Here is A basic run down of what happened.

The whole thing is very long a drawn out so i try to keep it to a minimum. Suffice it to say, if there's an avenue to investigate other than the ufo thing, I have more or less covered it, but I am open to options.

A bit of background. Philip and I were into Country and Western, C.B's and the rolling stones. I had no interest in ufo's or anything like that.

1982 late Sept.
We decided to visit the relatives in Corby Northant's and at around 8pm we had arrived at Sudbury Suffolk. As we approached, a horshoe shaped group of lights flew very low over the car at the same time that we passed under some power cables. I remember the lights, the silence and the blue tendrils bouncing off the cables, my first though was "Helicopter" but everything was wrong, it's movement, speed, silence etc.

As we drove out through the town, through Long Melford and headed along the Claire to Haverhill rd, it came back and zipped over the car 2 or 3 times scaring the pair of us.

The thing finally matched our speed and ran parallel with us for some time along the road. From the side it was a big, bright egg shaped light with a faint set of smaller coloured lights rotating around inside. I guess it was between 50 and 100 feet away and the whole thing was at least the size of the length of our car (cortina mk2). It was NOT the moon or any such object as it negotiated the hedges and telegraph wires. I had plenty of time to get a GOOD look at it. Philip on the other hand was so scared he just looked straight ahead.

The car suddenly acted as if it had run out of petrol and died along with the lights. We both had an argument as to who would look under the bonnet and then got out together. Me to keep my eyes on this thing as it hovered silently over the field.

The next thing I know was We were both back in the car, engine running, lights on and *it* was still hovering. I did not notice this gap until later. We basically felt very quiet and subdued for want of a better explanation and just drove off as fast as possible. We never spoke the rest of the way, or I do not think we did.

We arrived at Corby, not at 10pm as expected, but 1.30-1.45am!

it was the following day I suffered a severe nose bleed (never had one before or since) and from that night on until about now I started doing drawings, writing, typing and generally was ill. I had a very bad burn mark on my chest which has scarred and a *V* shaped incision on my back. The rest of my medical problems are too much to catalogue here, but I was fine before. My lifestyle, eating habits and personality has completely changed.

For 3 years I was afraid to go outside. I split with Philip by Jan 1st on very violent terms, he was NEVER a violent person before. I sought medical help over some of the problems but never mentioned my fears of it being possibly *UFO* partly as I didn't admit it to myself and partly as I was embarrassed and felt i would be laughed at as a fool.

1988.
A free paper with an article about UFO's popped through the door & I phoned up the group. They came and saw me and after getting very excited arranged a hypnosis session.

As the hypnotist started to put me under, a beam of light appeared in the room, the video and audio equipment malfunctioned and spun around, the sceptic who came to observe was pinned to the chair with such force as to leave claw marks on his arms and all the clocks in the house stopped. I never got hypnotised, but they did bring in a psychic investigator.

Mark Parnham tried showing me a film called "The Betty & Barney Hill story" I became completely Hysterical to the point where he had to call the hypnotist on the phone to try to calm me down. I felt a flood of memories come back and a lot of disjointed memories slot into place. I have NEVER seen the film or any UFO film like it to this date. I can't. Mark has worked with me and still does to this day. We Married in 1990 and he has to live with me and my problems 24 hrs a day, so there's no hiding anything.

I do not sleep very well at all & tend to go to bed about 3am these days. In an effort to overcome it all I now try to help others, talk to people and try to get the thing into the open and stop people laughing. Sometimes it is hard especially when I do shows such as one recent one on Meridian TV which was 45 mins with a psychiatrist and him trying to tell me it's in my head.

I hope this is some use. If there are any questions I will try to answer them. To help here are a few of my own faq's:

Q/ Why me? A/Don't know.

Q/Is it too many "B" movies? A/ No I saw War of the Worlds and these were not Green martians, which until then was my idea of aliens.

Q/ Is it your mind mis firing? A/ Put me in a chamber and make it misfire so I can compare the reaction. And how do you explain the scars and medical problems.

Q/Could it be electro magnetic? A/Got me there. I am interested in that possibility, but then again it still doesn't answer the medical problems.

Q/ Was it my imagination? A/There were 2 of us.Also I have written things I have no knowledge off. I want to know how come what happened to me is almost identical to what has happened all around the world. Too common to be a coincidence if you ask me.

Q/ was it a cover up for a deeper emotional problem? A/ Life was fine before. If it was something that happened like 20 years ago why did it occur just then. Oh yep and then there's those medical problems again.

Q/ What did the doctors say? A/ Pull yourself together. As for the rest there is nothing they can do now. Scars can be seen but theres no way of telling how they got there. Basically they have been absolutely no help at all, albeit I havn't said it was "aliens" I have just given them the symptoms and they say "take a pill" And that is Literally! So far migraleve, for the headache, sleeping pills for the nights, valium (or somewthing like it) for the nerves, And I was sent 2 young women to help teach me relaxation techniques and try to get me out of the house. NOTE! I never took any medication prescribed as I thought I would never get to the bottom of the problem all drugged up! I do have a terror of doctors, surgeries etc. Just getting to the dentist takes about 7 years of stress!!! (feels that way!)

Q/ did i check out the area for reports? A/ I checked the Papers and found a report of "lights sighted over sudbury" The local Police were not interested, the government and military were less than helpfull and I found out in 1995 that an incident happened not too many miles away at Rendlesham forest..

Q/ What are my feelings? A/ I think something is going on. I don't think its ET type aliens, but then I don't know what to believe, probably a military thing.

Q/ What do I think Happened? A/ I remember being in a room with a large perspex type pedestal in the centre. I remember being led to it, I didn't struggle (don't know why not) and I was laid down on the thing. I remember sensing the whole procedure was clinical, like the tagging, weighing and measuring of a wild animal. The" Greys " never spoke out loud just telepathically and there was a taller blond haired person. I don't know what happened only that I get VERY upset if I try to remember. I won't undergo hypnosis asi feel that will spoil/taint the result. When i am ready to face it i will remember.

sorry if that's a long letter but I thought I would try to cover everything and get my point across. Rather than the usual, I say what's happened, and the world tells me why it didn't. As if I am mindless and never thought to check it out myself first!

any more questions please contact me.
