THE EXPERIENCE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

It was the evening of the 23rd of August 1989. I was living in the South of England. My brother and his wife were staying with me for the week. I had not seen them for a while as they worked abroad, so this was rather special. We decided to spend the evening in, get a takeaway, a movie and a few bottles of wine and generally “chill out”. We were about forty minutes into the movie when an extraordinary thing happened. I am by no means a party pooper and would usually be the last to bed, especially on this occasion, making sure my brother and his wife were comfortable in the guest room and all that they required had been dealt with. However, very suddenly I felt uncomfortable as though there was a “presence” in my mind over-riding all the other actions of the evening. I made some sort of excuse and left the room leaving my guests with the movie.

I had a compelling feeling to just go and lie down somewhere quiet and the obvious place would have been my bedroom, but for some odd reason I was unable to get there and found myself lying on the guests bed. This was odd in itself as my bedroom was literally the next room along the corridor.

Lying on the bed a very strange experience occurred. I was at this point in life 34 years old and had never experienced anything remotely similar. What I can only describe as an “internal voice” loud and clear, began to communicate with me.

The “instructions” were definite and precise. I was to get a metallic head piece made. This was to consist of a copper band 25mm in diameter, 2mm in thickness and to fit around the head like a crown. To this band was to be added two iron prongs 4mm diameter and 30mm long. The finished headgear is shown below.

The “voice” eventually disappeared but the clarity of the instructions have never left my mind to this day.

See “THE HELMET”

At some point I returned to my own room and went to sleep. My guests did not disturb me and I didn’t see them again that night. I would just like to repeat that the act of abandoning my guests had never happened to me before. Something extraordinary had occurred. The next day I told my brother what had happened. His reaction was one of disbelief and ridicule.

My next dilemma was how to react to this odd experience. I decided to keep it to myself for a while but also felt that I must get the “headpiece” made. As I was fairly well known in the area I decided to have it made by a metal work company some distance away and used the pretence that its purpose was a base for a fancy dress hat.

The company called me a few days later to say it was ready. During my trip to collect the “helmet” many thoughts went through my mind as to what the hell was going on in my life, everything from madness to breakdown to telepathic communication with the spirit world. Life was busy but the “helmet” remained in my mind night and day as did all the questions that went with it.

As the days and weeks passed, the thought that there had to be a reason for possessing this strange object became a real ordeal and I finally opted to tell Claire, a close friend. This eased my mind as during her life she had experienced some pretty strange events including UFO’s and was able to understand and reassure me that I was not going crazy.

Another Shock

Halfway through October I had returned from work and I remember standing in my kitchen chopping some carrots. Suddenly the voice in my head returned as clear and precise as before. The message I received was as follows. That night I was to drive some nine miles to a location on the South Downs taking the helmet with me. Having arrived there I was to put the helmet on my head!!

I knew the location very well, as way back in 1976 I experienced an extraordinary encounter there. This particular spot is at a height of 164 meters above sea level and is marked by a triangulation point. It has a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside and is fairly remote. It is only accessible by foot which involves a long climb up through scrub and chalk pits.

Having received my instructions I tried to come to terms with what had just happened. Now I had received two internal messages. They had both been clear and concise. I was sane, fit and intelligent. What the hell was going on?

I decided to phone my friend Claire who I had discussed the helmet’s details with. I asked her to come with me. Unfortunately she had guests and couldn’t leave them. I was on my own and I have to say a little frightened however I felt compelled to go.

It was now about 7.30 pm on this clear cold October evening. I dressed up with extra clothing, thick socks, thermals, gloves and a woolly hat. I stuffed some chocolate into my pockets along with some water, a compass and a torch. Then I collected my “helmet” and thought to myself that I must be dealing with something quite incredible, something which might be connected to my experience from 1976 which I had mentally tangled with for so long.

I got in the car and drove the nine miles or so to the lay-by at the foot of the Downs. Nobody knew where I was and I wondered whether I would ever be seen again. As I started the long climb I began to feel nervous, I didn’t put on the helmet until I was some distance away from the road. As I reached the top of the first hill I really began to feel fear and wondered what on earth I was doing. Several times I thought the whole thing to be absurd and nearly turned back however something very deep inside my mind was telling me to continue.

As I started to ascend the next hill an incredible thing happened. Directly over the top of me and coming from behind, way up in the sky, three extremely bright lights zoomed across the sky in a straight line heading in the exact direction to where I was going. There was absolutely no noise and the three lights moved in complete unison as though they were part of a very large object. There is nothing that I know that is man made that could travel at such speed and in such silence. Also the colour of the lights, a silvery blue, appeared odd. There was no wind and no clouds. One, two, three, the lights zoomed over my head travelling directly in the path I was taking.

At the sight of this, helmet still on, I dropped to my knees in pure amazement. Sheer awe !!
Is this what I had come to see ? As I gathered my thoughts, I concluded that this was a sign to continue my journey. The fact that the lights were traveling directly towards my destination gave me courage and also the belief that all the preceding events really did mean something. I did not imagine these lights. I continued to climb the next half mile or so until I reached the summit and the triangulation point.

The view was stunning, the stars so bright, but it was very cold. I sat down and leaned my back against the triangulation stone. I was still frightened and felt terribly alone. If only my friend could have accompanied me. This is the exact spot I was sitting at back then in 1976 when another very strange encounter had taken place. As I sat there with my helmet on I again wondered what on earth was happening to me, a truly bizarre situation. After about an hour I was beginning to feel the cold and was thinking about returning. After all I had already seen more than I could have imagined.

Suddenly about 3 meters away to my left, a shaft of “mist” appeared from nowhere. It was a light yellowy colour, about a meter in width and seemed to stop short of ground level. There was no reflection on the grass which you would get with a normal beam of light.

I turned my head to follow the 60 degree angle of the beam up into the sky. It was approximately 10 meters in length and uniform in width and colour.

Then the situation became even more weird!

At the top of the “beam” I suddenly and shockingly realised there was nothing, no stars, just a huge area of the blackest black that I have ever seen. This blackness was circular in shape and must have been about 20 meters in diameter cutting out a huge portion of the starry sky. I instantly knew what I was supposed to do next. Stand up and walk into the beam. I felt very vulnerable. I rose slowly and walked towards the beam. The next thing I knew I was 200 meters away walking back down the slope.

I could not recall any thoughts other than seeing a light about 150 meters away in the middle of a thicket close to the path I was about to descend. I had no idea what this light could be; it was not like a torch beam and was motionless, its light didn’t reflect on its surroundings and due to the bushes must have been some feet above ground level! I was afraid of confronting whatever this light was and what ever accompanied it. I therefore decided to descend via a different route and avoid this mystery.

I finally reached my car and remember little else about the evening. I do not remember driving nor arriving home, nor do I remember the next few days. It was as though I was suffering from a memory block. I clearly remember all the events leading up to entering the beam as though it was yesterday but very little afterwards. All I knew was that it had changed my life completely.

During the next few months, I gave up my work, sold my house and decided there was far more to this world than meets the eye. I started to travel and research the UFO/abduction scene as much as possible. I read everything I could lay my hands on. I looked for support but found little.

I tried hypnosis and had a mixture of results varying from what some people describe as planted memories or blocks to vivid recalls of what is described by many as an “alien abduction involving the Greys”. At night I had very clear dreams involving my missing time. These were disturbing simply because they were beyond my level of understanding. I had clear pictures of inside the craft, a circular space with no shadows and no apparent light source yet the whole environment seemed to be a clinical pearly white. I was shown a series of containers, (see article drawing)  in which were humanoid life forms.

 I dreamed of beings with large blackish eyes and very big heads that had complete control over me as though they were able to read everything in my mind. These beings were short and appeared unemotional as though they were computerised beings. They were the same beings that I recall seeing way back in 1976.

After this encounter I would often wake at three in the morning and receive information some of which was very scientific and I did not understand. On many occasions again at 3AM I was given peculiar names which I would write down only to find out that they were the names of race horses which would be running the next day! How could this happen and why? Was it proving that time is not as we see it, that future information is available?

This could well change our dynamic thinking of “time and space”.

WARNING, remember my encounter  was in 1989. I was shown the planet with many areas on fire !! Global warming !. Other experiencers have also been shown these types of imagery.

Why do I have grave feelings about the future and the human race? I am not the only one. I travelled to many countries only to find out that the subject of UFOs, Aliens and Abduction was by no means unique to me or my homeland. In Africa I met the late Cynthia Hind who passed on some extraordinary encounters that she had researched. Whether in Russia, the USA or Europe, I have bumped into people from all walks of life who have witnessed strange discs in our skies. The more I researched about abduction the more I realised that I was one of many many people that had gone through this experience. What I find most frightening particularly in Britain is that the Government/military refuse to make any intelligent statement about this activity despite the amount of evidence that can be produced.

The evidence from civil and military pilots, policemen, astronauts and other trained observers, and the technical recordings such as radar, film footage. photos etc, cannot be that easily wiped aside.

I believe it is time to take notice. If these people are deluded or suffering from hallucinations or temporal lobe epilepsy then why are they in such important and responsible employment? Do you really want your life to be in the hands of a pilot that is nuts!! Its another reason why I want this community to force the authorities hands and come clean!

During my period of travel and investigation I met a succession of remarkable people such as Kees Van Dam, Teacher and Anthropologist. (see the article “A Thinker”) Kees and I spent hundreds of hours together probing the issues of the abduction phenomenon Without his help I would have suffered a great deal more than I have done and for this, I am eternally grateful to him.

Since my encounters I have become far more sensitive to the world around me. I look upon the Earth as if from above, watching the human race as a whole going about its generally destructive business. I have been depressed and frustrated many times at the way we, as a society, are blind in our actions and behaviour.

I am incensed by our arrogance and ignorance to think that we are so clever and that we are the only intelligent life form that can space travel. I remember someone saying that “we are like monkeys with electricity”. My mission in life has now become the continuing investigation into the “alien abduction” area, regardless of the level of complexity, or indeed the outcome of this research. I would have further doubted my own mind as to all these experiences but for another bizarre twist to the string of strange encounters!

I was living in Southern Ireland and had realised that the UFO/Abduction scene was very much a taboo subject. There were, as I found out, several reasons for this. One was the strength and doctrines of the Catholic Church; you might as well have been talking about contact with the devil. As far as I could see the devil was actually within the church. Secondly, Ireland was just beginning to come out of its “third world state” and new ideas and technology were becoming commonplace.

Thirdly, many British, German and Dutch had immigrated into the area bringing new concepts and a freedom of speech that was new to many southerners. The scenic and open landscape of this beautiful country along with some incredibly clear night skies was a bonus to any sky watching activities. The sheer amount of megaliths or stone circles may also be of significance. As usual I began to put out feelers regarding the phenomena and was overwhelmed with the amount of sightings/encounter experiences that began to pop out of the woodwork.

I decided that perhaps Ireland should be put on the Ufology map and hence contacted Carlton TV to have a look at the situation. They happened to be doing a documentary covering the phenomena called “We Are Not Alone”. I worked for them as a researcher but I have to say I was doubtful of their approach and kept my own story to myself. I found that most of the media were still taking the piss out of this subject in 1996/97 whilst giving the impression that they were taking the subject seriously. The programme was biased and the editing undermined the credibility of witnesses’ reports. The result however was positive in the sense that it stirred up interest. Radio and TV programmes followed abundantly and Irish news travels fast. My job was done in Ireland,  interest in Ufology continues to flourish to this day.

On my way back for a visit to England in 1997, it had been suggested that I call on a person who had apparently experienced “multiple abductions” this I couldn’t resist and duly set up a meeting. (see “Gail’s Story”)

An Enigma

From the first seconds of our meeting I felt as though I had known Gail for years, which was a little disconcerting for our respective partners who were also present. As time progressed and we shared our experiences, extraordinary facts began to emerge which has opened a new dimension of “abduction” into the already complex jigsaw. What I found out next was extremely disturbing and beyond all my belief systems.

THE HELMET

These are the results found by a scientist to whom I sent my helmet after the “abduction” in 1989.

Here are his observations.

This is the standing wave schematic of the rods along the side of the helmet.
10,000cps from magnetic oscillation of iron at 50 Hz.

4,793 cps from copper generated by flowing electricity.

50 cps from the ambient mains.

Dimensions of metal cause two standing waves,
A). In the iron, i.e. one and a half wavelengths.
Iron rod dimensions 33.6 cms x 6mm diameter.

This is generated by the 10,000cps oscillation in the iron.

B). In the copper ring.
Dimensions 25mm x 1.5mm x 165mm radius.

This is generated by the 4,793cps.

Interestingly the 10,000cps frequency relates to the heart muscles. The 4793cps frequency relates to chest cavity muscles, i.e. breathing.
Are these facts just coincidences?

Both of these frequencies resonate with the muscles in contraction and can cause a lock in the muscle action i.e. paralysis.

Interesting, iron and copper,  see electromagnetic fields.

Any illumination on this subject would be very welcome.
