1
00:00:03,110 --> 00:00:02,149
one ordinary day

2
00:00:06,869 --> 00:00:03,120
i

3
00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:06,879
from work and my two sons

4
00:00:10,709 --> 00:00:08,720
went to cypher to school and i was

5
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:10,719
getting changed and

6
00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:13,360
i heard this terrific noise it was just

7
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:16,080
like a giant cauldron of water being

8
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:19,680
poured onto a fire ash sort of noise you

9
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,480
know

10
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:22,240
and my first reaction was oh the

11
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,000
children i thought maybe a plane was

12
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:26,160
crashing or something like that

13
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:27,840
and i

14
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:30,400
slipped my jumper on and went outside to

15
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:33,040
find my two sons lying flat on the

16
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,800
ground in the garden in front of the

17
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:36,719
house shouting mommy mommy there's a

18
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:39,840
flying saucer well naturally i

19
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:42,800
just said come on don't be stupid

20
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:45,200
come in the house but felt

21
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:47,520
sort of a strange sensation

22
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,719
uh

23
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:50,079
went in my way

24
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:51,840
up the side of the house to where we had

25
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,920
a pump where we used to get all our

26
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,360
water from

27
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:57,199
and

28
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:00,719
automatically looked up to see this

29
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,439
all i can describe this huge mexican hat

30
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,680
it was stationary this thing

31
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:10,240
and it was bright silver in color and it

32
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,520
had a dome a dome it was tilted

33
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,200
to sort of

34
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,600
i could see the occupants in it you saw

35
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,439
people in it i saw people in it there

36
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,360
were two people in there

37
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,520
um

38
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,439
these people

39
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,200
were beautiful people that's the only

40
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:31,360
way i can just describe them

41
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,320
um

42
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,119
they had long golden hair like a page

43
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,840
page boy bob just like the old kings

44
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:39,520
you used to see photographs of the old

45
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,479
kings

46
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,920
and the the colour of the hair was

47
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:42,960
golden

48
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,399
now

49
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,040
i was really out there just they

50
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,680
they had a sort of a pull neck jumper

51
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:51,439
affair like a skeet

52
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:52,960
top suit

53
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,640
in pale blue

54
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,840
now

55
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,920
these people weren't sat behind one

56
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,840
behind the other they were sat together

57
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:01,759
but this whatever it was

58
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,960
was tilted so that i could see them and

59
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:06,880
they could see me were you looking at

60
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:08,959
them through windows through portholes

61
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,440
no not portholes it was just sort of the

62
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,840
like a cockpit i suppose

63
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:17,920
that had this

64
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:20,000
perspective or glass or whatever it was

65
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:21,599
they could see me anyway and i could see

66
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,800
them

67
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,480
and um they were

68
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,239
they had beautiful faces i shall never

69
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:28,640
forget their faces as long as i live

70
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:31,519
their foreheads seem to be a bit larger

71
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:32,640
than

72
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,599
you know

73
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:36,000
the the bottom of their faces as as

74
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,680
normal people

75
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,000
you would expect to see

76
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,160
but maybe this is what was just the

77
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:44,400
whatever they had around their heads

78
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,160
which was like a transparent fishbowl

79
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,319
and they just looked and i was

80
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:52,080
absolutely paralytic with fear i

81
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,680
couldn't move although my mind was

82
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,239
ticking over

83
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:59,760
and they looked so sympathetic

84
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,480
that

85
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:02,959
i was just mesmerized for what seemed to

86
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,840
be oh ages but it could have only been

87
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,920
seconds

88
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,480
and i turned to sort of look down at the

89
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:12,640
boys

90
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,040
was unaware that they were with me

91
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,040
because i was so absorbed

92
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:19,599
and the next thing i looked up and it

93
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,360
was gone how low had it been it had been

94
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,599
the the height i couldn't tell you but

95
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:27,680
the house that you've seen it was just

96
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,239
on top of the roof it was hovering on

97
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:32,799
top of the roof how big was it compared

98
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,879
with the size of the house it's it

99
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:37,200
swallowed the the whole circumference of

100
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,400
of the roof

101
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,920
i couldn't see the roof was completely

102
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,200
blotted out

103
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,200
the chimneys i couldn't see all i could

104
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,200
see was this massive

105
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:46,720
uh object

106
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,080
that i described as a like a mexican's

107
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,080
house a mexican hat without the bubbles

108
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,760
and then it flew away sideways or

109
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:55,200
upwards no

110
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,319
i didn't see

111
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:58,720
i just looked up and there's a gun but i

112
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,599
assume it went straight up because for a

113
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,920
short while after in the sky i looked

114
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,239
around and i said to my two boys

115
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:07,760
where can you see anything can you say

116
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,439
anything in the sederitis mum and they

117
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,439
pointed up and i watched it it was just

118
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:13,599
like a little cotton meal in the sky and

119
00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:16,720
it circles three times it went round

120
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,280
three times and then it just shut off

121
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:20,959
and that was it

122
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,360
when i started to analyze my

123
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,040
myself afterwards

124
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,280
i feared that i might have had a and

125
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,040
hallucination

126
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,040
but then i knew i i hadn't had because

127
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,720
my sons were so

128
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,800
sure about what they'd seen and what i'd

129
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:36,240
seen

130
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:37,280
and

131
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,880
i went it went through mind that it was

132
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,800
a secret uh weapon from russia and then

133
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,320
i thought well it can't be that because

134
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:44,000
they had something like that

135
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:45,280
they wouldn't need to fear anybody or

136
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,720
anything

137
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,240
were you scared by it did you run

138
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,440
indoors i was petrified i couldn't move

139
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:53,360
i couldn't move a muscle i was paralyzed

140
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,830
but um

141
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:00,240
now i wouldn't be

142
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:01,520
because now

143
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,479
when i look back you know i think

144
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,320
what what what an amazing thing to have

145
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:09,039
happened and for me to have seen it

146
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,639
and when your husband came home where

147
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:12,560
were you well when my husband came home

148
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,320
from the office i was locked

149
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,240
in the house with my children

150
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,240
under a big kitchen table that we were

151
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,840
using under the table onto the table yes

152
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:23,600
it's funny now when i look back you know

153
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,240
it sounds absolutely ridiculous but this

154
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,639
is the truth this happened

155
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,320
and

156
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,240
that's it

157
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:34,000
we were ridiculed it was very

158
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,720
embarrassing at the time and people

159
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:38,720
they they possibly thought oh she's a

160
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:41,520
nutter but you know who cares

161
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,160
this is something that's happened to me

162
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,880
and i'm a practically minded person

163
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:48,080
and

164
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,550
it was on a an october day the 25th of

165
00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,800
october in 1954

166
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,400
i was in the back kitchen of the house

167
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:03,120
preparing myself just having washed

168
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:07,039
and i heard this noise now it was just

169
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:08,720
like a

170
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:10,880
a giant cauldron of water being poured

171
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,120
onto a red hot fire but if you can

172
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:15,199
imagine a thousand times

173
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,319
louder

174
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:18,639
and my first reaction was the children i

175
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,039
must get out there's a plane crashing

176
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,680
so i slipped on my jumper i run out

177
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,000
i ran out through the side entrance of

178
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:28,960
the house towards the front garden

179
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,319
to look for them coming across the

180
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,880
fields and to my amazement

181
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,560
they're suspended

182
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,800
on the top of the roof

183
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:38,080
of this

184
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,560
old farm

185
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,479
was this

186
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:45,440
object that i can only describe as a

187
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,720
huge

188
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:49,440
mexican hat it was that shape without

189
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,950
it

190
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,880
must have been

191
00:07:00,790 --> 00:06:57,199
15 to 20 yards

192
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:02,390
it covered the roof

193
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:04,400
so in circumference it must have been

194
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,000
about 60 feet it was it was enormous

195
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:10,400
the people in the spacecraft were just

196
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,880
looking out i could see them from the

197
00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,080
waist

198
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:16,639
to the top of their heads

199
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,680
they were very beautiful people they had

200
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:21,680
long golden hair

201
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:23,759
like the old kings used to wear turned

202
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:25,039
under

203
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:27,039
they had a very vivid

204
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:28,080
blue

205
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,840
like ski

206
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:31,759
top affair

207
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:34,080
on and they just looked

208
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,680
at us

209
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:37,759
their eyes

210
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:41,599
of compassion

211
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:43,039
and then

212
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,440
all of a sudden

213
00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:47,840
i felt the tension leaving me

214
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:50,319
and i felt movement and i turned around

215
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:52,560
to touch my children and when i looked

216
00:07:57,830 --> 00:07:55,440
again it was gone

217
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,840
now we stood there and i said to the

218
00:08:02,309 --> 00:08:00,240
boys did you see what i seen

219
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:02,319
yes mummy yes i said well where is it

220
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:03,840
it's gone

221
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:05,599
and we looked

222
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:06,479
and

223
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:10,800
watched it in the sky just like a cotton

224
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:13,599
reel circle round the farm three times

225
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:15,039
and then

226
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:36,709
would that be why the gavin gibbons when

227
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,399
he did the illustration

228
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,360
i think it was a ufo news or something

229
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:43,599
that that was a lot thinner in the face

230
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:51,590
sorry about that

231
00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:53,200
so we're uh

232
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:54,959
dawn's interrupting

233
00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,640
with a cup of tea come on they're dawn

234
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,880
the saucer was no longer there but a few

235
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:03,120
minutes later we saw it circle the house

236
00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,399
three times

237
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,399
before a shot up was like a rocket
