Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George nor with
Speaker 2: Colin Saunders. His book is called Triangular UFOs of the
Speaker 2: United Kingdom. His website is linked up at Coast to
Speaker 2: COASTAM dot com. Colin, let's jump back into the story
Speaker 2: here of this sighting. How did that be? How did
Speaker 2: the object finally disappear?
Speaker 3: Like I said, when we will be well, where we're
Speaker 3: part next to the object? The craft ecotes in front
Speaker 3: of us, But then as my wife pulled forward, it
Speaker 3: blocked to view, so we didn't actually see the craft
Speaker 3: disappear by the times you reverse back into the gateway.
Speaker 3: Was it shows that particular moment to disappear when we
Speaker 3: we couldn't see actually leave.
Speaker 2: Was there any kind of abduction case or anything that
Speaker 2: happened to you all of you?
Speaker 3: There was something strange happened to me, which we'll get
Speaker 3: back into in a short while. Just before the break,
Speaker 3: we were talking about the lights that my wife had drawn.
Speaker 3: She drew three red lights in a perfect equal actual triangle. Now,
Speaker 3: there's no way we could have seen that from the
Speaker 3: side of the road and from approaching the lights and
Speaker 3: the small triangle. I have a theory that what she
Speaker 3: saw was the underneath of the large triangle. Do you
Speaker 3: remember I said, once we got out of the car,
Speaker 3: there was this huge craft going away with four big
Speaker 3: red lights on the back, and I thought it was
Speaker 3: the smaller craft had grown into a bigger craft. But
Speaker 3: now go on reflection, after all these years, I believe
Speaker 3: that was the mother ship that the smaller one went
Speaker 3: back to. And looking at the trajectory of the large craft,
Speaker 3: there's a good chance to passed over our car whilst
Speaker 3: we were looking at the small one. So it's almost
Speaker 3: like an ambush. The little one was there, it was
Speaker 3: tilted up, the shows.
Speaker 4: All of the lights. It was right next to the road.
Speaker 3: We stopped the car in front of it, and I
Speaker 3: think there's a possibility at that point the large triangle
Speaker 3: came over the car, which is why my life my
Speaker 3: wife drew three red life in the perfect triangle.
Speaker 2: So the smaller one, the smaller one was about the
Speaker 2: size of a bus.
Speaker 3: Right, that's right, yes, and I'm guessing the larger one
Speaker 3: was the size.
Speaker 4: Of a football pitch.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's good size.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was the biggest flying craft i've ever seen,
Speaker 3: and I've been to quite a few air shows over
Speaker 3: the years, both in Germany.
Speaker 4: And the UK.
Speaker 3: It was a massive craft, just silently floating away. It
Speaker 3: was quite quite incredible. So what I decided to do
Speaker 3: then was to make a model of the craft. Initially,
Speaker 3: I dream it on cold draw, did some move drawings.
Speaker 3: When I printed those out, made some paper versions, and
Speaker 3: then I decided to make a.
Speaker 4: More solid model.
Speaker 3: I've got some wooden down in and created a shape,
Speaker 3: a triangle of shape, and I put the images that
Speaker 3: I printed on top of this model. It was a
Speaker 3: bit puttin you could pote your fingers through it, but
Speaker 3: it was a proper three D model. It was quite exciting.
Speaker 2: You were almost obsessed with building this model, weren't you?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I mean it came at the perfect time because I
Speaker 3: got three members of staff working at home, but I
Speaker 3: let them run the business whilst I was in the
Speaker 3: shed outside making this craft. More, making several crafts, first
Speaker 3: drawing it, then the first paper craft, and then the
Speaker 3: first wooden craft, the wooden based craft.
Speaker 4: Now that craft.
Speaker 3: The last time I seen it was inside my band
Speaker 3: that I bought. I bought a small vand for moving
Speaker 3: garments around. That was part of the driveway in my house,
Speaker 3: and it was broken into one night, and then the
Speaker 3: stereo was taken out. It was an old cassette player.
Speaker 3: It wasn't worth anything. And when I took vehicle to
Speaker 3: be repaired from the friendly son of the article, he
Speaker 3: said it would be professionally broken into. He said they
Speaker 3: made a great job of it. He couldn't understand why
Speaker 3: something with those skills would break into a van and
Speaker 3: to steer a cassette player.
Speaker 4: Now, when I came to.
Speaker 3: Look for my model, it was colm.
Speaker 4: It wasn't in the van.
Speaker 3: Whoever took the step player also took the model. I
Speaker 3: never did find that model again. So whether they were
Speaker 3: looking for that in particular, or whether they just saw
Speaker 3: it and took it, it would mean nothing to anybody.
Speaker 3: So whether I'm just being paranoid, but somebody would say
Speaker 3: once that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not
Speaker 3: after you.
Speaker 4: So that model disappeared, But.
Speaker 3: Then I decided to build another one. This time I
Speaker 3: went to town.
Speaker 4: A bit more.
Speaker 3: I put some prilot on top of the down in frame,
Speaker 3: and I also brought some flashing lights and the battery
Speaker 3: pack in the switch while it all off. And now
Speaker 3: I've got a model that had got the actual lights
Speaker 3: in it as well.
Speaker 2: And you were doing all this colin from memory, yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, all from memory, yeah, and all done in straight
Speaker 3: away before the memory, David, of what big seem That night,
Speaker 3: I got in touch with a UFO magazine over here
Speaker 3: and they've put me in touch with a gentleman called
Speaker 3: Omar Fouler. Omar sent me some documents, and in the
Speaker 3: documents there was a picture of a triangle in Belgium
Speaker 3: in the nineteen eighties I think it was, and the
Speaker 3: underneath of the triangle, the young guy has seen it.
Speaker 3: I've got these lines in relief in to locking on
Speaker 3: the surface, exactly the same as we got on the.
Speaker 4: Surface of our craft.
Speaker 3: Now we only saw the rear end and the top,
Speaker 3: but it seemed to me that the Belgium Tartean were
Speaker 3: the same beams underneath must have been the same craft
Speaker 3: or same series of craft. So I used the Belgium
Speaker 3: seam to create the bottom of arcraft. So when you
Speaker 3: look at my finished model, I've gone and the finding
Speaker 3: model is a three D printed model. We never saw
Speaker 3: the underneath, So the underneath is just purely baked on
Speaker 3: the Belgium tighting. So there may not have been beams
Speaker 3: underneath our craft. It may have been a flat surface.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it did seem logical to me
Speaker 3: to use the Balgium sighting to make the complete craft basically,
Speaker 3: so I built this second model. I'm mean to get
Speaker 3: onto television with that and into a few magazines and
Speaker 3: talk to people. And I remember in the early days
Speaker 3: when they used to take it out on a briefcase.
Speaker 3: It used to make me shake with excitement.
Speaker 4: When the scene. It taken me back to that, to
Speaker 4: that night.
Speaker 3: So then we did a few presentations of a few
Speaker 3: UFO conferences.
Speaker 2: Were you becoming pretty well known by that time.
Speaker 4: Only within UFO circles?
Speaker 3: Yes, I think with the advent of Facebook and social media,
Speaker 3: that's when things started to take off.
Speaker 4: A bit more.
Speaker 2: You met the late Bud Hopkins, who was an expert
Speaker 2: in alien abductions, didn't you?
Speaker 3: I did, yees, yeah, I met quite a few people.
Speaker 3: Actually he was Back in the early two thousands. We
Speaker 3: used to have a UFO magazine was rutten by a
Speaker 3: guy called Graham Bertel.
Speaker 4: And Russell Callahan.
Speaker 3: The two of them used to produce a fantastic magazine,
Speaker 3: but more than positively some fantastic UFO conferences in Leeds.
Speaker 3: Now is there that I met and chatted with Santon Freeman,
Speaker 3: Dr wager Lea, Stephen Greer, and more importantly Bud Hopkins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great people.
Speaker 4: Before I go.
Speaker 3: Into the conversation I have with Pud Hopkins, we need
Speaker 3: to go back to the night of the sighting and
Speaker 3: talk about the highest strangeness, the strange things that occurred
Speaker 3: to myself but not to the other people.
Speaker 4: Now, what I've talked about so far is what I.
Speaker 3: Called was not some bolts of the sieing. The strange
Speaker 3: part of the sieting I didn't really talk about for
Speaker 3: twenty years because it just sounded crazy. And I'm an engineer,
Speaker 3: and I found it all very weird what took plate.
Speaker 3: And I can imagine that other people would think that
Speaker 3: I was losing the plot, I was making it up,
Speaker 3: because it's just so strange what I'm about to say.
Speaker 3: But I've realized now, especially over the last four years,
Speaker 3: that Howard normal activity and you phones going hand in hand,
Speaker 3: and I'll explain the reason why. So if we go
Speaker 3: back to that night, the thirty first of March nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety nine at nine to fifty PM, as a craft
Speaker 3: tilted up in front of us, like I say, like
Speaker 3: a submarine and the water. The three thoughts came into
Speaker 3: my mind.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 3: That's where I ca described it. It was like somebody
Speaker 3: got a pair of binoculars and put them in front
Speaker 3: of my eyes, because all of a sudden I could
Speaker 3: see the surface closed up, and I could see these
Speaker 3: lines interlocking that would turn in through ninety degrees, these
Speaker 3: girds on.
Speaker 4: Top of the liquid surface. That was the first view.
Speaker 3: Then there was a second view that was the big
Speaker 3: wear and nose at the top, and I was so
Speaker 3: close to it I couldn't see the beings on the
Speaker 3: surface anymore. All I could see was this big wear
Speaker 3: and nose.
Speaker 4: I think it was beautiful.
Speaker 3: The way they didn't manufacture was absolutely incredible. It was
Speaker 3: in all of the engineering. And then there was a
Speaker 3: third view, and that was the side view of the
Speaker 3: craft up near the nose. Now it showed the center
Speaker 3: of the triangle promocybean, which was like a white pour
Speaker 3: milky white core, and the top of the bottom of
Speaker 3: the triangle fitted onto this central white core, and they
Speaker 3: when they pitched the top of the bottom. It was
Speaker 3: rounded over like a hovercraft skin onto this wide central
Speaker 3: collers running around the craft. Now where it was joined
Speaker 3: top and bottom, there was no welding. There were no scenes,
Speaker 3: no nuts and bolts, no rivets. The way it did
Speaker 3: been manufactured was absolutely incredible. The next thing I remember
Speaker 3: is being in a cartage stops. I want to get out,
Speaker 3: I want to get out. I wanted to get next
Speaker 3: to the craft. I think me and my mother wanted
Speaker 3: to get on board. And that's when my wife pulled
Speaker 3: forward and the craft disappeared.
Speaker 2: Now, when you say it disappeared, Colin, like blinked out
Speaker 2: or sped off, we.
Speaker 3: Don't know because the hedge was in the way, so
Speaker 3: we didn't see. We didn't see whether it decloaked or
Speaker 3: cloaked itself again, or whether it shot off, or whether
Speaker 3: it went back from the ship.
Speaker 2: But it was gone. It was gone quickly, though, wasn't
Speaker 2: it very quick?
Speaker 3: In that base short space of time that it took
Speaker 3: us to pume forward and then repers into a gate way.
Speaker 3: That short space of time, it just totally disappeared. And
Speaker 3: like I say, it was so quiet. Hear a pin drop.
Speaker 2: In your opinion, at this point. Do you think they
Speaker 2: wanted you to see it the craft?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people want to see these crafts,
Speaker 3: and we get people seeing them at distance, you know,
Speaker 3: miles away, and we see lights in the sky very rare.
Speaker 3: Did people get to see such a close encounter like
Speaker 3: we've had.
Speaker 4: I realized over the years it's.
Speaker 3: One of the closest in the UK it's ever been recorded,
Speaker 3: certainly probably the most detailed. But I seem to be
Speaker 3: in the right position to do that. So not only
Speaker 3: did they wait for it was like a bit like
Speaker 3: an ambush and show us the craft close up, they also,
Speaker 3: I believe, put these images into my mind. Now I
Speaker 3: was going to say the next day, I had the
Speaker 3: conversation with my family and I was saying, I don't
Speaker 3: allow the body experience. I was pretty convinced that's took place,
Speaker 3: because I've got this close viewing of the first to
Speaker 3: see three images. But I couldn't understand why if that
Speaker 3: was the case, why they come in the front of
Speaker 3: the nose. I was looking at the big round nose.
Speaker 4: To the side ard of the nose.
Speaker 3: Why I didn't see it, Why it was like three
Speaker 3: pictures rather than a continuous role.
Speaker 4: In film as such.
Speaker 3: So for a few years I was thinking it was
Speaker 3: out the body experience. Then going back to the conferences
Speaker 3: where I met Bud Hopkins, the conversation I had with
Speaker 3: books sold good about.
Speaker 4: One of the curve.
Speaker 3: I showed him the model and I told him I'd
Speaker 3: had this about of body experience. That book said to me, now,
Speaker 3: it wasn't an out of body experience. What you had
Speaker 3: there was three images placed in your mind by the
Speaker 3: agents on board the craft. Before he got a chance
Speaker 3: to explore that anymore, this other person put it in
Speaker 3: this this woman, Irish woman with a crystal she found
Speaker 3: in the forest, and he's saying, Bob, Bob, I found
Speaker 3: this nearby the LEFTO siding and not being started chatting
Speaker 3: with her.
Speaker 4: And that was ever my.
Speaker 3: Sixty seconds with Bob, basically, So I went off thinking, well,
Speaker 3: that's an ududial thing, isn't it Aviens putting images in
Speaker 3: your mind. I couldn't really take that on board, and
Speaker 3: I was still clinging to the had to body experience,
Speaker 3: which I found quite comforting because I was starting to
Speaker 3: think you could live without a body, that his soul
Speaker 3: does carry on. And I was quite clinging to op I.
Speaker 4: Was quite quite quite nice.
Speaker 3: But then what happened was once a friend of mine
Speaker 3: he started building some models for me. I got a
Speaker 3: three D printer, so I did a presentation in one
Speaker 3: of these three D models and I.
Speaker 4: Talked to the group.
Speaker 3: This was in Birmingham in the UK, and I talked
Speaker 3: about the close viewing and saying that I thought it
Speaker 3: was now the body experience. Now, the guy there talked
Speaker 3: about a case where the UFO was ranting in the
Speaker 3: field and two guys were watching it from quite some
Speaker 3: distance and they saw these aviens coming out of the
Speaker 3: craft and all of a sudden, one of the aliens
Speaker 3: projected his face across the field. It was right, I
Speaker 3: could count of this other human guy in his face,
Speaker 3: apanding them shouldn't be then without they have to leave. Now,
Speaker 3: I thought, that's that's a similar sort of thing, but
Speaker 3: not exactly the same as why I experience.
Speaker 2: You didn't you didn't see the aliens or whatever they
Speaker 2: may be right.
Speaker 3: Now, I didn't see any agents at alls, unfortunately, just
Speaker 3: the craft and the close.
Speaker 4: Up use of the craft.
Speaker 3: Now, after this the presentation I did as coincidences going
Speaker 3: within two weeks as an email, and I put the
Speaker 3: details in the book. It's the only one I've got
Speaker 3: in there from America. It was become a guy in
Speaker 3: Connecticut who's never reported his tighting to move.
Speaker 4: On or anybody.
Speaker 3: Anybody is known about it, and I've had to use
Speaker 3: the suit and then for his name in the book.
Speaker 4: Now what he said to me?
Speaker 3: Basically, his email started off by saying, just like you,
Speaker 3: I had three images placed in my mind with the
Speaker 3: closed encounters of the triangle. So he goes on to
Speaker 3: explain that he'd seen this triangle, that it came down
Speaker 3: really close to him, and as he was staring at it,
Speaker 3: thinking he needs to remember all the details till later on,
Speaker 3: a bit like myself when we saw our craft. He
Speaker 3: said he had three images taped into his mind and
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 4: Close up views of the craft.
Speaker 3: He thinks two of them were on the outside showing
Speaker 3: them like a ball of lights or plasma. Another one
Speaker 3: was the parts with an around surface. He thinks a
Speaker 3: third of you was inside the craft. So when I
Speaker 3: read that email, it suddenly struck me. It was like
Speaker 3: a hu Eaker moment. It was like, oh my words,
Speaker 3: Bud Hopkins was correct all along. If one images taste
Speaker 3: in my mind. It wasn't an out body experience. I've
Speaker 3: been listening to a lot of work of David Jacobs.
Speaker 3: He'd interview of other people who've been on board crafts.
Speaker 2: And he believes that the visitations are somewhat nefarious.
Speaker 3: Yes he does, Yes, yeah, I might go along with
Speaker 3: that myself.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But what I did goes from listening to all of
Speaker 3: his podcasts and YouTube information, was people we seen images telepathy.
Speaker 3: I've always have seen the telepaphy with words, but you'd
Speaker 3: have a conversation with somebody but without actually speaking, just
Speaker 3: through your mind. But He's has a lot of reports
Speaker 3: where people are showing images rather than words, and then
Speaker 3: it's probably, you know, an image paints a thousand words.
Speaker 3: Picture paint a thousand words, is what they're saying. So
Speaker 3: it would make sense that the aliens on Boardercraft put
Speaker 3: three images into my mind.
Speaker 2: Might they have put an implant in you?
Speaker 4: Who knows? Who knows what took plasts that night?
Speaker 3: Because I have had a lot of experiences since and
Speaker 3: nothing before. So this was the start of a paranormal
Speaker 3: part of my life.
Speaker 2: You've had other encounters and lot.
Speaker 4: Of close as the first one.
Speaker 3: But I've had some very strange things happened point where
Speaker 3: I started to write them down with the dates as well,
Speaker 3: and I'll put all of these into the book. So
Speaker 3: it seems that what Hopkins was correcting, the images were
Speaker 3: placed in my mind and no reason I can think
Speaker 3: that was done was to build the model, I mean
Speaker 3: final model. I've got the three D printed model. It's
Speaker 3: in exact copies. As I'm concerned of this et craft
Speaker 3: that we've seen that night.
