The rain hammered down on to 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: the windscreen of Allan's patrol car as the wipers struggled 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: to keep up. With one eye on the road ahead, 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: he brushed away the condensation building up on the inside 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: of the screen as one after another the street lights 17 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: passed by in soft orange bursts of refracted light. He 18 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: had not been on duty long when the call came 19 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: in from a resident of a local estate just off 20 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: Burnley Road in the northwest of Todmidon, complaining about a 21 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: small herd of cows running a muck in the area. 22 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Allan was just passing the railway station and Tomlin's coal yard, 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: beyond where Zigmund Damski's body had been found five months 24 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: ago when a second call came in. Another resident had 25 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: seen the cows too moving about the estate. So it 26 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: was with some surprise when Alan arrived there around eleven 27 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: p m to find the streets completely deserted. Confused, he 28 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: made a few rounds of the interweaving colder sacks, but 29 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: saw little save for the odd dog walker and the 30 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: occasional flicker of movement in the light behind loosely drawn curtains. 31 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: After completing another circuit, it slowly dawned on him that 32 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: he was most likely responding to some prank calls. Doing 33 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: his best to see the funny side of it, Alan 34 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: headed back to the station. He had not been there 35 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: long when yet another call came in from the estate, 36 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: again complaining about the cows, Only this time it was 37 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: from an elderly resident who'd clearly been perturbed by what 38 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: she'd seen. With nothing for it, Alan headed back out 39 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: to the estate. It had just gone midnight when he 40 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: pulled into the estate again to find the streets just 41 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: as empty as before. Shaking his head, he pulled up 42 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: outside the caller's house and stepped out into the freezing 43 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: night air. The elderly woman smiled as she opened the 44 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: door and bade him into the house. Over a cup 45 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: of tea, she explained that she'd been sleeping in her 46 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: bedroom upstairs when she first heard the strange noises coming 47 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: from outside. Peering out of her curtains, she was amazed 48 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: to see five or six cows wandering aimlessly about the street. 49 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: After shuffling downstairs, she made the call to the police 50 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: station and opened the curtains to describe what she could see. 51 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: And that's when it happened, she said. When what happened, 52 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: asked Alan, The woman hesitated for a moment, seeming a 53 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: little unsure about what she was going to say. When 54 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: I saw the light, she replied, I'm sorry, said Alan, 55 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: as she went on to explain she was just looking 56 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: out at the cows when a fierce, blinding light burst 57 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: out from nowhere and swept across the house. The next moment, 58 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: everything had gone dark again, and the cows had completely vanished. 59 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: Alan thought for a moment, perhaps it was just a car, 60 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: he suggested, coming up over the rise towards the woman's 61 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: home and had simply scared off the cows. Perhaps it 62 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: had even been his car on one of his earlier 63 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: trolls around the estate, which would explain why the cows 64 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: were always gone by the time he got there, but 65 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: the woman wasn't sure. With little else to add, Alan 66 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: thanked her for the tea and agreed to make one 67 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: final sweep of the estate before heading back to the station, 68 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: but yet again there was no sign of the cows. 69 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: The rain had stopped by the time, and headed out 70 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: for his final patrol round the town. After leaving the 71 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: station with a colleague about five am, he jumped into 72 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: his car and headed straight for the town center. Traveling 73 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: south down Burnie Road, he passed the staff bus for 74 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: the local bus cruise heading the other way, giving the 75 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: driver a wave as he went. After arriving in town 76 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: a few minutes later, he asked a colleague who was 77 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: out on foot patrol if they fancied joining him for 78 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: one last look around, but they declined, leaving Alan to 79 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: head back out on his own, Still determined to locate 80 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: the errant cows. He decided to make his way back 81 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: up Burnie Road to see if he could find them. 82 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: The bare skeleton lines of crooked black trees loomed over 83 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: the empty streets as Alan made its way back toward 84 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: the estate, the patrol car's headlights shimmering off the slick 85 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: wet surface as it went. At five fifteen am, he 86 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 1: approached the south end of Center Vale Park, a local 87 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: beauty spot and popular sports hub, backed by a thin 88 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: stretch of woodland opposite the turn off for the estate. 89 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: Alan flicked his right indicator light on and prepared to 90 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: make the turn. Meanwhile, not two hundred meters away to 91 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: the north, at roughly the same time, Leonard Smith, the 92 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: caretaker at Fernie Lee Junior School, was making his way 93 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: across the playground when he caught sight of something moving 94 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: through the sky. It was hard to be sure in 95 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: the dark, but it seemed to have risen straight up 96 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: from Burnie Road. Leonard watched as it zigzagged for a 97 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: moment through the sky before eventually shooting off at incredible speed. 98 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: About forty five minutes later, around six am, PC Malcolm 99 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: Agley was just preparing to head home when he was 100 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: startled by a car pulling up suddenly outside the police station. 101 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: He watched with alarm as a pale and shocked looking 102 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Alan wound down the window and told him to get 103 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: in immediately. Malcolm was a little hesitant at first, seeing 104 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: as he was about to finish his shift, but he 105 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: couldn't resist the urgency in Alan's voice. Malcolm jumped in 106 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: and demanded to know what was going on. Allan's story 107 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: didn't disappoint Alan spoke as they headed northwest up Burnie Road, 108 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: his words tumbling out breathlessly one after the other. He 109 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: explained about his plan to go and look for the cows, 110 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: and was just about to turn off the road to 111 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: head back to the estate when he was suddenly distracted 112 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: by a large object that looked as though it had 113 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: jack knife across the road a hundred yards ahead of him. 114 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: Having assumed it was the staff bus he'd seen earlier, 115 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: he quickly realized it couldn't have been, as he'd passed 116 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: them by on a spot further up earlier in the night. 117 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: But more than that, this thing was about twice the size. 118 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: After driving straight past the turn off, Allan had drawn 119 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: closer to inspect the bizarre object or the while trying 120 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: to comprehend exactly what it was he was looking at. 121 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: As he got to within thirty feet of it, he 122 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: realized with utter amusement that it was improbably hovering about 123 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: five feet in the air above the road. At about 124 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: twenty feet away. He stopped the car, unable to do 125 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: little more than stare in complete disbelief. It was matted 126 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: black in color, like dull gun metal, and shaped like 127 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: a huge diamond, with a single light shining out at 128 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: the top of it. Across the upper section, he could 129 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: just about discern a series of panels a little lighter 130 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: in shade than the main body, which he took to 131 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: be blacked out windows. He thought for a moment if 132 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: it was a hot air balloon, then soon realized it 133 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: was clearly something far more solid. Movement on the road 134 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: drew his eyes to a strange swirl of dead leaves 135 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: and twigs that were dancing and circling about the object. 136 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: The branches of the trees either side of it were 137 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: swaying too. It was then that Alan realized the thing 138 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: was spinning, drawing the autumnal detritus in with its movement. 139 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: Without thinking Alan instinctively switched on the police lights, immediately 140 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: bathing the craft in an eerie blue shade. Then grabbed 141 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: for the radio clipped to his chest. Alan pressed the 142 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: button to talk, but the radio did not respond, throwing 143 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: it down in frustration. He then tried to car's VHF radio, 144 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: but it too was completely dead. Alan cursed his luck 145 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: and looked about, not quite sure what to do next. 146 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Catching sight of his clipboard, he pulled it from the 147 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: inside at the door and quickly began to sketch the 148 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: object then out of nowhere. He suddenly found himself staring 149 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: straight ahead with his hands gripping the steering wheel as 150 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: the car trickled slowly down the road in first gear. 151 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: As Allan continued to explain to Malcolm. He then quickly 152 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: slammed on the brakes and looked about for any sign 153 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: of the object, but there was nothing but the empty 154 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: road ahead and behind him. Completely bewildered as to what 155 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: had just happened, Alan made a quick one eighty and 156 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: headed back down the road, parking up just where he 157 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: thought he'd seen the strange craft. He stepped out onto 158 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: the road and felt a strange static charge in the 159 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: air as he made its way to the precise spot. 160 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: He looked down in amazement at the tarmac. We're all 161 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: about was still wet from the night's rain. Here the 162 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: road was completely dry. Malcolm didn't know what to say 163 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: as he scanned Alan's face for any signs of a joke, 164 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: but saw none. Then Alan pointed up ahead and pulled 165 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: the car over to the side of the road. There, 166 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 1: he said, that's where I saw it. Alan and Malcolm 167 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: each grabbed a torch and stepped out of the car. 168 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: All about was silent, save for the distant chirp of 169 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: robins and the sound of the wind rattling the trees. 170 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: As they made their way to the spot, Alan shone 171 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: his torch into the road, spotlighting a large patch of 172 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: it that was strangely dry, while surrounding it, as Malcolm noticed, 173 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: was a peculiar circular pattern of leaves. Malcolm bent down 174 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: and put his head and to the tarmac, his breath 175 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: clearly visible in the chill morning air. He stared up 176 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: at Allan with a look of battlement on his face. 177 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: It's warm, he said. Alan leant down to touch it 178 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: too well. R B, he said. Then Alan turned his 179 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: attention to the entrance of Center Vale Park just a 180 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: little further up the road, and wandered aloud if perhaps 181 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: any early morning dog walkers were about that might have 182 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: seen the strange object to the pair of them decided 183 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: to take a look and quickly made their way across 184 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: the small bridge, overrunning a gully between the park and 185 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: the road, and then on toward the main gate. Finding 186 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: it locked, they climbed over and carried on into the park, 187 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: flashing their torchlights as they went. After a few more steps, 188 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: Alan noticed a number of large, dark shapes moving about 189 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: on a distant playing field. Holding up his torch, he 190 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: revealed right in front of them roughly half a dozen cows, 191 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: the very ones Alan had been searching for or night. 192 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: It took me a long time to realize that it 193 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: isn't the bed or even the mattress necessarily that makes 194 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: for the perfect sleeping experience. It's the sheets. I might 195 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: not be sure of much in life, but this I 196 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: can guarantee you that feeling when you get home from 197 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: a stay at your parents house or a night at 198 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: a fancy hotel. If you're so lucky and your bed 199 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: just doesn't feel the same, I'm telling you now it's 200 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: the sheets.

Promo code unexplained. 215 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: After getting back to the station, a quietly stunned Allen 216 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: managed to track down the owner of the cows, a 217 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: farmer from the opposite side of the valley. The man 218 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: was at a complete loss to explain how they'd escaped. 219 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: As for how they'd ended up in the park. Everyone 220 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: was stumped. If they had been roaming about the estate 221 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: that Allen visited earlier, unless they took an inordinately long 222 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: way round, they would have had to have crossed the 223 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: gully and got over the locked gate to get in. 224 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Later that morning, relieved to be home, Alan removed his 225 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: shoes at the door, then noticed the soul of his 226 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: left shoe, of a relatively new pair of sturdy Doc Martins, 227 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: was completely split from one side to the other. It 228 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: was then he felt the itch on the inside of 229 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: his left foot. He pulled down his sock and saw 230 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: it was red and irritated. Thinking little of it, however, 231 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: he applied some cream to soothe it, then went to bed, 232 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: yearning for sleep. By the following night, the story of 233 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: Alan's apparent experience was all they could talk about at 234 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: the station. With the jokes coming thick and fast. Alan 235 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: did his best to laugh them off while continuing to 236 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: wrestle with what an earth he'd seen, when suddenly he 237 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: was given a message to report to the station. In 238 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: expecting addressing down for concocting such a ludicrous story, he 239 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: was surprised to find the inspector intrigued to know more 240 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: about what he'd seen. After Alan related his story once again, 241 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: the inspector thought for a moment, then consulted a notebook 242 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: on his desk. It was then that the inspector told 243 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: Alan about what the three officers had seen the week 244 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: before while outlooking for stolen motorbikes. Though the inspector wasn't 245 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: quite sure what to make of it all, it had 246 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: evidently given him pause for thought. After thanking Alan for 247 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: his time, he suggested he complete an incident report and 248 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: submit it to the chief superintendent based in Halifax, and 249 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: they would take it from there. As Alan would later claim, 250 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: despite murmurings of UFOs and extraterrestrials, he refused to jump 251 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: to any such conclusions. Later that night, Alan had back 252 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: to the estate to figure out how the cows could 253 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: possibly have ended up in the park over the road. 254 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: As he drove up into the estate, he caught sight 255 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: of the elderly woman's house he visited the night before, 256 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: realizing with the jolt that it wasn't even remotely in 257 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: line with his headlights. Whatever the light was that she saw, 258 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't the headlights of a car. As Alan's story 259 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: spread through the town. It wasn't long before he was 260 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: contacted by the local paper with a request to interview 261 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: him about his apparent sighting of what was now being 262 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: described as a UFO. After asking for permission to recount 263 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: his story, it was eventually published on Friday fifth of 264 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: December in the hebden Bridge Times under the headline may 265 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: the Force be with you with all the inevitable mickey 266 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: taking that came with it. A few months later, Allen 267 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: was informed that he'd be leaving his post in Tobmidon 268 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: to be placed instead in the nearby village of Wolston. 269 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: It was hard not to feel that this was in 270 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: some way due to the embarrassment caused to the Force 271 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: by the article, despite Allen's claims that he'd been granted 272 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: permission to give the interview. All the while, that itchy 273 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: mark on the inside of his left foot continued to 274 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: irritate him. After eventually consulting a doctor about it, it 275 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: was diagnosed as a mild form of psoriasis. It was 276 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: around this time that Allen was contacted by Detective Chief 277 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Inspector Norman Collinson from the Fraud Squad of the Greater 278 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: Manchester Police as it happened. Collinson was also a member 279 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: of the Manchester UFO Research Association. Collinson and some of 280 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: his colleagues at the UFO group were keen to interview 281 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: Allen about his unusual experience, having been particularly enthused by 282 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: his position as a well respected local police officer, Feeling 283 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: he had nothing to lose and keen to find some 284 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: answers himself, Alan agreed to it, As Collinson later explained, 285 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: he too had once seen a UFO, as had Harry Harris, 286 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: a local solicitor, who accompanied Collinson to Allan's house to 287 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: conduct the interview the following week. A few weeks later, 288 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: Norman got back in touch with some intriguing news. After 289 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: going over the interview again, he'd noticed some time discrepancies 290 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: in Alan's recounting of the event. After taking it on 291 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: himself to travel the exact same route that Allan took 292 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: back on that bizarre night, he came to the startling 293 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: conclusion that thirty minutes were missing between Alan seeing the 294 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: object and meeting Malcolm outside the police station. He wasn't 295 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: sure what it meant exactly, but there was something he 296 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: thought they could try if Allan was willing to see. 297 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: If it might help him remember more about what actually 298 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: happened that night. On Sunday, August second, nineteen eighty one, 299 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: Allan found himself making his way to Manchester to the 300 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: home of psychologist and hypnotherapist Professor Robert Blair. Norman and Harry, 301 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: along with another colleague from their UFO group, were there 302 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: to greet him, looking forward to sitting in on the session. However, 303 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: Professor Blair, who had not been informed why exactly Allan 304 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: was coming, was adamant that Ony Allen be in the room. Disappointed, 305 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: the men agreed to wait outside as Blair led Allan 306 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: into his office and invited him to take a seat 307 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: on the consultation bench. Allan sat down, then leant back 308 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: on the bench, only for Professor Blair to tell him 309 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be necessary. Alan smiled a little embarrassed, then 310 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: sat back up, placing his hands on his lap. Then 311 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: Professor Blair told him to close his eyes. The professor 312 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: spoke in soft, simple words while Allan sat and listened, 313 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: not quite sure what he was supposed to do. As 314 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: all the while, Blair's voice got quieter and quieter, as 315 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: if retreating to some distant place. When Allan suddenly felt 316 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: a dull pain in his head. He opened his eyes 317 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: and apologized to Blair for wasting his time. The professor smiled. 318 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Alan had been under hypnosis for an hour. After the session, 319 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: Alan watched as Norman and Harry listened eagerly to whatever 320 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: Professor Blair was telling them. As it trans by it, 321 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: Blair had been forced to cut the session short after 322 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: Allan became suddenly distressed, and though he wouldn't divolve exactly 323 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: what Alan had said, he was left with the overriding 324 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: sense that, as Alan would later put it, something very 325 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: weird had happened to him. A second appointment was arranged 326 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: with a separate hypnotherapist, this time a doctor Joseph Jaffee, 327 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: to see if Alan's story would be consistent. On this occasion, 328 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: Norman and Harry were allowed to film the session. With 329 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: more sessions booked, Allan was kept in the dark about 330 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: what exactly he'd said in the hope of keeping any 331 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: outside influence to a minimum. Not long after the second session, however, 332 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: it appeared that something had clearly been unlocked deep within 333 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: his mind. It began with headaches on the drive home, 334 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: followed by a sudden bout of nausea. After being so 335 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with tiredness, Alan was to pull into a service 336 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: station and sleep it off before finally making it back 337 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: to his house. Things only got worse as a wave 338 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: of nausea washed over him the moment he got through 339 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: the door. After just about making it to the bathroom 340 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: to vomit, he was finally able to clamber into bed, 341 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: and that was when the nightmares came. It started with 342 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: an undulating, ominous drone rising and falling in pitch, followed 343 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: by the emergence of a distorted ghostly image a strange, 344 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: wiry figure no more than three feet tall with a large, 345 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: bulbous head and enormous black, elliptical eyes. It leered over Allan, 346 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: drawing its face closer and closer to his, coming more 347 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: and more into focus, until Allan woke up with a start. 348 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: After a few more recorded sessions, each followed by bouts 349 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: of nausea and nightmares, Allan was finally invited to watch 350 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: them back. It was some time in late September that 351 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: he was invited over to Harry Harris's home, where he 352 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: was joined by Norman and a number of other Manchester 353 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: Euphora affiliates. After exchanging a few pleasant trees and some 354 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: cups of tea. The group moved into the living room 355 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: and took their places in front of the TV as 356 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: Harry set about lining up the tape. After warning Allan 357 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: to steal himself for what he was about to see, 358 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Harry switched off the lights, then turned to the video 359 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: player and pressed play. A large close up of Alan's 360 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: face flickered on to the screen, his brow furrowed and 361 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: his eyelids lightly shut. In the background, the quiet rhythmic 362 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: beap of a heart monitor could be heard. Allan watched, 363 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: a little self conscious to see himself in such a 364 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: way as on screen, he began recounting the story of 365 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: that peculiar night. All of it he had knowingly said 366 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: himself a million times before, right up until the moment 367 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: the story changed. Although Allan had no memory of stepping 368 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: out of his car, according to the story he was 369 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: now telling on screen, that is exactly what he did. 370 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: Allan looked on speechless as his hypnotized self elaborated further. 371 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: After stepping out of the car, he was apparently approaching 372 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: the craft when a blinding light flashed out at him. 373 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: Allan watched aghast as on screen, he threw up his 374 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: arms as if he were right back in the moment, 375 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: shielding his eyes from the light. Then the beap of 376 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: the heart monitor began to speed up. Doctor Jaffy asked 377 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: if they should stop, but Allan, with the eyelids still closed, continued. Next, 378 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: there was a tremendous whoosh, he said, after which he 379 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: found himself floating inside the object. They're horrible, he continued, small, 380 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: three to four feet, like five year old lads. There 381 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: are eight of them. He's touching me. He's feeling at 382 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: my clothes. They have hands and heads like a lamp. 383 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: They keep touching me. Joseph, I know him as Joseph. 384 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: He has told me not to be frightened. They are robots. 385 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: They're not human. They're robots. They are Joseph's robots. It 386 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: seemed they were experimenting on him, he said, or running 387 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: some kind of test. Then one of the entities placed 388 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: a bracelet on his right wrist and left foot, as 389 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: Alan later noted where that strange mark had apparently appeared 390 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: on his foot on screen. Alan cried out in pain, 391 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: evidently stressed by the memory of it all, and doctor 392 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: Jaffee brought the session to a close. Then Harry stopped 393 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: the tape and flicked on the lights to reveal a 394 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: pale faced Alan, still staring at the screen. As Harry explained, 395 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: it was the same in all the sessions, the story 396 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: not deviating wants in any way. It has been many 397 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: years since those strange events that occurred in Tobmerdon and 398 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: the surrounding valleys back in nineteen eighty, yet despite the 399 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: passing of time, Alan's story has never wavered. In twenty seventeen, 400 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: Alan published a full account of the events in his 401 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: book Who or What Were They, which is available to 402 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: buy online. As he writes, having resisted the UFO anger 403 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: at first, he eventually began delving into abduction stories such 404 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: as those of and Barney Hill to see if he 405 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: might find any parallels with his own experience. Having never 406 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: himself claimed he was abducted, to day, he mostly wonders 407 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: if it had all just been a figment of his imagination. 408 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: In subsequent years, while some have claimed that Sigmund Adamski 409 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: may well have been the victim of an alien abduction, 410 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: a little more light was shed on his mysterious death 411 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: after an anonymous caller spoke to a staff member of 412 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: a UFO magazine, claiming that someone linked to A Damski's 413 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: family had abducted him and kept him prisoner in a 414 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: garden shed. When Sigmund tried to escape, as the man claimed, 415 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: he was burned by battery acid, which explained the unusual 416 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: marks on his head. As for how he died exactly, 417 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: the caller couldn't say the man who hurt him. The 418 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: caller alleged might have had something to do with the 419 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: Damski's goddaughter, who was due to be married the day 420 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: after he disappeared. Others have said that the estranged husband 421 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: of a woman who was staying with the Adamskis at 422 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: the time main fact have had something to do with it, 423 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: possibly being the same man the mystery caller was alluding to. 424 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: It was also claimed that Adamski was undergoing a series 425 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: of moxy bustion treatments at the time, which involved igniting 426 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: cotton wool balls soaked in alcohol and then cupping the 427 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: skin over them, which if true, may also have accounted 428 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: for the peculiar marks. In twenty o three, James Turnbull, 429 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: the coroner who conducted the inquest into Adamski's death, revealed 430 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: to the BBC that it was the biggest mystery in 431 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: all his career, stating that the question of where he 432 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: was before he died and what led to his death 433 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: just could not be answered, believing also as he said 434 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: that the failure of the forensic scientists to identify the 435 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: corrosive substance which caused mister Adamski's burns could lend some 436 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: wait to the UFO theory. In twenty eight, retired police 437 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: officer John Hanson and UFO researcher David Sankey made a 438 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: request for the original coroner's file from Adamski's inquest, but 439 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: were refused access to it on account of not being 440 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: interested parties, whatever that means. As such, Sigmund Yan Adamski's 441 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: death is a mystery that remains to this day unexplained. 442 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: If you enjoy Unexplained and would like to help supporters, 443 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: you can now do so via Patreon.
