I would like to meet these people involved in ufology Jaime Maussan , Stanton T Friedman , Mary Rodwell of ACERN ( Australia Close Encounter Network )Robert Dean, Budd Hopkins, Linda Moulton Howe roy lake amongst others.it was about seven years ago, when I had my first UFO sighting, experience' and I will outlay the details of this sighting within this short article, just to let you know a little bit more about where I am coming from, regarding the UFO Phenomena.My sighting occurred in Dagenham, Essex' a place called Parslows Park, not far from where my wife's old house,( I used to visit her at this house , before moving to our present place ).I walked to the corner of Parslows Park, where I caught something in my vision, which was hanging above a group of trees.The date was 23 / 11 / 97 at 8.35pm in the evening.It caught my attention, because of the shape of the object' it was cigar shaped object, and I thought to myself, this is odd? What can this be, and why is no one else taking any interest in this? This cigar shaped object, had flashing lights at both ends of the object, and with its gray exterior color, I could clearly see what can only be described as a set of windows? Having watched this object for a few seconds,so I decided to walk up to it, I crossed the busy road, hoping to catch a better view of it, but with a total surprise' it just shot bolt upright into the air, and completely vanished? This stunned me so much, that it was a point for me to research the whole area of UFOs, and to this day I am still trying to learn more, and dig even deeper!If you would like to share info with me on the UFO subject, or share your experience' then please contact me and you will be sure of a reply! Thanks for taking the time to read my short article.Regards,Michael. It was on the july 20th 2004 that I had an experience that involved me seeing what I now know was a light being. I had gone to bed on this evening, my wife was sleeping on my right, I then fell asleep, when I was suddenly awoken by a very strong presence in the room. I looked up and to my left, there appeared a being that was glowing a gold and yellow colour. I tried to wake up my wife, but I could not wake her up, so I shook her, but still she did not stir.By this time I was feeling quite scared, and my adrenaline was rushing. The light being then started to walk towards me, or you could say drift, noy quite knowing how, but it did. As it came towards me I remembered what the australian contactee researcher, Mary rodwell had said to me, this was to be at peace with your fears. I remembered also told me to try and to talk to them, I did this as it came closer , but then I must have blacked out , as I did not know anymore until the next morning. I was not aware of any time loss with this encounter, but there could have been some at the moment of encounter.I would like other experiencers to contact mewith thier encounter stories, I have a link on Mary Rodwell's Website. I look foward to your contact. Thanks, Michael.
