken over Scott and was trying to cause him harm. He feels that the other strange incidents which took place were just building up to what happened. Bizarre as it sounds, there appears to have been multiple different beings present that night which interacted with the party goers in various ways. As part of my investigation I did ask Adam whether anyone was taking any recreational drugs at the time which could have contributed to what took place. Adam assured me that there was only alcohol being drank, and that he and Grant had only had a couple of pints. Scott was extremely drunk at the time and was also depressed so it is possible that this caused him to break down and attempt to take his own life. However this cannot really explain how he could suddenly gain near super-human strength in such a state, or how he was somehow aware of Adam’s extreme dislike of the sound of grinding teeth.
