BEFORE MY VERY EYES

Let me begin by saying first of all that I have never before had any reason to believe in UFOs. Like most lawyers I am assumed to lack imagination and accept only what is proved to me.

Recently, however, I was driving home from Northallerton, passing through open countryside, when I encountered a peculiar sighting that I would like to share with you. What seemed to be a ball of yellow light sped quickly across the road in an arc. The car in front of me applied its brakes, as I too instinctively slowed down to watch the strange mass which was plummeting towards a field ahead of me on the nearside. I anticipated that some kind of crash was going to occur when the flying object suddenly changed course within 40 or so feet of the ground; there was a flash of green as it appeared to accelerate away and then it disappeared into thin air!

Several weeks later I still cannot explain what it was that I saw and, in hope more than anticipation, have looked at the recently published MOD records. Of course I didn’t find the answer, but one of the entries from Carlisle on an unspecified date in 2008 caught my attention. The witness reporting the incident had seen a UFO and there was an alien in his house! Poignantly it reminded me of the divorce case I handled once upon a time where a client told me he’d had a brilliant honeymoon, brought his bride home to Darlington and then found he was living with an alien for the next 20 years!
