On the 28 Nov 1980 my father was driving the family car home from Salwick UK. As we drove down a country lane a very large craft appeared on the passenger side of the car.

It was 50ft away and 20ft off the ground. It began to track the speed of the car. I was trying to wind the window down and point while shouting ‘look!!!’
My Dad shouted at me to wind the window up. He sped up and was driving very fast. My mum was screaming. I felt excited but I also felt a sort of static tingling and heart palpitations.

I recall it like it was yesterday.

My father scratched the car up to a pub doorway and dragged me out of the car and inside. In the pub my parents were telling people what happened and they were all looking out of the window. Those in the pub were excited and pointed before the ufo suddenly shot up and vanished in a split second.

My parents along with me and other patrons went outside to scan the skies. My father went to open the car door but the locks was frozen solid and the key wouldn’t insert in the lock. Someone from the pub got warm water to pour on the door. They eventually got the lock open and pried the door open. We got in the car and began driving home. I don’t recall much about the drive home but I do recall my parents crying when we got home and I was sent to bed. I overheard them talking about time being lost and it that age I didn’t understand what they were referring to. My parent told me not to talk about and said my Dad would lose his job if I talked. He was quite senior at British Aerospace in Samlesbury.

Over the years my parents would always acknowledge it happened but wouldn’t allow me to discuss it further.

My father has since died and I have no contact with my mother. She changed towards me after that experience. I have had a number of X-rays since the sighting and they all say I have a random small object in my leg behind the knee.

This info was like a squashed football shape with a flat dome on the top 1/4 with translucent material and we could see movement inside but not clear outlines. The middle 2 1/4’s had lights around the circumference and the bottom 1/4 was like a very shallow cone this was textured with vertical lines and was either spinning or vibrating.

Since this day I have had numerous other sightings but always quite far away.
In addition to that I have had numerous occasions where I wake up and appear to be on a bed in my room but there is an iridescent overlay that covers the room. I can see 3-4 alien beings who are around the bed along with others who look more human. They always communicate in basic terms and tell me to relax.
I have obvious questioned my sanity over the years and if it weren’t for the fact that I wasn’t alone when we had the close contact in 1980.
