If the above heading seems familiar to you, go to
the head of the class, because you are a regular
reader of this magazine. (Thank you!) In our last
issue, we reported that a Surrey resident, whom we
shall refer to here as R.W., called our hotline in
January 98, to report a very strange and
unsettling incident that had taken place at his
home. That incident was just the latest in a life
that seemed to be peppered with odd events. Those
of you who haven’t a clue what I’m referring to
will have to pick up a back issue. Anyway, the
phone rang again about Apr.16, and it was R.W.
again. Now here were two possibilities: 1) R.W.
didn’t like my last report, or 2) there was a new
incident to write up. Thankfully, the latter was
correct.
Here is
what R.W. had to tell us this time, and I
personally believe him to be a sincere fellow,
that has better things to do with his time than
sit around and think of ways to amuse us here at
UFO*BC. We can usually find our own methods of
amusement. Here’s what happened: It was after 1
a.m. on Monday, April 16/98 and R.W. was in bed in
the basement area of his house, there were two
young boys sharing the room with him, his son, age
10, and I believe, a nephew that was sleeping
over. Apparently his son is a very light sleeper,
and is easily woken. That wasn’t the case this
night.
R.W., who
was lying quietly, not yet sleeping, suddenly
became aware of a combination whirring/whistling
sound, the room became hazy, and filled with a
bluish green coloured light. The usually easily
awoken son, and the nephew, slept on. To R.W.’s
utter amazement, an object appeared directly over
him, that was 4 feet across, approximately 6 feet
long, and about 3 feet above him. According to
R.W., this object was shaped like the bottom of a
boat. At this point, he felt that his arms were
being extended upward, and he involuntarily
grabbed onto the bottom of the object. He
described the feel of this thing as warm and
slippery, it had the feel of ‘tin foil’. The
colour was grey and black, he also saw something
he describes as a ‘window’, about 6 inches wide,
and covering the length of the object. R.W. tells
us that he was in this position, with his arms
extended holding onto this object for two hours,
with the incident ending at about 4:15 a.m. He
also sensed a voice telling him ‘not to be
afraid’. His memory is sketchy past this point,
but we can assume that the object retreated to
where ever it originated from, R.W. finally got
normal use of his limbs, and went to sleep. He
reports that his left hand was burned and that he
felt quite ill the following day, with burning and
watering eyes.
A few days
later, while in a bank lineup, he saw a blue/green
ball of light, and felt that there were hands on
his shoulders. He seems to think that a lady in
the bank must have seen this also, as she was
looking in his direction at this time, but if she
did, she didn’t respond in any way.
Now,
we really don’t know what to make of all this, and
R.W. is just as puzzled, and I feel reasonably
certain that we haven’t heard the last from our
friend in Surrey. There are of course many
questions, and very few answers. But we will
continue to take the calls, gather the
information, and pass it on. The late entertainer,
John Denver, in a lyric from one of his many hits,
sang "Life is just a funny, funny riddle". Who
could disagree? Until the phone rings again.....
