A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
6 months before this sighting during the first lock down in 2020 I witnessed and photographed a craft in broad daylight which looked like one of the tic tacs (which I will include in the pictures). A week before that I was laying watching TV at around 5.30pm when suddenly there was a few flashes of extremely bright white light and I was paralysed and could only move my eyes. A few seconds later there was another bright flash and a being made of light appeared right in front of me. It was there about 10 seconds, then there was another flash of light and it was gone and I could move. The whole thing lasted about 15 seconds, but when I looked at the time it was 9.45pm. I had around 4 hours of missing time, and have since questioned everything about reality. I will include a sketch of the light being also.
