The following events will be etched in the memories of two
scottish families for the rest of their lives. The experience has
ultimately left them bewildered and deeply traumatized, to the
extent that they are afraid to sleep alone at night. Now in need
of counselling, they have requested that personal details are not
released to preserve their privacy, as they have no wish for any
publicity.
One finds
it difficult to question the honesty or integrity of the witnesses
in this case, the trauma and fear suffered by the adults and their
children alike bear witness to their credibility. Prior to the
incident, the witnesses had no knowledge or interest in the UFO
subject and earnestly believed that anyone who did, was
ill-informed. The story involves two adults; Mary and Jane and
their children, Peter 10, and Susan 14, respectively.

Reports...
On 23
September both families were together at Jane's house when they
found that they had run out of coffee. At 8.00pm Mary and Jane,
accompanied by Peter, decided to drive to a late night shop a few
miles away in the next village, a journey which would take them
along a number of remote country roads. It was a dry, dark clear
night and they chatted happily away about the events of the day.
Mary, who
was driving, became aware of some very bright white beams of light
which were emanating from the sky and flooding the field below.
She said, "where are those lights coming from?"
As they
approached the lights, the witnesses looked out of the car windows
and saw two very powerful beams of white light coming from a dark
stationary object in the sky. At that point Jane commented, "It
must be an aeroplane."
Curiosity
soon got the better of them and Mary stopped the car. The field
and a nearby plantation of trees were illuminated like daylight.
The object in the sky started to move and the two bright white
lights dimmed then went out. Moments later, their eyes having
adjusted to the light, the witnesses observed the underside of a
'huge' triangular craft which they estimated was not less than 80
yards across. The witnesses watched the object slowly bank and
turn revealing a large dome on the top. On the underside they
could now see a cluster of three small red lights on each apex of
the object. Suddenly the engines of an approaching aircraft were
heard and the triangle moved away at speed until they could only
see a very small red light in the far distance. The witnesses then
got back into the car and carried on to their destination. During
the journey they discussed the importance of informing somebody of
their sighting, but had no idea who to contact. When they arrived
at the shop, Jane, who was browsing through the magazine rack saw
a copy of UFO Magazine. They noticed a telephone number of a UFO
group and decided to make call.
Returning
homewards they again arrived at the location of their sighting at
approximately 8.30pm, and stopped the vehicle. A very small red
light was still visible in the sky in the distance. Suddenly it
'shot' across the sky towards them, 'as if aware of their
presence'. Again the giant triangle appeared, only on this
occasion without the powerful white floodlights. Peter started
screaming with fear and the women, although shocked, tried to
comfort him. The object suddenly moved away again to its original
position in the sky.
By the
time they arrive home, the witnesses were quite shaken by what
they had seen and hurriedly telephoned the UFO hotline. The
researchers advised them to try and get a set of binoculars and a
camera and go back to the location in an effort to obtain
pictures. They possessed neither.
They
conversed about the events, but Susan, who had been at home
throughout the evening refused to believe them and asked to be
taken to the area. Following a lengthy discussion they decided to
return to the scene, this time taking Susan. Mary however was a
little reluctant to take Peter, but he too insisted on making the
journey, the time was now 9.45pm. As they reached the area a very
powerful blue glow appeared in a field, somewhat above tree-top
height. In order to get a better look they drove down a narrow
lane and parked the vehicle, leaving the car lights on and the
engine running.
A large
star-like object was visible just above the blue glow and was
pulsing and growing larger and smaller alternately. They described
it as giving off spikes and coloured beams of light shooting up
into the air (red, blue and green lights were reported).
Suddenly
they noticed the silhouettes of numerous small thin figures which
were obviously not human, moving about, one figure however was
much taller than the others, around seven feet tall. Other small
beings moved in amongst the trees of the plantation.
A large
black object sat on the ground, but it was impossible to determine
its shape. The figures appeared to be moving towards the object.
By now the observers had seen enough and became extremely
frightened, quickly finding an appropriate place to turn the
vehicle around.
As they
arrived at Jane's house, her brother called on his way home from
work. When the story was related, he offered to lend them a set of
binoculars. They decided to go back and see if the activity was
still taking place, and collected the binoculars en-route.
As they
again approached the location they noticed the blue light was
still glowing. Even with their naked eyes they were still able to
see the little beings moving in and out of the trees. They could
also see one of the very tall beings with its back to them. As
Jane looked through the binoculars she kept repeating, "Oh my God,
you want to see this. Oh my God, Oh my God." She passed the
binoculars to Mary who could now see the star-like object in the
sky more clearly. She described the object as being amber in
color, with dark indentations all around it. It was rotating
slowly and occasionally tilting on its axis. Dozens of small
creatures apparently carrying small boxes and tubular cannisters
were visible. The taller figures appeared to have brown skin and
oriental eyes, and seemed to be supervising a large group of the
beings. At this time Susan and Peter also had a look through the
binoculars to confirm the observation and were shaken by what they
saw. The binoculars were then returned to Jane who made the
following statement.
"At this
time I could see one big star which at first thought was on the
ground, it was a large transparent illuminated capsule-type thing,
rippled on the outside with indentations like a brain. There were
some very small thin beings inside it. Next to this capsule was
another smaller one, otherwise identical to the first one. This
one contained a very tall being with brown skin, the capsule was
moving - slowly rotating. I then looked toward the ground and saw
the big craft we had first seen, it appeared to be on the ground
near the woods. There were lots of lights around it and dozens of
these small entities who appeared to be working in groups. They
were going in and out of the woods. They appeared to be putting
things on the ground and picking things up from the ground. Each
group was carrying small boxes and cannisters between the woods
and the craft.
"I saw
other capsules which looked like cocoons coming out from the
trees, they suddenly shot across the field to where we were
standing. I was very frightened and started screaming. The objects
were quite close to us by this time and we could see that each
capsule contained one of the small entities. They were no more
than four feet from us and there were dozens of them in front of
us. Then pandemonium broke out - Mary, Peter and Susan were
screaming. I vaguely remember shouting, 'lets get the hell out of
here', and we eventually drove back home, terrified by the events
we had witnessed.
"Later it
was strange because I started to remember things and somehow felt
that they had taken us towards their craft. I remember this place,
it was very bright, I couldn't move and they were doing things to
me. They didn't hurt me so I felt happy. The little ones were
smiling at me with their big eyes, and taking things from me,
these they gave to a tall being. He touched them with a long
probe-like rod. The little creatures were around four to five feet
tall, there was nothing human about them at all. The tall one had
a nose and very slanted eyes - oriental like. There was no obvious
sex gender, nor did I see a body shape or waistline. They did have
two arms and legs, and when they communicated they made strange
noises - high pitched noises like whales. I didn't hear them
talking, it just 'happened' in my head.
"I don't
think they enjoyed what they were doing, it was just work., they
seemed very efficient, and knew exactly what they were doing. When
we got home I was frightened and kept asking Mary, hoping she
would tell me that I had imagined the whole thing.
"Mary had
witnessed the whole thing and confirmed that it had really
happened. I was so disturbed by the whole thing that I was afraid
to sleep alone and we all ended up in the same bedroom that night,
with the lights on. I was so scared and feared having a nervous
breakdown, in fact I hoped I was having a nervous breakdown,
because I couldn't cope.
"The craft
was triangular in shape with a dome on the top. It had two giant
white lights which shone beams onto the ground. When the big
lights went off I could see small red lights on each point of the
triangle.
The small
beings had very big dark eyes and their heads look too big for
their bodies. They didn't appear to have mouths. I don't know how
I know, but they must have told me that the small aliens are
workers for the tall brown ones.
Mary then
related her story:
"We could see the bright blue light coming from the trees. Even
with our naked eyes we were able to see a very tall being with its
back to us, because everything was lit up. There seemed to be a
small orange ball of light on the ground next to him. At this time
Jane had the binoculars and she kept saying, 'Oh my God, Oh my God
you want to see this'. She eventually passed the binoculars to me
and I was amazed to see that star-like object we had been watching
was amber colour, with dark indentations all round it.
"There was
a lot of activity involving the small creatures in the wood. At
one point a very tall dark skinned oriental looking man who seemed
to be in charge, walked over to where the little ones were
working. I focused the binoculars on the nearby trees and saw
another tall being, he was watching the small beings who were
running around, carrying small boxes and tubular objects. They
seemed to be taking these to the craft on the ground. We then let
Susan and Peter have a look through the binoculars so they could
confirm our observation. Jane took the binoculars, and said, 'Oh
my God they're coming out of the woods, there are hundreds of
them'. Susan shouted, 'they're coming across the field towards
us'. By this time I was panicking and disorientated and saw what I
thought were a lot of bales in front of me. Susan said, 'they are
not bales they are pods with aliens inside, they're here in front
of us'. Jane screamed, 'let's get the hell out of here'. I hastily
put the car in gear and drove away very fast. I never realised at
the time that the bales were transparent cocoon things and at the
last minute we were totally surrounded by them. I remember that
the small beings were very thin and had heads which seemed to be
too big for their bodies.
"We
arrived home badly shaken and in deep shock, Jane and I were
crying and trying to come to terms with what we had witnessed,
none of us got any sleep. This went on for several days.
"The
effects of these incidents will always be with us. There is no
doubt in our minds about what we saw and we do not want any
publicity whatsoever."
Susan and
Peter, related similar stories and described in detail how the
final confrontation took place.
Mary said,
"we were sitting in the car with the windows open, watching the
coloured lights, Jane had the binoculars, when suddenly dozens of
the bubble-like things came out of the woods and flew across the
field towards us. I screamed, 'they're coming over here' and we
all started to panic and scream. Then all these bubbles were all
around us, about four feet away from us in the air, they never
moved. They were all alike, we could see through them and each one
of them had one of these small creatures inside. They had big
black eyes and big heads. They seemed to have smooth bodies and
strange deceiving mouths.
"We are
still very frightened and would all now like to forget everything
that happened."
Field
investigator Brian Rooney, interviewed the witnesses and revisited
the scene of the incidents. He found areas of burnt grass and
apparent pressure marks on the ground. Some of the marks were semi
circular in shape, burnt and dead grass were also evident.
Branches of nearby trees were covered in what appeared to be white
spider web-type material, but he conceded that this could be
normal spider web. The bushes were totally covered with the
material as if it had been blasted up against the bushes.
Samples
have been taken, which included burnt wood and grass. Brian was
certain that something had been on the ground. There was no access
to motor vehicles and the country road was about two hundred yards
from the scene. He accordingly took photographs including the
location where the witnesses had parked their car.
I have
spoken to the families on many occasions and even now they are
reduced to tears when talking about it.
I would be
very interested in hearing how the Ministry of Defence would
explain such an occurrence and I fail to believe that cases of
such significance would be of no interest to the MoD or the
scientific community. Time alone will be the judge of the veracity
of events such as this and the recent massive upsurge in reports
of these huge triangular objects, would indicate, that we are
closer than ever to that time.
Our
grateful thanks to our Scottish Field Investigator Brian Rooney
who did such splendid work at the scene and assisted me throughout
this investigation. He is now expertly counselling the families
concerned - being qualified to do so by virtue of his profession.
