Over the decades I have seen things.

As good a title for a post as any!

I have seen unknown, brilliantly lit objects and twice fairly close to. No, I do not believe they were "extraterrestrial craft" and work in later years led me to a theory (though not scientifically proven). On all of these occasions I was alone and this was before everyone had a camera!  Aboutr three years back I observed two objects moving across a clear blue sky and my two neighbours saw the objects. Distant but behaving very oddly.

I have witnessed first hand poltergeist activity as well as shadowy dark figures in one house -other "shades" were seen by family membvers either when by themselves or in twos.I have even been in one property where on a staircase I felt great fear and wanted to run back up the stairs. I did not. I turned around and walked slowly backwards up the stairs one of the people living there at the time said to me "That wasn't long. You feel it too?" and explained that his partner rarelt went downstairs alone. I tell this to people who look at me and say "But you never run away -is this a joke?"

In the mid 1960s, in Dalborn, Germany, I was with my mother and father -I believe my Opa was there- as we watched an airship cruise over the forest near the farm. We were told that there were no airships over Germany in the 1960s. Later back in England pupils in my class were asked to draw their favourite aircraft. I onpoy knew an airship so drew it and the teacher noted it was quite detailed so I explained where I had seen one. I was loudly mocked for the claim that I was one of 5 (I can't remember if my late brother was present) people who saw one.

I know how UFO observers feel when they are mocked for seeing a "flying saucer"!

I was with two other village boyts, again in Germany but between Dalborn and Lemgo and in overcast and quite thundery feeling weather when we saw a huge (6-7 feet?) misty figure at the top of a path. Well defined but featureless. We all thought it must be a farmer -we reckoned that rather than that it looked like a huge ghost!

Gathering fodder for my German grandfather (Opa)rabbits was achore that involved most of the family and we walked through lovely warm summer weather with fields to our left and the forest to our right. One day we saw something large and fur covered (fur had a gloss to it)suddenly leap about 10 feet (3m) into the forestry. It was so quick that we never got to see if before bthe blour leapt and we could hear it as it went through the tree branches. Seven of us saw the furred back as it shot off. I looked at my Opa and said "Was that a monkey?!"  He simply laughed and waved odff the suggested. "Nein. Es war ein Sturmgeist. Ich habe vorhin einen auf dem Baumstumpf dort drüben sitzen sehen" ("No. It was a storm ghost. I saw one sitting on the tree stump over there a while ago"). The point he pointed to was a wired off piece of field that had a tree stump in it and it was where our "blur" had more or less come from. I never found out why a tiny grassy field that was never used and only had a tree stump in it was wired off.

Interestingly, my second oldest cousin when he was told about this sighting later that evening went into a red faced rage telling -not suggesting- us we had only seen a "fishing bird" (cormorant) and I told him that we all saw the fur and --screeching and insistence followed that it had been a cormorant. It made no sense but my Opan signed to me to let the subject drop. Something happened but no idea what.

Just outside the village was the forestry and just before that the cemetery. On more than one occasion my Oman (grand mother) saw something in the forestry that scared her. On one occasion she heard a noise from the forestry and ran back to the village. She would never explain what had happened but "machine gun Marta" had lived under Nazi occupation, been part of the war time exodus to the West where her refugee column had been strafed by Allied fighters and lived under Russian occupation and seen some nasty things so she was not the panicky sort.

I think that after a major UFO flap in 1977.1978 that I was the only investigator of I deserved a holiday and...I was sat my the kitchen window in my grandparents home back in Dalborn when something caught my eye. About 1 kilometre away a bright object (ist mag)rose from the forestry and ascended in a step-like fashion upward. "Sod off" I said out loud just after drawing how it moved in the back of a book.

Probably the strangest thing that happened to me was when we lived on a farm in Dalborn and I must have bee 8 or 9 years old. It was winter and ice had covered the huge pond (I call it a mini lake). Ice had to be broken so the geese could use it so I was the youngest and left with a boating rod (a long piece of wood with heavy brass hook at the end) whikle the adults and other kids went to the far side of the pond.  At one point as I broke ice the weight of the brass hook and slippery ice grass combined to make me fall into the water. As I sank I could see the broken vegetation float by and the concrete vent that let fresh water into the bottom of the pond. That was it. Next thing I remember was that I was about 3 feet (90cms) from the edge of the pond -actually facing it- and in the background saw the adults and kids run along the side of the pond toward me having just seen me fall in. 

Weirdly I can vaguely recall telling everyone that I was okay and then walking home. Entering the house my mother asked "What have you done -you're soaked through?" My reply? "I fell in a puddle" -and, yes, that sounds ridiculous even after all of this time because the simnple response would have been "Oh, I fell in the pond" but "a puddle"?  I still cannot work out how I reached the botton of the pond (not even panicky as I recall) but then was on all fours facing the pond from a distance, As far as I know no one saw me get out of the pond. I've often wanted to have hypnotherapy for that!

My experiences have covered a wide field -including Cryptozoology: I spotted a black and white fox while in Gernany that I later identified as a raccoon-like dog and this was a few years before they were officially seen in Westphalia.

Some of this is detailed more in my books Some Things Strange and Sinister and Some More Things Strange and Sinister so when I say I am sceptical but open to evidence this ought to explain why.

It's all about selling lies -Charles Fort proved it

Charles Hoy Fort

 "I can't give you the name but I can tell you---"

"I strongly protect the witnesses so I am not prepared to give a name"

"I re-write hand written statements from witnesses to hide their identity"

"I have dealt with thousands of UFO abductees every year. Their identities are hidden"

"people may say the reports are just made up. Let them. I protect witness anonymity"

Phrases used by frauds in Ufology, Forteana, Cryptozoology, "ghost hunting" etc.  Yes, protect the anonymity as requested but you need to show more trusted people in your field who the witnesses are even if you mask their addresses.

Certain cases I have asked people with no connection to the subject to just look at the necessary part that shows a percipient/witness is named and that what I have written is truthful to t6he account I was given. These people have no interest in my "crazy stuff" BUT if anyone questions something I can call on them to state that they have seen the report and names of those involved. The important thing is that I can prove who said or wrote what.

People have come out over the years to give their stories, however, I still will not identify them as I gave them a promise of confidentiality BUT if they ask someone to check with me I will confirm details.

In the last couple of years report after report after report has fallen by the wayside  for reasons such as "There was never a full report" (??) or "there was just a standard UFO report form-no idea where it is now" and, an actual standard response: "No idea where the witness(es) are now. Lost contact with them years ago" and... no proof that in certain major cases the percipient even existed. And I am talking well known CE3K cases. Many just have a Low rating because those investigators associated with them have been outed as faking reports for unknown reasons since the 1970s but will not say which of their reports these were. In other words out of 100 reports we cannot accept and verify which are genuine.

Someone has "thousands of UFO abduction reports a ytear" I am calling out as a liar as absolutely no proof of this exists. These people are telling those reporting a UFO sighting that they were likely abducted and push them into regression hypnosis on the first investigator visit.  we use our "hypnotherapist and psychic" ... you just lost credibility.

There are NOT millions of abductions each year around the world. There are not "Hundreds of thousands" either. Likely not even "many hundreds". I believe they are rare but every case of sleep paralysis, altered state etc is taken as a genuine UFO abduction. 

Evidence?  Check out the various US haunting TV shows and TWICE I watched someone say: "I looked at my bedside clock and it was 1.00am. I  turned over. When I turned back it was 3.30  -I loist two-and-a-half hours!!"  It's called sleep.

A 'UFO abductee': "I recall that it was 1 am and I was having trouble sleeping  but closed my eyes and then I looked at the clock and it was 5 am!!"  Again: it is called sleep (that fella got more sleep than I get!).

You need to record all details. Always maintain contact with a percipient if only to see if anything has happened to them since the first encounter.  You make a full report of what is known -NOT jump straight in with hypnosis. Alkways make sure that you can prove you have a genuine report and, never ever do what five different ufologists have tried with me "Oh, the full report is in my book...you can buy a copy?"  

Charles Fort, incidentally, was on abvious fibber or very bad archivist because reports he dates to certain newspapers do not exist. Details of events do not exist as he reported them.  I know because for 50 years I have searched the archives, scrolled through books and historical records and... well, Fort was the Poster Child for Cryptozoology, Forteana and Ufology not to mention ghost hunters. I do suspect, however, that Fort's insistence that there should NOT be a Fortean Society was because he made a lot up and probably was a jokester.  All the evidencer is in my archives.

Odd Reversal?

 More people are visiting the CE3K/Alien Entity Study blog now than this one. A complete reversal of the norm.

Please remember there are books!

Forteans. Ufologists. Cryptozoologists and "Ghost Hunters"

 John Keel stated at a convention that "I think Ufology has probably had more hoaxes than any other Fortean filed"

Seee approx 40minutes in

Ufologists do not read history or pay attention to Forteans. Forteans tend to think Ufologists are stupid or silly and only read history they are told to as "it's Fortean".  Cryptozoologists tend to ignore Forteans and Ufologists as believing in silly stories. We  can throw "Ghost hunters" into that mix.  There is one thing they are united in, however:

Lying, bending the truth to fit their own theory, hoaxing and in 99% of cases they can be proved to be doing this. Butno one speaks out (unless it is to attack each others fantasies)

Is This A Meteorite?

 

All I can tell you is that I was shaving in the bathroom one day just over 15 years ago. At the time the back garden was covered in gravel and the day before I had removed weeds growing there.  Just grey and sandy covered gravel.

As I shaved I heard a kind of "Thud" as though something heavy had been dropped on the gravel. I looked out of the window and saw no one.

Later that afternoon I had to put a garden spade back into the shed and it was impossible to notice this object in the middle of the sandy and grey gravel. It had just appeared there about 10 feet (3m) from the bathroom window.

I sent photos out to various people but not a single response.

It Is ALL One Big Mess

 

 In the last few months I have tried to update report files.I have worked solidly to make sure that all the details are saved for posterity.  

With British Ufology I have found that one "majhor case" after another simply crumbled away. One particular Ufologist was involved in three of these and NOW, after being asked for any extra information, his fellow investigator has cast major doubt on the authenticity of what was reported. Checking one case the location is dubious but the name of the percipient does not appear in any registery for that county...ever.

Another tells a good story but this is how it went down:

Me: "Is it possible to please get a copy of the investigation report?"

Inv:"The details are in my book"

Me: "Well, I cannot put a whole book into a folder and the report itself would stand as better evidence"

after a delay:

Inv: "I can send you a word doc but if used it will need to be credited to me"

Me: "No problem  there. Thanks for your effort"

The email arrived. It was the chapter from his book. I contacted him again and explained that I would very much like to include an actual investigation report  in the files:

Inv: "There was only a standard UFO report form on the UFO"

Me: "Okay, can I get a copy of that please?"

Inv: "I don't know where it is. I think I ghave it to a Ufologist."

This was a case that Ufologist has pushed as major and involving "UFO abduction" and much, much more. All he had was his notes from his book and not even the report form which he gave away (ever hear of a photo copier?). The evidence for the case is ZERO. It canbnot be used as anything other than a file filler.

So how about another one of his "Major UFO incident and abduction" cases that he has written and spoken of extensively?  No report.  A third case.... well, he is not getting back to me on that one (it has been a couple weeks).

This is not a fluke. Two other authors recently told me they havce no idea where their notes are on "significant" cases and I suspect that there are no reports and that means those cases have to be classed as LOW evidence (opne even admits to ignoring a letter from teenage witnesses BECAUSE they were "kids".

Out of ten 'Ufologists' who wrote books on abductionshow many do you think know how to get in touch with the percipients or have stayed in touch with them?  Not a single one. They got what they wanted -info for a bvook or chapter in a book and that was it.

Mona Stafford is the last surviving member of the trio said to have been abducted in Liberty, Kentucky in 1975. That was a major case with all the extra anecdotal evidence and look what happened. The trio were milked dry for everything to go into magazines and books and then dumped. Even the 'stellar' MUFON had no idea about the case until I reminded them and they had no contact details. They did not know that two of the women had passed away. Mona Stafford appeared on a news (TV) item back in the mid 2000s and I have tried newspapers and even the reporter/TV station that interviewed her -no contact details. I try and try and try but a failure every time.

Here is another: Kelly Cahill involved in one of the most spectacular UFO abduction cases (1993 Australia). Multiple on board percipients and physiological evidence and independent corroboration and the Paranormal Research Australia report would have all the tech and scienbtific analyses to make it as close to absolute evidence as you can get.  Kelly did the UFO conference circle pointing this out and it was bviously wearing her down based on the body language at times. Then....someone in PRA gave out the names of the witnesses who had come forward based on their anonimity being preserved. A court case against PRA and the report has never appeared (likely due to legal reasons).

Yes, Ufologists ****** up everything.

The PRA would not respond to me -and I have tried a few times. So I tried to contact Cahill: dead end. I contacted any Australian UFO group I could find. Two had never (?!) heard of the case and the others "no idea".  Yes, a truly major UFO event screwed up by the investigators (and I have always been open to hearing their side of things) and the known main witness.... no one knows where she is.  I suspect that after all the work Cahill put into making facts known the betrayal of witness confidentiality (as in the case of the three Liberty percipients) and what ensued she simply walked away and got on with her lifr.

We lost the Kathy Reeves family encounter from 1965 BECAUSE of a lazy Ufologist. We lost all the details from Eupora, 1973 BECAUSE of racist Ufologists and there is a catalogue of such histories. 

We have lost cases that may have been historically significant and no one is interested in 2026 because there is no money ot great publicity for them.

THAT is Ufology.
