Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 05/05/2018 Note: For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms hav been used for some witnesses and certain location names have been omitted Chest Operation Within a few days of the conveyor belt experience, Tina appears to have been abducted yet again. Once again she had no memory of travelling, but found herself in the familiar dome-shaped room with glowing walls. She was lying down on a bench and unclothed and elevated at a slight angle downwards. She could feel some kind of device over her stomach area pushing down on her. There were several short Greys around her including the one who knows her. It was standing closest to her head. It leaned in close to her and stared into her eyes. Like before she then felt a psychic link with it open inside her mind. Tina sensed that the being was amazed she was awake. It then began to show her symbols in her mind which represented human reproduction. Tina asked him telepathically “Which part does life come from?” The Grey explained to her that the female ovum was like a dead battery which gets charged during fertilization. He informed her that they did not fully understand the process themselves. Drawing of the reproduction symbols Tina was shown telepathically: While she was being shown these symbols the other beings were performing some kind of operation on her using the device over her chest. Suddenly she saw a spurt of blood come up into her eye-line which landed on one of the beings causing it to panic. She then blacked out for what seemed like a couple of seconds. When she came round, one of the beings held up a bag filled with clear fluid and a 10 inch long tube. Her friend spoke to her, informing her that she was going to die unless they gave her the fluid. Tina informed him that she was worried as she did not know what it was. He responded, informing her that it was cloned blood, and that when it was induced into her body herb blood cells would attach to it and it would take on her DNA. With this explanation Tina was happy for them to proceed. Her friend informed her that it was unsure of where to insert the tube. Tina showed the being a memory of having blood taken from her left forearm. Drawing of Tina lying down on the bench with the device over her chest and bag attached to her arm: She felt one of the beings insert the tube into her arm. At this moment the image froze and there was a flash of white light. This was the last thing she recalled taking place. When she got up in the morning her chest ached. She also noted that her neck felt stiff, although she could not relate this to anything that she recollected from the experience. When she checked in the mirror she noticed a small round indentation on the left side of her chest. It did not seem to hurt at all. She was certain that it had not been there previously as she would have noticed. She was unaware at the time, but this could well be a “classic” scoop marking, one of the more commonly found contact-related body markings. These are caused by the ETs removing the upper layer of skin without breaking it, which leaves a round indentation but no blood. Photograph of the possible scoop mark on Tina’s chest: She also found a round reddish mark on her left forearm where the tube had been inserted. Again she was certain that it had not always been there. This marking left a lasting scar which is still clearly visible today. Photograph of the scar on Tina’s left forearm: Both of these markings appeared during the night (to Tina's knowledge), and one of them she could link directly to what she remembered taking place. This lends a lot of weight to the incident being a genuine abduction. Unexplained Neck Bruising The stiffness in Tina’s neck did not go away. A couple of days later she went with her mother to get some passport photographs taken at a photo booth in Bitterne Post Office. When the photos were developed she was shocked and loudly exclaimed “What the fuck?” The photographs appeared to show areas of dark bruising around her neck area. She asked her mother, who confirmed that nothing was visible directly. The passport photographs showing the neck bruising: Tina initially assumed that the marks may have been caused by the particular photo booth she had used. She and her mother drove to Woolworths and had some more taken at the photo booth there. Once again the markings were clearly visible. Her mother was very concerned and recommended that she should go to her GP to try and get some answers. The following morning Tina went to her GP to see what he would make of the photographs. After showing him them, he confirmed that it looked like bruising caused by muscle damage. He informed her that sometimes bruising will only show up under certain kinds of light, which may have accounted for why nothing could be seen directly. He confirmed that the markings were too low down on her neck to have been caused by strangulation. As her neck was not hurting at all, he recommended that she kept well rested and then she should return to the photo booth after four days to take some further photographs to see if the bruising had reduced in extremity. She followed his instructions and four days later went to get more photos. Second set of passport photographs: As you can see, on this second set of photographs the markings were still visible but were much less pronounced. This confirmed that they were not a photographic artefact, and that they were healing up as expected. The fact that these markings were found soon after numerous vivid abduction experiences certainly suggests that they were related to one of these experiences. Tina’s neck had felt stiff after the experience involving the chest operation. This suggests that she may have sustained these injuries during that, although she cannot recall anything being done to her neck which would account for the damage. It is possible that further procedures were performed after she blacked out. Another possibility worth considering is that the injuries were linked with the device that had attached her to the conveyor belt, and it just took a few days for the symptoms to materialise. The Black Pods Soon after she had recovered from her neck injuries Tina had another abduction experience. She had gone to bed with her husband like usual. During the night she awoke and felt that there was a presence in the house. Without waking her partner she got out of bed and checked each of the rooms. Finding nothing out of place she got back into bed and settled back down. Tina then found herself in a very small room with a low ceiling. She was laid down on a flat surface and could not move. There was bright white light all around her and she couldn’t clearly see the walls of the room but could sense that it was quite small in size. She attempted to establish telepathic communication with any beings which might be present there. Immediately she heard the familiar voice of her friend in her mind. He assured her everything was going to be ok. He then leaned over her from the right, looking down at her face. Due to his height, she realised that if he was standing next to her she would have to be about 1.5 feet off the floor. However as she could not move she could not verify this. He stared at her for a few seconds before backing off out of sight. Tina felt that he had done this just to reassure her that he was there with her. After this she suddenly blacked out for a couple of seconds. When she came round she found herself in a different room. The ceiling was domed and was higher than before, and the room scale was much larger. There was bright light coming down from the ceiling from an indeterminate source. She was again on a flat bench in the middle of the room but this time it was raised at a 30 degree angle. She was still paralyzed and could only move her eyes. Something caught her eye off to the right. She realised that there was a group of at least 6 very short Greys standing roughly 10 feet away from her off to her left. They appeared to be huddled together, more so than they would usually be. Again her friend was standing near to her. He looked at her and then moved back leaving her lying there on her own. A moment later something else to her right again drew her attention, movement of some kind. Tina had no idea what to expect. But when she glanced to the right she was absolutely shocked by what she saw. Alongside her was a metallic panel of some kind coming up from the floor. At first she thought the panel itself was moving. But then she realised that wrapped around it was a huge snake-like creature! Its skin was completely white and very smooth. Its facial features were similar to those of a Grey, with large black eyes, but its chin was more straight edged and pointed. There was also an indent at the centre of its forehead. Its neck must have been between 12-15 feet in length. Tina realised that the group of Greys in the room were scared of it, and this is why they were huddled together. Drawing of the snake-like creature and other Greys: As Tina watched, it began to uncoil from the panel. It then swung round its head in a very slow movement until it was looking down at her. Tina was absolutely terrified and thought that it was going to eat her. It slowly moved upward until it was staring down at her forehead. Tina did not sense that It was trying to connect with her. It then seemed to reverse its movements and begin to coil back around the panel again. As it did so the intensity of the light increased until Tina could no longer see anything. When she could once again make out the surroundings she again found herself in a new location. This area was much larger. There was bright white light all around her. Outside of this the surroundings were much dimmer and hard to make out clearly. She was lying down on a metallic bench which was raised up at an angle. To her right was a number of Grey beings including her friend. Tina wanted to fully sit up but could feel the beings blocking her from doing so. Her friend stepped forward into her eye-line and connected with her telepathically. When he did she could hear the other beings conversing with one another. He assured her that everything would be ok. He then said he would allow her to get up but that she would have to behave. She then found she could sit up. She stepped down off the bench onto the floor. As she did so she now realised she was wearing a gown made out of thin material. It felt like she was under control. She felt a bitter taste on her breath, and also felt quite giddy. She felt that the beings had done something to sedate her. She stepped forwards, and could feel the presence of the beings behind her. As she slowly walked forwards she began to move out of the light. As she did so she began to see a little clearer and realised how large the room she was in actually was. Tina estimates that it was 30-40 feet across and had a very high ceiling. It was too dark to see the colour of the walls or ceiling, but the floor was a dull grey colour. She noticed some movement in front of her and stepped a bit closer to see what it was. Out of the darkness about 20 feet away from her she began to make out rows and rows of egg-shaped pods on raised pedestals. The pedestals were about 1.5 feet in height, and the pods were about 2.5 feet in height. They looked like they were made out of black glass. Coming from with the middle of the objects were red glowing lights. The pods were in groups of three and arranged on ascending steps back as far as she could see. There was a short Grey standing amongst the rows of pods. It was only about 3 feet in height. When it saw Tina inquisitively looking at the pods it stepped forward as if to protect them from her. Tina could sense that it saw her as a threat and did not want her to approach the pods. In her mind she heard her friend order the shorter one to step back and let her approach. Drawing of the rows of pods and the small Grey: Tina stepped closer towards the closest group of black pods. As she did she realised that each of them contained what appeared to be a human foetus! Tina estimates they were between 6-7 months gestation from their size. They were floating in fluid inside each of the pods and were lit up by the red glowing light. She could not make out any umbilical cords. She reached down and touched one of the pods. It felt cold to the touch. As soon as she touched it she heard numerous girl’s voices in her mind. Immediately she knew that all the foetuses were female.The Greys present appeared very surprised that she was aware of this fact. She could sense them scanning her mind trying to work out how she knew this information. Due to the temperature of the pod’s surface, Tina was worried about the babies being too cold. Her friend spoke up again, informing her that the babies were being kept warm by the red lights she could see and that the temperature was being regulated. He also informed her that the fluid inside was artificial embryonic fluid. Tina leaned over one of the pods and looked to examine it further. There were three tubes connected to the back of it – one tube about 2 inches in diameter which was attached to the back of the pod, and two smaller tubes attached to the pedestal. All three went down into the floor. Drawing of one of the pods from different angles: As she was looking down at the pod Tina suddenly saw a red glowing pulse of light appear under her feet below the surface of the floor. It shot away on a straight path at a fast speed and was lost from sight. A few seconds passed and then she saw the light again. This time she decided to follow the path it was taking to see where it was going to. Drawing of Tina following the red pulse: She began to walk across the room in the direction the light had gone. She was intrigued by what it could be. In response to this her friend informed her that it was related to energy passing around the craft. He then projected a vision into her mind to give her a visual representation of how this energy system worked. From what she could gather the red pulses she could see under the floor were pulses of energy. As the energy is used up by the craft this pulse gets bigger in size and moves faster. It then enters three cube shaped structures one at a time, carried by a wave of some kind which Tina interpreted as a sound wave. Inside each box the energy pulse bounces around, and as it does so it gradually slows down. By the time it exits the final box it has been fully powered back up and is ready to use around the craft again. It continues this way in a continuous cycle. Drawing of the energy system of the craft: After seeing this vision Tina was suddenly pulled backwards towards the bench quite forcefully. Before she knew it, she was once again lying down and could barely move. The short Grey she had seen amongst the pods approached the foot of the bench. It was holding something wrapped up in a blanket. The being held this bundle up and pulled back the blanket to reveal a baby girl who was clearly not entirely human. She appeared to be between 3-6 months old. Her skin was bright pink and she had dark black hair. Her eyes were completely black. Tina realised what the beings had done. She knew that this baby was a cloned hybrid they had made using her DNA. She then sensed the baby connect telepathically with her. Tina realised that this baby had all of her memories up until recent months where the memories suddenly stopped. She sensed a particular coldness from her, like she was lacking in emotions. This was all too much for Tina to deal with and she began to panic. Drawing of the Grey bringing her the hybrid baby: The small Grey hurriedly took the baby away and Tina was pulled back down onto the bench with force. She was deeply concerned by what was happening. Her friend approached her side and informed her that her panicked state had frightened the baby. However the baby would need to connect with her again in order to form a bond with her and obtain a memory of her. It would later share this memory with the other hybrids once they had reached gestation. The short Grey approached from the left side of the bench. Once again it pulled back the blanket and, like before, the baby connected with her telepathically. It then formed a memory of how she currently looked. Tina was able to see this image, like looking into a mirror. She looked flushed and bedraggled, and her hair was in a mess. Drawing of the Grey approaching with the baby a second time: The baby was then covered up and taken away. Tina was quite upset, and asked her friend what they were going to do with her. This question was not answered. Instead the light around her began to get brighter until it completely enveloped her. She then found herself in another room. This one was quite cramped, no more than 10 feet across. It had a low curved ceiling. Again she was lying down on a flattened bench. The only being now present was the one familiar to her. It was standing alongside her. Looking over at the wall of the room, Tina saw a wall with lots of lines on. When she looked closely she saw that these lines were made up small moving images almost like living cartoon strips. Tina was informed that they were memories from different times and places. Tina suddenly felt the urge to gain an understanding of where human life had originally come from. She asked her friend. In response to this he directed her towards one of the memories, and Tina began to experience a vision in her mind. She found herself in a clear spherical object like a bubble alongside her friend. There was blue sky all around them. She looked down below her and realised they were hovering above another planet. It looked absolutely vast. There was a huge open field of thick green grass-like vegetation which stretched for miles into the distance. On the horizon she could see a distant mountain range. The sphere descended until they were hovering about 10 feet off the surface. Tina stared into the distance towards the mountains. As she focused on them the sphere immediately sped up to an incredible speed and shot towards the mountains. Within a couple of seconds they were there! When the sphere stopped again Tina saw what appeared to be a strong muscular horse with a man riding bareback. The man reminded her of a Native American Indian. He had light brown tanned skin, and was wearing clothing around his waist and a necklace. He did not appear to see the sphere that Tina was inside. Suddenly the sphere moved again, shooting forwards across the surface of the planet. It went over the brow of a hill. Ahead of her Tina briefly saw an ocean of water. The sphere descended down into the water, and quickly made its way to the sea bed. Here she saw what appeared to be an underwater volcano, with heated bubbles of air emerging from it. Near to this she saw a few other spheres with Greys inside in a seated position. Tina became aware that they were performing some kind of research on the underwater volcano. One of the spheres moved closer to it. Suddenly there was a bright flash and a violent explosion. The force of this blast sent the sphere they were in backwards at an extreme rate. As it did so she received information about what had happened from her friend. He informed her that the magnetic field around the sphere had reacted with the volcano causing it to erupt. This catastrophe was going to cause the death of this planet. His race only had half an hour to obtain as many biological samples as they could, including humans who were living there. Drawing of the man on the horse and the ground beneath them contained within one of the spheres: The sphere continued to ascend up through the atmosphere and out into orbit of the planet. Here Tina could see a couple of extremely large cigar-shaped craft. Countless spheres containing Greys were emerging from these and heading down towards the planet to obtain samples while there was still time. Tina then witnessed the destruction of the planet. As it broke apart she was sent hurtling through space amongst debris and many other spheres. This course led to our solar system. Tina was informed that they were trying to find a habitable planet to preserve the life they had obtained. They flew past Mars and then Tina saw them approach the Earth. As they got near, the sphere slowed right down. Tina watched as the debris entered the atmosphere. It was mostly made up of small pieces of rock, but there was one huge piece which collided with the planet. Her friend told her that once this impact had subsided they took the biological samples and used them to seed the Earth. This was where the vision ended. Tina awoke with a start and sat up in bed. It was morning time. As with her other experiences they seemed far more vivid than a normal dream would. Could this huge series of events have actually taken place during the night? Was it memories of a previous experience that she was now recollecting? Had everything she had seen actually taken place, or was it a mix of reality and a dream? There were so many unanswered questions. But whatever the answers, this experience left a lasting impression on her. Triangle of Dots For a number of years Tina has been aware of a small triangle of dots on her right wrist. She cannot recall exactly when she first noticed them but is certain that they were not there during her childhood. She just recalls washing her hands one day and seeing them there. Photograph of the triangle of dots: The dots are a lighter tan colour compared to other moles on her body, and lie flat against the skin as opposed to being raised. They may well be small moles, and Tina cannot directly link them to any particular experience. However there are a number of cases on record where contactees have discovered very similar markings on them, so I felt these images were worth including. Elevated Enzyme Level In 2009, at 38 years of age, Tina began to feel unwell. It started as spates of extreme tiredness, and an aching underneath her ribs. At the time she was already suffering from other medical issues which required her blood to be sent regularly for testing. When she next sent in a sample, her doctor called her on the phone and asked her to come and see him to discuss the results of the test. She was informed that the level of the enzyme Alanine Transaminase (ALT) in her blood was much higher than would be considered normal. She was informed that having a level of 22 units per litre would be considered high. Hers were currently at 52 units per litre! This would usually be indicative of inflamed or damaged liver cells but her doctor performed further tests and could find no explanation. He asked her to come back two days later. When Tina returned, the doctor found that the level had gone up even more to 57 units per litre. He informed her that he would need to refer her to a specialist, and that they would contact her. Sure enough, a week later she had a phone call asking her to go to Southampton General Hospital. At the hospital she spoke with a consultant. They asked her for her medical history, and asked many other questions including whether she had been on an aeroplane, scuba diving, visited other countries and was on any medication. Like her doctor, the consultant could not explain why her enzyme levels were so high. They did not know of any way to reduce the levels so she was asked to return home. She would have to live with the side effects and hopefully over time the levels would go back to normal. A couple of months later when another blood test was performed they found her ALT level was now up to 90 units per litre! Her consultant was really concerned and informed her that if the level continued to increase drastic measures would have to be taken. Unfortunately it did, and when her ALT level reached 149 units per litre she was put on a three year long drugs trial. Luckily the trial worked really well and by the end of it her ALT level had dropped back down to 48 units per litre. She has continued to have blood tests three times a year ever since. There may be a completely natural explanation for the rise in her ALT enzyme level. However looking back over the years she has suffered from this, Tina has noted that the level has been particularly high around the same time she has had contact experiences, suggesting they may be connected in some way. Whether there is a direct link between the ailment and her experiences is yet to be determined. Internal Damage On 18th May 2012 Tina suffered from an ectopic pregnancy which almost claimed her life. She became aware of the situation via a strange dream in which a baby boy spoke to her saying “Mummy you’re hurting me!” When Tina mentioned the dream to her mother, she recommended she went for a pregnancy test. Tina’s GP told her that there was nothing wrong and told her not to worry, but that night she woke in extreme pain. She was rushed into Princess Anne hospital where the doctors discovered she had a ruptured pregnancy. Due to the fact that her blood pressure was dropping she was immediately taken to the operating theatre. When she came round from the operation there were three surgeons standing in the room at the end of the bed. They appeared puzzled and began to question her, asking about her medical history and asking her when she was last in hospital for procedures. Tina informed them that she had not been in for any major operations before. They then told her that she had a lot of internal damage which her official medical history did not account for. They said that it looked like her pelvis had been stabbed with a needle again and again, and that they had removed a mass of black membrane from around her pelvic area. The doctor confirmed that they had removed a lot of it, but that there may have been some which they had missed and couldn’t see. Medical notes confirming internal damage found: The doctors could find no rational explanation for what was observed. The internal damage was, and still is, a mystery. Without a mundane explanation, there is the possibility that it was caused by one or more procedures performed on her during abduction experiences. Embryos aboard Craft In the summer of 2014 Tina had another detailed abduction experience which has clear links with the hybrid breeding program. It occurred during the night at an unknown time. When she first came round she found herself standing on a raised step aboard a craft. In front of her was a metallic panel of some kind and a long rectangular window. Standing close to her was her friend. Tina looked out of the window. In the distance she could see the Earth. It was mostly covered in shadow but she could see sunlight illuminating the Northern curvature. Drawing of Tina looking out of the window: Modified photograph to show how the Earth would have looked from the window: The craft she was on was moving further away and beginning to speed up. Suddenly everything went black for a moment. When she could see again, she was still looking out of the window, but the craft was now on approach to Jupiter. It was moving very fast, and a couple of objects, possibly moons, zipped past in a blur. As the planet got closer Tina was shocked to see that alongside it was an absolutely massive black coloured cigar-shaped spacecraft! Its scale was absolutely epic. There were no markings on the hull visible apart from a series of lines towards the left side of it that looked like a grill of some kind. It became evident that the ship she was on was heading towards the massive craft rather than the planet. As it flew towards it Tina suddenly received an information download. She saw a series of numbers in her mind which started slowly but then began to speed up. These numbers then changed to symbols made of lines and dots. Tina was aware that these symbols represented other numbers, but she had no idea what they referred to. Drawing of the huge craft alongside Jupiter: They reached the giant craft and slowed to a half alongside it. It was so huge that it blocked her entire view from the window, all she could see outside was the dull black coloured hull. She wondered how such a huge object would not have been detected on Earth. She then felt “the link” begin in her mind, and her friend spoke to her. He informed her that the craft could not be detected from the particular position it was in. A glowing white light enveloped her. When she could see again, she found herself standing in a narrow and very long corridor. She assumed she was now aboard the giant craft. The corridor was about 8 feet high, but only several feet wide. There was a dim blue glow from long thin lights that ran along the ceiling. The walls of the corridor appeared to be made up of 4 foot by 2 foot rectangular black panels. The floor was black in colour. Tina tried moving and found that her movement was very restricted. She could sense a very short Grey standing behind her but could not turn to look at it. Instead she felt a strong urge to walk forward, like she was being controlled. She began to shuffle forward along the corridor in short steps. She wanted to lift her hands up to touch the walls of the corridor but could not. Further down the corridor she could see another Grey. It appeared to be observing her and did not connect with her telepathically. After walking a number of metres along the corridor she suddenly halted. Then her arm was lifted up. Her hand moved towards of the black panels. As it got near the panel sprung open and began to slowly slide out from the wall. At this point Tina realised it was actually a drawer containing something. The interior of the drawer was white in colour and emitted glowing light. Drawing of the corridor with the Greys present: Drawing of the panel opening in the wall: Inside it she could see rows flattened circular containers. They were clear like glass and reminded her of small petri dishes. Tina looked more closely at these containers. She was shocked to see that each one contained a tiny embryo floating in clear fluid. This single drawer contained at least 50 of them. The enormity of this revelation hit home. If this was inside a single panel, and the others also contained embryos there would be hundreds upon hundreds in this corridor alone! Drawing of the embryos inside the drawer: Tina asked in her mind “Why have you done this?” The being behind her responded and told her that these were hybrid embryos which were to be used to populate another planet elsewhere in the universe. Without warning a vision of the journey the ship would make to reach this other planet began in her mind. She viewed the journey from the ships perspective, almost like she was strapped to the front of it. She saw stars zipping past her as the shop flew extremely fast through space. At one point she was informed that they were passing the Andromeda galaxy. Tina does not have much knowledge of space so was unaware at the time that this was a real galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy: Soon after this the ship began to speed up even more and perform corkscrew manoeuvres rolling over and over. Tina was informed that this was required to prevent the craft from breaking up due to its size and the speed it was now travelling at. As she witnessed the journey of the craft, the information download she had received began again, exactly the same as before. The craft shot forwards extremely fast, with stars flying past in the blink of an eye. Its course through space was mostly straight, but at one point it diverted. Tina wondered what this diversion was for. In response to her thought, the Grey informed her that there was “black space” at this location and that they could not pass through it. After continuing on its path the craft began to slow down. They had arrived close to the destination. In the distance Tina could see a large black-coloured planet. Rather than being completely spherical it appeared sliced off at the top, perhaps suggesting it had been damaged from an asteroid strike at some point. There was light coming from beyond it which allowed her to see its shape against the blackness of space. Around it were four or five smaller moons, one of which was moss green in colour and emitting a dim light. The craft approached the main planet and orbited it several times on a descending arc. Drawing of the destination planet and surrounding moons: She was informed that this is where the babies were being taken to, and that it would take us thirty million years to reach this location if we were to attempt it using our current technology. Tina wondered how the babies would survive this journey, but was informed that the white light kept them in a state of suspended animation so do not age while aboard the craft. She was also told that there were only several beings on board, and when they approach the destination they would start a process to revive the embryos so they could begin to develop further. Tina then began to witness the return journey of the craft to Earth. It began travelling at an incredible speed and everything around her became blurry. She was informed that the craft was on a pre-programmed course, and so had to make the journey at a particular time so as not to collide with anything else on route. This was the last thing that Tina recalled. When she awoke it was early morning and the sun was up outside. She still had the numbers and symbols she had seen in her mind, but almost immediately her memory of them was beginning to fade. She quickly grabbed some paper and began to write down those that she could remember. In her mind was an eight digit number. She knew that this was in some way related to the planet Jupiter. She also recalled a number of four digit numbers and one of the symbols she had seen. Tina claims that when she entered the eight digit number followed by Jupiter into Google on her laptop soon after waking up she was amazed to see that it represented the mass of the planet. She is unclear as to whether she wrote this eight digit number down prior to entering it into Google. If she did, it is not with her other notes and it is possible that a page of her notes may have been lost. When I spoke with Tina she could not recollect what this eight digit number was. According to Google the mass of Jupiter is 1.898 x 1027–kg. If the number 18981027 followed by the word Jupiter is entered into Google a page referring to this comes up: We can therefore assume that this is likely to be the number which Tina must recollected when she awoke, but without written notes it is impossible to confirm this. If this was the number then this would be quite impressive, because it is far too obscure to have been something Tina would have picked up from elsewhere. As already mentioned she does not have an interest in astronomy. While we do not have the notes referring to the eight digit number, Tina did manage to locate notes referring to numerous four digit numbers. However I have not been able to find any connections between Jupiter and these numbers, or any other possible meaning behind them: Sadly Tina could only recall one of the symbols she had seen, but knew that the one she did remember represented the number 17: She is unclear as to why some of the numbers came through in digits whereas others came through as symbols. However there are many other cases on records where contactees have received similar downloads of information. In most of these cases, the individual is not informed of what this information means or why they have been given it. (Continued in Part 3) Copyright Dave Hodrien 2018

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 05/05/2018 Note: For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms hav been used for some witnesses and certain location names have been omitted Introduction Since beginning investigation into UFOs and the contact phenomenon back in 2008 I have looked into many contact cases from around the world. While some of these cases cover only one or two experiences, others have been much larger and covered experiences that have taken place throughout the individual’s life over many years. This is one such case. I was first contacted by Tina by phone back in February 2017. She informed me that she had had a number of unusual experiences, but she had kept them to herself for many years. This was down to the sensitivity of her job as a child behaviour modification clinical practitioner, and due to the fact that she did not want to frighten or concern other family members. However more recently her partner, Richard, had begun to suffer from ill health which she believed may be related to these experiences, and so she needed to tell someone and ask for advice. The experiences Tina has had have gone on since her childhood. Many of them have physical aspects which cannot be easily dismissed – aspects which have included significant body markings, possible implants, periods of missing time and confirmation from other witnesses and doctors. They are truly fascinating, and if they have actually occurred, as they appear to, their implications are massive. Over many months of lengthy phone calls, messenger discussions and two face-to-face meetings, I have slowly gone over everything which has taken place to date and created this report. Tina has been extremely open in discussing her experiences, and has provided more photographic evidence, medical records, written notes and drawings than any other witness I have ever spoken with. The Face in the Light Tina was born in 1971. In the early years of her life she lived with her parents Leslie and Christine, and three brothers Keith, Norman and Gordon, on Knighton Road in Sholing, Southampton. The first unusual experience she can remember occurred when she was 7 years old. Aerial map of Knighton Road: It was early in the winter of 1977 (probably November). She recalls something waking her up in the middle of the night. She had no idea why she awoke but something did not feel right. She did not have a clock in her room at the time so did not know the exact time, but it was very dark outside and her family were all fast asleep in their rooms. It was dark in the room but Tina would always leave her door open, and the landing light was on. She felt wide awake, and for an unknown reason got up out of bed, walked out onto the landing, took a few steps along it and then stopped. She remained there for about 20 seconds. Then suddenly a beam of white light shot down from the ceiling in front of the cupboard further down the landing. It was about 6-7 feet away from her. She felt frightened and stood staring at it rooted to the spot. Overhead map of the upstairs of the house showing the position of the beam of light: After a few seconds a huge face appeared in the beam of light. It was about a foot off the floor and around five feet in height. It was not solid but appeared to be made up of light the same as the beam. The face was human, and that of an elderly man with curled hair and a thick beard. It reminded her of an old Greek man like Socrates, and also like Santa Claus. A moment later the beam and the face rushed towards her without warning. Before she could react she blacked out. Drawing of the face in the beam: Photograph of the landing with an overlaid drawing of the beam and face: The next thing Tina became aware of, she was waking up in the morning back in her bed. She immediately recalled what had happened during the night, and it concerned her greatly. It had seemed far more real than just a dream. She did not tell anyone what had happened, but for several nights she insisted on sleeping in her parent’s room as she was too frightened to sleep in her own. After this she calmed down but would still leave the light of her room on at night. I have dealt with other similar cases where large glowing human faces have been witnessed. Tina is convinced that this incident took place and was not a nightmare. As with many of her later experiences, she felt fully awake at the time and remembered it in full detail in the morning. It is possible that the face was a screen memory masking its true appearance. There have been many cases where this has been reported, and it is particularly common during childhood years. It is even possible that the being was taking on the form of Santa Claus. Another possibility is that it was in its true form but was a humanoid ET rather than human. Tina has never seen the face again or discovered its true identity. Drilling Teeth In May 1978, about six months after witnessing the glowing face, Tina woke up one morning to find blood in her mouth and on her pillow. There was no sensation of pain, and when she checked she could find no source of the blood. She told her father about it and he checked her teeth to see if any were wobbly. In the end he assumed she must have bitten her tongue in her sleep, although no injury could be observed. Tina washed her mouth out and soon the incident was forgotten about. However in late August towards the end of her school summer holidays, it occurred again. This time her mouth felt dry, and it felt to her like her upper teeth had been drilled. Her father was concerned and took her to the dentist for a check-up. They could find nothing visibly wrong with her teeth. From then onwards she began to experience the same thing roughly three times a year. As the years went by the sensations of drilling became even stronger, and after a while it would feel like her teeth had actually crumbled into pieces and been glued back together. There was no noticeable pattern regarding when it would occur. From age 25 it began to happen less frequently, roughly once a year. And at around age 36 it ceased completely. To this date it has not occurred again. Despite the fact it occurred for many years, Tina never went back to the dentist to enquire about it. Figure at the Window It is not just Tina who has had unusual experiences. In the summer of 1978, an incident involving one of her brothers took place. It was a very warm night and everyone had gone off to bed like normal. Tina recalls waking up during the night to hear her brother Norman screaming hysterically. He had ran through to his parent’s room and was extremely upset. Everyone in the house rushed into the room to see what the matter was. Norman explained that he had been lying in bed awake. His two brothers who he shared the room with were fast asleep. Due to the heat both the curtains and window had been left open. Norman heard someone calling for help from outside. He got up and looked out of the window to see what was happening. When he did he was shocked to see that it was daylight outside and he was looking at a completely different location covered in grass and rocks. Suddenly it was like he could see very far away into the distance. He saw a man and woman who looked like they were in their 40s, and a child around 8-10 years old. The people were running and the adults were shouting out “We’ve got it! We’ve got it!” They appeared to be holding some kind of device. The people were being chased by three very tall humanoid beings. These beings were about 28 feet in height. They had long thin stilt-like legs but shorter arms. They were unclothed and had withered wrinkled skin. Norman’s drawing of the tall creature and the humans: The people suddenly became aware that Norman could see them and stopped running. A fourth tall being appeared in the distance and then came running towards the window screaming. It reached it and bent down in order to look directly at Norman. Needless to say the sight of seeing such a thing filled him with terror and he had ran to his parents. Norman’s drawing of the tall being bending down to look in the window: Tina’s mother and father questioned Norman about what he had seen. At the time they assumed it must have been a nightmare and got everyone settled back down. After that Norman did not want to sleep near the window of the room, and his parents moved the position of the beds. Even though he is now a grown man, the experience still haunts him. However this is not the end of the story. In 2002 there was a knock on the door. When her mother answered it, standing on the doorstep was Cynthia, the daughter of their neighbour. She looked really frightened was visibly trembling. She asked Christine for a cigarette. Christine asked her what the matter was, to which she exclaimed “You’re never going to believe what I’ve just seen!” She went to on explain that she had pulled back the curtains and outside the window had seen an extremely tall figure peering in. She was so scared that she did not want to go back into the house for a good while after. Up until this point Christine had not really believed that there was any truth to what Norman said he had seen, but this really shocked her and she wondered if Norman had seen something after all. Due to the bizarre details of this experience it could be easy to dismiss it as a vivid childhood nightmare. But it is interesting that it has left such a lasting impression on Norman. And it is also interesting that something spookily similar was reported to the family years later by a separate witness. Hole in Leg One night early in the summer of 1982 10-11, Tina had a dream that she was flying high up in the sky through the clouds. Without warning she woke up with a start. Despite having gone to sleep in her own bed, she now found herself downstairs on the sofa alongside Christine who had dropped off there. She felt uneasy so got up to head back upstairs. When she did so she noticed blood and pus running down her lower right leg onto her foot. She went through to the bathroom and put the light on to get a better look. When she checked, she found a rounded hole several mm across which had blood and pus seeping out of it. The skin and flesh underneath was completely missing. Leslie also awoke, probably disturbed by the light from the bathroom or noise Tina was making. When he saw the injury he asked her what she’d done to herself. When she told him that she did not know how it had occurred he went into her room and checked all over the bed to see if there was anything which could have caused it. He found absolutely nothing. The injury did not seem to hurt at all. Leslie put antiseptic on the wound and then Tina went back to bed as it was the middle of the night. The injury healed up after several days, however it left a lasting scar on her leg which can still be made out today. Scar on Tina’s leg ringed in black: Tina is adamant that the injury had occurred during the night at some point. She said that on the evening before she had a bath and would have definitely noticed it if it was there at that time. As you will see, this wasn’t to be the only time that Tina would discover this type of injury. Sleep Paralysis In 1987 when she was 17 years old her father sadly passed away. Roughly a week after she awoke in the night to find that she could not move. She was lying face down at the corner of the bed in an awkward position. Her head was hung over the edge of the mattress and her right hand was under the pillow. Her vision was blurred, she found it hard to breathe and she couldn’t swallow. She could see a light in the room and could sense the presence of something, but could not turn her head to look. She was frightened of the situation, and felt like she lay there for about 20 - 30 seconds. After this time she blacked out. When she came round it was morning time. Once she was out of bed she told her mother about what had happened. Her aunty came into the room and told her that she had had a similar experience years before. Tina put the incident down to stress due to losing her father. Even though there is some crossover between contact and sleep paralysis, this experience sounds more like the later sounds like the later, and may not be linked with her contact experiences. Sleep paralysis is more likely to occur during periods of stress. And much of what she describes are common aspects of the condition. Another Leg Injury Around April in either 1988 or 1989 Tina had a very similar experience to what had happened to her in the summer of 1982. She was now living in a house on Porchester Road with her boyfriend Lee. Aerial map of Porchester Road: Like the first time, the experience began with a dream about flying through the clouds. And just as before she felt like she had been thrown back down onto the bed when she awoke. The situation was immediately familiar to her and she felt very uneasy. She got up to put the bedroom light on and looking down immediately noticed blood running down her right leg. Once again there was a small hole visible. This time there was no pus coming from it only blood. It was about 2 inches above the scar of the original injury. Due to the movement, Lee also woke up. When he saw the blood he asked her what she had done to herself. Despite knowing this had happened before she did not tell him about the first incident. She felt that he might think she was crazy. She just informed him she did not know what had happened. She washed her leg and then got back into bed. Like before, the injury healed up quite fast but left a lasting scar. Photograph with both scars marked, showing their proximity to one another: It is fascinating that Tina had two very similar experiences years apart from one another. If the markings were natural then it seems a very odd coincidence that she would have been having extremely similar dreams prior to their appearance. In both instances the wounds were clearly fresh and had not been caused during the previous day as Tina would have noticed the blood. And in both cases there was nothing on or near to her bed which could have accounted for them. Could the dreams of flying have been her brain’s way of telling her that she had been taken up into a craft? Were these markings from abduction experiences? Body markings can occur during contact, and although they usually fade and vanish completely, sometimes they can leave scars. These are far from the only unexplained injuries that Tina has endured over the years. Missing Time In the spring of 1989 an incident occurred where Tina missed not minutes, not hours, but a number of days! She had now moved to a bedsit elsewhere on Porchester Road. At the time she worked at a dry cleaners in Bitterne, which was roughly 25 minutes’ walk away. One Tuesday evening she came home from work feeling quite tired. She entered the bedroom and bolted the door from the inside. Then she took her shoes off and lay down on the bed in her uniform. She was woken by her boyfriend heavily banging on the bedroom door. She felt a little dazed and drained of energy. Lee had a key to the bedsit, and she initially assumed that a couple of hours had gone by and that he had brought round some Chinese food for her. She opened the door and let him into the room. He immediately exclaimed “What the hell’s going on? I’ve had your company on the phone, you’ve not turned up for work!” Confused by his outburst Tina asked “I’ve just come home from work, what do you mean?” Lee responded “That was four days ago! You’ve lost your job, you’ve not phoned in sick!” Tina was understandably shocked by this revelation. She checked the clock and found that the time was now 10am. But with no indication of the date at first she thought that he must be playing around. However as she continued to talk with him it began to sink in that he wasn’t joking, and that four days really had gone by. Early in the afternoon she rang her workplace. The assistant manager picked up and informed her that they’d been phoning the house. After two days had gone by and she still did not get in touch they had decided to fire her. They had also contacted her mother which is how her boyfriend had found out about what was going on. Her mother did not head over to the flat to see if she was there because at the time they were not speaking much due to an argument. Lee stayed with her a couple of days. Tina wondered how she had managed to sleep for such a long period of time without hearing any of the phone calls to the house. However she did not speak with her doctor about what had happened. Within days Tina collapsed and found she could not walk. She was taken to Royal South Hants Hospital, where she was kept for about three weeks. They seemed very concerned, and performed various examinations. Eventually they informed her that she had a kidney stone which had caused internal scarring. She had to go for ultrasound to break the kidney stone up before she was discharged from hospital. This is certainly a bizarre incident, as it is of course very unusual indeed to sleep for days without any notable reason or long-term after effects. There is the possibility that the incident is medical-related, due to the fact that soon afterwards Tina was admitted to hospital to have a kidney stone removed. However these do not usually cause extreme tiredness - they tend to cause pain, which would have been more likely to stop Tina from going to sleep, or wake her from her sleep if she did drop off. Periods of missing time are very commonly reported with contact experiences. Could Tina have been abducted for a number of days? If so she has no current recollection of this at all. However this could explain why she did not hear the phone ringing on multiple occasions. Abductions of this length have taken place before, such as the infamous five day abduction of Travis Walton. While it may seem unlikely that this is what took place, it cannot be entirely ruled out. Hooded Figure By 1997 Tina was living on her own in a third floor flat on Burgoyne Road, Thorn Hill. One evening she went to bed as normal about 10.30pm. Usually she would sleep deeply until morning, but during the night something unexpectedly woke her. Her senses felt alerted and she sat up in bed. The room had a huge panoramic window along one edge. The curtains were mostly drawn, but open enough to let some light into the room from the adjacent flat. Aerial map of Burgoyne Road: The bedroom door was to the left side of the bed and closed. Suddenly a huge figure entered the room stepping through the closed door. It appeared to be fully solid and was wearing a black coloured hooded cloak that covered its face. The door was about 7 feet in height and it appeared at least a foot taller than that. The cloak it was wearing looked like it was made out of a satin-like material. Tina immediately thought to herself “What the fuck is that?” Drawing of the cloaked figure: The figure then moved about 7 feet into the room around the left side of the bed. It appeared to walk rather than float, although its legs were hidden inside the cloak which went down to the floor. As she watched, it then began to turn towards her. At this moment she blacked out. Witness drawing showing the layout of the bedroom and movement path of the figure: When she came round she was lying flat on the bed and the figure was nowhere to be seen. Tina was extremely scared by what had just taken place. She reached out and put the bedside light on. She then got out of bed and began exploring the flat one room at a time putting all the lights on, half convinced that it was still going to be there. She did not check the clock to see what time of night it was but she feels that it must have been the early hours of the morning. After fully exploring each room Tina was satisfied that the being was no longer present. She stood still for several minutes before making herself a cup of tea. She cannot remember if she then went back to bed or just stayed awake until morning. She felt un-nerved by the experience for weeks afterwards and found it hard to get to sleep. While dark hooded figures are sometimes observed during sleep paralysis experiences, it should be noted that Tina was not paralysed at this time as she was able to sit up in bed before its arrival. This suggests that the being had a more paranormal explanation. It could potentially have been an ET, or there is the possibility it was a ghostly apparition of some kind. Numerous contactees have reported seeing shadowy manifestations around their homes, commonly referred to as “shadow people”. Could this have been what Tina encountered? Implant Extraction By 1999 Tina was now living with her second husband Gavin who had moved in with her at the flat. One Thursday night she dreamed of a dull white glowing light and what Tina describes as a “grey fog in her mind”. Despite not consciously experiencing this before in her life, it felt familiar to her. She would later come to learn that this sensation would precede telepathic communication with beings, and refers to it as “the link”. However she was unaware of any direct communication at this time. The following morning when sat up she felt a sharp stinging sensation in her right buttock. It felt almost like she had been stung by a bee. She asked Gavin to check the location. He confirmed that there was no marks or signs of soreness. She tried pushing on the point of pain and could feel something small under the surface of the skin. Gavin confirmed the presence of the lump. He recommended that she went to her GP about it. However the pain began to get more intense. Whatever it was, Tina wanted it out of her as soon as possible. She asked Gavin to use some toenail clippers to cut her skin and then use a pair of tweezers to attempt to take it out. He initially refused her request, but in the end agreed to it. He managed to make a small incision and then used the tweezers to take the object out. When he did so the pain immediately went away. They were shocked to find that the object looked like a small silver ball-bearing about the size of a match head. It was covered in a black and grey web-like membrane but was clearly metallic. Drawing of the object held by the tweezers: Gavin was able to cut through the outer membrane with the nail clippers, but when he attempted to cut into the silver ball it bent them until they snapped! There was no sign of how the object got there. Unfortunately Tina did not keep the object and simply threw it away. Drawing showing an enlarged view of the object: A few months later she was in the shower with Gavin. He suddenly exclaimed “What have you done to yourself?” Tina asked him what he was on about. He informed her that there were two rounded scar marks on her buttock, one either side of where the object had been extracted. These did not seem to hurt at all. Tina wondered if they were in some way related to what had occurred. The object removed from Tina could well have been an implant that had been placed inside her during an abduction experience during the night or on a previous occasion, and for whatever reason it had started to hurt. The lack of any noticeable skin trauma, the description of the object and the fact it was covered in a membrane all point towards this possibility. There are many cases on record where very similar looking objects have been detected and then extracted. The membranous outer covering has been reported before. There are numerous theories regarding the reason for this. Some feel that it may prevent the body from rejecting the implant. Others have proposed that it allows it to connect directly with the nervous system of the individual for monitoring purposes. It is a shame that Tina threw the object away but at this stage of her life she had not started looking into contact so did not realise what it could have been. Flying Dreams In 2001 Tina began to have dreams of flying more regularly than before. These dreams seemed very vivid, like they were actually taking place. She would tend to get a number several days in a row then they would cease for a period of weeks before returning. They would begin with white light all around her in which she would be floating up and down. She would then see a flash of bright light and would suddenly be high up in the atmosphere with clouds around her. Sometimes it would be daylight, other times after dark. Most of the time she would just be observing rather than controlling her movement. But as the dreams became more regular she would attempt to fly to specific places. By thinking about where she wanted to go to she would immediately fly towards it. Sometimes the dreams seemed only a couple of minutes long, other times they would last for hours. While travelling she would sometimes see landmarks of places she recognised. At the end of the experience it would sometimes just end, other times she would get lower and lower in altitude until she was about to hit the ground. Tina still gets these dreams, roughly once every couple of months. Of course many people have dreams about flying. However this is something which is regularly reported by contactees. And as you will see these dreams hav sometimes coincided with contact experiences. It is possible that it is the brains way of recollecting being taken up into the sky. It cannot be proved that this is the cause, but it is still worth noting. Grey Examination In late 2002 Tina experienced several days of flying dreams. On the fourth night she and her husband went to sleep at 10pm. Other than the weather being particularly warm for the time of year it was a normal evening. During night she recalls being surrounded by bright glowing white light and the sensation of flying upward. The next thing she became aware of was of lying down on a flat bench. The white light was still all around her. She found that she could not move her body at all, she was only able to move her eyes and look around. Due to the brightness of the light she could not see the size or shape of the location she was in. About 10-20 seconds later she seemed to black out for a second. When she came round from this she found that she was now lying down on a different bench, larger than the last. It was also tilted up at 45 degrees. The light was less glaring and she could see clearer now. She was in a dome-shaped room with glowing white walls that had no visible markings or seams. About 10 feet above her was a white light with an indeterminable source. This light was reflecting off the surface of the bench she was on. The bench appeared to be made of metal, but despite this it did not feel cold to the touch. Somehow these surroundings felt familiar to her. She felt like she may have been there on previous occasions. Drawing of the dome-shaped room: Tina then felt “the link” begin – the same sensation in her mind that she had felt during the night before the discovery of the implant. She then briefly saw the side of a being lean round into her vision from the right. The being had white-coloured smooth skin which reminded her of marshmallow, and black eyes which were shaped like an apple pip, rounded at one end, pointed at the other. Its nose was not very pronounced and it had a thin slit for a mouth. Within a moment it had leaned back out of sight. The being was of course a Grey, although Tina had not looked into contact at this point so did not recognise it as such. She did not know it at the time, but she would come to establish a deep connection with this particular being. She senses a male presence from this being, and refers to him as "the one who knows me" as she has never been given a name. Drawing of the side perspective of the Grey: Next an orange light split into rectangular sections appeared over her legs. It was quite hot and her legs warmed up immediately. When she saw this it immediately triggered a flashback to a childhood abduction experience where the same procedure had been done to her. She recalled being about 7 years old and seeing the same pattern of light over her legs. Drawing of the light over Tina’s legs: She lay there for what seemed like two to three minutes in a paralysed state. Her eyes were drawn down to the section of light just above her kneecaps. It appeared that the skin was shrivelling up like it was being exposed to extreme heat. However there was no pain or reddening of the skin, and no detectable smell. She isn’t sure whether at this moment the beings became aware that she was conscious of what was going on, but she suddenly felt her mind cloud over with the grey mist and that was the last thing she recollected. The next thing she became aware of was of waking up in the morning. She immediately recalled what she had just experienced, it felt extremely real and like it had just taken place. She checked the clock and found it was about 7.30am. Like usual her husband had already got up and left for work. When she checked in the mirror she noted that her face had more pigment in it than usual. Usually she would look quite pale, but this morning her skin was more flushed. Other than this she felt completely normal and there was no sign of any damage on her right leg. She decided to keep the experience to herself and did not tell her family what had happened. The Conveyor Belt A couple of nights later, Tina had another very detailed experience. She came round to find herself hanging in mid-air in a standing position. Once again she was paralysed and could not look around, but it felt like she was attached to something via her upper back. She was not aware of whether she was in her night clothes or not as she couldn’t look down. Positioned in front of her was a large and extremely bright light. Due to its brightness it was initially hard to see much else. Suddenly she was smoothly moved to her left, which moved her out of the glaring light. She was now able to focus and see what lay in front of her. The first thing she saw was the source of the glaring white light. It appeared to be a large circular spotlight about 10 feet across, with a black square box at the centre of it. It was positioned about 10-15 feet off the floor and about 15 feet away from her position. The spotlight appeared to be attached to the front of a large structure made up of several platforms. It was hard to see the colour of these due to the brightness of the spotlight. Positioned around it were several small Greys. They were all holding flattened objects in their hands that looked like oval-shaped dinner plates. She then moved again and rotated slightly to the left. This gave her a clearer view of what she was attached to. There were a line of people ahead of her. They were all attached by the shoulders to some kind of black conveyor belt by what appeared to be a metallic pole that came down to the middle of his shoulder blades. At the end of the pole it split into two and these each went under each arm. All the people were clothed in normal daytime clothing. They appeared to all be adults between 30 to 40, and were a mix of men and women. Everyone had their eyes open but appeared to be in a trance-like state. It was only her who appeared to be aware of what was happening. The person hanging ahead of her in the line just a few feet in front of her was a man with short brown coloured hair wearing a silvery grey suit. She could not see his facial features as he was facing away from her positioned at the same angle that she was. Drawing of the conveyor belt, and the structure with the spotlight and Greys: It was now darker as she was further away from the spotlight. In front and below her was some kind of control area. Due to the lack of light it was hard to see the colour of the floor, but she was able to make out numerous metallic panels positioned around the area. There may have been controls or other electronics on them, but as they were facing away from her she could not confirm this. The area was split into two main sections with a clear walkway down the middle. There were about fifteen Greys visible, positioned at varying distances from her and working in groups of two or three. They appeared to be performing different tasks and some appeared to be looking at the panels. The closest group of three were roughly 10 feet away. All of the beings were unclothed. Two of them were white in colour, had very smooth skin and were about 3 feet in height. They had a slight curve to their belly, and reminded Tina of jelly babies. The third Grey looked different. It about 4 to 4.5 feet tall and had glowing white skin. In the middle of the control area was a Grey which looked darker in skin tone than the others around it. It had a flat oval-shaped object in its hand about a foot wide. The being was touching this object with its other hand and looking down at it. There were flickering lights/buttons on the object, Tina could see the light reflecting off the being’s skin. Right at the back of the area was a raised walkway. On this walkway semi-hidden in shadow were two identical looking Greys standing alongside one another. These ones looked quite different from the others visible in the room. They were about 3 feet tall and had very slender bodies with bulbous heads. Their skin was much more wrinkled with visible protruding blue veins on the side of their belly and head. Their eyes looked rounder than the other beings. They stood silently without moving. Tina got the impression that they were extremely old. Drawing showing the front and side profile of one of the elder Greys: Tina felt a telepathic link begin with the taller Grey closest to her. When I asked Tina to explain how she knew this she said “They can hear you listening to them. It’s like they can see everything you are and all the information in your head.” She sensed a male presence from the being, despite the fact that it had no visible sex. She could hear him issuing instructions to the two shorter ones. Suddenly she sensed he had become aware she was awake and had connected with them. He stopped speaking to the other Greys began to observe her, perhaps wondering what she was going to do. The shorter beings looked at the taller one seemingly puzzled as to what was taking place. The other beings in the room were all now aware of her. Drawing of one of the shorter Greys and the taller one: The dark-skinned Grey in the middle of the area looked up from the oval object it was holding. Tina sensed that he was angry with her. She then heard the tall Grey speaking with him. He said that she was “from an old line” and so had the ability to connect with them telepathically. However this did not seem to calm the dark-skinned Grey. Without warning he charged towards her! As he reached her he leapt up into the air extremely high and touched the top of her head with either one of his fingers or a stick-like object. Drawing of the control area showing the positions of the various Greys: Immediately everything went black. She then saw the image of a huge spider. The situation she had been in dissolved away to blackness. What seemed like a couple of seconds went by and she leapt up, finding herself back in her bed. She was extremely frightened by what had just happened. The vision of the spider was still there for a few seconds before she got her bearings and realised where she now was. Drawing of the spider Tina saw in her mind: In the months following this experience Tina would occasionally feel a tingling sensation in her head which eventually went away. She believed this was linked with what the darker-skinned Grey had done to her. This highly unusual experience has many strange aspects to it. It could easily be interpreted as a vivid and strange nightmare. However much of it fits in with Tina’s other contact experiences – the beings she saw, the telepathic connection, the way they were interacting with one another. If we assume that it was a real experience, then what could have been taking place? It appeared to be a human production line of some kind. Was something was being done to each of the people attached to the conveyor belt? Why was the spotlight shined on them? What were the beings in the control room area doing? It appears that Tina was not supposed to have been awake during this experience. This would explain the reaction of the Grey in the control room. The vision of the spider which the being placed in her mind could have something horrifying to cause her to forget what was taking place. Or perhaps it was just punishment for the fact that she had seen something she was not supposed to see. Tina informed me that earlier in her life she had a fear of spiders, so perhaps this was the reason why this particular vision was chosen. (Continued in Part 2) Copyright Dave Hodrien 2018

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 18/02/2018 On 17th February 2018 I was interviewed by Unite Planet Youtube channel. During the interview, one of the interviewers, Paul Northridge, informed me he and his family had witnessed a UFO back in 2009. The following day I got in touch to go over the experience in more depth. Sighting Details On the evening of 20th June 2009, Paul and his wife Yulia went to see a production of the musical Les Miserables at Morley Smithey which their daughter Anya starred in. After the show they drove back to their home in Chaddesden, Derby. Paul drove, Yulia was in the passenger seat, and Anya sat behind him on the back seat. It was about 10.30pm and a clear, still evening. There was only light cloud in the sky and the sun had fully set. They were heading South along Lime Lane and passing farmer’s fields leading up to the crossroads with Derby Road. There were quite a few other vehicles on the road. Aerial map of Lime Lane: Anya was looking out of the right side window when noticed a light in the sky ahead of them to the South West of their location. She exclaimed “There’s a light there, I can’t tell what it is.” Due to the amount of traffic Paul was too busy keeping an eye on the road to look. Yulia attempted to see the object but could not due to the angle it was in the sky. Paul decided not to pull over and they continued their journey home. Photograph from Lime Lane in the direction the light was seen: They reached the road they live on, Wilson Road in Chaddersden. As they pulled up outside the house, Anya informed them that she could still see the light. They all got out of the car. It became immediately obvious what she was looking at. To the North East of them in the sky visible over the roofs of the houses was a glowing orb of light. It was moving slowly in an Eastward direction at a steady pace. It appeared to be within a mile of their location. The predominant colour of the orb was orange, but when he looked at it Paul could see it fading between other colours including yellow, blue, red and white. Aerial map of Wilson Road: Photograph of the sighting location: The family stood watching it in silence for about a minute. Then suddenly without warning it shot upwards at a very steep angle. The acceleration was instantaneous and the object vanished from sight in only a brief moment! All three witnesses were amazed at what they had just seen. They were convinced it could not have been a helicopter or Chinese lantern due to how fast it had ascended. They entered their home and then proceeded to discuss the object for the next hour. Several days later Paul was still thinking about what they had seen. He decided to E-Mail Derby BBC news to ask if anyone else had reported seeing the object. He also logged the sighting with the UK UFO Sightings website. Sighting Analysis There are a number of aspects of this incident that make it very interesting. Firstly is the fact that the object was seemingly observed twice. It was first spotted by Anya on Lime Lane, and was still in sight when they arrived home on Wilson Road. The distance between these locations is roughly 3.5 km, significant enough to conclude that the object must have been travelling in a similar direction to them. This could may even suggest that the object was specifically following them, although this would just be speculation. Aerial map showing where the object was first sighted (A) and where it was observed by all three witnesses (B): Another possibility is that the object Anya had seen initially was a different object to what was observed at Wilson Road. However this possibility seems unlikely, Anya certainly believed it was the same object. Amber orange orbs of light often turn out to be Chinese lanterns, however Paul is familiar with what these look like and was convinced it was not one of these. Firstly he saw the object fading between different colours. Although white points of light can sometimes seem to flash other colours after dark, lanterns tend to remain orange and flicker or change in brightness. And as pointed out, the manoeuvre the object performed when it suddenly left the area means it could not have been a lantern – lanterns tend to drift slowly across the sky. Even if it had got caught in a sudden gust of wind (not forgetting of course that it was a still evening), it would not have travelled far and would still have been visible. The object certainly appeared to be under powered flight. If it was not a lantern, what could it have been? Most other mundane explanations can also be disregarded due to the movement observed. And while drones are capable of performing sudden darting manoeuvres, they were not readily available back in 2009. I feel that taking everything into consideration, there is the possibility that what was observed was an advanced self-illuminated craft of some kind which possessed advanced propulsion capabilities.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Last Updated: 18/01/2018 Sighting Details At 7.12am on the morning of 25th November 2017, Paul Crowther and his partner Avril were sitting on the bed chatting and having a morning cup of tea. Paul was sitting facing the bedroom window and the curtains had already been opened. The window overlooks Burnside Park. It was a frosty and dry morning with a completely clear sky. Due to the time of year the sun was only just starting to come up. Aerial map of Burnside: Suddenly from the East, a glowing orb of light with a greenish tint to it came into view through the window. It was quite bright and immediately drew Paul’s attention. The object appeared to be about 1000 feet high and roughly 300 feet from their location. There were no visible markings on the object and no trail behind it. Witness drawing of the orb: The object was moving very quickly, faster than an aeroplane would fly at. It was on a gradual descending trajectory heading to the West. It flew behind the trees visible on the far side of the park. It was still in sight over the roofs of the housing when it suddenly seemed to change course to a South Westerly direction and then vanished. Either the light on it had gone out, or it had disappeared into the distance to the South West. Photograph of the sighting location with drawing of the movement path added by the witness: The object had been visible for no more than 5 seconds Due to the brief length of the sighting Paul did not have a chance to grab a camera and film the object. Nor did he have time to alert Avril to the presence of the object, so she did not witness it. Sighting Analysis This is an intriguing sighting, but one which some may easily dismiss as a meteorite. These sometimes have a green glow to them as they burn up in the atmosphere. The object that Paul saw was moving very fast on a straight and slightly descending path. And indeed a meteorite was reported at this date and time by numerous other witnesses across the UK (Click here for a Mirror article about the incident) However there are a number of aspects of this sighting which do not fit with this explanation. Firstly Paul did not see a trail of any kind. Meteorites usually have a visible trail behind them as they move across the sky, and witnesses of the meteorite which did fall at the time mention seeing "bits flying off behind it". They also describe hearing a "loud whooshing sound", yet Paul informed me the object made no noise at all. Also, and perhaps most importantly, he saw the object change course just before it vanished from sight. A meteorite would not change its angle of travel in this manner. When I asked Paul about his thoughts on this he said the following: “I honestly do not feel it was a meteorite. There was something about the way it moved, and the photo I sent may not have done the actual movement the justice it deserves. Just before it disappeared toward the South West, there was a slight dip in its movement, at an angle, and then it disappeared. Also, there was without a shadow of a doubt, no tail visible. It was the absence of a tail that got my curiosity going. It's difficult to explain but I just feel that this was something other than a meteorite.” If the object was not a meteorite, then what else could it have been? It was moving too quickly to have been a distant aircraft or helicopter and the appearance does not really fit with this. Also Paul says that they often have a police helicopter and air ambulance fly past their house and it is possible to hear the sound of the rotor blades. The UFO appeared to be silent. It was also much too fast to have been a glowing LED balloon caught on an air current. It therefore remains unidentified, and the idea that it was potentially an advanced craft of some kind cannot be completely ruled out. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2018

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 12/12/2017 Sighting Details On the evening of 28th November 2017 James was relaxing in the bedroom of his family’s house on St Columbus Drive, Rednal, Birmingham. His parents had gone out for a meal so he was the only one in the house at the time. Aerial map of St Columbus Drive: At around 9.35pm he happened to glance out of the window. It was a clear evening with only light cloud and the stars visible in the sky. In the distance to the North East he saw a glowing orange orb of light. It was hovering completely motionless quite low in the sky at an angle of about 15 degrees from his position. It was hard to judge how far it was away, but appeared to be a large object quite far away rather than something small and closer. Due to the fact the object was not moving James soon realised it was not an aeroplane. It was not a star as it was an amber orange rather than bright white. It did not look like a helicopter as no other lights were visible on it either flashing or static. James became interested in what the object could be so began to watch it from his window. He did not have his phone on him to take any photographs or video, it was on the other side of the room. He was initially more concerned with just observing it. However after about 20 minutes he decided he would quickly grab his phone to try and record the object. It took a matter of seconds to cross the room, but when he returned to the window he immediately realised the object was now moving. It was travelling much faster than a plane would cross the sky at, and heading on a level course to the East. Within a matter of 5 seconds it was out of sight before he had a chance to start filming it. Photograph witness took of the sighting location with the position of the UFO and direction of movement added: Sighing Analysis I agree with James’ assumption that the object was not an aircraft or star. A distant helicopter cannot entirely be ruled out, however the speed at which James saw it leave the area doesn’t seem to fit with this explanation. It is very unlikely to have been a Chinese lantern, as it hovered motionless for an extended duration. Also James confirmed that the light was not flickering or changing in brightness at all, something which lanterns tend to do. The time it was hovering for also makes it unlikely to have been a drone. These tend to have white or other coloured lights on them such as red or green. And if it was a drone it seems probable its owner would have flown it around the area rather than left it hovering in one spot for 20 minutes. It is interesting that the object only moved at the precise moment James went to get his camera. While this could just be a coincidence, it is an observation which is reported time and time again with UFO sightings. If it was an advanced craft of some kind could its occupants have been aware that they were about to be filmed and then left the area on purpose? This may seem improbable considering James was situated quite far away from the object, but cannot be entirely ruled out. Another sighting of an bright white glowing object occurred on the same night at roughly the same time over Stafford. It appears to have been a different object but it is interesting that it occured around the same time. This is covered in a seperate case report. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2017

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 12/12/2017 Sighting Details At around 9.30pm on the evening of 28th November 2017 Darren Westwood was standing outside in the back garden of his house on Turney Grove, Stafford, smoking a cigarette. It was a clear and still evening but quite cold due to the time of year. Aerial map of Turney Grove: For an unknown reason he suddenly had the urge to look diagonally up into the sky to the East. He saw a brightly glowing white light which he initially took for a very bright star. It was roughly the size of a pin head and had a slight shimmer around its edge. It seemed larger and brighter than other stars in the sky but thought nothing more of it. As he was about to turn away suddenly the “star” ascended vertically a short distance then suddenly massively increased in speed and silently shot away to the North West, at a speed much greater than a plane would travel at! Within 4-5 seconds it was out of sight into the distance towards Doxey / Seighford. Darren said he has “never encountered anything of this nature before.” It was impossible to judge exactly how far away from him the object had been situated when he initially spotted it. Aerial map showin the estimated flight path of the UFO: After the sighting was over he re-entered the house and informed his mother of what he had just seen. He then contacted his friend on messenger about the sighting also. Sighting Analysis The movement observed in this incident makes it a very impressive UFO sighting. The object was clearly not a drifting LED balloon or other lit inflatable, due to the speed it suddenly moved away at. The fact it was stationary at first, and also ascended vertically before shooting away means it cannot have been a satellite, meteorite or aircraft, and it appears to have been too fast to be a helicopter. Due to the brightness of the light and the distance the object covered in the sky a radio controlled drone also seems unlikely in this instance. The object clearly seems to have been giving off a very bright glow, and appears to have been under controlled flight. It is a very interesting sighting indeed, one possibly of a distant advanced craft. Another sighting of an orange glowing object occurred on the same night at roughly the same time over Rednal. While it appears to be unrelated, the timing similarities are worth noting. This incident is covered in a seperate case report. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2017

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 07/02/2017 Sighting Details At 12.35am early on the morning of 2nd January 2017, Nigel was outside his house on Cole Valley Road, Yardley Wood, Birmingham. It was a clear, still and dry night, with the stars and moon fully visible. Aerial map of Cole Valley Road: Looking to the South he noticed an object moving quickly in his direction. It appeared to be very large and tubular/cylindrical in shape. The main body of the object was quite hard to see due to the darkness. Along one side of it appeared to be between 6-8 square shaped panels or windows, which emitted a dull orange/reddish coloured glow. The panels were equally spaced out along the length of the object. It appeared to be flying at a height of 300-400 feet, about the same height a helicopter would fly at. Nigel estimates it was about the same size as a cruise liner aircraft. The UFO moved extremely fast on a straight and level course. Within seconds it had reached his location. It passed over the roof of his house, then turned to the left and headed off in the direction of Kings Norton to the West. It vanished into the distance within 10-15 seconds. Nigel was convinced he had witnessed something extremely unusual. Sighting Analysis When the witness first contacted me about the sighting via E-Mail, my initial thought was that it may have been a launch of multiple Chinese lanterns which were drifting on an air current in a straight line, giving the impression of a single larger object with glowing “windows”. However when I suggested this to Nigel he was adamant that it definitely wasn’t these. He has seen lanterns before and knows exactly what they look like. He says the panels/windows were exact squares and precisely level with one another. He was also able to see the main body of the object around them, it was clearly a single object rather than multiple. It was also travelling much too fast to be lanterns drifting across the sky. If it was not lanterns then what else could it have been? It was definitely not a normal aircraft as no wings, tail or navigation lights were visible. Solar airships are cylindrical in shape and usually black or dark coloured. However these only ascend during sunny daylight and the sighting took place in the middle of the night. Also they do not have glowing panels along them. The size and speed of the object also make it unlikely that it was a radio controlled model of some kind or a novelty LED balloon. With none of these possibilities sufficiently able to explain the sighting, we are left with the very real possibility that this was a genuine sighting of an advanced craft, one that appeared to be under intelligent control. The witness was quite surprised that nobody else had reported seeing it. If any further information does come to light, this report will be updated. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2017

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 02/07/2011 Last Updated: 11/11/2024 In June 2011 I was contacted by a gentleman who had recently witnessed a UFO from the back garden of his house. He asked his daughter to take a photograph of the object. This report covers the sighting in depth and also contains analysis of the photograph and my thoughts on it. Sighting Details It was 6.21 pm on the evening of 3rd June 2011. Richard Haller and his wife were lying down on the edge of his daughter’s trampoline in the back garden of their house on Miller Street, Droitwich. His daughter was next to them using the trampoline. It was a sunny evening and they were staring up at the clear blue sky. Suddenly Richard noticed an object at high altitude travelling slowly across the sky to his left in a Westerly direction. It appeared to be moving at quite a slow speed. To the naked eye it just looked like a grey coloured dot. It was hard to tell exactly how high the object was or its actual size, but it was at least 1000 feet up. Richard pointed out the object to his wife and daughter. He then asked his daughter to get her Lumix FZ38 camera. She returned with it to the garden and managed to take two photographs before the object moved out of sight behind a nearby tree. As it moved it seemed to change in brightness, which Richard assumes was down to sunlight reflecting off its surface. When they checked the photos on playback mode they could not see the object on one of the photos, but were pleased to see that they had captured it on the other. When they zoomed in on it they were quite shocked to see that it was a rounded triangular shape and did not resemble a conventional aircraft. It either had lights on it or was reflecting the sunlight. Later Richard scanned it into the computer to have a better look at what had been captured. In the following weeks they showed the photograph to various family members, who all agreed that it was certainly unidentified and should be investigated. Photographic Analysis Here is the original photograph with the UFO circled, in which the apparent high altitude of the object can be seen: On this zoomed view of the object the rough shape of it can be made out. It appears to be made up of three rounded segments in a roughly triangular shape. It appears to be either pinkish or white in colouration, although this could well be due to the sunlight reflecting off its surface: Different contrast views of the object (supplied by the witness): A closer zoom on the UFO: The same close zoom of the UFO with edge find: Metadata Analysis Metadata is lots of hidden information that exists behind photographic images and videos. As the witness provided the original photograph I have been able to analyse this data. When images or videos are manipulated utilising computer software some of this metadata changes. Some data values are created, others vanish, while others change position. While it is true that metadata can be modified, most people do not even realise it exists, let alone that it can be modified. Also there are some values which are extremely difficult to change back once altered. Therefore it can be examined to attempt to determine whether the image or video is genuine or not. The original photograph was taken on a Panasonic DMC-TZ25. I obtained a control image taken on the same camera make and model. I then edited this image intentionally using a PC paint program. I then compared the three images to look for similarities/differences in the metadata. The below screenshots show metadata comparisons between the control image (1st column), modified control image (2nd column) and UFO photograph (3rd column) with differences highlighted: As you can see, the metadata of the UFO photograph matches the control image not the modified control image. I therefore feel there is an extremely likely probability that it is a genuine image that has not been manipulated. Conclusions After assessing the case details and the photographic evidence I feel that the object seen was probably a clump of balloons drifting across the early evening sky. From the photograph it can be seen that the object appears to have various curves across its surface, and could well be a number of smaller curved objects crowded together. The object did not perform any manoeuvres which would indicate it was under intelligent control, and was not moving particularly fast so could easily have been drifting in an air current. The object looks very similar in appearance to the object(s) seen in the skies over Manhattan back in 2010. This incident was widely put down to a launch of balloons, and I see no reason why this case should be any different. Below is a photograph of the Manhattan UFO for comparison: I cannot say 100% that the object Richard's daughter photographed was a group of balloons. There is still the possibility that it was something more unusual, but I feel that balloons are the most likely explanation for what was witnessed. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2024

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 06/07/2011 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Since an early age Linda has had a fascination with both the UFO subject and with space. Throughout her life she has had a number of unusual experiences which she feels may well be ET related. In recent years these experiences have become more prevalent in her life and she feels that she could be a contactee. This report covers her experiences in depth. Lights In The Sky In 1997 when Linda was 8 years old she had a UFO sighting in Dorset. As it happened so long ago, she cannot remember all of the details of the incident, but remembers enough to know it was highly unusual. She was out with her mother Rachel and her partner Dan walking his pet dog in a local field. It was a dry evening and was getting dark. There was some cloud cover but Linda could still make out some of the stars. Suddenly Dan pointed something out to them both. They looked up and saw a number of glowing white lights in the sky. The lights were grouped close together in a rough triangular pattern, and appeared to be on a singular solid object which could not be made out due to the time of day. Witness drawing showing the positioning of the white lights: 📷 This object appeared to be at least as high as a light aircraft would fly at. It was quite close to their location, and was almost overhead. The movement of the lights were what was most intriguing of all. Every couple of seconds the top light would vanish. It would then reappear a bit further across the sky. Then the remaining lower 3 lights would swing in back underneath the top light until they were back in their initial location. This continued as the object moved slowly across the sky. Linda remembers watching this strange spectacle for a couple of minutes until it had moved out of sight. On the way back home she scanned the sky for it but did not see it again. Her mother never really mentioned the incident again, and has since left her boyfriend so I am unable to speak with him about it. Due to the unusual movement of the lights this is a very interesting sighting. If you consider the theory that it was a singular solid object then it would have had to have some kind of hinge, and certain parts of it would have been able to move forward in the air while other parts remain hovering stationary. This seems a very unlikely set up for any craft, ET or otherwise. I feel that it is more likely that each light was an independent object, and that there were in fact 4 UFOs which were interacting with one another in the unusual manner seen for some unknown reason. If this was the case then it certainly designates intelligence. It is also very unlikely that these objects would have been under military control as they would have no real purpose in moving them in this way. Many contactees report seeing UFOs, sometimes many times over. Perhaps these objects were in the area purposely to observe Linda. Or are they nothing to do with her later experiences, and she was just in the right place at the right time to see them? Unexplained Sound When Linda was about 15 years old, she remembers another strange experience taking place. There is no indication whether or not this is ET related but it is interesting. Sometimes her boyfriend at the time would come to visit her after dark and would get her attention by throwing gravel at her bedroom window. One night she was lying in her room when she was suddenly awoken around 2am by a loud sound. It sounded to her like the sound of the gravel but much louder. The noise only occurred once and then there was silence. Without turning on her bedroom light, Linda went to the window, opened it and leaned out to take a look. There was nobody outside at all. She left the window and gave her boyfriend a call. As it was 2am and she called his house phone he wasn’t entirely pleased by this! But it proved to Linda that he had not been responsible for the noise. She told him what had just happened and apologised. She then lay back down on her bed. Almost immediately she heard the same sound a second time! Again she jumped up and checked outside the window but no-one was there. It was quite bizarre. She watched a car come down the road and a fox trotting about but nobody else was around. In the end she settled back down to sleep and did not hear the noise again. I asked Linda if the noise could have been caused by someone playing a practical joke on her and heavily throwing gravel at the window. She did not believe this to be the case. There were a number of street lights outside and nowhere really where anyone could hide from view. Usually when her boyfriend threw gravel at the window some bits would remain on the window sill but there was nothing. Also she did not know anyone who would have wanted to have done such a thing in the first place. So although the noise sounded similar to gravel hitting the window, Linda does not believe this was the cause. It remains a complete mystery. Greys Visitation On the night of 10th December 2010 Linda was asleep in her house on Symons Terrace in Redruth. She awoke in the middle of the night with the feeling of a presence in the room. She looked around but couldn’t see anything. She sleepily checked the clock and found it was between 1-2am. She seemed drawn to an area below and to the side of her bed but could not understand why. She then felt really sleepy and dropped back off. This felt to her like she’d been forced back to sleep. Aerial map of Symons Terrace: 📷 A short while later she awoke again, and once more felt a presence. This continued for about an hour. Linda dipped in and out of sleep. Sometimes the feeling of a presence would be near the base of the bed, other times it felt like it was all around her. Then after a while she began to experience what felt to her at the time like a vivid dream. In this dream she saw four Grey beings in her bedroom. One was near the base of the bed where the presence had seemed to be. There were two others standing behind that one next to each other. And then there was a fourth much closer near the head of her bed crouching down next to her. She felt that the beings were trying to communicate with her but she could not hear any actual words. As she had previously seen drawings of Greys she recognised them for what they were. Witness drawing of the Greys in the bedroom: 📷 The four Greys were identical in appearance. They were about the same height as herself, 5 foot 1 inch. They had a pale flesh pink coloured skin. They had slender almost human-like bodies but the arms and legs were long and thin, and the ribs were more visible through their skin. They had long thin necks which supported an oversized rounded head. Their eyes were large, oval shaped and tilted slightly upwards. They were highly reflective and completely black in colour. The nose was nothing more than two small nostrils. They had a small slit for a mouth, and their lips protruded forward a little bit. Other than this their faces were quite smooth and flat. For ears they appeared to have a small indent in either side of the head, there were no holes visible. They had three fingers and a thumb on each hand, and less toes, perhaps two or three, Linda is not clear on this. The beings were staring towards Linda and were quite still but looking around a bit, especially the one closer alongside the bed. The two standing behind the one at the base of the bed seemed to be communicating with each other and making hand gestures, though Linda heard no sounds coming from them. This was all Linda remembered. She awoke between 6-7am and felt uncomfortable and nauseous. She remembered the dream but it felt different to usual, more vivid and real. Linda is unaware if she experienced any missing time, and does not have any other memories of the incident. This experience led to her becoming interested in the UFO and contact subject and she started to look into it in more depth. It sounds likely that Linda was visited by a number of Greys, and that the memories of this felt to her like a vivid dream, as has been reported many times before by other contactees. Usually when such a visitation occurs this is followed by an abduction experience. Perhaps Linda was taken but the memories of this are blocked out at present. She may be able to uncover these memories if she decides to be regressed at some point. Initial Communication About a week after the two nights where she had the vision of Greys, Linda had just gone to bed late. It was about 3am. It was dark in the room, the morning light had not yet started to come up. She lay down but found that she could not drop off to sleep. After a short while she again felt a presence in her room just as she had done on the previous occasions. Once again this presence seemed to be situated down near the base of her bed. She looked around but could not see anything. Linda is not certain exactly why, but she remained calm and did not try to get out of bed or leave the room. This is intriguing, as it fits in with many other contact experiences I have investigated and read about. Contactees often feel an un-natural sense of calm and complacency while undergoing experiences. This appears to be initiated on purpose by the ETs, and is probably done to stop the individual from panicking or preventing them from doing what they need to do. Then without warning, Linda’s ears began to pop quite heavily. She closed her eyes and then saw intermittent flashes of white light and felt vibrations inside her ears. This lasted for several minutes. She then began to hear some very strange sounds. These sounds seemed to be a voice of some kind speaking to her. The voice felt like it was coming down from above her and directly into her head. It sounded distinctly male but also slightly electronic and strange. A lot of it seemed garbled and unrecognisable, but she did pick up individual short words such as “me”, “we” and “you”. The voice lasted for between 2-3 minutes and then suddenly ceased. Linda lay awake a while to see if it would come back but it did not. She wondered what it had meant or where it had come from. It certainly seemed to her like it had been a message of some kind, but she wondered why a lot of this message had seemed unintelligible to her. After a while she dropped off to sleep. The Birthing Dream Several nights after hearing the strange voice, Linda had a strange and vivid dream. At first she appeared to be in her own room. She was lying on her bed, and was clearly pregnant and in labour. Then her view suddenly shifted and she found herself standing on a street which she did not recognise. Then the view shifted again. She now found herself in a brightly lit metallic room of some kind. She was sitting on top of a flat raised surface. She was leaning back resting on her hands and her legs were apart. She was wearing a gown of some kind. A number of figures were around her and appeared to be assisting with the birth. But rather than being nurses these figures were Greys. They looked similar to those she had seen on previous occasions. Their features were partially obscured due to the brightness of the white light all around them. There were four beings around her legs. Linda also sensed that there were at least two more beings in the room but were out of sight. One of the Greys seemed to communicate to these others that she could not see. Some of the Greys were staring between her legs. One of them was holding her leg reassuringly. This seemed to go on for at least 20 minutes. She did not actually give birth but felt like she was going to. Witness drawing of what took place in the dream: 📷 She remembered the dream in the morning. It felt more real to her than a dream would usually feel. Linda was puzzled by this and wondered if there was an element of truth to it, although it was of course clear to her that she was not pregnant, nor had been on the previous evening. What Linda remembers is certainly interesting. Obviously at this point she was aware of what Greys look like. She also mentioned to me that she has had other dreams before of giving birth. So perhaps this was just a dream combining these two themes. However there is the possibility that this dream was linked with the hybrid breeding program, one of the ongoing agendas of the ETs. The surroundings she eventually found herself at do fit with those described by other contactees and could have been aboard a craft. But if the experience had actually taken place, Linda would surely have noticed that she was pregnant beforehand? Also hybrids are usually removed at the foetal stage using a procedure of some kind, and then continue development aboard the craft rather than go full term and be born naturally. Therefore it seems unlikely that the incident physically took place. But there is a chance that Linda has been involved with the hybrid program, and as a result she dreamed this up. Further Communication In late April 2011, Linda once again heard the strange voice on two occasions. On the first occasion she was lying in bed about 10pm, and about to drop off to sleep. Suddenly she once again felt her ears popping, felt the vibrations and saw the white flashes of light. Rather than sense a presence in the room, she this time felt that something was over the top of the house. This lasted for a good 5 minutes. After this time she began to hear the strange voice again, which did not come as a surprise to her as this was what had happened on the previous occasion. The voice continued for between 7-8 minutes. Just as before it was mostly unintelligible, and she could only pick up individual words in it. A couple of nights later the same thing happened again. This time the strange sensations beforehand lasted a little longer and seemed more intense, but other than that it was a similar experience. Possible Abduction Linda sometimes feels tired by early evening and has the habit of going for a nap for several hours before waking back up. At 6pm on the evening of 13th May 2011 she felt tired and so decided to go for a quick lie down. She expected to wake up like usual around 8-10pm. However for some reason on this occasion she stayed asleep. A while later she began to experience very strong sensations – popping ears, flashes of light and indistinguishable voices. At some point she suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes and looked around, she immediately saw a very strange being across the other side of the room. It was a large worm like creature with no arms or legs, but with shoulders and a head. It was purple in colour and glowing. It had brightly glowing white eyes with dark purple pupils that were only visible when she looked directly at them. It had just a slit for a mouth. Through its body there appeared to be strange lines of symbols which were moving downward, which reminded Linda of the writing from the movie The Matrix. She only glanced at the being for a moment before she felt herself dropping back off to sleep. Witness drawing of the purple being: 📷 Next she heard a strange whooshing sound and felt that she was being taken somewhere. She then has vague memories of being in a room with glowing white lights. The room was an elongated hexagonal shape. There were white light sources coming from the corners and above her, and she remembers seeing a metallic ceiling. In front of her appeared to be a number of control panels and between them a sliding door with windows in it. She does not recall seeing any beings. Witness drawing of the control panels, door and lights: 📷 She awoke again and felt very strange. She checked the clock and found it was 2am. She decided to get out of bed and go and check herself in the bedroom mirror. When she looked at her face she noticed she looked really shocked. She loomed the same but different, and her eyes looked wide and alert. Her eye sockets were aching like something had been done to them. She turned around and noticed what looked like flowing blue electricity around the edges of the TV screen. This only lasted a brief moment. She also noted that the light on the controller for her electric blanket was flashing, something she had never seen it do before, nor has since. Linda did not immediately go back off to sleep. She stayed awake and went online for a couple of hours. After this time she felt extremely tired. This seemed odd to her considering the fact she had already apparently had 8 hours sleep. She got back into bed and fell asleep for a further 4 hours. Nothing else out of the ordinary seemed to occur, and when she woke in the morning she felt normal again. Was Linda abducted during the night after seeing the strange creature in her room? The being she described is very unusual and I have not investigated any cases where something similar has been seen. That said, the ETs have been known to mask their own appearance using a screen memory; could they have been appearing to Linda in this way for some reason? Or was the being nothing more than a bizarre dream? The fact that Linda remembers being in a strange metallic room with white light sources, control panels and a door is very interesting, especially as she heard a whooshing sound beforehand and felt that she had been taken elsewhere. These may well be memories from being aboard a craft, memories that have been partially blocked out. When Linda awoke she says she felt strange, her eye sockets hurt and she appeared to have a shocked expression on her face. This suggests that something unusual had taken place, and they could have been after effects from an abduction experience. She then also saw odd electrical anomalies in her bedroom. Contactees often report strange electrical activity in their proximity so again this could be a sign that she was taken. Another thing which contactees report is feeling un-naturally tired after they are returned, something which Linda eluded to in the hours following the experience. However we cannot ignore the fact that it was the middle of the night, and although she had been sleeping for 8 hours prior to this, perhaps this tiredness was just down to her body clock. Black Disc Sighting On 17th May 2011, 4 days after her abduction experience, Linda was out in the car with her mother. It was about 3pm in the afternoon and a grey overcast day. They visited Morrisons on Agar Road, Redruth. Linda remained in the car while her mother went into the supermarket. Aerial map showing the sighting location: 📷 Photograph of the supermarket: 📷 While she was waiting she began to once again think about her experiences. She said to herself “You know, I wish I’d see something right now.” Several minutes past, then Linda suddenly noticed a black disc shaped object off to the East to her left. It appeared to be travelling very fast across the sky, heading in a Southerly direction. It was quite low in the sky, just above the horizon. Initially she thought it must be a distant plane. However several seconds later, as the object was about to be hidden from sight behind a nearby building, it suddenly changed course and ascended at a very steep angle. When it was above the height of the building it then levelled out and continued on its original course. Once it was clear of the building it then descended back down to its original height. It was as if it wanted Linda to see it and had manoeuvred so that it would not be hidden from sight. Photograph in the direction the UFO was seen: 📷 Linda continued to watch the object until it had vanished behind a cloud about 4 seconds later. It seemed that the UFO had appeared on purpose in response to what Linda had asked. Could this really have been the case? The object certainly sounds like it was unusual. As it manoeuvred around the building, it does appear that it was under intelligent control. It was moving too fast to be a helicopter and could not have been an aeroplane due to the changes in direction. These appeared too structured for it to have been a bird, though this cannot fully be put out of the question. If it was a genuine UFO then it may well have been seen by other people considering the fact it was the middle of a sunny afternoon. The Staring Grey In mid June 2011, Linda experienced another visitation. She awoke in the middle of the night with the familiar feeling of a presence in the room. Her body was also shaking uncontrollably. As usual she was lying face down. After a couple of minutes she rolled over in bed. It was now that she came face to face with a Grey. It appeared to be standing alongside her bed and leaning over her. Its face was about 1 foot away from her own. Linda stared into its huge black eyes. She sensed a feeling of connection with it and rather than be frightened she was amazed but at the same time felt calm. She was only aware of one being in the room, and for some reason felt that this was the being who had been communicating with her on previous occasions, although it did not tell her this directly. She also had the sense that the being was male. She stared into the beings eyes for what seemed like 5 minutes. The ET did not change position and continued to stare right back at her. After this time she suddenly felt very relaxed and drowsy and actually fell back off to sleep while still staring at it. Linda does not feel that she was abducted after she blacked out, as there were no signs to suggest this may have been the case when she awoke in the morning. Beeping Noises Ever since her possible abduction, Linda occasionally hears a strange sound in her ears. It sounds like a long beep noise. It does not seem linked to any particular location or time of day. This rules out the possibility that the noise is coming from a nearby electrical device. Linda has been to see her GP about the noises to find out if there is anything wrong with her ears. He informed her that the noises do not go on for long enough or happen often enough for tinnitus to be the explanation. It sometimes occurs in the presence of others, who have informed Linda that they cannot hear it. Linda has noted that it sometimes occurs when she is thinking about her experiences. This link is interesting and perhaps suggests that it is to do with a memory block which has been put in place to stop Linda remembering what has happened. Psychological Standpoint Linda suffers from depression, and in 2011 decided to go and see a psychologist about it. It is unknown whether this issue is a side effect of her contact experiences. While speaking with the psychologist, she decided to inform them about these experiences. She expected him to inform her that she was hallucinating or going mad, but instead she was told that there is no evidence of this from her mental state. He also told her that she does not show any signs of having a serious psychological problem. Also he did not believe she was lying about what had taken place. Conclusion Linda has had some interesting experiences which suggest that she may be a contactee. The fact that she has had visions of Greys in her room and other strange dreams about them is of course very compelling, as is the incident where she remembers being in an unusual metallic room and seeing a strange entity appear in her bedroom. However we must take into account the fact that she had looked into the UFO subject prior to these experiences, and knew what Greys looked like. Some of her experiences are a little unusual. I do not believe the birthing dream actually took place for reasons stated earlier in this report. Also the purple glowing being that she reported seeing was very strange indeed, and could well have just been down to a dream. There are also the unusual incidents which have happened to her at night time – the popping ears, flashes of light and sounds similar to voices. Could these be signs that she has been in communication with the ETs, even though the full message was not distinguishable? Or have these incidents merely been down to hypnagogia? It is a recognised fact that individuals in this state can see, hear and feel very bizarre things. One of the recognised symptoms of hypnagogia is hearing what sounds like unclear and fragmented speech, exactly like Linda has reported. So at this point in time it cannot be ruled out as the explanation. Looking at the case as a whole, while I do not feel that everything she has experienced has definitely been ET related I still believe that Linda could well be a contactee. It seems some of her memories are currently blocked out. In due course she may be regressed and she may gain a clearer picture of what has taken place. If a regression does go ahead at any point, its findings will be discussed here. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Originally forwarded by Richard Hall Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 24/04/2011 In late March 2011, Mark Murphy from Wexford in Ireland had a sighting of a strange flash of light in the night sky. He is unsure whether this flash was UFO related or not, but decided to get in touch with me via Richard Halls website to report it anyway. Incident Details It was 9.38pm on 23rd March 2011. Mark was walking between his house and his studio. It was a very clear night with good visibility and the stars fully visible. The moon was not in sight at the time. He suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye up in the sky. He quickly looked and noticed a strange oval shaped flash of white light. It only lasted a split second but was quite unlike anything he had seen before. Mark was puzzled by what he had seen, but did not tell anyone else about the incident. Incident Analysis Mark was certain that the flash he saw was not a meteorite, he sees these all the time as where he lives is quite remote. He has also seen the international space station on numerous occasions and knows how to recognise it. There is no light pollution. He lives out on farmland 15 miles to the nearest town, so the flash could not have been caused by a searchlight or laser light from a night club. It was a clear night sky so the flash could not have been caused by sheet lightning. If it was a helicopter or aircraft at high altitude then it would have continued to be visible, not just flashed for a brief moment. The only other suggestions I have that may explain the flash would be either a piece of space debris briefly caught in the sun’s rays, or unusual atmospheric light phenomenon. However neither of these suggestions really explain what was seen to a sufficient level, I cannot say for certain what caused the flash. We cannot rule out the possibility that it was caused by a UFO, however there is nothing really that suggests that it was. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Originally forwarded by Richard Hall In early April 2010 Ryan (Name changed for privacy reasons) got in touch with me via Richard Hall’s website about an unusual experience he had in Scunthorpe around 1988. Unfortunately he has not got back to me with additional information so all I have so far is the initial notes he sent through, which this report is based on. Incident Details Ryan claims that on the night in question he had been round his girlfriend’s house and was walking home on his own. It was about 10.30-10.45pm and was a clear night. He claims that when he looked up the sky appeared to be strange colours in a “star burst effect coming down in a conical shape”. In the centre was a perfect circle through which the clear night sky could be seen. The phenomenon covered the whole sky as far as he could see. As he looked, he could see ripples in the colours coming downward towards the centre point. Ryan remembers thinking that he must get home and ring his friends to tell them about what was happening so that they could see it too. As he looked into the sky the gain of knowledge kept coming to his mind for some reason, as well as a particular poem that he knew of. He was awestruck and felt really peaceful. At some point he walked under an orange street lamp. When he came out of the other side of the glow from this light, the sky looked normal again. Ryan feels that the walk took a lot longer than it should have, although he says this could have been just because he was so enthralled with what was happening. Ryan has not stated if anyone else was around at the time and also saw the phenomenon. Incident Analysis If this phenomenon really was present and covering the whole sky then it surely would have been widely reported and filmed by people. Therefore it seems obvious that only Ryan could see this taking place. There is a possibility that this was brought on by a medical condition he was experiencing. I assume that he had not ingested any drugs at the time, however as he did not contact me back I have no way of verifying this. The fact that Ryan got in touch with me suggests that he feels what happened may have been related to ET contact or some sort of extraterrestrial-related event. This is a possibility, however he did not actually hear any voices speak to him at the time nor did he see any UFOs or ET beings. I feel that it is more likely to have been something unusual occurring with his own vision at the time. The way in which the sky returned to normal as he walked under an orange street light would back up this explanation, as the glow from the light could have righted whatever was happening. Of course I cannot say that this was definitely the reason behind the phenomenon. It certainly sounds like it was a fascinating experience. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

Birmingham UFO Group Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 28/02/2011 On the afternoon of 8th February 2011 Leona (name changed for privacy reasons) decided to head out into Saint Helens where she lives to take some photographs. She has a pen pal who lives abroad, and wanted to give her an idea of where she lives. She went out on her mountain bike, and took some photos using her Samsung 3.2 Mega Pixel Fully Automatic camera. The photos included one at Victoria Park which she took at 1.20pm. It was a sunny day, still with patchy cloud. Soon after taking the photo at the park, Leona noticed a very strange looking man. He was in the bushes and appeared to be looking for something on the ground. He was very tall, about 7 feet in height. He looked quite old and had long grey hair in a pony tail and a pointed grey beard. He was dressed in very unusual clothes – tight fitting white lycra top and leggings, silver high heeled boots, a leather tunic and long green velvety cape. He was also wearing a large silver medallion around his neck and some wrap around sunglasses. He was holding a metallic walking stick. Leona thought to herself “Wow far out!” as she passed him. Leona returned home and after lunch decided to check the photographs she had taken on her computer. When she got to the photo taken in Victoria Park she was so shocked she almost fell off her chair! Below is the photograph that she was confronted by: 📷 The photo was taken in the middle of Victoria Park facing towards Bishop Road. As you can see there is what appears to be a large black cigar-shaped object in the sky above the park. Leona wondered if the strange man she had seen was somehow connected and could even have been an ET. She phoned her father and sent him the photo. He had a look at it and two hours later got back to her, telling her that it appeared to be a solid object rather than a camera glitch, and that she should send it off for further analysis. Photograph Analysis Original photograph with object ringed: 📷 Photo with edge find: 📷 Close up of object: 📷 The photograph is certainly unusual. It appears to be an object of some kind rather than just a camera anomaly as its surface appears curved with light and shadow. However it is not casting any shadow on the ground - it is very unlikely that the object would have appeared on digital camera but not been seen with the naked eye or cast a shadow. Sometimes UFOs can be invisible and show up on infra red, but you would expect any solid object picked up by a digital camera to be visible when not looking through the camera as well. It is interesting to note that the base of the object narrowly misses the tops of the tree line right across the photo. This is more than likely just a coincidence, rather than being proof that the object is above the trees and avoiding them on purpose. The blurred edges suggest that it is a small object falling past the camera lens at the time of taking the photo, perhaps a black seed pod of some kind. It is out of focus because the camera is focusing on the park. I feel this is the most probable explanation for the photograph. The unusual man seen nearby was probably just eccentric rather than being an extraterrestrial visitor. If anyone can shed more light on this individual (or indeed if you actually are him) please get in touch. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011
