birch

11
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:37,920
i'm a 75 year old who not only has had

12
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,000
close encounters with ufos but i came

13
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,760
face to face with two of the occupants

14
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:43,440
when i was age 19.

15
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,440
another nut case many might remark if

16
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:47,200
not to my face rest or should i have

17
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,960
after all no witness to that encounter

18
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,480
that took place here in the uk

19
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,079
as my brother dennis departed these

20
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:54,960
shores to live in australia in 1969.

21
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,399
he would however attest to that which

22
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:58,239
took place 10 years earlier on the first

23
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:00,320
sunday of january 1959

24
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:01,760
because he shared that terrifying

25
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:04,080
encounter with me my family members are

26
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,920
fully aware of what my brother den and i

27
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:07,920
experienced that traumatic early morning

28
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,560
hour

29
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:10,320
because i have reiterated that account

30
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,920
of that mind-blowing experience

31
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,520
countless times since

32
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,759
it happened at approximately 200 hours

33
00:01:19,789 --> 00:01:17,520
when den and i were on route home along

34
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,799
the a3 route from portsmouth on dennis

35
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:20,960
125

36
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:24,240
ccbs a bantam motorcycle he had taken

37
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,200
our younger brother

38
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:27,200
rob back to his royal marine barracks

39
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:28,400
near portsmouth

40
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:30,240
both rob and i were serving in the royal

41
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,240
marines and our two weeks christmas

42
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:34,079
leave had overlapped one and others by

43
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:34,720
one week

44
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:39,040
mine i had taken rob's railway warrant

45
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,640
which i was entitled to as a fellow

46
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,560
royal marine to meet both brothers at

47
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,640
portsmouth and south sea railway station

48
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:46,320
dennis having taken rob there on the

49
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,840
pinion of his motorbike

50
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,840
my intention was to say goodbye to rob

51
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:51,759
at the station and then to return home

52
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,720
with dennis

53
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,720
i had little else to do and i welcomed

54
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:56,000
the ride in the company

55
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,680
i remember that night the brother was at

56
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,360
the station when i arrived there and i

57
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:01,439
had to wait some time before den turned

58
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,920
up

59
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,920
his motorbike had incurred a front tire

60
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,520
puncture although i have a feeling that

61
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:07,119
i was late arriving at portsmouth and

62
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,080
south sea railway

63
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,319
station through some delay or other when

64
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:12,080
i'd last met up with then he told me

65
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:13,680
that rob had continued onward to his

66
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,239
barracks

67
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,920
as he had to be there by three minutes

68
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,360
to midnight thus

69
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:19,280
i mounted the pigeon of den's motorbike

70
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:20,400
well after midnight

71
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,400
and very soon we left portsmouth far

72
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,400
behind i remember that it was bitter

73
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,319
cold and i clung behind my brother's

74
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:28,239
body to shield myself from that bitter

75
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,120
cold air

76
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:31,120
i wore only a light blue summer jacket

77
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,040
and light formed summer trousers

78
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:35,120
aside from my uniform i possessed few

79
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,480
civilian clothes

80
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,360
thus we rode along the a3 i was silent

81
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:41,280
alone with thoughts of my own return to

82
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,000
my rm

83
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:44,400
barracks a week later conversing was out

84
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,440
of the question

85
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,360
even shouting loudly was ineffective in

86
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,120
the slipstream as we sped along

87
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:50,879
the whole route was bereft of traffic

88
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,879
and eventually we found ourselves riding

89
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:54,160
around the perimeter of the devil's

90
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,599
punch ball at hind head

91
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:57,680
at one point as we were almost about to

92
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,879
leave the ball behind

93
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,720
so den suddenly steered the motorbike

94
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,640
onto the grass and the engine cut

95
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,879
problem dennis assured me there wasn't a

96
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,560
problem but that it was a good spot to

97
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:08,640
take a breather and to spend a penny

98
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,319
so we stood there on the swathe of grass

99
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,080
overlooking the deep ball-shaped valley

100
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,519
stretching away before us

101
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:15,200
the sounds of the wind of the motorbike

102
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,800
engine took several minutes to disperse

103
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,560
from ours and it was good to get some

104
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,560
respite from that bitter cold wind

105
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,239
then as the ghost sound of wind and

106
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:24,400
engine dispersed so we noticed a strange

107
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:25,920
sound emanating from down in the punch

108
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,799
bowl itself

109
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,640
a sound impossible to describe except

110
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,840
maybe that it was almost

111
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,519
musical to the is like the azdek of a

112
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:33,280
submarine and yet at the same time

113
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,640
really nothing like it

114
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:36,400
we had never heard such a weird sound

115
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:37,920
before and there was nothing with which

116
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:39,440
to otherwise compare it

117
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:41,040
puzzled and exceedingly curious we

118
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:42,480
elected to make our way down into the

119
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,840
punch bowl to discover the source of

120
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:45,040
that mysterious sound

121
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,879
there was an initial very steep slope of

122
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,959
maybe 30 feet or so that we were obliged

123
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,720
to descend on our backsides

124
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:52,239
then with then leading the way we were

125
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,840
able to continue on downwards along a

126
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:55,360
belly discernable but more gently

127
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:56,400
descending track

128
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,159
how long we were making our way steadily

129
00:04:01,429 --> 00:04:00,000
deeper i don't know but we were quite a

130
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,439
long way down there and to me the weird

131
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,040
musical sound was becoming ever more

132
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,879
mysterious and much louder as we came

133
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,319
closer to its source

134
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:08,159
what's more as we drew closer to that

135
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,920
source i developed a strong sense of

136
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:12,080
unease that persisted as we proceeded

137
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:14,239
soon afterwards den stopped abruptly and

138
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,439
turned to me to express

139
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:17,440
that he had a bad feeling and added i

140
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,959
think we should turn back

141
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,560
looking back in the direction of whence

142
00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:22,240
we had come i could see that it we had

143
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:23,600
in fact travelled an uncomfortable

144
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:24,479
distance away

145
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:26,160
and in hushed tones i readily agreed

146
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,840
with my brother that maybe we should

147
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,120
indeed turn back

148
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:31,040
literally at that precise moment before

149
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,400
we had even turned around

150
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,320
they came a sudden momentarily silences

151
00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,320
that weird sound abruptly ceased

152
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,080
what occurred next is equally difficult

153
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:39,919
to describe there was a sound

154
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,759
almost like that of displaced air i can

155
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,600
explain it no better than that

156
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,600
then this sound rose vertically into the

157
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:47,520
air very close to where we stood

158
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,720
we both dropped to the ground

159
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:50,320
instinctively in an effort to silhouette

160
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,680
the object against that brilliant

161
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,800
backdrop of stars

162
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,560
but we saw nothing even though we were

163
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,240
able to follow the path of travel by the

164
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,840
strange sound it was emitting

165
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,680
it appeared to travel somehow away to

166
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:01,440
our right and then swooped back around

167
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,960
to head back towards us

168
00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,880
the terrific crash that ensued as it

169
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,479
struck the ground was deafening and

170
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,240
ought to have been heard as far away as

171
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,320
guilford my thoughts at that time

172
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,840
it had me comparing it to that of a

173
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:13,600
large airliner crash landing

174
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:15,120
they then followed the distinct loud

175
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,560
sound of scrub being flattened in its

176
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:18,000
path as it seemed to skid along under

177
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,759
the inertia of its descent and then to

178
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:21,280
finally come to a stop some little

179
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:21,919
distance

180
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,720
maybe 20 to 30 feet in front of us i

181
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,560
clearly have etched into my mind

182
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,320
a distinct memory of the noise of thin

183
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:30,240
branches or scrubs scraping along an

184
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,000
obviously metallic fuselage

185
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,840
followed by the final scraping sound as

186
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,360
that branch broke free

187
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:37,680
a flying object of some sort had come to

188
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:38,400
a halt

189
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:40,000
i stood staring at the bushes from where

190
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,080
the sound of that crash landing had come

191
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,160
i we had seen nothing and yet this

192
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,919
flying object by the very sound it made

193
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:47,680
as it hit the ground indicated a large

194
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,759
exceedingly heavy if invisible craft and

195
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:51,360
in my head the word ufo was at the

196
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,320
forefront

197
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:54,320
then almost immediately my attention was

198
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:55,759
drawn to something approaching us from

199
00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:57,919
the direction that the ufo had landed

200
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,919
i stayed ahead my mind struggling to

201
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,240
believe what was actually taking place

202
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:04,479
then it emerged i will describe what we

203
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,560
saw as best to my memory is possible for

204
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:08,160
i was overcome by a feeling of sheer

205
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,720
terror

206
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,560
this figure stood some eight to ten feet

207
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,240
tall it appeared to glide

208
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,400
rather than to walk it also appeared to

209
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:16,240
be floating some two feet or so off the

210
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,880
ground

211
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,880
it stopped in front of me so close that

212
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,720
i could have touched it i was literally

213
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:22,319
paralyzed with fear and adrenaline

214
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:24,160
rushed so great that it had an opposite

215
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,639
effect

216
00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:26,880
and i stood there transfixed unable to

217
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,919
move then

218
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,840
a second figure identical to the first

219
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,840
glided out from the same direction and

220
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,360
stood to the left of the first one

221
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,759
as viewed from my position both figures

222
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,440
seemed to be floating off the ground and

223
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:38,720
had seemed to glide

224
00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,639
the body seemed composed of some sort of

225
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,639
black material that was convoluted with

226
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:44,240
like lengthwise false

227
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,919
the head was encased in an elongated

228
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:47,759
glass helmet and where the eyes would be

229
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:49,599
was a single large round shaped green

230
00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:51,759
eye or light today i would liken it to a

231
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,800
large led

232
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,639
light emitting diode but i am not so

233
00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,120
sure such devices existed at that time

234
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:59,199
mercifully i felt i could not see the

235
00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:01,039
features behind the glass but i had an

236
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,639
uncanny and distinct feeling that i

237
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:04,560
won't want to see behind the glass

238
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,280
anyway

239
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,039
i am unable to clearly describe my

240
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:08,800
feelings except for one thought within

241
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:10,560
the sheer terror that overwhelmed me

242
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,720
this cannot be happening but it is

243
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:14,000
amazingly thoughts of those in

244
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:15,520
government would not believe what is

245
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:17,120
happening to me right now but they are

246
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:18,479
fast asleep in their beds

247
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:20,160
and not hearing this punchbowl with me

248
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,520
seeing what i am seeing

249
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:23,840
i clearly recall those thoughts i seem

250
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,120
to remember something else

251
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,599
a sickly odor was this the odor of fear

252
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:29,599
or did it come from those two aliens

253
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:31,919
i truthfully do not know such thoughts

254
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,639
were fleeting

255
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,160
coming to me in a moment of utmost

256
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:36,160
terror my second thought was of the

257
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:37,680
sudden need to look at another human

258
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:40,000
being and almost in slow motion and with

259
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,440
great concentration of effort

260
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,199
i managed to turn my head left the look

261
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:45,360
of my brother one left when he had been

262
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:46,720
standing on my right

263
00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:48,879
i'm at a loss to explain that one the

264
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:50,879
two aliens stood a mere few feet away

265
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,560
within touching distance

266
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,879
utilizing all my concentration i slowly

267
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,960
so very slowly and mechanically managed

268
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,000
to turn my head to look

269
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:00,160
upon my brother the second shock now

270
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:01,840
struck me as i saw that i was standing

271
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,720
there alone

272
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,720
the shock of this realization galvanized

273
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:06,720
my hitherto paralyzed body into sudden

274
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:07,120
action

275
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,560
and turning my body to face the

276
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:10,160
direction that i was facing for the

277
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,919
thought came to me that if i looked back

278
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,759
at them again i would not escape

279
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:16,080
i then ran that headlong terra stricken

280
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,599
flight was like a nightmare in itself

281
00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:19,280
because i was expecting to be ceased

282
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:20,240
from behind

283
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,759
my thought was that i would surely not

284
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:23,440
be allowed to escape after what i had

285
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:24,400
just witnessed

286
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:26,240
i had no sense of direction at all i

287
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,759
remember only that my one and only

288
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:29,280
desperate thought was to put as much

289
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:30,720
distance between me and them and as

290
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:31,440
possible

291
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:33,519
i ran seemingly blindly and i could

292
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:35,279
plainly hear high pitched screaming as i

293
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:35,839
ran

294
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,760
those screams seem to be apart from me

295
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,279
but may well have come from me

296
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:41,440
i truly don't know all i remember was

297
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:43,200
that headlong panic stricken flight is

298
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,560
running in a nightmare and the full

299
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:46,240
expectancy that i would not be allowed

300
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,120
to escape

301
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,279
the next images i ran so blindly was of

302
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,120
finding myself inexplicably at the base

303
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:53,120
of the 30-foot steep incline that we had

304
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,399
initially descended

305
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,320
how did i in that panic stricken flight

306
00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:58,000
managed to find my way back to where we

307
00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,760
had descended into the punch ball

308
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:01,839
i wasn't unable to explain that one

309
00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:04,000
either there ahead of me and scrubbing

310
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:06,080
up that steeping climb was my brother

311
00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:07,760
i had caught up with him and in later

312
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:09,200
years he told me that he was on a rise

313
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:10,560
before reaching that incline

314
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,839
and that when he looked back to check

315
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:13,440
that i was with him he saw to his horror

316
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,720
that i was still standing at the

317
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:16,560
original spot with two aliens clearly

318
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,920
seen towing over me

319
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,600
by the time he had scaled that steep

320
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:21,279
incline i had caught him up

321
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:23,279
he must have seen me but seconds before

322
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:24,720
i had turned and fled

323
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,800
as a very fit young royal marine and at

324
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,640
the same time fueled with sheer panic i

325
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,640
can answer that one quite clearly

326
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,720
as we fevishly tried to climb that steep

327
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,320
incline so we would slip back down a

328
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,399
foot for every three we made upwards

329
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:38,720
eventually we made the top then mounted

330
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:39,519
his motorbike

331
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,200
kick-started it and i leapt onto the

332
00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:43,360
pillion the way we sped in great haste

333
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:45,279
even as we rode at speed along that road

334
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:46,959
i was half expecting to be seized and

335
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:48,720
pulled off that motorbike and i clung

336
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,600
tenaciously

337
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,839
my arms around my brother's waist i

338
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:53,519
remember that just before we reached the

339
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,440
city of guilford 11 miles on

340
00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,600
then pulled over and cut the engine a

341
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:59,839
tall long ash fence lay close to us and

342
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,279
against this we dropped onto our

343
00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:03,040
haunches unable to believe what had

344
00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:03,519
happened

345
00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:05,279
and how we had escaped a fate worse than

346
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:07,279
death i remember nothing more after

347
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,040
collapsing against that fence

348
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:11,040
i haven't memory of arriving home not

349
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,720
even of the rest of my leave

350
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:14,480
i do not to this day remember returning

351
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:16,079
to my barracks and all of the intense

352
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,200
training that followed

353
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:19,040
i have hitherto told no one outside of

354
00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:20,399
the family of our experience of the

355
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:22,000
punchbowl that never to be forgotten

356
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:22,720
night

357
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:24,800
strangely i never forgave my brother for

358
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,079
deserting me down there

359
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,000
for three years i had no contact with

360
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:30,079
him then i heard that my brother was in

361
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:32,079
an isolation hospital at falcon where he

362
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:33,680
lived and that he was in a serious

363
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:34,480
condition

364
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,640
dennis had contracted hepatitis c and

365
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:38,560
relenting i went to visit him

366
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:40,480
what i saw shocked me and totally melted

367
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,640
my anger then looked like a skeleton

368
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,399
with yellow skin drawn over it

369
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,320
he was badly jaundiced and had almost

370
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:48,480
died a priest had closed his eyes when

371
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:49,760
then suddenly opened them

372
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:52,000
and the nurse had screamed it had been a

373
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,200
very close call

374
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:55,040
it was years later that den explained

375
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:56,480
that he had thought i was behind him

376
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:57,360
when he ran

377
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:59,040
that only on reaching high ground had he

378
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:00,640
turned to look back and saw that i was

379
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:02,160
not with him but was standing there

380
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:03,839
still with those two beings towering

381
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,560
over me

382
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:06,320
his only thought then was to escape and

383
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,839
to report what had happened

384
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,600
luckily for me that i managed to just

385
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:11,120
catch him up before he gained the top of

386
00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:12,160
that steeping climb

387
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,399
above which his motorbike was parked it

388
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:16,240
was all of 30 miles journey back to

389
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:17,120
where i lived

390
00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:18,880
besides poor den would no doubt have

391
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:21,279
been taken for psychiatric observation

392
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,800
or charged with possible murder

393
00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:24,720
associated with my disappearance

394
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,760
do i believe in aliens do i what oh yes

395
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:29,920
they exist for sure you won't find them

396
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:30,880
when you are in the pub

397
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:33,120
watching tv or fast asleep in your bed

398
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,800
although i must hesitate here because i

399
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:36,160
have since read of inductions of

400
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,760
hitherto sleeping persons

401
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,040
there was something else that is

402
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:41,040
relevant to this true story when i

403
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,800
finally talked with dennis and asked him

404
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:44,399
outright why did you deserve me down

405
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:44,880
there

406
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:46,800
he told me it was those small creatures

407
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,640
with red eyes that had almost formed a

408
00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:49,760
circle around you

409
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:51,440
there were hundreds of them i never

410
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,959
thought i would see you again

411
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:54,959
i had not seen these red eyed creatures

412
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:57,360
but then i had not been looking back

413
00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:59,279
many years later on desolate dartmouth

414
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:00,880
in devonshire late one night

415
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,079
on the northern more out of rocky

416
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:03,920
hampton was a strange arc of brilliant

417
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,800
white light

418
00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:06,720
another brother jim and his teenage son

419
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:08,000
and daughter were with us

420
00:12:11,269 --> 00:12:09,440
we decided to look closer at this

421
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:11,279
strange arc of bright white light behind

422
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:12,480
a hierarchy tour

423
00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,839
the road to that part of the mall was

424
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,839
narrow too narrow to reverse turn and so

425
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:17,680
would necessitate continuing a few miles

426
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,279
further to the tiny round about all done

427
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,959
up to come back on ourselves

428
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,800
after driving along this narrow road

429
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:24,720
flanked on either side by a steep drop

430
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,560
onto a boulder strewn murphys and miles

431
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:28,240
i began to feel a strong sense of

432
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:30,480
apprehension a strange feeling of danger

433
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,800
my sixth sense of work this feeling had

434
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:34,079
barely been with me for long when

435
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:35,440
brother jim suggested that we should

436
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:37,040
turn back because he felt it was

437
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,480
dangerous to continue

438
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,560
however i had spotted something else

439
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:42,560
something that made my heart race

440
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:44,160
i saw literally hundreds if not

441
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:46,000
thousands of pairs of red eyes

442
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:48,079
those red eyes did not belong to animals

443
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:49,920
because no animal was capable of such

444
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:51,760
speed and able to traverse that boulder

445
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:53,279
string terrain and the deep crate is

446
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:54,240
littering the north mo

447
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:56,160
especially at night besides which the

448
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:57,920
number of those pairs of red eyes was

449
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,639
vast

450
00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:00,480
my blood ran cold as i remembered what

451
00:13:03,670 --> 00:13:01,920
den had seen at the punch bowl

452
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,680
red eye is exactly what we were seeing

453
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,959
there now on that more

454
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:06,320
and without doubt we're seeking to

455
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,560
surround us keeping my mounting panic

456
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,560
and concern to myself i heard jim again

457
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:12,560
express his concern at continuing and i

458
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:14,000
responded with mounting anger

459
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,760
due to fear and frustration that i could

460
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:17,760
not bloody well turn around as the road

461
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:19,279
was far too narrow and too high above

462
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:20,480
the mower for the wheels to reach the

463
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,880
ground

464
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:23,120
once the wheels left the road i felt

465
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,880
that we had no choice but to continue on

466
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,720
to that small roundabout or donut that i

467
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:28,480
estimated was about four miles further

468
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:28,880
on

469
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:33,519
and brother dumas to get out to see

470
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:35,120
if there was a place we do a reverse

471
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:37,040
turn all too soon he called out here

472
00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:38,560
bright you can reverse here

473
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:41,040
i replied are you sure jim i had doubts

474
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:43,040
in that the drop appeared to be too deep

475
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:44,880
he assured me that it was okay the

476
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,720
rapidly moving red eyes had by now

477
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,560
spread out ahead of us crossed over the

478
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:50,399
road and having split into two vast

479
00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,920
groups either side of that road

480
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,360
both were rushing speedily in our

481
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:55,519
direction as if to encircle us

482
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:57,440
where had i heard this before it was

483
00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:59,519
dennis and the punch bowl saga all over

484
00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:00,240
again

485
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:02,320
thousands of them it seemed to me to be

486
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,560
now i knew it was vital that we escaped

487
00:14:07,829 --> 00:14:06,320
the memory of the punch bowl left little

488
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,839
doubt in my mind as to what those red

489
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:09,760
eyes were common what they belong to

490
00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:11,680
trying hard to control the fast rising

491
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:13,839
panic within me i shakily expressed my

492
00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:15,440
doubts that the drop was too deep and

493
00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:17,120
would plant the car on its chassis

494
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:19,279
before the wheels contacted the ground

495
00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,720
no it's okay

496
00:14:24,629 --> 00:14:22,720
jim's words were hardly convincing but

497
00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,639
by now close to panic myself i drove

498
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,399
slowly turning the steering wheel hard

499
00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,480
over to greatly affect the reverse turn

500
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:30,160
and trusting jim's observation

501
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:32,000
i put the gear into reverse and backed

502
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:33,600
the car slowly off the road

503
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:35,600
a sudden crash ensued in the wheels it

504
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,720
was rear-wheel drive

505
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:38,720
spun above the surface of the ground we

506
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:41,040
were now completely trapped and helpless

507
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,639
jim and jimmy got out of the car and

508
00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:44,480
went to the rear christine was sitting

509
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,920
behind me as her dad and brother were

510
00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:47,360
trying to lift the car back onto the

511
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:49,120
road without success

512
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:51,199
i had seldom experienced such fear as i

513
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:52,720
sat there helplessly watching those

514
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,240
rapidly speeding entities that would

515
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,560
soon have encircled and been upon us

516
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:58,800
no one else in my car had as yet seen

517
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:00,880
them jim and his son were trying to lift

518
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:03,519
the rear of that 1600 cc ford console

519
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:04,720
back onto the road

520
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,880
jim was a brawley a strong fellow but

521
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:08,480
all that he and his son achieved was to

522
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,199
lift the car

523
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,040
only so far a little way off its

524
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:13,360
suspension the wheels however remained

525
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,639
firmly on the ground

526
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:16,720
the idea fleetingly entered my head to

527
00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,720
get out and to run those nine miles back

528
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,399
to rocky hampton but how when those

529
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,399
things were so fleetingly fast

530
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:24,720
besides which i couldn't leave christine

531
00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:26,079
and whatever happened we were not

532
00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,079
capable of traveling nine miles on foot

533
00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:30,720
to escape those rapidly speeding beings

534
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,639
then as jim was trying without success

535
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:34,639
to lift the car so christine suddenly

536
00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:36,079
glanced over to her right

537
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:37,839
saw the hundreds of red eyes pouring

538
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:39,440
like a flood down that sloping terrain

539
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,160
towards us

540
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:42,480
screamed loudly what are those what are

541
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,199
those

542
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:45,040
a loud scream signal for the movement of

543
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:46,880
the car on its springs to momentarily

544
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:47,360
cease

545
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:49,360
obviously jim had paused to see what had

546
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:50,639
frightened his daughter

547
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:52,560
this was then followed by the sudden and

548
00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:54,320
unbelievable lifting of the car bodily

549
00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:55,040
in such a way

550
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:57,120
as to slew it around at the same time so

551
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:58,959
that it was facing our escape route out

552
00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:59,600
of there

553
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:01,519
jim and jimmy dived into the car and

554
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:03,279
opening the throttle i drove out of that

555
00:16:06,949 --> 00:16:04,720
place like the proverbial bat

556
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,959
out of hell i could scarcely believe our

557
00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:08,079
lucky escape

558
00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:10,160
it is said that fear can induce enormous

559
00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:11,839
reserves of strength in a crisis

560
00:16:15,749 --> 00:16:13,839
and that is what happened with jim i

561
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,759
drove as fast as was safely possible on

562
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:17,519
that narrow road that night and upon

563
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:19,360
reaching the top of a hill some mile or

564
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:20,240
two further on

565
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:22,320
i stopped the car engine left running

566
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:23,680
got out and looked back

567
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:26,160
gym likewise for several seconds we saw

568
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,959
nothing but then

569
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:28,959
there they were those two vast swarms of

570
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,160
red eyes pursuing us

571
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,240
on both sides of that road i don't

572
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:34,160
exaggerate the numbers to be that seemed

573
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:36,240
to run in hundreds if not thousands

574
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:37,600
they appeared to me to be small in

575
00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:39,360
stature that was my impression

576
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:41,199
because it was dark they certainly

577
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:42,959
traveled at speed over a very dangerous

578
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:44,720
and rough terrain with many deep craters

579
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:45,920
and strewn boulders

580
00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:48,240
after about five stops atop a hill a

581
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:49,839
precaution in the event that the car

582
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:51,680
stalled and would not restart we would

583
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:52,560
curse down

584
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,560
each time we stopped and looked back so

585
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:56,320
men it also would pass then suddenly

586
00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:56,959
there they were

587
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:58,959
continuing their pursuit of us on the

588
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:00,560
last hill i was able to see the lights

589
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:01,920
of rocky hampton ahead of us

590
00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,920
on our right we stopped here and again

591
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,919
looked back this time however we saw

592
00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:07,919
nothing more of those red eyed creatures

593
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,679
whether you believe my true narrative i

594
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:11,679
leave with you i can but sincerely

595
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:12,240
express

596
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:14,160
that it happened as i have recorded it

597
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:16,000
as a reluctant ufologist i have written

598
00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:17,679
of this alien encounter quite some time

599
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:18,160
ago

600
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:19,919
it was not published on the site i sent

601
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:22,160
it to neither was it even acknowledged

602
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:24,000
i wrote it out of sincere interest and

603
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,360
possibly in the hope of eliciting a

604
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:27,120
similar experience from others who maybe

605
00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:28,559
experienced an extraterrestrial

606
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,679
identical to mine

607
00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:30,960
for what it's worth i have made

608
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:32,559
pilgrimage to that same area several

609
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,360
times since

610
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:35,520
without success except for two occasions

611
00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:37,520
when i heard that same musical sound fly

612
00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:37,919
over

613
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:41,120
height in fact

614
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,880
nothing was visible although the sound

615
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,480
indicated it had passed over the top of

616
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:46,000
the tall pine trees through which up are

617
00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,640
fled

618
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,559
my car borrowed from my younger brother

619
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,240
was parked some half mile away at a car

620
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:52,400
park off the a3 and unable to contain my

621
00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:53,840
excitement as my brother said to me

622
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,320
brian

623
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:56,000
i have never doubted your story but

624
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:57,440
hearing that sound for myself

625
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,760
well it is certainly not of this world i

626
00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:01,280
suggested we return to the car

627
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:02,960
have a much-needed coffee to steady our

628
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:04,960
nerves grab the portable excuse for a

629
00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,960
tape recorder a tiny woolworth job

630
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:09,039
an endeavor to capture that weird sound

631
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:10,400
we made it to the car park

632
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,840
and to the coffee when suddenly

633
00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:13,360
brilliant lights lit up the car from

634
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,080
behind

635
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,600
a wrap on the window and i saw a

636
00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,520
policeman accompanied by a special

637
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:19,679
i wound the window down he asked what

638
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:20,640
are you doing here

639
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:22,000
my short fuse at this offensive

640
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,760
intrusion along with my irate words to

641
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:25,440
the effect that it was a free country

642
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:26,320
and to clear off

643
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,160
well clear was not exactly the word i

644
00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:30,080
used dry parenthesis did not go down

645
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,480
well

646
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,559
because a second patrol car arrived and

647
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,320
my brother and i were handcuffed and

648
00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:36,160
incarcerated in separate cells of god

649
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:37,600
arming police station

650
00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,440
how could we explain that we were ufo

651
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,679
hunting the police cells that we spent

652
00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:43,360
six hours in be infinitely the better

653
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:45,280
alternative to a mental hospital

654
00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:47,200
this incarceration was due to the copper

655
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,320
opening the boot of the car

656
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:50,160
and discovering a 12-ball shotgun that i

657
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:51,840
had placed there intending to shoot

658
00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:53,360
rabbits the following morning

659
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:55,280
i was accused of being harry roberts the

660
00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,960
guy who had shot a policeman dead

661
00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:58,799
although this man was already in police

662
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:00,960
custody in 1966

663
00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,960
raymond and i were released to those 600

664
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:04,559
hours the following morning without

665
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,280
charge

666
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,440
i have had other experiences of ufos one

667
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:09,360
of which was no rest distance away out

668
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,200
of sea off brighton in sussex

669
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:13,280
it made no sound gave the undoubted

670
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:15,039
impression of being immense in size

671
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:17,120
and moved slowly and silently just above

672
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:19,120
the sea emerging from the fog bank on

673
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:20,960
the west side to vanish silently into

674
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:22,880
the fog bank on the east side

675
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:24,400
it was followed then by a second

676
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:26,240
identical saucer-shaped ufo with a

677
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:28,240
beehive-like dome on top and small

678
00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:29,760
portholes around the circumference of

679
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:30,640
the body

680
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:33,600
time being oh 500 hours i had been sea

681
00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:35,440
fishing at the time of the occurrence

682
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,280
i also had a frightening experience

683
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:39,360
whilst under canvas at that same seaside

684
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:40,720
