Introduction
In most
cases of contact, the individuals involved are actually physically visited or
taken by ETs. Quite often the beings will not speak with them, or provide them
with any information at all. However in this case the opposite seems to have
taken place. A man and his daughter appear to have both received information from an
ET species visiting the Earth, but have not actually had any face-to-face
encounters with them. For a period of
months, around the same time they received the information, the witnesses also had
many UFO sightings, some of which have been quite impressive.

reasons.
Early UFO Sighting
Neil’s
first remembered UFO sighting occurred when he was 7 years old. He remembers being outside soon after his grandmother died, and seeing a glowing light descend from the sky. At the time he thought it was a vision to do with his grandmother's death, but looking back
at the incident he wonders if it was instead an early sighting of an ET craft.
Crescent Shaped Lights
In late
November 2010, Neil and his partner were out on an evening walk when they
witnessed several crescent shaped glowing lights in the sky. There was also a
brighter light ahead of the crescents at a higher altitude. Neil has so far not
provided any further information about this particular sighting, but if he does
so this section will be updated.
Flying Triangle Encounter
On 3rd
November 2011 Neil was out in his car in Darlington, on his way back home after
collecting his dog from a relative’s house. It was 8.35pm and a clear moonlit
evening. He was at the junction between Fulthorpe Avenue and Lunedale Road on
the Mowden Estate. As he glanced to the right to turn, he noticed some glowing
lights in the sky to the South. They appeared to be over the West Cemetery area
about ¼ to ½ mile away. They appeared to be about 2000-3000 feet high.

and Lunedale Road:

At first Neil
assumed they were Chinese lanterns, which he was familiar with, especially as
it was only two days before bonfire night. He turned onto Lunedale Road. A few
seconds later he realised the lights were moving together in a downward
pointing triangular formation at a fast velocity. They appeared to be rapidly
descending in a swooping arc towards him. He also noticed that they weren’t the
usual amber orange colour of lanterns. Two of the lights were yellow and the
third one was red.
Neil was
interested in what the lights could be so he began slowing the car to observe
them. Another car pulled up behind his, so he stopped opposite the junction to
Birkdale Road to let the other car past. He then turned into the junction to
view the lights front on. Within seconds the object was much closer and lower
down. Neil could now see that it was a black coloured triangle shaped object,
with a light at each point. It was clearly solid and was blocking out the
moonlit sky. It appeared to be flying at a vertical angle, exposing the lights
on its base. Neil estimates that each side of the triangle was about 300 feet
across.

stopped the car to observe the UFO:

The
object swooped towards his location, descending in altitude as it came. It was
now at relatively low altitude, well below cloud level. Neil opened the car
door to see if it was making any sound but it was completely silent. The dog
did not seem particularly bothered by the proximity of the UFO. Neil got out
his camera phone to try and video the object but his hands were shaking so much
that he could not correctly enter his password. Then as it flew alongside his
location the lights suddenly dimmed and the object completely vanished.

In total Neil
had watched the object for about 60-90 seconds. He was convinced that it was an
advanced craft of some kind, and extraterrestrial in origin. It was far too
large to have been a radio controlled model. He drove the rest of the way home
and informed his partner Paula about what he had seen. She could immediately
see that he was shaken up by the experience, and it was very clear to her that
he had seen something.
This type
of craft has been reported by witnesses many times before, and is commonly
referred to as a “Flying Triangle”. While the lighting configuration on these
craft can vary, they are generally described as black/dark navy in colour, and
usually have a light at each corner. Sometimes a central light is also seen.
While some people feel that the explanation for these sightings is a top secret
military project, there are numerous reasons why many others, myself included,
believe that they are extraterrestrial in origin. They have been seen all
around the world for numerous decades, and commonly are witnessed over highly
populated areas. I have also looked into numerous contact cases which directly
involve this type of craft.
Noted Side Effects
After his
initial sighting of the Flying Triangle, Neil found it took him days to calm
back down. However it still haunts him, and since that day he has never had
more than 5 hours sleep and his sleep is continually broken.
He also
began to suffer from depression like symptoms. He had never suffered from this
before in his life, even after traumatic incidents such as the death of his
brother. These symptoms have since died down, but it certainly appears that
they were linked directly with the UFO sighting. These types of symptoms are
often experienced by contactees; however the incident itself appeared to have
just been a sighting, nothing more. Neil has no recollection of any missed time
or signs which would suggest he was abducted.
The Triangle Returns
Within
weeks, the Flying Triangle that Neil had seen would be witnessed again. But the
second sighting of it was not by Neil, but by his daughter Emily and her
friend. It occurred on a Saturday night (exact date unknown). Emily was
standing at the junction between Salutation Road and Baydale Road.

Below is an overview of what happened in Emily’s own words (provided to me by Neil):
“We saw
it about 10.15pm. We were stood in the middle of the road talking and saw the
triangle when we looked up. The triangle was directly above me and my friend
below cloud level. It was totally silent. It was there for about 15-20 seconds
before just disappearing into thin air. It may have been there slightly longer
before we noticed it as it was totally silent, I’m unsure.”
After
discussing the sighting with her father, Emily and Neil came to the agreement
that it was the same craft. It is fascinating that they both had an encounter
with this craft, and this is far too unlikely to have just been a coincidence.
It implies that direct interaction was going on and that Neil and Emily were
being monitored by the UFO for whatever purpose.
Glowing Orb Sighting
It wasn’t
long before Neil and Emily had another UFO sighting. Neil visits Emily most
Wednesdays, and they often go to visit his mother. It was the evening of
Wednesday 7th December 2011. They were out walking the dog round the
neighbourhood. They were walking down Leith Road and just passing the junction
of Crammond Close. Neil looked in the direction of the close, and this is when
he noticed a brightly glowing orb of white light to the South West. It appeared
to be about 120 metres from their location, over a small area of woodland.
Initially it was about 150 feet in the air. It did not appear to be very large.
Emily estimates it was about the size of a football, but Neil believes it was smaller
than this and no bigger than a grapefruit.

the estimated position of the orb (B):

The orb
was descending in altitude fairly rapidly and was only visible for a few
seconds before it was obscured by the trees. Neil wanted to go into the wood to
see if they could spot the object again, but Emily was frightened and didn’t
want to get any nearer. She began to drag Neil away, which in turn started to
upset the dog. Neil decided to leave things and so they both began to walk
home, discussing what they had seen.
Neil says
that the movement of the orb appeared to be controlled rather than random
drifting. He is familiar with what Chinese lanterns look like, and has seen
videos of LED balloons on the internet. He says that this object looked
different to either of these. It was moving too slowly to have been a
meteorite, and it is unlikely to have been an earth light or ball lightning
because the weather was clear, and these do not tend to appear over built up
areas. Could this have been an unmanned probe that was once again observing Neil
and Emily?
The White Light
The next
two sightings were witnessed by Neil, and took place on 23rd and 24th December
2011. On both occasions he witnessed a very bright glowing white light over the
Mowden Estate.
On the 23rd
December between 6.30-7pm Neil was out walking his dog along Brinkburn Road,
Darlington. It was a clear and pleasant evening and due to the time of year the
sun had already set. Due to the previous UFO sightings, Neil was keeping one
eye on the sky.
Suddenly
he noticed a bright white light to the South West. It appeared to be over the
area of Mowden, 1-2 miles away from his location. Neil estimates it was a
couple of thousand feet high, although this was hard to judge due to the
distance. The light was motionless.
He
continued to watch it for about 15 minutes. During this time he decided to try
and record it using his mobile phone. Unfortunately it did not come out. In the
end he decided to continue on his route along Auckland Avenue. He occasionally
looked back and could still see the light in the sky. In the end he lost it
behind the nearby buildings.

was seen:
The
object was definitely not Venus as this could also be seen elsewhere in the
sky. Neil does not think it was a helicopter as it looked much too bright, no
other navigation lights were visible and he could hear no sound coming from it.
The
following evening Neil was once again out walking his dog along Willow Road. It
was later than the previous evening. He looked up and once again spotted the
glowing white light at roughly the same location as before. Again he watched it
a while before continuing on his way.
Aerial map showing Willow Road:
While
these sightings could easily be put down to a distant helicopter, especially
considering the fact that it appeared 2 nights in a row and just before
Christmas, Neil is adamant that it was
something else. He is fully aware of what aircraft and helicopters look like
after dark and says that this was different. He has not seen it since those two
evenings.
Information Transmission
From
about two days after his sighting of the Flying Triangle, Neil began to feel
that something was trying to transmit information directly to him. This
information came to him as both thoughts and still images in his mind. It was
not continuous but would come through at random times. This communication
continued until early 2012. Back in November and December it was happening
several times a week, but then seemed to die down. When it occurred, Neil would
get a ringing in his ears similar to tinnitus.
Below Neil
tries to describe what this information transmission was like in his own words:
“The
images felt like they were placed in my memory rather than sudden flashes. I had
a vivid imagination as a child, so know that these were not a product of it.
They were almost like a memory that had been placed there. It is difficult to
describe. The thoughts were similar. It was like they were placed into my mind,
rather than my imagination thinking them up. I could suddenly think of them, but
other times it sort of came back to me like a memory. Many times I was not
actually able to comprehend what they were trying to say. I just don’t think my
intelligence is up to it.”
When this
communication started to happen, Neil realised that something similar was
already happening to his daughter Emily. Back in December she had confided in
him that she was being contacted by something which was giving her information
and causing buzzing in her ears. She wondered whether it was a spirit of some
kind. Neil had already been given an overview from Emily of what type of
information she felt she was receiving. He was now receiving very similar
information to this, so was aware that this was the same thing. The fact that
both him and his daughter were now both experiencing this seemed to suggest
that it was really happening and not just the result of a medical condition.
Some of
the thoughts/images were clear where as others were more indistinct. The information
received included the following:
-
The beings in contact
with them were from elsewhere in the universe.
-
The beings look somewhat
similar to Greys. They are short in height, have large craniums and eyes, and
long slender limbs. However they also possess more human-like features such as
a small nose and mouth. We share common origins with them.
-
They come from a
planet larger than the Earth with a very sparse population spread over a small
number of settlements. The planet has much less light than on Earth, with a
deep blue tinge to the sky. There is one small sun which provides most of what
light there is. There is also a very bright star which can be seen during
daylight hours. The air on the planet is just breathable by humans; you get
breathless very easily there. Gravity is stronger so you feel very heavy, and
it is difficult to get up if you sit or lie down. It is difficult to move
around.
-
The beings have no
written language and do not speak vocally. Communication is direct via
telepathy.
-
They do have the
concept of right and wrong, but do not express complex emotions. They do not
have relationships or family, and do not understand why humans have this.
-
They do not follow any
religion, nor do they have money or an economy. They do not understand the
human need for this.
-
They travel to Earth
by somehow short cutting space and travelling vast distances in an instant.
Time and distance isn’t constant as we think of it, but rather broken by minute
interludes. Another way of looking at it is as pulses of time/distance. By
getting between one of the pulses, you can exit at another future distant
interlude without using any time but having travelled a great distance. The key
to travelling like this is to calculate the entry and exit point interludes
together as they are tiny fractions.
Their technology can do this. It is possible to move backwards and
forwards between any points in distance but time is static, you do not travel
forwards or backwards in time. This sort of
travel is possible anywhere either in space, in the air or even on the ground.
This method of travel is used by all intelligent races and is the only
realistic way to travel between star systems given the distances involved. It
is also possible but highly improbable to accidently travel through interludes.
This has happened on occasion by pure chance, but often the entry and exits are
not aligned and the individual/vehicle is lost. There have been some that have
achieved it but do not realise what has happened.
-
They will not give
mankind their space travel technology as we are not ready for it
developmentally. Doing so would enable man to export aggression and war
anywhere. It is safer that we do not have it until we are ready for it. Our
science was moving along this route, but our theories took a wrong turn. One
person even carried out practical experiments (Neil was not informed who).
-
They have historically
had contact with the human race at a governmental level. However due to abuse
of knowledge and technology which they have shared, they now limit their
contact to ordinary people.
-
The public is being
misled about climate change and fossil fuel reserves. This is done for
economical reasons. A lot of the “facts” of the world are incorrect.
-
They have indicated
locations of oil and gas resources which are known about but kept secret for
economical reasons. These locations have
included the Yorkshire coast, and the Atlantic Ocean near to Greenland.
-
There are problems
with the Earth’s crust which are beyond anyone’s control. Apparently our
understanding of the Earth’s crust and core is wrong. A lot more of it is
molten metal rather than rock and this molten metal has currents like the
oceans. The seismic and volcanic events
we’ve seen over the last few years are due to increased currents in the molten
metallic core of the Earth caused by a macro-magnetic effect. These energies
find their way to surface disrupting the thinner upper layers and the crust
itself. This has happened periodically on all young planets composed of iron
like the Earth. It will probably settle down, but there is a chance that it can
cause extinction on the planet.
-
They do not possess
weapons as we know them, but have intervened at numerous points in the past to
prevent catastrophe. If they wish they can interfere with our electrical
technology.
-
They do not wish for
unrestrained direct contact with humans as we can become aggressive when
frightened and pose a threat to them.
-
They have also
provided disturbing information about the future of Earth and the human race. Neil
has trouble understanding all of it. It causes him confusion and pain, and he
is uncomfortable with talking about it with me at present.
-
Emily has also been
informed that at some point they will need to take a number of people, mostly
young. There is no indication as to whether these people will be brought back
or not.
A lot of
the information which Neil has received he also heard about from his daughter
without any prompting. This included details about the beings planet, their
method of travel and the information about the Earth’s crust. This is one of
the reasons Neil feels certain that communication really did take place. Another
reason is the fact that it seemed to begin shortly after his initial close
encounter with the Flying Triangle.
Neither
he or Emily currently understand why they were given this information, why it
ceased after a time, or what they are supposed to do with this knowledge.
Further Triangle Sightings
In early
2012 Neil and Emily both had further sightings of a triangular shaped object, possibly
the same craft they had seen previously.
On one
evening they were walking along Edinburgh Drive between 7-8pm. It was a
pleasant moonlit evening with broken cloud in the sky. They were walking past
Hummersknott School when something made them look skyward to the East. Through
a gap in the cloud they saw a clearly defined black triangular shape blocking
out the stars. There were no lights on it this time but Neil and Emily were
both convinced that there was something present.

and the estimated position of the witnesses:

was seen:
As they
watched, they both felt a strange electrical sensation. They felt that the
object was trying to communicate with them, although no clear thoughts or
images came through. After a while they decided to continue walking, and left
the triangle still present in the sky.
On the
second occasion Neil was round visiting his mother with his partner and
daughter. He and Emily were outside the house when again they suddenly noticed
the triangular object in the sky, this time hovering over the housing estate.
Once again they felt the electrical sensation the same as before. Neil called
his partner out to come and see the object but by the time she had come outside
it had vanished from sight.
Conclusion
Although
Neil and Emily have not had any physical encounters with the ET beings (at
least to their current knowledge) it certainly appears that they have been in
contact with another intelligence. You may feel that some of the information
received is far-fetched, or believe that this has another more mundane
explanation. Obviously it cannot be fully ruled out that Neil and Emily’s own
imagination did not play a part in the information received. However what
cannot be easily explained is how Neil and Emily would have received such
similar information independently from one another.
As I have
not yet interviewed Emily directly I have no definite proof of this, but see no
reason for why Neil would be making all of this up. He has provided a lot of
details across numerous E-Mails and appears both serious and level headed about
what has happened.
Also the
many UFO sightings that both witnesses have had around the same months that
this communication was taking place should not be ignored. It does seem to
suggest that something definite has occurred, and that the communication and the UFOs they saw were linked. If any further details are provided surrounding this intriguing case, this report will be updated.
