| Colin Andrews and Dr. Simeon Hein with a team attended a meeting in Wales, arranged by Phil Hoyle with important eye witnesses to three UFO incidents. One involved a policeman who reported a 9 feet tall 'Spaceman' the same night Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt encountered several 'Tall Beings' near Winchester which is less than 100 miles away in England. |

Saturday morning (July 24) was an early start to a meeting I had arranged with Phil Hoyle, the
primary researcher investigating increasing numbers of UFO reports in Wales. Synthia and I left
Andover in Hampshire and headed to Marlborough in Wiltshire to collect the group with Dr. Simeon
Hein and Busty Taylor. We drove in convoy to Presteigne, central south Wales where people have
been experiencing a wide range of events, including farmers seeing lights and beams both above
and inside their fields at night, followed by dead and mutilated sheep. The reports seem to follow
the classic animal mutilation scenarios that have occurred in many countries, especially the United
States. Phil graciously agreed to my request to set up a meeting with some of the eyewitnesses.
Assembled in the town’s Memorial Hall was Bill (surname withheld), a retired Aerospace Engineer,
Doris Matthews, a housewife and Ken (surname withheld), a retired police officer, each with an
extraordinary experience to share. Joining us were my long time friend and researcher Paul
Anderson, and Philip Goodyear, a CSETI (UK) member who had just left Dr. Steven Greer (now on
his way back to the USA).
Phil Hoyle gave us general background to the range of experiences reported in the vicinity around
Radnor Forest and a little beyond before introducing the eyewitnesses. He explained that another
important witness who was planning to attend was unable to at the last moment; this was one of the
farmers who had observed the lights in his fields and found mutilated sheep on his farm
We spent several hours listening to, and asking questions of, the witnesses.

Bill, an aerospace engineer and manager, spoke of a lifelong interest in the sky and space in
general after his father had an unusual sighting when Bill was a child. With a 360 degree view from
his home on a hillside at Builth Wells, Powys, Wales, Bill made it his practice to end each day
looking into the dark night sky. Apart from aircraft and satellites, he saw nothing unusual until the
1st June, 2009, when, during his usual evening survey, he was shocked to see a large white
glowing disc-shaped object above a tree about 300 feet away from him. It was huge, he said, and
“as soon as I caught sight of it, it sped away at colossal speed.” It had no sound and when asked,
Bill acknowledged that he had the distinct impression that ‘it’ knew he was there and left because he
had spotted it.
Doris Matthews told us that she was being driven by her daughter along a quiet road when they
were surrounded by flashes of light coming from above them, although they could not see the
source. The flashes stayed with them as if an object was directly over their car. Doris wanted to get
out and confront the object, or at least see what it was, but her daughter was terrified and sped
faster and faster towards Doris’s home. The lights stayed overhead. Before they reached the
house, a mist suddenly enveloped them and a bright light illuminated them and their surroundings
such that it was brighter than day. Doris claimed that it was so bright she could see every detail on
the houses, etc. Another person travelling in the area reported an identical experience that same
night. Doris reported her case to the police and an investigation was conducted although nothing
was concluded.
Doris described a nasty boil-like wound that developed afterwards on her chest, requiring medical
attention. Her car also had a strange burn mark on the hood which was analyzed by the police with
no result. The wound turned out to be a very deep infection that was difficult to heal, requiring daily
packing for several months. The scar is still there. Her daughter has been experiencing strange
occurrences around her home since this event took place. This reminded me of other witnesses
who have also reported that they seemed to have taken ‘something’ home with them from their
encounters.
To name two such cases, the Joyce Bowles encounter with tall beings near Winchester in 1976 and
the Wiltshire policeman who witnessed three tall beings next to Silbury Hill a year ago. (See report
on the website: )
Next at the meeting to share his experience was another former policeman, Ken, who had his
encounter on the outskirts of Bristol while driving home after his work shift. He was passing the
entrance gate of a research facility when he saw an eight-to-nine foot tall being. With no other
vocabulary to express it, he called the being a ‘spaceman’. The being was wearing a one-piece suit
and a helmet with a black visor over his eyes. Ken said that as he was not on duty and had no idea
what he was looking at, he went straight home, arriving still in shock. Although he told his wife, who
did not believe it, he decided not to make an official report fearing professional repercussions. The
next day he learned from the newspaper of two other people who reported seeing a ‘spaceman’
looking into their car at Chilcomb, near Winchester, after their car engine failed. Ken was reading
about the famous Joyce Boyles and Ted Pratt encounter mentioned above. Both Ken’s event and
theirs happened the same night in 1976. Chilcomb is about seventy miles southeast of Bristol.
In a separate event, on the 31st December last year at St. Harmon, Powys, Wales, Ken’s son came
rushing in from the quiet cul-de-sac where they lived calling for Ken to go outside and look at an
object in the sky that had the whole street outside. Ken said that he could not believe what was
going on. Lots of the neighbours were out in the street watching a large orange ball-shaped object
which had landed at the end of the street [distance to be clarified? ]. A neighbour had a tripod and
telescope set up and Ken was able to look through it at the object. He said it was very bright and
looked liquid due to the movement within it. Although he had not thought about it before, hearing
Doris’s account made him wonder about a skin cancer under his right eye which has been surgically
removed two times and yet keeps returning. Phil pointed out that there was at least 20 years
between Ken’s sighting in 76 and the arrival of the cancer.
Phil spoke of the on going experiences of farmers in the area who continue to report mutilated
sheep and strange lights. The lights have now been captured on film by Phil and the team of
researchers he works with.
Although the stories people told were captivating, the greatest effect for Synthia and me wasn’t from
the events, but from the impact the events clearly had on these ordinary people in extraordinary
situations. These people’s lives were completely altered and the emotion the events still carried for
them was touching. Ken, Bill and Doris had not met each other before this meeting, and as each
told their story, the others learned something about their own experience that they hadn’t realized.
The authenticity of each person’s reaction as we watched them put pieces together made this
remarkable.
