CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
----------------

We journey into the twilight zone with three people who recall,
under hypnosis, their astonishing experiences of alien abduction
- and bizarre experiments.

You may find some of the facts far-fetched. Others you may
feel are simply figments of people's imaginations - but they
will all make you think twice about UFOs.
We take a look at three close encounters, accounts by people
whom UFO experts believe have been abducted by
extra-terrestrials, and talk to an Adelaide farmer who believes
his property was used as a landing site.
Roy Lake, 53 chairman of UFO Studies, an international
organisation with its head office in London, has been studying
UFOs for 33 years. He formed his group two years ago with three
people, and now has 18 investigators. "The subject goes a lot
further than the public's perception of little green men," Roy
says.
"When you mention abductions and flying saucers, people
ridicule it. But you can't dispute the evidence that is
materialising to the contrary. And unfortunately, a lot of
prople are too scared to talk about it."
Tony Dodd, 57, is the director of investigation and research
for UFO Magazine, and he had his first encounter with a UFO in
1978. "I'm very involved with investigating abduction cases and
I'm usually present at the regression hypnosis sessions," Tony
says. "The similarities of the stories related by the people
under hypnosis are so strong that even sceptics would change
their minds.
"We believe the aliens are involved in genetic engineering,
but it's not new - it's been going on for centuries." Harry
Harris, 50, a lawyer who has spent 12 years investigation
accounts of sightings, adds: "My conclusions are that these
people experience amnesia, and hypnosis is the only way they can
recall the time they've lost." XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER ONE.

Housewife Linda Jones, 49, considers herself to be an
ordinary person. She is married to Trevor, who works as a
heating engineer, and they have two children. One August
evening 13 years ago, she was out walking with her daughter and
son, aged 15 and five, collecting wild flowers along the banks
of a local river. She was bending down looking at a plant when
her son suddenly said, "Look Mum, the moon's coming towards us."
Linda saw an orange and pink ball of light heading towards
them. "We all ducked really low in the grass," she recalls.
"There was no noise, and at the last moment the object shot off
to the right. It went over two hills and then appeared to drop
vertically onto a field. I thought it was a plane on fire, so we
started to run towards it. We got to within 30 metres and we
could see this massive white light with an under-structure like
a bridge, made of what looked like a mesh material," Linda says.
"It was hovering about a metre off the ground and appeared
to have no windows or doors. It seemed to be as light as a
feather, even though it was about 18 metres across. "Normally,
I'd run away from any danger, but I felt myself being drawn
towards it. My daughter was terrified and kept shouting, "Come
away, Mum!" But my son was quite calm.
"As we were watching, the object kept appearing and
disappearing - it was really weird. Eventually, we turned
around and ran off. But as we ran, the grass blew over in front
of us and the thing just followed us.
"The object then disappeared, but shortly afterwards we
spotted it trailing a plane that was about to land at the nearby
airport." When she got home, Linda found the skin under her
eyes was burned and scaly. She and her daughter also had violet
scars on their left legs.
Eighteen months later, Harry Harris, the lawyer who works
with Roy Lake, contacted Linda and persuaded her and her
daughter to be hypnotised. They gave their consent and, while
under hypnosis, were videotaped. Both related the same chain of
events. "I was running downhill and bumped into a tall human
figure, then everthing blurred," Linda says on one of the
videotapes.
"I then experienced a sensation of floating. Next I was on a
table being examined and I had a feeling of ice being put on my
legs. There were six very tall people who looked like clones.
They wore dark overalls up to their necks, their hair was dark
and their eyes were black and almond-shaped."

Linda still cannot consciously recall this event. We have
not named her children because her son is terrified of reliving
the sighting and, although now a teenager, he sleeps with the
light on. Linda's daughter is now married and refuses even to
discuss the subject because she is afraid that people will mock
her.
After the incident, Linda's periods stopped (she was 36
years old), and she has since had problems with a lump in her
neck that keeps appearing a disappearing. "I even went into
hospital to have the lump removed. When the surgeon came for a
last check, he found it had disappeared, so the operation was
cancelled. At the moment, it's back. I feel like an idiot
because I know all this is not normal," Linda says.
"I just wish more people who have had similar experiences
would come forward, because it would help me feel easier about
the whole thing." XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER TWO.

It was 5:15 am and policeman Alan Godfrey, 34, was thinking
about going home after a night on patrol. Suddenly, he saw what
he thought was a bus. But later, in a taped interview, he said,
"I realised it wasn't a bus. It was about six metres wide and
four metres high, hovering just over a metre above the ground.
The bottom half was spinning and there was a row of darkened
windows and a dome on top."
When he tried to report back to his headquarters, neither
his car radio nor his pocket walkie-talkie would work. He started
sketching the UFO, but it suddenly vanished. At first, he did
not want to report the incident because he was afraid of
sounding foolish. When he discovered that five other policemen
had reported a UFO at much the same time, he decided to come
clean.
What mystifies Alan is that the reports were never
investigated. "I wish now I'd slapped a parking ticket on it,

because then at least some bureaucrat would have wanted to know
why the fine hadn't been paid," Alan jokes. Another odd thing
was that when UFO researchers visited Alan, they discovered that
at least 15 minutes of that night were missing from his detailed
log entry of the event.

A year later, Alan was persuaded to undergo a technique
called regression hypnosis - which is used by police enforcement
bodies throughout the world. Hypnosis enables witnesses of
crimes to remember in great detail facts that their concious
minds either disregard of suppress.
In all, Alan has been hypnotised five times and each time
his story is the same. On each occasion, he was videotaped. The
following is a small extract from one videotape;
"I'm in a room now ... there's a table." (Horror on his
face.) "There's him. Don't know who the 'him' is. About 180cm,
like a man. He's got a sort of black and white sheet on. He has
a beard and something like a skull cap." (Alan's face distorts
with fear.) "They're horrible. He's touching me. He's feeling at
the cloth ... at my clothes. They have hands and heads like a
lamp. They're making noises."
He stretches his lips and makes a high-pitched warbling
noise, imitating the sound. "Joseph. I know he's Joseph. He told
me not to be scared. These are robots. They're not humans.
There's a dog. I think it's a dog. It's horrible. Joseph is
leading me to a table. It's a bed. It looks like black
leather. He wants me to get on it - not likely!
"Now I'm getting on to the bed. I don't know why. There's a
light ..." The stress was so great at this point that the
psychiatrist, taking a reading from the heart monitor to which
Alan was wired, stopped the test.
At a later session, Alan relates in some detail an
examination that Joseph performed on him. The last thing he
recalls is the aliens removing his boots and looking at his
toes. Alan later says that after seeing the craft hovering, and
blanking out, he found himself back in the police car, with one
boot split and a circular burn on his left instep.
So what was his reaction when he was shown the videotapes of
his hypnosis sessions? "I was absolutely shocked. I still can't
conciously recall any of it." Another baffling fact is that
several years before Alan's encounter, doctors said he was
unable to father children after being beaten up on duty.
But a few years after his encounter, his son John was born.
Alan has since had a vasectomy. He says of his experience: "I
wish it hadn't happened. I'm just an ordinary bloke just trying
to do my job." XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER THREE.

Until now, Maria, 34, has been reluctant to talk publicly
about her close encounters with UFOs because she does not want
to be ridiculed. But she now believes the subject deserves to
be treated more seriously, so has decided - with reservations -
to break her silence.
Maria still does not want her full name revealed. Her
experiences are fascinating becuase, unlike Linda and Alan,
Maria has never been subjected to hypnosis. It was Novenber
1990, when Maria, an agricultural research assistant,
experienced a UFO sighting that was to trigger apparent past
memories of the alien kind.
"My husband was away when I was abducted from my bedroom,"
she says. "I was left with physical injuries - a patch of hair
missing from the back of my head, a circular patch of seven
pinpricks on my little finger. Twice I had pregnancies confirmed
by my doctor, then in the third month I was mysteriously not
pregnant."
Maria describes the encounter: "I was fast asleep when
suddenly I felt as though unseen hands were shaking me. I sat up
and looked at the clock. It was 3:40am. I felt compelled to look
out the window, so I got out of bed. At first I remember
thinking, with a smile on my face, 'Oh, look, it's Father
Christmas'.
"There were lights shimmering, then this wheel of light just
came cartwheeling down into the garden. I panicked and ran into
the hall where I saw a light. I was then told - not by a voice
but by thought transference - to look at this light and that it
wouldn't hurt me. As much as I tried not to look, I couldn't
stop myself.
"Next thing it was 90 minutes later and I was sitting in
bed. My feet were dirty. There was blood on my pillow. I
couldn't recall what had happened. "Over the past few years I
have had flashbacks to that night. I have not been hypnotised,
but I have spontaneously remembered things.
"I recalled being walked down this long corridor by three
small beings. They were a bronze colour and smelt terrible -
like rotten mushrooms. I was then laid on a metallic table. I
can remember certain things being done to me. My head and hair
being held and a tremendously sharp pain at the back of my head
- that must have been when my hair disappeared. The most
frightening thing, though, was having a glass tube put up my
nose. At that point, I thought they were going to kill me. I can
remember thinking, 'I don't want to die like this'. The pain was
considerable.
"A few days later, I went to my doctor who referred me to a
hospital consultant who could find no reason for my injuries. In
fact, tests came back saying there was unusual cellular damage
as well as a soft tissue injury to my cervix. They could not
account for this. I have the signed medical records from my
doctor and hospital consultant to prove it.
"It's easy for people to say aliens don't exist, but
physical symptoms don't just appear," says Maria.

She says she doesn't like "ET theory", which goes against
everything she believes in - "but something's going on. They are
very real, but where they come from, I don't know. It's as
though some external thing is saying to me, 'Right, today you
will remember this'. I've no doubt at all that it's a specific
course - a programmed course - and all of us are given just
parts of the puzzle.
"I feel aliens are around me a great deal. There have been a
lot of UFO sightings in the area where I live - most recently
only a few weeks ago. "I don't want to be hypnotised, because
conscioulsy I know my mind couldn't cope with the experience.
But on the other hand - perhaps I really don't want to know."

ALIENS IN ADELAIDE.

Adelaide Hills grazier Andrew Davidson is frankly baffled.
What spooked one of his horses to go into a wild, galloping,
whinnying panic for a couple of nights recently? What caused a
big, egg-shaped "circle" to appear mysteriously on a remote
paddock about the same time?
"It's almost as if you'd brought a huge branding iron down
and went whoooosh and pulled it up again," Andrew says, shaking
his head. "Like putting a brand on the hide of a cow - but the
strange thing is, the grass isn't burned. It's more like it has
had the life sucked out of it and been left lying down in flat
patterns."
Andrew, who owns a large sheep farm 35km east of Adelaide,
points out the odd patterns - one clockwise, the other
anti-clockwise. The dead grass patch [ring] is 56cm wide, forming
an egg shape 22 metres by 13 metres. "There were no wheel marks
- no trucks or tractors or rollers," Andrew says. "My mate can
back me on that." (There were definately no signs of tracks when
we went to the site 11 days later)
Andrew's friend John Purvis was the first to find the circle
as he cut across the paddock to get wood for his fire early on
november 16. "The untouched surroundings really puzzled me. I
raced home (he lives in a cottage on the property), got my video
camera and recorded it.
"It was weird about our horse, too. He was in the same
paddock as the circle, and a few nights before I found it, he

was galloping and whinnying and carrying on like a mad thing."
Andrew Davidson's way of heading off the sceptics who might
think he is crazy has been to call in a group of experts to
unravel the mystery.
"I got the agronomist from the Department of Agriculture at
Mt Barker. I wasn't there when he called, but from what I've
heard he was totally perplexed. When I talked to him later he
said, 'Look, there's no biological or agricultural explanation -
no fungus, no root-rot or weedkillers or anything like that."
Graeme Budgen, a scientist with a consulting engineering
company who did soil and radiation tests, found strange readings
in the circle. The salt content in the circle was 40% higher
than the rest of the paddock (a characteristic of "UFO circles")
and radiation was up.
"The moisture content is especially weird," Graeme says.
"It's much higher on the circle than away from it, yet the soil
on the circle feels and looks dry and crumbly and the rest of
the paddock is soaking wet. There's something very strange here
and I cannot conclude what has happened. My opinion is that it's
no hoax. A hoaxer couldn't duplicate an elaborate thing like
this." [There's a couple of very good photos, one showing the
egg-shaped 'track' from an elevated position with three men
standing inside, and one close up showing the 'dead' grass]

Colin Norris, director of Australian International UFO
Research, agrees. "I've looked into thousands of UFO phenomena
and I can spot a fake a mile off. This is no hoax. There has
been a visit from an extra-terrestrial craft here, for sure. In
the eight weeks leading up to this I had a spate of UFO reports
around these parts. The Air Force rang me because they were
getting so many reports of lights moving and standing still in
the Adelaide Hills."
As the evidence piles up, Andrew Davidson admits his
lifetime disbelief in UFOs has taken a battering. Crop circles,
or "the calling cards of UFOs" as their believers call them,
were first reported in 1976 and serious research began in 1980.
One of the most controversial sites has been in the Wessex
Triangle in England - an area rich in mystical associations and
location of Stonehenge. XX
