It was a ball of light that looked like it was swirling around when zooming in closer (maybe pulsing), it glided along the night sky, then it dropped down a significant way (nothing like a plane), then changed direction, left & then round in a circle & just disappeared. It was a clear night, no planes or anything in the sky. This object looked like a small dot of light, moving in the sky & was up quite high. When zooming in, it definitely looked like it was swirling or pulsating & just fell down & stopped...moved left & round in a circle. This object was not moving like a plane, helicopter or satellite.

The weather was raining and I sleep with a small bedroom window open. I heard a dull humming sound coming from outside and got out of bed to look out of the window. Seeing some lights coming from behind the trees I got dressed and went to get my son's friend who is staying with us to come with me to Investigate. The time was about 11.30pm. We both went outside and started to walk towards the field. We both saw dull Lights coming from behind trees and after my last experience I knew what it was. We both took our phones with us but they did not work. There was a ship about 50 to 60 feet across and the hight was about 25 to 30 feet and as last time, it did not seem to be touching the ground. Somehow I found myself inside the craft. I have no recollection how I got there, my friend Joe was not with me. The inside was very dimly lit and had a very strange smell of almonds that I recognised from last time and again I saw small figures moving around in the shodows, I couldn't hear voices but had the opinion that they were having a conversation with each other. I was held on top of a floating table that was monovering around the room I had no comprehension of the time but I was in the ship for around two hours. I found myself in the field where I found Joe who said that he could not move until I reappeared he had a memory of me being taken up and into the ship but was unable to to move. I have no knowledge of anything happening to me but my neck is very sore. I don't recall seeing or feeling anything being done to me. But I did feel very light The whole thing was very traumatic and I am certain what we saw and experienced. This time I have a witness and that makes me feel a lot better.

On the 04/04/2017 I was looking out from my bedroom window after hearing a dull humming sound coming from the field at the side of my bungalow, the time was about 11.30pm.... I went out and started to walk towards the field.... I saw Lights coming from behind trees and I thought it might be some sort of Farm machinery. It has been known for the Farm To a work late at night.... Why I went to investigate I can not explain as I have never done that before. I just had a feeling I had to go and look..... The lights where about 10ft apart and not very bright. They where about 5ft wide and about 5ft high... The shape of the ship was roundish dome and appeared to have a dull grey finish but it was dark... For some reason I did not feel afraid and looked at it for a little while, I suppose I thought that it may have been a military aircraft as we are not to far from a base.... The total size was about 50 to 60 feet across and the hight was about 25 to 30 feet and it did not seem to be touching the ground..... Somehow I found myself inside the craft. I have no recollection how I got there.... The interior had very dim lights and had a very strange smell of almonds.... There where about 4 or 5 small humanoid figures in the shadows...... I could not hear any voices but they seemed to be conversing with each other..... It was hard for my eyes to adjust to the light.... I was on a floating table that was moving around... It felt like I was there for only about 5 minutes..... but I was there for about 90 minutes..... I found myself by the path by my bungalow about How I got there I don't know, the time was around 1.00am...... I don't recall seeing or feeling anything being done to me. But I did feel very light headed for around 20 minutes afterwards..... I told my my wife when I got home what had happened, She did not believe me at first.... She did go looking for me about 20 minutes after I had gone to investigate but did not see me or any ship..... The whole thing was very traumatic and I am certain what I saw and experienced...... I have had three dreams since that experience that have me in a room and again on a floating table. I don't remember much apart from being surrounded by small ( about 4 to 4 and a half feet tall) humanoid beings...... They don't seem to be doing anything to me but I do feel restrained by my wrists and ankles I am not struggling to get away and strangely feel very relaxed.... The beings have heads that are out of proportion to the rest of there bodies. They have 4 fingers on each hand with a gap between the middle of their fingers.. They have very large eyes that did not seem to have pupils of any kind They had no ears or what I would call a nose. No hair anywhere and grayish in colour with very smooth skin. They did not seem to be wearing any clothing but the lighting was very dim as if strong lights would have been uncomfortable for them... The lights inside where oval in shape and about 3ft in size. There where about a dozen or so.. I was coherent for about 10 or 15 minutes I would have put this down to dreams but they have all been exactly the same and on one occasion I woke to have marks on my wrists like strap marks I do have pictures taken by a friend... I can't explain any of this but I do not want to know what if anything has happened to me for personal reasons.. I have reported my experiences to Mufon but the have not followed it up because I don't want regression therapy.... ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter Thatyou for your reply I did report the incident to Mufon at the time but they wanted me to undertake regression therapy at a cost to myself, this would have cost hundreds of pounds and when i declined they did not seem interested anymore. I did not report it to any law enforcement as i new i would have suffered some sort of ridicule. The incident happened a while ago now but i thought that i would report it to you so it may have the recognition that i feel it deserves. Thank you very much for putting it on your website as it may give the public encouragement to report more incidents. May you have a very happy Christmas and a successful New Year. Best Regards ((END ADDENDUM))
