About three months later I received a letter from Shari Adamiak, informing me that events had occurred at all three predicted times and that one of them had been an interactive close encounter with a large SAC. Steven Greer had labelled such encounters, ‘Close Encounters of the 5th Kind ‘ (CE5). Later still I received a copy of a full report of that CE5 event written by Dr. Greer. (During our subsequent videoing of the crop circles scene for a trilogy of videos, produced later, we were fortunate to be able to record a first-hand account, on location, from Dr. Greer with Shari Adamiak in attendance.)
I will try now to summarise the very long, but interesting, story.
According to Dr. Greer’s account, I had given the team three BST predictions: 10:30 pm., 12:30 am. and 1:30 am. After a brief break for dinner, they had driven to the chosen research site at Alton Barnes, Wiltshire. Clouds were gathering when two unidentified lights had risen up above the cloud bank in the East and moved towards the group, being last seen heading south. This had occurred at 10:25 pm. At about 11:00 pm, the clouds above the group were seen to be illuminated from above by a rotating cartwheel of brilliant lights, spinning anti-clockwise. This display lasted for about ten minutes. The cloudbank in the north-east had grown larger when they observed four elliptical objects detach from the western edge of the cloud and then disappear into its eastern edge. Soon afterwards it began to rain and this quickly became a torrential downpour. They retreated to their cars, being very much aware that their equipment was in danger of getting soaked. At this point, some members of the group decided to catch up on lost sleep by returning to their accommodation, leaving four stalwarts to carry on with the watch. These remaining people had shared two cars, one being Dr. Greer’s, and they had decided to drive onto a hard-paved road on the adjacent farm. They’d sat and hoped that the rain would subside. At around 12:30 am., as the rain eased, one of the team in the other car came hammering on Dr. Greer’s window yelling that there was a spaceship coming across the adjacent field, only a few hundred feet away from them. They all then saw the object and what they saw astonished them. Dr. Greer described it as “a large, disk-shaped craft with brilliant lights rotating counter-clockwise along its base”. The object had a high dome or cone on which sat three amber lights on top of this structure. The report goes on to state that it was hovering no more than thirty feet (10m) above the ground and was located about four hundred yards (metres) from their position. They could see metallic structure between the rotating blue, green, amber and white lights and at times believed they could hear a humming sound. The team’s video recorder had been inoperable so that Dr. Greer had to give a commentary into his micro-cassette tape recorder. Using the fingers-at arms-length method, the diameter of the craft was assessed to be somewhere between 80 and 150 feet, this being dependent on the assumed distance away. It manoeuvred about the field as they watched and at one point seemed to flip up as if to reveal its underside, when the rotating lights gave it the appearance of an illuminated Christmas tree. Subsequently, one of the amber coloured lights on the dome had suddenly detached itself and flown off into the mist. A new Swedish compass with a life-time guarantee had been indicating all manner of directions for North during this encounter, slowly moving in a counter-clockwise direction, like the lights on the craft. The high-powered signal lamps had then been used to flash light signals towards the craft and, to their satisfaction, the craft had flashed back in the same sequences. Contact had been made! Afterwards, it seems that the craft had moved away into the mist and had been lost to view. What happened to it then is something of a mystery.
A large amber-coloured UFO was seen in the south-west at about 1:30 am. This had seemed to wobble as it hovered and was thought to be about one or two miles away. When flashed at by the signal lamps, it had obligingly responded in the same sequences before disappearing from view below the tree-line. It had been quite a night for the CSETI team!
After being told of all this I had remarked that, whilst the SETI scientists search the skies for radio signals from alien civilisations, a group of amateurs equipped only with signal lamps seemed to have already achieved that much sought-for contact. I added that they seemed to have had a far better success rate than I’d ever had myself!
Scientists are generally disinclined to even consider the possibility that technological aliens may have been surveying this planet, perhaps for millennia. For this reason, most of them cannot conceive or concede that my Astronautical Theory can have any validity whatsoever.
So, it needs to be emphasised, again and again, that we are not dealing with our kind of astronautics or space hardware. The technology being displayed is beyond our current understanding of physics. The craft manifest as solid objects when they are interacting with us, but are capable of metamorphosis when in operational mode; for example, whenever they move from one location in space-time to another. We can have no idea how they are able to perform in that way. Their technology is literally ‘out of this world’. But as my colleague and science author Edward Ashpole has repeatedly pointed out, that is exactly as we should expect it to be. It can only be regarded as being extremely fortunate that a programmed strategy, understandable in our terms, has been adopted by the visiting craft to facilitate their surveillance of this planet and that this has been able to be approximated by the AT.
