Birmingham UFO Group report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 11/07/2012 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used Introduction In late April 2012 I was contacted via E-Mail by a lady from London. She informed me that she had experienced some strange and vivid dreams which she would like to understand. She also mentioned that she was seeking answers to what had happened and would be interested in being hypnotically regressed. I got back to the lady, who in this report I will refer to as Selene, and soon afterwards we met up on Skype to discuss her experiences. As well as her various dreams, she also spoke of a number of drawings she had done which she felt had meaning behind them and were linked with these dreams. This report includes copies of these drawings and Selene’s own interpretation of what they could mean, as well as details of her numerous fascinating experiences. Beginnings Between 2008 - 2010 Selene suffered from depression. Eventually she recovered from this, and in April 2011 she began to think about what the next stage in her life would be. However she could not think of anything the world had to offer which she wanted to concentrate on. She felt that she just wanted to leave and broke down crying as a result. While she was crying a very clear and direct thought came to her mind - “Wait one year.” It felt to her that this thought had interrupted her other thoughts, like it had been projected directly into her brain. She wondered why she had thought this, and what it could mean. As it was 2011 she started looking on the internet about the year 2012 seeking answers. She immediately came across the movie 2012. After watching the movie she read more into the Mayan 2012 prophecies and intrigued by this, continued to read. This lead onto her finding out about governmental conspiracies, and then Reptilian aliens. She read some cases in which they had reportedly materialised out of thin air. The fact that these beings could appear whenever and wherever they chose frightened her, and she felt quite vulnerable. For a while she was not able to sleep well, despite the fact that at this point she had little reason to believe that they would interact with her in any way. Out Of Body Experience & Grey Visions In 2011 Selene lived in Winchester. One night between 1-2am Selene was lying down on her bed watching TV. She was naked and lying face up with her head on the pillow. Alongside her was a towel she had dried herself with. She felt very tired but didn’t want to go to sleep. She looked out of the window for a short while. She began to feel sleepy and closed her eyes. But when she did she found that she could still see. She opened her eyes and there was just darkness. Closing her eyes again she found that once more she could see! Selene was frightened that she had somehow damaged her eyes due to staying awake too long. She then felt a tickling sensation on her forehead and also within her head. She began to shake her head to attempt to stop this sensation. It seemed to work and she felt that everything was fine. She then decided to get up to go and make a cup of coffee. She sat up on the bed and looked over at the TV. She felt completely normal, other than the fact she was tired. Her hair was still wet so she glanced round to pick up her towel off the bed. When she looked she saw her body still lying down on the bed. This was strange enough, but to top that, her body on the bed was lying down on its front, even though she had felt she was lying face up, right until she sat up off the bed. Her face was to the side and she could see that her eyes were closed. Selene could not understand what was happening. It was almost like she had instantly fallen asleep but was still conscious and had come out of her physical body. After staring at herself a while she came to the conclusion that she must have died. She felt that she had died and  that soon it would be time to go elsewhere. She stood up in the room and looked out of the window. It was a calm and clear moonlit night. She felt that her father was going to come for her. When he didn’t show up she then felt maybe that she would see light come for her so she could pass over. But she then thought that she didn’t know how to call for anyone, so maybe she would be stuck there. This made her nervous and desperate. She heard noises of someone moving around in the kitchen. She decided to go downstairs and see if she could call somebody from there. She was about to grab the door handle but then she got frightened that her hand would go right through it. She felt that maybe she would be trapped in the room forever. She wanted to fly away but found that she could not. With nothing else to do, she sat on the bed alongside her body and tried to calm down. She was too frightened to see what would happen if she touched her body. She started to feel sad that nobody had come for her. Selene remained in that position for a number of hours, watching the early morning television shows. After a long while she began to feel very tired. She wanted to lie down on the bed. She stood up at the side of the bed and wondered how she would lie down with her body there. She lay down and did not feel her body at all, it was like she had re-entered it. She again looked out of the window and could see it was now almost morning time. She closed her eyes and felt herself dropping off to sleep. Suddenly she once again opened her eyes. For a brief moment she saw a short white being standing by the wardrobe alongside the base of the bed. The figure had the stature of a child. Its face was an off-white colour. It had a large oversized cranium coming down to a thin chin, and large completely black eyes. It was hairless. Selene cannot remember seeing a nose or mouth. The being appeared to be wearing a black or very dark coloured skin tight suit. This seemed to cover the rest of its body, or at least this is what Selene remembers. It is clear from her description that this being was a Grey, although Selene did not realise this at the time as she had only read about Reptilians on the net not Greys. The figure was only visible for a brief second before it vanished. Selene felt that it was just a vision from a dream she had been having. She then heard a noise that sounded like someone hitting her on the head with a hammer. She felt like she needed to breathe, like she had dived down very deep underwater and needed to take a breath. She felt a little shocked and disoriented. Her whole body was in pain as if she had been doing extensive exercise. For a few seconds she didn’t realise who she was or where she was. Then she remembered looking down at her body and feeling that she had just died. She got up and looked back at the bed but there was nothing there, to her relief she was back inside her body. She checked the clock and found it was now 7am, the time she usually wakes up at. She began to get ready for work. For the rest of the day she felt very tired. In the evening she had a look on the internet to try and find out what had happened to her. It was here that she learned about out-of-body experiences and near death experiences. She felt that she must have had an out-of-body experience. She did not think much about the small being she had briefly glimpsed as she assumed this had just been a dream. The following day Selene was off work. She was reading some horrific stories about cattle mutilations online. She thought to herself, wondering why the ETs were doing this against people’s will. Immediately a vision of the face of a being appeared in her mind. This being had an elongated white coloured head which appeared smooth and shiny. Like the short being it had very large black eyes, and a long thin neck. It reminded her of the mask from the “Scream” horror movie series. She could not see the rest of the being but sensed that it was tall. The being responded to her in her mind, saying that they don’t do anything against our will and never will. Due to what she had read about abductions and animal mutilations she didn’t believe it. The vision lasted for about 5-6 seconds before fading from her mind. Looking back on the incident, Selene feels that it was an ET speaking to her directly. She also believes that it was a type of Grey, although she didn’t interpret it as this at the time. Within the week following the experience, Selene glimpsed visions of the short Grey on two further occasions. Both times it was standing in the same place in her bedroom and was only seen for the briefest of moments. The interesting thing about OOBs is that while they initially do not appear to have much to do with ET contact, many contactees have reported having these in addition to their contact experiences so there appears to be a link between the two. Some researchers even speculate that OOBs are the explanation for abductions, however there are many aspects that do not fit with this explanation, aspects which are usually ignored completely by these individuals. It is very interesting that Selene briefly had a vision of a Grey in her bedroom just as she woke up from her out-of-body experience, and then also on two other occasions within the following days, and also had a vision of a different being soon afterwards. This certainly suggests that the experience was not a normal OOB and could have in some way been related to a contact experience, or perhaps somehow triggered memories of a previous experience. This was not to be the last time she would see the small Grey (see below). Dreams - Overview Selene has had a number of very vivid dreams which appear linked to contact. Some could well be actual experiences she has had which have then been blocked out from her conscious mind. Often experiences of this type will later on come back to the individual in this manner. She has not had any noticeable physical side effects from any of the dreams after she has woken so if any of them are of real events it is likely that they have happened in the past. Some of the dreams she has had are unlikely to be of actual events, but could well be visions of the future or metaphorically linked to her experiences. It should be noted that Selene had looked more into the UFO subject prior to having these dreams, and did know what Greys looked like. However she informed me that had barely looked into the contact aspect, and had no knowledge of their possible agendas. Selene mentioned that these felt far more real and different to any other dreams she has remembered. This is common with contact cases, real experiences can often feel like very vivid dreams. However as there are no physical aspects, you may feel that they were nothing more than her imagination brought on by her research into the subject. Either way they are worth noting. Abduction Dream This was the first dream that Selene had which appeared clearly linked with contact. It took place in late October or early November 2011. At the start of the dream she found herself in a room with white walls, ceiling and floor. She appeared to be grown up rather than a child, but could not tell whether she was younger in the dream than she actually was. She was sitting up on a white smooth plastic-like rectangular table, with her legs dangling off one side. Her legs were bare, and Selene feels that she may have been naked. She could not tell if there was anything under the table, it was quite high and she felt that it may have been free floating. There was a door in one of the walls of the room, again white in colour. There was also a window through which she could see that she was high up in the air. It was light outside. She could see houses, areas of grass and a river down below. The room she was in appeared to be at normal temperature, it was neither overly hot or cold. Witness drawing showing her view of the surroundings including the edge of the table and window, and the door in the wall: In front of her was a Grey with a wrinkled face, a few feet away. She felt like the surroundings and this being were very familiar to her, like she had been here on previous occasions. She was not frightened of the Grey at all and instead felt a connection with it. Due to her research into the subject she recognised it as an ET, although she felt that it may have been a robot rather than a biological being. The Grey was standing still and not blinking. It spoke to her in her mind, asking her to do something. She cannot remember what it said, but she remembers that her response was “Yes I’ll do it, because that is for a good thing.” She does not remember whether she said this out loud or spoke telepathically using her mind. Witness drawing of the Grey’s face and the view from the window: Suddenly she heard a loud female scream coming from outside of the room to her right. It sounded like someone was getting murdered. She wanted to find out who was screaming and why, so she got down off the table. There was an open doorway at one edge of the room. She walked across the room away from the Grey, and stepped through into a corridor. There were lots of open doorways leading off this corridor. A door to her right led through to a very similar room to the one she had been in. Stepping backwards out of this door was a very frightened lady. She appeared to be English. She was quite obese in size and had very short and thin hair. Her cheeks were red, probably from the screaming. She was wearing a black shirt and beige coloured short trousers. Her lower legs were exposed and covered in red dots like she had just shaved them. She was not wearing any socks or shoes. Immediately Selene had an image appear in her mind of this woman sitting on the sofa eating chips and watching TV just after she had shaved her legs. She has no idea whether this was simply a thought or an actual psychic vision. Looking through into the other room she saw it was very similar to the one she had initially come from. Again there was a white coloured table. Either side of the table was a Grey. However these beings looked very different to the one she had been speaking with previously. They had blue-grey coloured skin and were both much taller and more slender in build. Selene sensed that they were very wise and also actually alive rather than robotic. She looked at one of the Greys and asked it what was happening. But both of the beings remained still and continued to watch the frightened lady. It appeared that they were waiting to see what she did next. Witness drawing of the two blue-grey coloured Greys: The lady raised her hands to her face and continued to scream loudly. She was staring at the two Greys and slowly backing away from them. Selene moved to give her space to walk past. The lady then turned towards Selene momentarily before looking back at the Greys. She did not appear to have seen Selene, possibly because of how panic stricken she was. Selene thought to herself “She even hasn’t noticed that I’m human”. Looking back at the dream Selene finds it odd that she had this thought. Rather than try to get the lady’s attention, Selene decided to let her calm down first. Another being then emerged from a doorway beyond where the lady was standing. This being was immediately familiar to Selene – it was the small Grey she had seen in her room several times following her out-of-body experience! The Grey had an injection needle like instrument in its hand. As soon as Selene noticed this she realised that this being would take control of the situation. She did not fear for the woman’s safety, she just felt that the best thing for her would be for her to calm down and get her normal senses back. Witness drawing of the small white-coloured Grey and the lady: Selene walked back through to the room she had begun in. The Grey she had initially been speaking with was still there but had moved to a different position in the room. When it noticed Selene it looked at her. She spoke with it, saying “She’s not ready yet, I want you to send her back.” This is where the dream ended, though Selene feels certain that they did send the woman back home and didn’t do what they had planned to do. After the dream ended she continued to sleep as normal until morning. When she awoke, Selene felt like it was still continuing for several seconds before she realised where she was. She clearly remembered what had taken place and decided to write it down due to how vivid it had felt. She also realised that in the dream she had acted differently to how she normally would. Selene says if she saw an ET she would be frightened, yet in the dream she appeared to be comfortable with them. This experience clearly fits very closely with an abduction experience.  There are many details which closely match other cases I have both directly investigated and heard about over the years. If this dream was a memory of an actual experience, it appears that Selene was abducted at the same time as another lady. With shades of what happened to Travis Walton during his abduction in 1975, this lady appeared to have woken up unintentionally. Even though Selene has no memory of the ETs actually taking her, the fact that she began sitting on the smooth table aboard the craft suggests that she had been abducted. It appears that Selene was familiar with her surroundings and comfortable with both the situation and the Greys. This suggests that this was far from the first time she had been taken. There are numerous points which suggest a high level of trust between her and the ETs. More often than not, the contactee is paralysed during their abduction experience. This is probably done to prevent them from attacking the ETs, hurting themselves or reacting precisely how the other lady reacted. The fact that Selene was able to move freely, and was even freely allowed to leave the room and walk around the craft suggests that the ETs trusted her and were not bothered by her decision to do this. Usually the ETs will not even speak with the contactee, or will just say a few words to calm them down. However they appeared fine with conversing with Selene. Towards the end of the experience, Selene actually asked them to do something, and although she does not actually remember them acting on her request, she feels that they did and that she had intervened with their original plans. This may suggest a deeper connection with the beings than many contactees seem to have. Near Future Events Dream Approximately a week after her initial dream, Selene had another dream linked with contact. She once again found herself aboard a craft, though this one was completely different to before. Unlike the previous dream, this craft was out in space. Selene feels that it may have been a mother-ship of some kind. She was standing in a large open area, which she believes was the front of the craft. The walls were white in colour, and the ceiling was very high. In front of her was a table above which was a holographic representation of planets including our solar system. Surrounding this were many distant stars that looked like pin-pricks of light. The planets in the hologram looked completely solid, they were not semi-transparent. They were moving slowly on their orbits. On the other side of the table was a human-looking woman. She was about 170-175cm in height and in good shape. She had short blonde-coloured hair. Selene cannot remember too much detail about her other facial features. On the far side of the area, at what Selene believed to be the forward facing edge, was a long window which looked out to the stars. The woman began to speak, referring to the holographic display. When she did so she spoke to Selene telepathically, her lips did not move. The voice in Selene’s mind sounded calm and gentle. The woman said “Mercury will see the Sun as the first. When Venus will see the Sun, it will go further away, and when Earth will see the Sun, it will go much further away”. As she said this, the Earth in the holographic display moved and entered what appeared to be a different planetary system shown above it. As it did so all the surrounding stars also changed. Selene had the impression that this was not only a different place in space but maybe a different universe entirely. The new system that the Earth moved into appeared to have over 16 planets, and the Earth was the 5th closest to the new Sun. Selene reached up and tried to touch the hologram. She was excited to find that she could actually feel the planets in her hands like they were solid and physical. The lady began to speak again. Selene cannot fully remember what she said but from what she remembers she stated that she had a task to do, but something needed to take place first. After this, the Earth would be in a different universe and then she would need to perform this task. She also mentioned a coming war. Then the woman took a step backwards away from the table, and pointed towards the long window. Selene walked up to the window and looked out into space to see what the woman was pointing at. She saw fleets made up of what appeared to be hundreds of craft. All these craft looked the same, and were all a dull yellow non-metallic looking colour. She believed they were warships, although there were no visible weapons on them. The woman said to her “You see, everyone is waiting.” Selene was shocked and could feel her heart beat. She exclaimed “Why?!” This is where Selene’s dream ended. However when she woke up she was left with the feeling that her and the lady had continued discussing what was to come. The lady had told her that there were multiple species. Some were good, some had bad intentions and others were un-decided. These un-decided species had the choice to either help us or join the species with bad intentions. However they had decided to help us. The lady said there would be a war and that we should prepare for it. The lady that Selene saw in this dream was more than likely a Nordic. It is clear that she wasn’t human as she spoke to Selene telepathically. The Nordics (sometimes referred to as the Pleidians) look extremely human-like but are almost always described as having blonde-coloured hair. They have been reported by lots of contactees, including many I have directly investigated. The hologram which Selene describes, with its unusual physical properties, is very reminiscent of what was seen in the recent Ridley Scott movie "Prometheus". However it should be noted that Selene discussed this with me before the movie was released at the cinema, so it is very unlikely that she got the idea for it from this. Obviously there have been numerous other movies before which have shown similar things e.g. "Mission To Mars", though to be fair you could say that about most things. Selene feels that what she was shown was events which would take place in Earths near future, though there was nothing which directly indicated when or where she was. Could Selene have really been shown things which are going to take place – a coming intergalactic war and the moving of our entire planet to a new point in space or even a new dimension? And if so, for what purpose? For what reason would she be shown such things? At present we cannot say for sure. However if what Selene dreamed about is actually real, the implications are absolutely massive. Meeting Discussion Dream Again within a week of the hologram dream, Selene had another similar dream. She felt that she was on the same craft as her previous dream but within a different area. She found herself in a hallway-like area with a window positioned on either side. At either end of this hallway was an open door leading off to other areas. Selene was aware that one of these doorways led off to the area at the front of the ship which she had been in during her previous dream. The other doorway led to a meeting room at the centre of the craft. In the dream, Selene was aware that she was close to the Earth, and would be able to view both it and the Sun from the window of the craft. In her own words Selene says “They try to keep the craft in view of the Sun and Earth so people (humans) on the craft can see it, so they will not feel too far away from home”. She was standing near to one of the two windows so she decided to look outside. But she saw nothing but darkness. She walked across to the other side of the hallway and looked out, expecting to see them. When she looked she could see the Sun, but the Earth was not where it should be. Another thing that Selene knew was that there was a meeting between different beings taking place in the central area leading off from the hallway. She was waiting until this meeting came to a close. However she grew tired of waiting on her own, and was also curious to discover what the ETs were discussing. She was angry that they would not let her be a part of the meeting, and couldn’t understand why she had to be excluded. She walked into the meeting room. The circle of beings were made up of was a human male who looked like an Indian, the lady with blonde hair she had seen in her previous dream, a tall blue-grey coloured Grey, some shorter Greys, and a tall blue coloured humanoid wearing golden and blue coloured robes. Selene felt that this being was the most hierarchically important. There was one more figure in this circle. It was another her. A wiser version of herself. Rather than a clone, Selene believes that this was her subconscious or her soul, a part of her which had been separated from her physical body. From what she understands, this is the part of her which the ETs directly interact with. Selene went and stood next to her other self. Her other self was discussing what she would do next with the rest of the circle. Selene had the impression that they wanted her to be there so that she could remember it. This was where the dream ended. Unlike her two previous dreams, this one actually felt like a dream rather than something more vivid and real. However she does believe that it was more than just her imagination and the ETs were trying to tell her something through it. UFO Sighting After experiencing the above mentioned dreams, Selene believed that they were both significant and contact related. She wanted to see a UFO as she felt that this would confirm this was the case. She thought to herself that she would not purposely go looking to see one; if she was undergoing contact then they would come to her. She also told herself that she would not accept an unidentified light in the sky as a genuine sighting; she would only be convinced if she saw a proper structured object. It was between 4-5pm on a day in late November 2011. Due to the time of year it was already dark. It was cloudy and cold, with light rain. Selene was on her way home from the nursery where she works. She was walking along a road in Hainault, London. There were a couple of other ladies nearby. She happened to look up into the sky to her left. It was now that she saw a strange object hovering 10-20 metres over the tops of the houses on the opposite side of the road. The object was disc shaped, with a wider band around its middle. This had a number of multi-coloured lights around it – red, green, yellow, blue and white. The lights were flashing in a circular pattern continuously. The main body of the object was a dull metallic colour. The object was hovering completely motionless. Selene stared at the object for a couple of minutes. It continued to hover in the sky. She thought to herself “Thanks, I got the message, my dreams are true. Now you can go.”  But the UFO remained. Selene decided to continue walking. She glanced back and the object was still visible. After a short while she looked again. She could see that the object had now moved higher in the sky and further away from her. As it had now clearly moved she decided to stay and watch it to see what it would do next. For a time it was still. Then it began ascending in a zig-zag pattern. Shortly after this it vanished without trace, not into the distance, it was just gone. Selene was convinced that the object had been an ET craft and that they had appeared on purpose to prove to her that she was experiencing contact. Sadly she did not have a camera on her at the time so could not film the UFO. Nor did she tell either of the women who were walking nearby. She felt that they probably didn’t want to see it and she would look stupid if she pointed it out to them. Later on she told her mother about the sighting, and her mum informed her that she had also seen two UFOs that same week! Distraction Dream In this dream, which took place soon after the UFO sighting, Selene found herself standing in a school classroom. There were lots of desks, a blackboard and many windows through which bright sunlight poured. She sensed another person standing alongside her to her left. She looked round and saw that it was her other self from her previous dream. Her other self appeared to be waiting for someone. Then a blue-grey coloured Grey came into view. It was around the same height as her, and appeared younger than the ones she had seen in her other dreams. Selene was aware that the Grey wanted to take away her other self. But her other self said “She doesn’t sleep yet.” The Grey moved its hand up and then Selene began to hear a buzzing noise. Even though she was interested in what the Grey and her other self were doing, she felt obsessed to look for the source of the buzzing sound, it drew her like a magnet. She began to search round the classroom. Suddenly she saw a bee but in reverse colours, mostly black but with yellow stripes. Her other self said to the Grey “She sees it as the bee with opposite colours.” The bee flew around the room and then landed to her right. As it did, a huge sunflower sprouted up from where it sat. Selene felt that the Grey was showing her child-like visions to distract her so that it could take away her other self. She felt that where they were going to she could not follow. She didn’t want to lose sight of them but felt compelled to look at the bee. And when she looked back they were both gone. At that precise moment the bee also vanished and she forgot all about it, she just remembered that she had been searching for something. This dream is certainly metaphorical. It is very unlikely that Selene found herself in this situation and actually physically experienced it as she remembered. However it may well be symbolic, and could suggest that a part of her, perhaps her sub-conscious is linked with the beings, yet her physical body is not. This is what Selene herself feels is the meaning behind this particular dream. Meeting Her Son In late 2011 Selene had a fascinating vision, one which had a lasting effect on her. It happened without warning during the day time. She was on her way to the nursery. Suddenly she saw a male being standing in front of her. He was very tall and was wearing a long dark coloured coat. He had long pale blond/white coloured hair and large completely black eyes, similar to the eyes of the Greys she had seen on previous occasions. However his other features looked completely human. The man then took Selene to a different place. She found herself standing in front of some kind of transparent wall. Through this wall she could see a place covered in lush green vegetation. The sun was shining brightly and it looked beautiful and calm. She turned to look at the tall being. He pointed towards the wall and Selene knew that he was inviting her to step through it. When she did so, her body changed and she found that she now was now one of his race. She was taller and had blonde coloured hair. She was wearing a long pale beige/white coloured coat. She entered a building with a dome made from white coloured stone. Inside the dome she sat down in a circle with other beings. All of them looked similar to her and were wearing the same garments. She watched as they made a drink out of some long green leaves. They handed a cup of this drink to her. She tried it but didn’t like it as it tasted quite bitter. They were talking amongst themselves and also with her, though she cannot remember exactly what was being said. Her next memory was of leaving this strange place. The male being was there near to her. There was also a five year old boy there. Even though he was clearly not human she recognised him as her own son. She knew that she had to leave and return to Earth. She wanted him to come with her but he told her that he could not go. She hugged him and then stepped back through the transparent wall. As she did she once again became human. She then found herself back on Earth walking towards the nursery. But she could still see the male being, although he was standing further away from her. She asked him why she could not take her son with her. He said that he would not survive on Earth so had to remain where he was. The vision of the male being then faded away. Selene felt deeply saddened. It felt to her that her own son had been taken away from her. This feeling remained with her for several weeks and was quite overbearing. During this time she had to keep telling herself over and over that she did not have a son. Drawings Occasionally contactees find that as a result of having contact experiences they suddenly become very artistic, which sometimes is completely unlike them. The art pieces they create appear to be linked with their experiences. They often contain symbols, complex geometrical shapes or recognisable images such as ET faces. Earlier in her life Selene had been an artist. But she had not drawn for many years. However in early 2012 she began feeling the urge to draw pictures again. She believes that these pictures have come as a result of her contact experiences. In the past she would always think of what she was going to draw. However these recent pictures she has drawn have been drawn completely abstract. She has not been aware of what she is drawing and has just let her hand move. When she has drawn these pictures, Selene has felt like there is a female being to her right side guding her hand. It felt like she has stepped aside and let this being control her hand movements, although she has never physically seen anyone there by her. Sometimes she has been given an explanation for what she has drawn, other times she has sensed that the drawing is done to assist in her remembering something from her past. Below are each of the drawings she has done including Selene’s own interpretation of what they may show. “I think that picture on the right represents balanced energy, while the picture on the left side represents unbalanced energy. The spiral above represents a galaxy or something similar. Something is falling from the galaxy.” “I’m not sure what this is. The spiral in the centre represents something (don’t know what), and the spiral on the left represents how we see it or perceive it. The spiral below it represents some kind of imbalance. The helix on the top represent DNA that is trapped in something (I think some kind of energy). The triangles on the top right corner both represent some kind of electrical towers that send or receive signals. Under them is some land with a tower on. I’ve feel I’ve been told by somebody that this picture is to remind me of something, but I don’t remember anything. The rest is very strange to me.” “This is again something to do with DNA. She (the being that was drawing it through me) tried to show me how the DNA looks. There are different frequencies of DNA strands. The other frequency than we do not currently have is, or will be, inside of the present one. On the right side there is some kind of device or machine that is sending something on Earth to stop or promote DNA growth. The little device or machine is doing opposite. I have no idea what the little thing in front of the first described machine is.” “This is the same machine as on the previous picture. DNA needs something to grow or access something, and this device is preventing it from doing so.” “I don’t know what this is. I don’t know if it has some sense or meaning.” Drawings - Analysis These pictures are very interesting indeed, especially as Selene feels that they have been drawn by the ETs working through her rather than thought up by herself. It is clear that many of the pictures show DNA helixes. While the rest of the images are open to interpretation, they could well be themed around energy balances and DNA manipulating devices as Selene believes they are. This fits in with the commonly held belief that the ETs are involved with an ongoing genetic program, mixing our genes with their own and possibly manipulating our development as a species. The final picture seems to show the same electrical towers which Selene has drawn on the second picture. On the right appears to be DNA strands again, perhaps entering something. The upper part of the picture could well show star constellations and possibly a sun or planet in the top right corner. It should also be noted that the base of the 3rd drawing looks somewhat similar to Solsbury Hill, an Iron Age hill fort situated near Batheaston in Somerset, England. Although this is probably just coincidence, it is still worth mentioning. Photograph of Solsbury Hill: Psychic Abilities As with many other contactees, Selene has informed me that she has high intuition and can often sense emotions of people near to her. She can sense what they are feeling. She believes she has had this ability since childhood but has only accepted it as fact in recent years. When she was young she often used to forget people’s names and faces. People used to think she was arrogant. But in reality she just saw them differently. She was more interested in who they were as a person, their personality and emotions. It rarely happens randomly, usually Selene will actively think about how the person is feeling or the emotions will become apparent after she has spent a period of time with them. However occasionally she senses emotions but does not know from who they are coming from. Sometimes Selene will get a visual representation of the cause of the person’s emotions within her head. This may be something recent or something which has happened to them many years ago. Because of her ability, Selene does not like crowds of people and tends to avoid them. There have been a number of occasions where Selene has had confirmation that her ability is real. She has surprised people by telling them how they are feeling. She has informed people of the real reason for their emotional state, and they have been frightened by how she has known this information. Because of these experiences she tends to keep these thoughts to herself more often than not. In over half the contact cases I have investigated, the individuals involved have described having psychic or sixth sense abilities, usually without me having to ask them directly. This is far too regular to be just coincidence, and I am convinced that there is a link between ET contact and these abilities. The real reason for this link is not yet fully understood. Conclusion This is certainly a very interesting case. Because Selene has looked into contact prior to her numerous vivid dreams it is impossible to rule out the possibility that some of what she has seen has not been down to her own imagination. However in addition to these dreams she has had many other contact-related experiences. She has had daytime flashbacks of beings and other worlds, one of the ways that these experiences can often come to light. She has had an impressive UFO sighting which appeared to be in response to a request. She has drawn numerous pieces of art which seem to be linked to her experiences. She has also mentioned other things such as her psychic ability which are often reported by contactees. All of this points to a compelling case for contact. Selene is seeking answers to what has taken place, and has decided to proceed with a hypnotic regression. We plan to go ahead with this in the coming months. If any additional information is uncovered from this, it will be added to this report in due course. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2012

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 25/06/2012 For reasons of anonymity pseudonyms have been used In many cases of ET contact, it is generally just one individual who undergoes the experiences, with other family members only indirectly affected. However sometimes numerous people can all be directly involved. These cases can be particularly convincing due to multiple accounts of the same incident. This report covers a fascinating experience involving a mother, her son and daughter, as well as an earlier ET visitation experienced by the mother at a young age. Glowing Orb In 1987 Mark, his sister Carol and mother Deidre lived in a RAF officers house which was part of an estate on Muscovey Close, Lyneham, Wiltshire. Mark’s father was RAF air crew so was away from home a lot of the time. Mark was between 13-14 years old, Carol was around 18-19 and Deidre between 36 and 37. Aerial map Muscovey Close, showing its proximity to RAF Lyneham: Photograph of Muscovy Close: One night Mark was woken from his sleep by a strange sound. He felt that the time was between 1-2am but he did not check the clock. He had gone to bed around 10pm that evening, and felt that he had been asleep for at least a few hours. Outside it a typical still and quiet night. The noise he could hear was a continuous high pitched ringing which seemed to fill the entire house. It seemed to be coming from the back of the house. He had never heard anything like it before and was frightened as to what could be causing it. He was confused and wanted to know what it was, so he jumped out of bed and went through to his mother’s room. He found that she was still asleep, so he woke her up to ask her what the strange sound was. Deidre was just as confused as Mark as to what the sound was. Less than a minute later, Carol also came into the room, again un-nerved by the strange noise. They huddled up on the bed and continued to listen. The noise seemed to slowly be getting louder and louder. A couple of minutes went by, then suddenly without warning a glowing orb of light appeared in the room. It was over to the left of them near to the door. The orb was about 4 feet off the floor and was glowing a bright white, with green shimmering around the edges. It was quite small in size, about the size of an apple. It did not look like a solid object, more like a ball of energy. It was quite clear in the semi-dark room, but was not so bright that it illuminated the surroundings. The orb moved to the right slowly, about a foot every few seconds. As it moved the sound also changed, and it was clear that the noise was resonating from this object. It continued on this straight course across to the right side of the room, by which time it had moved about 15 feet. And then...nothing. Everyone woke up the following morning like normal, and had completely forgotten about the incident. This extremely strange event which had frightened them all during the night had been completely wiped from their minds. Details of the experience would not return for several of years. These details came back to Mark initially, and later to his sister and mother. He doesn’t really know how this happened; there was no sudden flashback or revelation. The memories of what had taken place came back to him but at first felt to him like a unusual dream. However the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a dream and may have actually taken place. He also had a strange feeling that he wasn’t supposed to or allowed to talk about what had happened with anyone. Not long after, Mark was out on a bike ride with his mother. Despite the strong feeling that he wasn’t supposed to talk about the incident, he decided to bring it up in conversation. He recalls feeling the same sense of fear that he had felt on the night itself as he went over the details of what he remembered. To his surprise his mum remembered exactly the same thing. Just like him she had no memory of anything taking place after seeing the glowing orb. She too felt that for some reason she was not supposed to talk about it. Mark felt pleased that his mother had confirmed the incident was real, but was also a sense of fear about what had occurred. A while after the bike ride, Deidre mentioned the incident to Carol. She too had remembered what had happened, and reacted by exclaiming “Oh my god, I thought that was a dream!” Just like Mark and Deidre she could not remember anything else which happened that night. The family did not speak of the incident again until several years later when they were all together somewhere. Mark says this was due to the fact that it felt uncomfortable to talk about it, as well as the fact that there was nothing really any of them could say about it which hadn’t already been discussed. It has remained a mystery ever since. Glowing Orb - Conversation Transcript It was Mark who got in touch with BUFOG about the experience. After speaking with him via E-Mail, I asked him to ask his sister and mother if I could speak with them about what happened. Below is the conversation Mark had with his sister, which he gratefully transcribed for me: M: Morning Carol, don't know if you remember when living in Muscovy seeing that strange light that time? Always confused me to what it was and why I can't remember talking about it the next day and not remembering anything for about two years. Anyway I E-mailed this bloke on a paranormal / UFO website just to ask if anyone else ever had the same experience. I got talking to him and he said he could get some woman he works with to hypnotise me and see if I can remember any more at no cost, so think it would be interesting and worth a go. I spoke to mum about it and she remembers it too but in a slightly different way and is happy to speak to him about it, Anyway this bloke asked if he could E-Mail you and get a statement of what you remember if anything and if you’re interested in finding out anymore. C: Yes I can remember it, but only bits and pieces, mostly I remember a light going across the room, and I didn't remember anything until about 10 years later when mum, you or Simon mentioned it! Was Simon there? I would be happy to give a statement but it's not much my E-Mail address is ***************. Oooh how interesting! M: No was just me you and mum. Cool I'll pass it on. It's just something that's bugged me for years and what I always found strange was the not remembering about it for so long after, as if you witnessed something like that the next day you would surely talk about it and remember. C: I know! That's what I find weird too; I can't remember how old I was? Also when it was brought up I remember thinking that we shouldn't be talking about it! But I don't think that now. M: Yeah that's how I felt for a long time, but not bothered about it now. C: How old were you? M: I think I was about thirteen or fourteen and around sixteen or seventeen when it started to come back to me. C: Ah that makes me twenty! I think it was before I had Sal. But I could have been pregnant. M:  Yeah was think it was about a year before Sal was born. But I'm a bit vague but Justin had moved out so I think it was around that time. Glowing Orb – Mother’s Statement On 22nd April 2012 I got in touch with Deidre about the incident over the phone. Below is the statement that she gave about the experience. As with the rest of the report, the names mentioned have been changed: “It was a long time ago, and it certainly was very odd what happened. I was talking about it to Carol, my daughter and she can remember it quite clearly, but there are things that Mark and I remember that she doesn’t remember. As I remember it, Mark must have been about thirteen, fourteen at the time, and my husband was in the Air Force, and he was away as he always was, and I was in my own in bed. I didn’t wake up to any noise or anything, I just remember waking up to Mark. He said “Mum!” and came into my bedroom, and as he came running in he got into my bed, I saw this light sort of following him, I didn’t know what it was at first, and then my daughter came in as well, and they both just jumped into bed really quietly, and the light as I recall moved across the bedroom, and it was orb-like, sort of tennis ball sized I suppose, and there was a whining with it, and it just went from one side to the other. Now I can’t honestly say what happened to the light. I just remember it going across the room, and I do remember saying to the kids, ‘cause they got into the bed, and I remember saying “Don’t look at it!” I just said “Don’t look at it!” I don’t know why I said this, I think it was the whine and I can remember being frightened actually, and there was no way I would have got out of bed and sort of looked at it, and I often wonder why. And it just went slowly across the room into the corner and I don’t remember after that, and we certainly never talked about it. And it was years, years later, that Mark and I were going for a walk, we had our bikes actually, we were biking up a hill, and he said “You know, there’s something I want to talk to you about.” As soon as he mentioned it I remembered it, and I said “Ooh yeah!” And I’d definitely forgotten but I never thought about it. And then a while after that I saw my daughter Carol and I said “Do you remember?” and she said “Yes I do remember it”. She said “I was really frightened”.  I said “Well we all were, we all got in my bed and honestly I couldn’t tell you anything more about it. The glow of the orb, and the whine, it was like a light, to me it was a light colour like a white light but Carol said to me that she remembered it with a line through it and she said it had a pinky colour to her. And I said no I didn’t see anything that colour. So it’s really a most peculiar thing. I just sort of shrugged my shoulders about it.” Glowing Orb – Sister’s Statement I received Carol’s statement via E-Mail on 25th April 2012. It read as follows: “I was woken by something; I don't know what because I can't remember the noise, although I feel there was one. I went into my mother's bedroom and my brother Mark also came in. My father was away at the time so it was just me, Mark and my mum. I don't remember any of us talking to each other, just getting into my mum’s bed and all cuddling up together and us all being very frightened. Then a light came into my mum’s bedroom, it was approximately 2 feet above the bed and moved across the room from right to left, disappearing through the wall. The size of the light was about a tennis ball size, it may have been slightly bigger and was glowing white and I feel it had a red line running through it, coming out of each end about a foot. At this point I think there was a high pitched humming noise. I can't remember anything else until we talked about it years and years later, not even waking up the next day thinking it was a dream! It wasn't until my mum remarked “Do you remember that strange thing that happened to me, you and Mark years ago?” that I got very upset and had a feeling of panic and saying we shouldn't be talking about it! My feelings of what it was? I don't know, I am inclined to believe it was a poltergeist.” Glowing Orb – Analysis This incident is truly fascinating, and has numerous aspects which fit in with ET contact. It clearly took place as it was experienced by three witnesses, so could not have been a dream or visual & audible hallucination of some kind. What could the glowing orb of light have been? A natural explanation for such a sight could be ball lightning, which are rare but do exist. However these only occur during stormy weather. The weather was clear at the time of the experience. Also ball lightning is completely silent, it is just an electrical charge that builds up in the air. It does not make the loud whining sound which was heard. Therefore I believe this explanation can be put out of the question. Many contactees have reported seeing these orbs around their home, and they do seem to have a link with contact. It is possible that they are a manifestation of some kind, or possess intelligence and are used for monitoring purposes. The way in which the family experienced missing time, and also completely forgot about the experience immediately after it had taken place have both been reported before in many ET contact and UFO sighting cases. There has to be a definite reason why this occurred. Even if one person were to forget about such an experience, the chance that all three witnesses would forget is inconceivable considering how unusual and frightening it was. Also even when the details did come back to them years later, none of them had any recollection as to what happened next – where the orb went, how they returned to their beds. If the two children were frightened they would surely have remained in the room with their mother and slept alongside her. Yet when they woke up in the morning they were all back in their own beds. What occurred here is commonly referred to as a memory block. This is something which I and many others believe to be a genuine part of contact experiences, and probably initiated by the ETs themselves so that the individuals will not recall what has happened to them. There are many different theories as to why they would do this, but I feel it is probably done to prevent any long term trauma that the experience may cause. Another aspect that is common with these so called memory blocks is that the individual feels that they are not allowed to or should not discuss the experience with anyone else. This suggests that the ETs do not want them to share the details of what has happened to them. Considering the fact that these beings are working in covert and are not currently engaging with the human race openly, this makes perfect sense. All three witnesses in this case experienced these feelings, although they now feel more open to talk about what happened after so many years. Mark has decided to be regressed to see if any further details about this experience come to light. This will be arranged within the coming months, and I will update this report with any findings after it has taken place. It would be great if Carol could be independently regressed, but at present this is not something she wishes to proceed with. Deidre has stated that she has gone for hypnosis before but she could not be hypnotised. She says that because of this it is unlikely to work and for this reason does not wish to go ahead with one at this time. Grey Visitation The glowing orb incident was not the first experience that Deidre had ever had. When I rang her up to ask about what took place at Lyneham, she recounted a visitation from a Grey, and possible abduction which occurred when she was young. Earlier in her life she lived over in Kenya on a farm. One day in 1957 when she was just 5 years old, she went to check on the chickens. They were kept in a round hutch along a path which lead through the bush from the main farm buildings. Off to the left side of the path was a large field of maize. This was very high, about 6-7 feet tall. It was also very dense. Deidre walked along past this field of maize. When she had almost reached the chicken’s hutch, she suddenly had the distinct feeling that something was watching her. She looked up and to her left, and saw the face of a Grey staring directly at her. Obviously at the time she had no idea what it was, however later on when she was older she saw pictures of Greys and realised that what she had seen looked the same. The Grey had large black eyes and very pale skin, nearly white in colour. Its head was sticking out above the crop, and was swaying back and forth. Deidre could not see the body of the being as the maize was too dense. However the crop was very tall so unless the being was over 7 feet in height, it appears to have been floating. This could explain the swaying motion observed. The being was clearly observing her. Deidre was of course un-nerved by the strange creature looking at her. She crouched down and began drawing in the dirt. She felt that if she ignored the being and didn’t look at it, it would go away. She did this for a short while without anything happening. In the end she decided to look up to see if it was still there. This was the last thing that she remembers doing. Just like the glowing orb experience, Deidre then had a period of missing time. As she was so young she finds it difficult to say what her next clear memory was. She certainly doesn’t remember walking back to the house. However she does have a very strange memory that she feels may be related. She remembers being inside her home next to a rolled up decorated rug in the living room. She was bending down and rubbing the ends of her fingers on the rug again and again until the ends of them were red and sore. She has no idea why she was doing this, and while she is not certain about when this occurred, she believes it was directly after seeing the Grey in the field. Grey Visitation – Analysis If this incident took place as Deidre remembers, then it is clear that she is a contactee. Whether she has had other experiences prior to the glowing orb which have been blocked out of her mind is unknown at present. However there is certainly the possibility that the two incidents we do know about are connected despite the fact that they occurred in different countries and many years apart. After speaking with her in depth, I do not believe that Deidre is fabricating this experience at all. At the time she did not know that the strange figure she saw peering at her was an ET, she only found this out when she was older when she saw a drawing of a Grey somewhere and recognised its features. Just as with the glowing orb incident, Deidre has a period of missing time surrounding the experience. This suggests that she may have been abducted after seeing the Grey in the field. Perhaps its ship was nearby and she was taken on board, at present we can only speculate. Another interesting aspect is what she was doing directly after the experience – rubbing her fingers on a rug again and again. Could something have been on her fingers that she was determined to remove, something which was causing irritation? As mentioned earlier,. Deidre has already turned down hypnotic regression due to the fact that she has tried hypnosis before and it didn’t work on her. Therefore it is unlikely she will ever find out what happened during the missing time and how she got back to her house. Conclusion This case is on-going, and until Mark has been regressed it would be unwise to draw many conclusions. However there are many aspects of the glowing orb incident which fit with ET contact, and I would not be at all surprised to find out that it was related. Also the incident which happened in Kenya certainly sounds like a definite visitation, as it is very unlikely she would have seen/heard about Greys or the contact subject when she was only five. As there was also missing time with this incident it appears that this visitation may have been followed by an abduction experience, although she has no memories of this at present. Keep an eye on the website and if it goes ahead I’ll let you know once the regression analysis has been added to the report. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2012

Birmingham UFO Group Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 13/05/2012 Introduction Soufian lives in a town called Helden in the Netherlands. He first got in touch with BUFOG in late March 2012. He has experienced many unusual things over the years, most of which began in his teens. These experiences have included visitations by beings, abductions, psychic abilities, unusual vivid dreams and other strange phenomena. After looking into the ET contact subject, Soufian realised the extent to which his experiences fitted with it. He decided to purchase and read Awakening – the excellent book on contact by Australian ET contact specialist Mary Rodwell, and found that he could relate to a lot of what was mentioned. After initially getting in touch with Mary, he then came across BUFOG due to my own investigation into the subject. Over many E-Mails he has provided some excellent information on his experiences, as well as many drawings which are scattered throughout this report. Morocco Being Visitation In June 2004 when Soufian was 19 years old he went with his family on holiday to their house in Al Aâroui, Nador, Morocco. The house is big enough for Soufian to have his own bedroom.  His two sisters shared a second bedroom, and in the third were his parents and younger brother. The incident happened in the second week of their stay. It was particularly hot weather, too hot to lie on the bed close to the wall. Soufian had laid his mattress down on the floor and was sleeping on it close to the open doorway of the room. The windows were also left open to cool down the room as much as possible.  Soufian and his family went to sleep about 10.30-11.00pm. At some point in the night Soufian began to experience what he put down at the time to a nightmare. He was lying down on the mattress with his eyes open. He was not sure what time of night it was. The room was quite dark but was partially lit by moonlight coming in through the open shutters. He looked through the doorway of his room over to the door of his parents bedroom. There standing in the doorway was a strange being, which was looking right at him. The being was around 1.5 metres in height. It was humanoid in shape. It appeared to be unclothed. Its body appeared to be covered in a light brown coloured silky fur. This fur extended right down over its hands. No fingers were visible. The creature had large rounded black coloured eyes which Soufian describes as “lifeless and without a soul”. It had very small nostrils and its nose was not very pronounced. Its mouth was open, exposing pointed pale-white coloured teeth. No ears were visible from the front. Strangely although he had a clear view of the creature, Soufian does not remember seeing any feet. Witness drawing of the being: 📷 After a moment the being began to move towards Soufian. It appeared to be floating a short distance above the floor. Its arms and legs hung down and did not sway back and forth. Soufian began to panic as the being got closer to him. Then one at a time, the windows in the room began to slam shut extremely violently. At this moment Soufian jumped up off the mattress and ran through into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. As he did so he felt that the being was chasing after him. Although it had felt like a bad dream, he was now definitely awake and very frightened. Witness drawing showing the layout of the house and an arrow indicating how he left the room: 📷 Soufian remained in the bathroom for up to 15 minutes. He was shocked by what had happened and very upset. He did not call out to the others in the house as he didn’t think they’d believe him so there was no point. After this time he cautiously made his way back to the bedroom. The being was nowhere to be seen, but Soufian could see that the shutters were almost closed, whereas when he had gone to sleep they were definitely open. He lay down on the mattress again but was still frightened and could not sleep for a long while. In the end he finally dropped off. In the morning without saying anything to her, Soufian’s mother stated that she had heard him shouting out during the night. She assumed that this was a bad dream which is why she did not get up and go through to his room. Soufian did not tell her about what had happened. After a while he too put it down to a dream, despite the way in which the shutters were now nearly closed. However now looking back at the experience he believes that this was an ET visitation. This is certainly an interesting experience. Could Soufian have really been visited by an ET during that night? The being had certain characteristics that fit in with one of the most commonly reported species, the Greys; The slender body, the large black coloured eyes, small nose and short height. However there are other characteristics which are very unusual and do not fit with it being a Grey. The fact that it was covered in a silky fur is very unusual. Although fur-covered beings have been described before they are quite rare. The sharp pointed teeth again are un-common, and give the creature a very animalistic presence. It appeared to float towards him rather than walk. This combined with the slamming windows suggests that the being possessed telekinetic powers, which in turn means it was unlikely to have been a wild animal of some kind. What are we to make of the slamming window shutters? Why would the being have done this in the first place? This seems a very odd thing to do. Could the being have been trying to frighten Soufian or display its power to him? The fact the shutters were nearly closed when Soufian re-entered his bedroom does suggest that something took place and that the experience was more than just a bad dream. What the being wanted with him is unknown at present. It is unlikely that anything else occurred due to the fact that he got up and ran through into the bathroom. There is no indication of any missing time surrounding this experience. Pale Skinned Female At some point in 2010 Soufian experienced another visitation which this time included a painful operation-like procedure. He was at his home in Helden. He went to sleep as normal. In the middle of then night, Soufian began to have a strange dream. In this dream he saw himself lying down in bed. There was a tall and slender female humanoid figure standing alongside the bed, about 1 metre away. The lady was wearing light coloured robes She had pale grey coloured skin and long pale blonde/white hair which hung down to her shoulders. She looked very healthy, with smooth skin. For some reason Soufian does not remember her facial features. Her arms and lower legs were exposed, and other than the skin tone looked human. Painting which reminds the witness of the female being he saw: 📷 Soufian stared at this scene for a couple of seconds. Then without warning the figure was closer and appeared to have her hands down inside of his lower chest. He immediately felt excruciating pain, like the lady was moving his lower ribs back and forth and crushing down on them. From his current viewpoint he could not see whether or not his chest was actually opened up, but he feels that it wasn’t and that the hands of this being had somehow entered his skin. He watched himself struggling against what was taking place, but he felt that he was paralyzed and trapped. The intense pain continued. He tried shouting out but could not scream, there was just complete silence. This procedure seemed to go on for a very long time, possibly a couple of hours, although Soufian says that it could have been less but felt so long due to the pain. Then all of a sudden it was over. The lady vanished and he awoke with a shock. However despite the traumatic experience he had just undergone, Soufian soon drifted back off to sleep. In the morning he lay in bed remembering what had taken place. He could feel that his lower ribs were aching. At first he was frightened to check, but after about half an hour he looked over his body for any markings or cuts. There was nothing. He got up and went into work like normal. The aching pain in his ribs continued for several hours before finally dispersing. However his ribs continued to feel sensitive for at least another day. With this particular experience I am torn two ways. Some of the aspects of what was experienced do fit in with sleep paralysis, a fact which Soufian is aware of and does not deny. During sleep paralysis the individual finds that they cannot move no matter how hard they try. They try to call out and nothing happens. Sometimes during sleep paralysis can include visions of either shadowy moving forms in the room or specific figures. These figures will sometimes climb on top of the individual, pushing down on their chest or attempt to choke them. Because of the feeling of being held down, the brain comes up with a reason to explain why this is happening. This is of course similar to the crushing sensations that Soufian felt during the experience. Also Soufian felt that he was asleep at the time. The fact that he was looking down at the experience rather than actually seeing it with his own eyes tends to back this up. However with all of the above said, I find  Soufian’s description of the being very interesting. In sleep paralysis experiences, people can imagine all sorts of horrible figures, such as a witches or demons. However the being that Soufian described has many characteristics which fit in with it being a Nordic or hybrid. The being was beautiful and very healthy looking. She had long pale blonde hair and was wearing flowing robes. All of these are commonly described. The lady’s skin tone was a pale grey colour. Nordics usually are either described as having pale flesh coloured skin or tanned skin. However the ET race known as the Greys are usually described as having a pale grey coloured skin. One of the known ET agendas which crops up time and time again in contact cases is the hybrid breeding program. Often the ETs mix their own DNA, or mix theirs with human DNA to create cross breeds. The reason behind this is not fully understood yet, although there are numerous theories. Could this being have been a Grey-Nordic hybrid or a Grey-Human hybrid? If so this suggests that his experience actually took place. The fact that his ribs ached for several hours the following day is another factor which seems to suggest that something real occurred. Orange Sphere Late evening in November 2010 Soufian was in his bedroom at his home on Van Wisstraat, Helden. It was between 9.30-10.00pm. He looked out of his bedroom window. It was a very clear night outside and the stars were fully visible. He decided to go up to the attic to get a better look at them from the attic window. Photograph of the attic window: 📷 He opened the window and peered out. He first looked down to see if anyone was around but it was quiet. He then looked back up. As he did so he was astounded to see a glowing sphere to the upper left of his vision, several feet away from his face. It was about the size of a football, and was glowing orange with a black core. The glow coming from it was constantly bright. Witness drawing of the sphere: 📷 Photograph of the roof with the sphere drawn on top to show its position: 📷 Soufian sensed that this sphere was observing him. He stood there completely still staring at it. He felt completely calm by the situation. Despite the fact it was only 12 degrees centigrade outside he did not feel cold at all, a fact which he finds odd looking back at the experience. He was fascinated by the object. After around 10 minutes he decided to look away a moment. When he looked back it had completely vanished. Despite this, he was absolutely convinced that the object had been real and not just an optical illusion or light reflection. He did not tell anyone about what he had seen as he felt that they would not believe him. Witness drawing showing an overview of the house, position of himself and of the sphere: 📷 This incident remains a mystery at present. There are a number of possible explanations which could be given for such an experience, but many of them do not stand up to the facts. It could not have been a nearby Chinese lantern as these have a definite shape to them, a shape which is only blurred at a distance. Also we must take into account the fact that it didn’t move at all for a period of 10 minutes, a lantern would definitely have drifted during this time. There are no orange lights in the vicinity of Soufian’s house which could account for the orb. On the opposite side of the road are some normal yellow street lights, however these are down low below the height of the attic. The orb could not have been a reflection from a light inside the house, as Soufian had turned off all the lights in the attic to get a better view of the stars. It is extremely unlikely to have been ball lighting, as this is not orange in colour, and also only appears during stormy weather when the air is electrically charged. Also again it would not have remained motionless for 10 minutes. It cannot be put out of the question that it was some kind of optical illusion. The fact that it vanished when Soufian looked away then back could support this theory. However Soufian has not had any other sightings of similar objects so why would this have occurred on this particular occasion? Contactees often report seeing glowing orbs of light in their proximity around their home. These sometimes appear to be under intelligent control and could be observational devices, or may even be a manifestation of energy. Therefore this experience does fit in with one of the common aspects of contact and certainly should not be ruled out. Related Dreams Soufian has often had very vivid dreams, some of which have featured elements that could be related to contact. Often memories of experiences may come back in the form of dreams rather than as conscious memories. Sometimes these dreams may be clear recollections of events, other times aspects of the experience may come back in a metaphorical sense. In March 2011 Soufian had a bizarre dream. In this dream, he opened the front door of his house to take a look at the neighbourhood. It was early afternoon of a bright sunny day. Nobody else was around, but coming down from the sky onto the road were numerous red beams of light, which reminded him of lasers. He looked up into the sky and realised that these beams were the base of a strange glowing red grid that stretched up as far as he could see. Witness drawing showing his road with the red beams coming down: 📷 Photograph of Soufian’s road showing his viewpoint from the front door during the dream: 📷 He was mystified at what this could be and stood there in the doorway staring at it for around 30 seconds. This is where the dream ended. While this dream does not seem to have much to do with contact, numerous people have spoken before of an invisible energy grid surrounding the Earth put into place by the ETs. Could Soufian have been shown this grid via this particular dream or was it just his imagination? In the autumn of 2011 Soufian had a dream in which he viewed sights elsewhere in space. The dream began with a vision of flying very fast through the air, watching the landscape rush by below him. After a while his view suddenly changed, and he found himself in space with stars all around him. He did not see his own body it was more like a vision. He was close to a orange-brown coloured planet which he assumed was Mars. He looked down in awe at the surface of the planet. Artist’s impression of Mars which Soufian says is very similar to what he saw in the dream: 📷 Again after a number of minutes his view shifted again and he found himself viewing the inside of a space craft or space station. There was a hallway with metallic flooring. The floor was split into hexagons like a honeycomb. Alongside this hallway were large computer-like machines covered in buttons. These machines were behind metal fencing and pillars. There were some boxes stacked on the floor, and off to the left was a path leading somewhere. He watched two people walk along the hallway, a man and a lady.  They were wearing tight fitting suits which were dark green and black in colour. The figures turned, and Soufian could see that the man was himself at a slightly younger age. The lady started speaking to his other self, but he was too far away to hear what was being said. Both of them appeared happy and were smiling. Witness drawing of the surroundings, showing his viewpoint of proceedings: 📷 Witness drawing of one of the machines: 📷 After a few minutes the dream came to an end and Soufian woke up. He remembered everything which he had just dreamed.  It had felt far more real than a normal dream would, like actual memories of a real experience. Soufian believes that the dream was real, and that the male figure he saw in the dream was another version of him elsewhere in the universe or in a different dimension. Could this vision have been of actual events, or was it nothing more than a dream? It is very hard to say for sure. It is entirely possible for Soufian to have dreamt up these things, anyone can have a dream of flying in space and exploring craft. Other than the fact that he was out in space there is nothing directly linking this with ET contact. He did not see any ET beings during the dream, the figures appeared human. ETs almost always talk telepathically, yet the woman he saw spoke using her mouth like normal. If we assume for a moment that the dream was of a real experience, who was this other self he saw? Could it have been a dream of a prior experience and it was actually him? Perhaps it was a clone which had been made from his DNA. Or maybe it was as Soufian believes – another him existing elsewhere. On 5th January 2012 Soufian had a dream about a UFO. He found himself walking along a path by the edge of the sea after dark. To his left was the open sea. Some cargo boats were floating near the shore. To his right an area of grass and a small forest. There was a bench at the edge of the path with an old woman on. A younger girl was standing alongside the bench. He went and sat down next to them and started talking with them. He does not recall what he said but was trying to make something clear to them. They looked up and saw eight circular red coloured lights in the sky above them. Witness drawing of the surroundings in the dream: 📷 Witness drawing of the red lights: 📷 After looking at the lights for between 5-10 minutes, suddenly a craft appeared in the sky about 50 metres above them. It was quite large in size and cigar-shaped, with short rounded wings at each end. There were a number of symbols on its side. It flew diagonally down towards the sea. When it was above the boats near the shore it suddenly tipped over upside-down. Then it descended into the water behind the boats. Soufian expected there to be an explosion but there was not even the sound of a splash. This is where the dream ended. Witness drawing of the craft, with two symbols on that he remembered when he woke up: 📷 On the 8th May 2012 Soufian had another dream that may have been related to a contact experience. He was in his bedroom during the night, standing among at least 10 small children. Soufian wondered what they were doing in his room. He noticed that the children were all staring across to one side of the room. At first he thought they were watching the TV. But he glanced round and at this moment saw a strange creature standing in his closet. It had a dark shadowy form, and appeared to have no arms or legs. The creature had black eyes with grey around the edges. No other facial features were visible. It stood there staring for a few seconds then moved sideways and vanished into the wall. Witness drawing of the dream, giving an overview of the room and what the creature looked like: 📷 Then a panic began and he and the other children ran downstairs. He could hear his sister calling for him to hurry. They ran outside the house and there were cars waiting to pick them all up. His sister was in one of the cars. At this moment he woke up.  While it is unlikely that this dream actually took place, it perhaps has elements brought on by prior contact experiences. His description of the strange creature is interesting as is the presence of many other children. It should be noted that while these dreams appear to have elements related to UFOs or ETs, Soufian has informed me of many other dreams which are unusual but not directly related so they have not been included in this report. Obviously it is important to differentiate these dreams from things which have happened to Soufian while he has been awake, or at least felt that he has. It is entirely possible that they are nothing more than vivid dreams, something which anyone is capable of experiencing. Premonitions Soufian has informed me that on numerous occasions he has seemingly had premonitions of events before they have taken place. These visions come to him in the form of dreams which look like watching a black and white movie. Sometimes Soufian’s premonitions are about people he knows, other times they seem to be completely random. Psychic abilities such as this are often reported by contactees, and may well be either a side effect of contact, or the reason the ETs are interested in them in the first place. In mid 2011 a Turkish woman and her husband used to live on his road. One night Soufian had a dream or vision in which the woman had died. He saw her friends and family all dressed in black with sad expressions on their faces, and a black funeral car. When describing how it felt to experience this vision, Soufian says it was like “looking through a viewing hole” at the scene. When he woke up he wondered whether he should do anything, like perhaps go and tell the lady’s husband what he had dreamed. But he felt that he would not believe him. Two days later the lady died and Soufian’s premonition came true. The lady’s grand-daughter came to the house and spoke with his mother. She informed her that her grandmother had died of a heart attack Soufian realised that he had known about the incident prior to it taking place. He still feels guilty about it and wonders if he could have done anything to stop it from happening. He has not told anyone else about what happened. His family is Muslim and he says that they would not believe him or would say it was down to the devil. Abduction Memories In January 2012 Soufian appears to have undergone an abduction experience. He went off to sleep like any other night. At some point during the night he opened his eyes and found himself elsewhere. There was darkness everywhere, and he found that he was paralysed from the neck downward. He craned his neck round and could see that he was lying on a smooth surfaced metallic table. The edges of it curved up a bit and he could see a band of metal around the edge. Most of the surroundings were completely dark, but there was a faint yellow glow coming from behind his head. Also either floating or hanging about 2 metres above him was a frame of some kind made from glowing yellow tubes/pipes. These tubes were self illuminated but not extremely bright. Witness drawing of the yellow tubes: 📷 Photograph witness found which reminds him of how the yellow tubes looked: 📷 Either side of him stood three Grey beings in dark robes. They were around 1.2-1.4 metres in height. They had a slender build with long skinny necks. They had large over-sized heads with completely black almond-shaped eyes, two small nostrils, and a slit like mouth. No ears were discernible and their noses were not pronounced. The beings were wearing black coloured long sleeved robes which covered their bodies and legs, though their hands were exposed. All of the beings were staring right at him. Their eyes were emotionless yet he sensed intelligence from them. Witness drawing giving an overview of the surroundings (only one of the six Greys drawn): 📷 Despite the situation and the fact he could not move he felt calm. Looking back at the incident he is puzzled why he was not panicking. This feeling of calmness has been described by many contactees and UFO witnesses, and appears to be a regular aspect of these experiences. He recognised the beings around him as Greys. He looked around trying to establish where he was, looking for something familiar, but there was only darkness. He did this for about 15-20 seconds. After this he has no memories of what happened next. His next conscious memory was of waking up the following morning. He remembered the above details and immediately began writing them down. Also for some unknown reason he felt he had to touch the base of his spine above his pelvis. Soufian has no idea whether the incident happened during that night or whether it was memories of an earlier experience, but he feels certain that it really took place. Vision Of Grey One morning in February 2012 Soufian awoke earlier than usual, at around 5am. The room was quite dark but the shutters on the window were not fully closed, allowing some light into the room. As Soufian slowly opened his eyes he realised there was Grey standing in his bedroom. It was across the room from him standing still. It was unclothed and slender, with pale grey coloured smooth skin. The being turned its head and looked directly at Soufian. At this point he noticed that its eyes were not completely black, it appeared to have irises. Soufian felt a great sense of sadness from the being, and it had a slightly saddened expression on its face. Unlike the Greys he had seen previously in his abduction experience, this one seemed to convey emotion. He was not frightened of the Grey, and wanted to help it with whatever was causing it this sadness. Witness drawing of the Grey: 📷 Photograph of the witness’s bedroom showing the location the Grey was standing: 📷 After about 3-5 seconds the being simply faded away. Soufian immediately got up out of bed and wrote down the details of what had happened. As with his other experiences he kept what he had seen to himself. Soon it was normal morning time and he got ready for work like usual. It is unclear what this experience may have involved. Perhaps it was an actual visitation. Shadow Being Roughly one week after the vision of the Grey in his bedroom, Soufian had another experience in which something else was briefly seen. It was about 8am and Soufian had just woken up. He walked along the landing to the bathroom to have a wash. As he walked he glanced to the right into the open doorway of his parents room. For a brief moment he was greeted by the sight of a strange shadowy form standing over by the window inside the room. It was about 1.7 metres in height, a little shorter than himself. The shape had no discernable humanoid shape it was just a shadow-like form. It was only present for a second before it faded away. Witness drawing showing a room plan of the upstairs of the house, showing his position and the location of the shadowy form: 📷 Could this vision have been of an actual entity of some kind? Contactees have often spoken of seeing strange moving shadow-like forms around their house. These are commonly referred to as shadow beings, and are one of the many mysterious aspects of the paranormal. There is a chance that this is what Soufian saw. However as it was only briefly visible and did not move at all, there is also the possibility that it was just a temporary optical illusion, perhaps caused by his sleepy eyes becoming accustomed to the morning light. Or perhaps a brief shadow caused by something outside. Night Time Experiences Soufian regularly hears unusual buzzing or beeping sounds when he is just about to drop off to sleep. It occurs between 1-2 times a week. He is usually dozing and about to enter deep sleep when it occurs. Usually he hears a buzzing sound which lasts for between 2-20 seconds. Sometimes the noise is accompanied with a vision of white light coming towards him in his mind, or vibrations felt throughout his body. Occasionally he also hears a loud continual beep noise which can last up to 2 minutes. Some of the strange dreams that Soufian has had have begun with this experience. The reason for these sounds and feelings is unclear. Due to their regularity, it is possible they are a medical condition or related to sleep paralysis. However it is a known fact that many contactees have heard such sounds and felt vibrations, often directly before a contact experience. This suggests that the noises are related to contact in some way, and are perhaps a side effect or even scanning by the ETs. However they are also mentioned as side effects of out-of-body experiences. Soufian has often experienced OBEs, otherwise known as astral projection. He informs me that he has the ability to do this at will. The experience usually begins with him leaving his physical body. He then finds himself flying to other places extremely fast. Often if he thinks of a certain place he will travel there, though whether he is actually there or if the OBE takes place just in his mind is open to speculation. At first glance these experiences appear separate and un-related to ET contact. However once again many contactees have reported having OBEs. Other Signs The ET contact phenomena has many varied aspects to it, and there are many signs which can indicate that contact is taking place. Sometimes these can be clearly related to experiences the individual has had, other times they can appear completely un-related. In the extensive notes Soufian has provided, he has mentioned many of these signs, including the following: - Has a fear of the dark, and of rooms without a window covering (curtains/shutters). Contactees often get a phobia of the dark or of having to go to sleep at night as they are aware that this is when they have been taken. - Has irregular sleep patterns. This can again sometimes be linked to night-time contact experiences. - Feels he is constantly being watched by an unseen presence. This is commonly reported by contactees, and may well be down to ongoing observation/monitoring by the ETs. - Unexplained sounds within his home and occasional voices speaking his name. Contactees often experience paranormal activity such as this within their home, and I have heard others mention that they have heard their own name being called. - Feels a strong connection to the stars and moon. Often spoken of by contactees, perhaps this is down to a sense of where the ETs they are in contact with have originated from. - Feels he is here for something specific, but does not yet know what this is. Often reported by contactees, perhaps this is down to whatever purpose they have been taken in the first place for, something they are supposed to do here on Earth within their life time. - Feels different to most other people. Feels in some way different to his family, almost like he has been adopted. This tends to be reported by individuals commonly referred to as “star children”. These are people who have a deeper connection with the ETs and view them as their other family, usually from an early age. While Soufian does express some of these characteristics I do not feel there is enough evidence to say that he is a “star child”. - Drawn to remote places for an unknown reason. Most outside contact experiences take place in remote locations so that there are few if any witnesses. This indicates that Soufian may have been taken while outside at some point. - Has felt energy surges through his body at times. Another unusual physical aspect sometimes described by contactees. - Is sensitive towards many chemicals/drugs. For an unknown reason, contactees often find that they have allergies towards unnatural products. - Has very acute hearing. Contactees often have highly developed senses and report having highly sensitive hearing, smell or sight. It should be noted that these signs on their own are not outright proof that Soufian is a contactee, as many people can experience these things. However they are often reported so should still be taken into consideration. Conclusion As you can see, Soufian has had many interesting experiences, some of which are directly linked with contact, and others which may well be. Although it is unknown if his vivid dreams are related, he certainly appears to be a contactee, something he has until recently had to deal with completely alone. He  feels that his family and friends would not understand what he is going through, a fact that is often sadly proved to be the case. However he has gratefully shared his experiences with me and anyone else who decides to listen and treat them with the seriousness that they deserve. His experiences appear to be ongoing, so it is likely that he will have further contact going forward. If he keeps in touch with BUFOG this report will be updated as necessary.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 10/01/2012 Last Updated: 11/01/2023 Introduction For the last couple of decades one of the more widely reported UFO types has been the Flying Triangle. On 13th December 2011 active West Midlands Police Officer Gary Nock got in touch with BUFOG to report the sighting of one such object, which had been seen by him and his family on the evening of 7th December. Gary had also reported the sighting to the Express and Star newspaper in order to establish whether anyone else had also seen it. On 14th December I drove out to the sighting location to discuss the incident with Gary face-to-face, and also get some location photographs. This report contains both a detailed overview of what took place, and the newspaper article. Sighting Details It was 6.40pm on the 7th December 2011. Gary, his wife, his daughter and her boyfriend Jamie were on their way out to the Badgers Sett pub in Hagley for a meal. It was a very clear and still evening, and due to the time of year it was dark and the stars were already out. The pub is situated on Hagley Causeway. Opposite the pub is the Clent Hills which are made up of grass covered-fields and areas of woodland. As the family approached the pub, Gary noticed some lights out of the front window of the car. The lights were off to the right of the road to the East. They were white in colour and arranged in a line. They were low down, just over the tops of trees at the western end of Hagley Wood. They appeared to be heading in the direction of them and the pub. It was clear that they were attached to a single object, but as it was getting dark it was hard to make this out at first. He pointed the lights out to everyone else in the car. Gary turned into the pub car park and parked. He was intrigued by the white lights and so quickly got out. He asked Jamie to come and take a look. Leaving his wife and daughter at the car, the men walked back to the path that separated the car park from the road. When they looked back over at the field they saw that the object had now changed course and was no longer heading towards them but had turned and was now moving away from them to the South East. It was clear that the object had banked as it was now at a sharp angle, giving a clear view of the lights on its underside. The main body of the object appeared to be black in colour, and was triangular in shape. It was dark but the shape could be made out as it blocked out the stars. Gary noted that unlike a stealth bomber or other known aircraft, the rear of the object was completely straight. On its underside there was a white light at each corner, and in the centre a dimmer red coloured ring of light. This ring appeared to be separated into sections. The object was very large indeed – Gary says that it was at least half the size of a football pitch, if not larger. The object was moving slowly, Gary estimates about 20 mph. There was not much traffic on the road, and Gary noted that it was completely silent. The two witnesses continued to watch the object as it glided smoothly over the field. Then as it got close to a cluster of trees on top of the slope which make up part of Short Wood, it dropped down behind the tree line out of sight. Both witnesses were amazed at what they had seen, and were certain that it had not been a conventional aircraft of any kind. Gary has had an interest in UFOs for many years and so realised that the object fitted in with descriptions of Flying Triangle craft. He was convinced that this is what they had seen. Over the meal they excitedly discussed the object. The following day he decided to contact the local Express & Star newspaper in the hope that someone else would also report seeing the UFO. The newspaper article was printed on the 13th December. Nobody else has yet claimed to have sighted the object on that evening (at least to Gary’s knowledge), however the newspaper made the connection between it and other Flying Triangle sightings which have occurred in the Birmingham area over recent years. It has been suggested that these sightings are all of the same object, which has been given the nickname “the Dudley Dorito” as the shape is similar to that of a Dorito crisp. Newspaper Article Below is the article from the Express & Star which was published on 13th December 2011. You can access the article directly from the below link: ‘Dudley Dorito’ UFO re-appears in sky Tuesday 13th December 2011, 11:00AM GMT. A mysterious triangular UFO dubbed the ‘Dudley Dorito’ has re-appeared in the region’s skies with the latest sighting reported near to a Midlands beauty spot. Property worker Gary Nock and his family were on the car park of the Badgers Sett pub, Hagley, when they saw the distinctive object flying overhead. The 52-year-old said the UFO, a black triangle with white lights at each end, was flying at low altitude from the direction of Birmingham. He said the object had turned silently in the air and they had eventually lost sight of it as it passed over the Clent Hills. The sighting occurred at around 6.40pm on Wednesday  and Mr Nock immediately looked it up on the internet after returning home. And he said the UFO bore a close resemblance to the “Dudley Dorito” first spotted over the skies of the Black Country a few years ago. Mr Nock said he, his wife Susan, daughter Claire and her boyfriend Jamie Burgoyne had just arrived at the pub to have a meal. “We were just getting out of the car when we saw this object overhead. It was very low in the sky and could easily be seen,” he said. “At first I thought it could have been a jet but no aircraft has those types of lights to my knowledge. “It banked to the one side and made no sound whatsoever which was also strange. It was so low we lost sight of it over the tree line of the Clent Hills. When we got back Jamie and I looked it up on the internet and saw the stories about the Dudley Dorito and what we saw does bear a resemblance to it.” Mr Nock said he believed the craft could be an experimental military plane. “I know about planes but have never seen anything like this. “It does look a little like a B2 stealth plane but that makes a sound this one did not. It is a mystery.” It is the latest in a long list of sightings over the Black Country. The UFO was last seen earlier this year by security officer Glyn Richards while in the back garden of his home in Quarry Bank. It has also been spotted over Tipton, Brierley Hill and Oldbury. Sighting Analysis After meeting with Gary face-to-face to discuss the incident, I am absolutely convinced that this is a genuine sighting of a Flying Triangle craft. Gary appears very trustworthy and was absolutely thrilled at what he had experienced. He has thought about the sighting logically and compared the shape of the object to known triangular military aircraft. The fact that at the time he was an active Police Officer with West Midlands Police Force at the time (now retired) also helps with the authenticity of his testimony. Police tend to be very observant of their surroundings to aid in the collection of evidence, and may well spend extended periods of time outdoors while on patrol. The object that Gary described seeing is a “classic” Flying Triangle craft. The shape, colour and large size match many other sightings. And the lighting configuration and colours is also the most commonly reported, although there are numerous other configurations also described. It is likely that there are many different types of FT, in much the same way that we have many different styles of cars. The segmented ring shape of the red light is not always reported, sometimes just a red light is seen, but there are numerous cases where this exact shape has been described. As well as the appearance of the object, there are a number of other reasons why it was unlikely to be a conventional aircraft. Gary says that it was flying much too close to the ground, between 100-150 feet at most. It was gliding too slowly to be a jet, and was completely silent. At that altitude and distance a normal aircraft would certainly have been audible, especially after dark. It was clearly under control so was not a drifting electronically lit balloon, and was much too big to be a remote controlled model. Although a secret military aircraft cannot be completely put out of the question in this particular case, I know of numerous cases which directly link these craft with extra-terrestrial beings, including some I have directly investigated. There are also cases where these craft have been seen to perform incredible manoeuvres, changing direction instantly, hovering motionless and displaying astounding velocity and acceleration. Also it is very unlikely that a secret military aircraft would be flown in full view over a highly populated area, this does not make any logical sense. The newspaper article puts the incident down to another sighting of the “Dudley Dorito”. While it is possible that a single craft is returning to areas of Birmingham on numerous occasions, I find it more likely that these are separate sightings of different Flying Triangle craft. These objects are seen all around the world, and you can read of many other cases featuring similar objects outside of Birmingham. It should also be noted that the article states that the object flew over the heads of the witnesses, which is incorrect. It initially looked as though it would but then changed course and moved away from their location. Perhaps its occupants were aware they were being observed, or maybe decided that the brightly lit pub would expose them too much. We can only speculate as to why the craft was in the area in the first place. The FT moved away in the direction of Bromsgrove, so it is certainly possible that there were other witnesses who have yet to come forward. If you have any further information about this incident, or feel that you may have also seen the object, please get in touch.

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Originally forwarded by Richard Hall Release Date: 22/11/2011 Introduction In October 2003, the three Concorde aircraft landed at Heathrow airport for the last time. This was quite a big event for aviation enthusiasts and was covered live on daytime news. Ewan (name changed for privacy reasons) knew a UFO investigator from Quest International. After the Concorde footage aired on TV, Ewan was contacted by this investigator. The investigator told him that there were a number of unidentified aerial objects in the footage. He sent Ewan the footage for him to take a look at. Ewan spent a day going through this footage and slowing it down. He believed that some of the objects were nothing more than birds. However one particular object puzzled him. It is this object that forms the basis of this report. In February 2011, Ewan finally decided to get in touch with Richard Hall about the video footage, and subsequently it was passed on to me for analysis. Below are my findings. Video Analysis The video is from live TV and shows Concorde landing at Heathrow Airport on 24th October 2003. About 25 seconds into the footage, as the camera tracks the aircraft on its landing path, what appears to be a white cigar or flattened disc shaped object moves across the screen. It seems to be solid with a darker shadowed area at the base which suggests it has a curved surface. It appears to be in the distance behind Concorde rather than flying directly under it. Below is the video footage recorded off live TV. The object can be seen at 24 seconds into the footage: Here is a slowed down video showing the pass of the object: As you can see, interestingly the object appears to be either wobbling or perhaps even spinning as it moves along. In relation to how Concorde appears on the screen it is of course quite small, but certainly appears to be a solid object of some description. It is either white in colour, or could possibly be metallic and brightly reflecting sunlight. Still from the footage showing the object: 📷 Same still with enhancement: 📷 Zoomed still of the object: 📷 Zoomed still with edge find: 📷 I cannot put out of the question that the object is not a bird out of focus due to the camera focusing on the aircraft. Could the flapping of the bird’s wings be responsible for the wobbling effect seen? However to counteract this argument the object appears too defined and smooth edged to be a bird, and it retains its shape for the entire second that it is visible in the footage. If it was a bird we may expect to make out a rough bird shape which would alter in each frame rather than remain identical. Also the object is stationary, as it appears to be, then it is unlikely to be a bird. Unfortunately it is impossible to ascertain whether or not the object is moving because the camera is panning and there is nothing else in the background to compare it against. Other possibilities are that it is another distant aircraft or blimp, or a small lenticular cloud. Perhaps the wobbling motion was caused by camera shake. There is one anomaly within the video. In one frame when the object is about 1/3 of the way across the screen, there are smaller white “objects” seen to the left of it. These are not visible in the frames before or after. It is probable that they are caused by pixilation and nothing more, especially as they appear to be the same width and at the same height, but the video footage is quite clear, and is not at all grainy. Zoomed still of the object showing the anomaly: 📷 Same still with edge find: 📷 Conclusion Could this be a genuine ET craft which was inadvertently captured on video while Concorde was being filmed? This is a possibility worth considering and even though there are other possible mundane explanations it cannot be put out of the question. If it is a craft of some kind, did anyone aboard Concorde actually see it during their descent to the airport? Whatever it is, it certainly appeared to be a solid object rather than just a reflection on the camera lens. I have searched on-line but to my knowledge nobody else spotted the object in the TV footage. Though considering the occasion they probably had their eyes on other aerial objects!

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 18/07/2011 Most UFO sightings reported to BUFOG are of objects seen in the air by witnesses with their feet firmly on the ground. However occasionally we receive details of sightings which have taken place from on board aeroplane flights. It makes perfect sense that if UFOs are flying around our airspace they will sometimes be observed by pilots and passengers. This report covers an interesting sighting that took place over the French Alps in May 2011. It was reported to me via a member of BUFOG (you know who you are), after their friend related the story to them. Many thanks to them for finding out the majority of the information seen within this report. Sighting Details It was 7am on the morning of 10th May 2011. The witness, who we shall call Matthew for the purpose of this report, was on board flight BHX 525. The aircraft had set out from Birmingham International airport an hour earlier, and was now flying over the French Alps. It was a very clear sunny day, with only light cloud visible. Matthew was looking out of the aircraft window at the mountains below. Suddenly he saw a strange object ascending from below off to the left of the plane. The main body of the object was cigar shaped and white in colour. At the back it had what appeared to be a low tail and short fin-like wings sticking out. There was a black smoke vapour trail coming from the back of the object. It appeared to be an unusual craft of some kind. The main fuselage of the craft seemed to be about 30 feet in length and 3-6 feet wide. It was about 500-1000 metres away from the plane, and was rising fast at an extremely rapid speed. As it got close to the plane, the UFO suddenly veered off to the left seemingly to avoid a collision. After about 20 seconds it was lost from sight due to the view from the window. Witness drawing showing his view of the UFO and its black vapour trail from the window of the plane: 📷 The witness is not aware if anyone else on the plane saw the strange craft. Nobody else seemed to react to it or discuss it afterwards so he assumes not. It is unknown whether the craft was picked up on radar. Sighting Analysis The UFO in this sighting was clearly a controlled craft of some kind. I feel that the most likely explanation for what was seen was some kind of un-manned military drone which was being test flown in the area. The description of the object does fit in with it being one of these pilotless craft. Most military drones are white in colour, as the witness describes. They also tend to have short wings which are often positioned closer to the rear of the craft. Below are a couple of photographs of military drones for comparison: 📷 📷 The witness has drawn short wings and a taller tail right at the rear of the craft, but this could have perhaps been an optical illusion caused by the angle the craft was being viewed from. Also the fact there was a vapour trail coming from it point towards it being man-made rather than extraterrestrial. It was seemingly moving at a fast speed, but did not perform any manoeuvres which would suggest it was something more unusual. The fact that there was what appeared to be black smoke pouring from the rear of the craft suggests that it was perhaps having engine difficulties. Usually aircraft contrails are of course white in colour. At present this is all that is known about the incident, but I hope to speak to the witness directly in due course as well as find out further details about the flight. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2011

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

Birmingham UFO Group Case Report Author: Dave Hodrien Release Date: 12/12/2010 Sighting Details At 6.30am early in the morning of 27th November 2010, Julian Andreano and his girlfriend Michelle were about to get some sleep after staying up most of the night watching DVDs at Julian’s house on Renfrew Close, Wordsley. It was still dark, and just before getting into bed, Julian pulled back the blind on the bedroom window to peer outside. He looked out over the back garden of the house. It was a clear but cold morning with frost on the ground, and the moon was visible in the sky. Aerial map of Renfrew Close: 📷 Suddenly Julian noticed a light enter his view from the window to the left. He looked and saw what appeared to be a spherical shaped object with flames running through it. The object was about 40 feet in the air and was about 50 feet from his location. It was moving on a straight level course at about 20-30 mph, heading in an Easterly direction. Julian called Michelle to come and have a look at the object. She walked across the room and looked out. By this time Julian had been watching it for about 10 seconds. Michelle just about caught sight of the object when suddenly it massively increased in acceleration and shot away, increasing in altitude as it went. Julian estimates it moved at over 500 mph. Within 8 seconds it was a dot on the horizon and vanished out of sight. Witness drawing of the UFO and the route it took: 📷 The couple discussed what they had just seen. Julian felt privileged and excited to have seen such a thing. He felt that it was definitely something out of this world. Later in the morning he spoke of the sighting with his parents, who believed him and were as intrigued by it as he was. Sighting Analysis This is a very interesting sighting due to the manoeuvres displayed by the object. Usually sightings of orange or fiery orbs of light can be put down to Chinese lanterns. However the object seen in this case does not appear to have been a lantern due to the massive increase in speed that it suddenly performed. Even if it was caught in a strong gust of wind it would not have moved at the speed described by the witnesses. It also appeared to be quite close to the witnesses’ location, if it was a lantern this would have been quite obvious. The time the object was seen at also suggests it wasn’t a lantern. It is possible that one could be launched at this time of course, but usually lanterns would be launched from celebrations either late evening or in the early hours of the morning, not just before sunrise. As it was moving quite slow at the start of the sighting it cannot have been a meteorite. It was clearly not a conventional aircraft or helicopter. It is very unlikely to have been an earth light, as these do not appear over populated areas. Could the object have been a genuine advanced craft of some kind, perhaps an unmanned scouting craft? I feel that this is a possibility that must be considered in this case, due to the points mentioned above. Perhaps the flames seen were some kind of energy field around it, or perhaps it was actually burning hot. But there is still the chance that it was a lantern and that it appeared to be moving much faster than it in reality was. We will probably never know for certain, and due to the time of morning the sighting occurred at it is unlikely there were many, if any, other witnesses to it. Julian has also had a sighting of a light grey sphere in June 2021. Click here to go to the case report. Copyright Dave Hodrien 2010
