What Happened to us??

My husband and I decided to take our dog, Bella, for a walk along a beautiful and secluded beach in Pembroke, West Wales UK. This area is well known for UFO sightings, but I have always dismissed them as people mistaking aeroplanes, stars etc for ET.

We decided that we would stay on the beach to watch the sunset. Shortly after dusk we noticed a long tube like light in the sky, just above the horizon. We stopped to watch it and thought it may be debris entering the atmosphere, however it did not burn out and just seemed to hover in the sky. Intrigued, we stood and watched this object for several minutes, it was then joined by another identical object then another and another, soon there were 4. They seemed to be interacting with each other and pulsating green and blue.

We watched in amazement, discussing possible explanations for the sight before us. Judging by the speed and directional change of these objects, there was not way that they were conventional aircraft. As the area is sparsely populated, we knew this was no light show either. We watched the objects dancing in the sky for approximately 20 minutes until they suddenly appeared to change direction and travelled towards the shore.

The next thing I remember is waking up on the beach, next to my husband and Bella was no longer with us. We were both very disorientated. It was pitch black, yet minutes before it was dusk. We called and called Bella, but she did not respond, which is very unusual for her.

I think it was my husband who checked his watch and found it was past 11pm. We couldn’t understand this as it was about 7 - 7.30pm just a few moments ago. Now in a state of panic, we tried to make our way off the beach, back to the car, desperately calling her all the way.

After what seemed like hours, we made it back to the car, but we could not leave without the dog! So we decided to stay in the car until sunrise and try to find her in the light. We sat there for hours, in total silence, waiting for the sun to come up. All the time, my mind was racing, trying to figure out what had just happened, where was my dog.

As soon as it was light, we went back to the beach, looking for Bella, we must have walked miles, but there was no sign of her. Eventually, we left the beach, heartbroken because we had lost our beloved dog. We have since put up a reward for her return, but still have not been able to find her.

I really don’t know what happened that night and deep down, I’m not sure if I want to know, but ever since, I have suffered numerous nightmares which I really don’t want to describe right now.

If anyone else has had a similar experience to this, please let me know, maybe you could help me shed some light on what happened to me and my husband and our dog.

Well, I think you know what happened to you, your husband, and your dog. You are just not ready to admit it. What you are talking about is a typical abduction story. I doubt you will ever see your dog again. I am very sorry as I too love my dogs very much. Were I you I would try to forget the events of that night and get on with your lives.

Yep, I agree. this sounds like a text book, lost time abduction experience. Regression therapy may help you with the nightmares and recount what happened, but like you said, you may not want to relive that experience.

I would also check your body to see if you notice any unusual marks, scratches or bumps.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. Again, regression therapy may help you recall what happened to him as well. Good luck and please let us know what you find out if you feel up to it. Thanks for sharing.

I am very sorry for what you had to go through! It makes me very very angry and I would never ever go back to that beach. specially with dogs (if you decide to have new dogs in the future).

I am much against forgetting, indeed you should get a grip of what happened even if this takes the rest of your life. Because this is far from normal. Normal grieving can take years. So give yourself and your husband all the time and care you need. This something else than becoming obsessed.

There is of course a chance that Bella ran off and was not part of what ever happened, but I think you might better know whether she was part of the event or not.

It is just an idea, but if indeed you think non-humans were involved and the stories about telepathy are true, you might want to ask them to return Bella to you. That is send out a thought.

I sincerely hope you both are going to find ways to cope and emerge even stronger.

I had an experience with what I guess I would say were my usual visitors. The dog, who apparently wasn't effected as humans are during a visitation, had attacked one of them several times and the alien or whomever would just throw her back across the room, which was only a few feet where they stood. He said something like; " I've had just about enough of this" as if he was planning on killing the dog. I recalled yelling at her to stop, even though, I don't think I was actually in control saying it.

So, I susupect you people were abducted and your dog may have attacked them, so they probably killed it.

This is very peculiar ; I would have thought the "beings" ( if we are to explain that night's events with an alien abduction) would have taken you two instead of the animal, and whatsmore, if they did take the animal, they obviosuly don't want to give it back ( unlike human abductions...)

Regression therapy ( as mentioned above many times) could be extremely helpful ( despite the terrifying aspect of having to relive that night ) and you may even find out what happened to the dog!

Good Luck,

Unium

Thank you all for your replies, it's the first time we have shared this story with anyone, for fear of being treated as 'nut jobs'. So it is very comforting to know that people have actually taken us seriously.

I am still very unsure about regression therapy and I really think my husband would rather just pretend that it never happened to us, so the main reasons that are really stopping me trying this is that it might make things worse for us, if only I go through this, I really don't know where to go for help. And of course, the main thing that really scares me is having the memories of that nights events, especially if my dog died during it all.

There are numerous stories in the press about sightings in this area.
Here is a link to a blog that I feel is quite similar to yours - www.alien-ufos.com...

Here is also a story from the local news paper. So at least you know the british government is aware of UFO activity in the area.

UFO sightings sparked MoD probe May 28 2005 Sam Burson, Western Mail
A SPATE of UFO sightings in Wales prompted a secret Ministry of Defence investigation, newly-released information has revealed.

The clamour around the possibility of "little green men" visiting Pembrokeshire forced Government officials to look into the situation in the late 1970s.

There were numerous tabloid reports, including one of an entire class of schoolchildren claiming to have seen a UFO landing.

Many others reported being petrified by a strange silver alien.

It all happened in what became known as the Broad Haven Triangle.

Canny tourist operators even started running UFO sighting weekends.

But new documents show despite publicly dismissing the reports as hoaxes, defence experts were racing to get answers.

In a letter from May 1977, MoD minister Dr John Gilbert MP tells officials in the department, "I am being inundated at the present time with representations about UFOs said to have been seen in Pembrokeshire."

He asks whether any investigations are being carried out.

A reply tells the minister, "We look into detailed reports of unexplained phenomena to see if they have a bearing on the national defences."

But they reassured we were not in danger of alien takeover, saying, "My department has carried out that type of investigation on the reports received from Wales, but these have been few in recent months.

"No evidence has been revealed to suggest that the alleged sightings in Wales, or indeed those reported from other parts of Great Britain in the past, contained anything of significance from a defence point of view.

"All I can tell you on the basis of the department's past experience, is that most reports of this nature can usually be referred to a commonplace object, which may have been observed perhaps from an unusual angle or in somewhat unusual weather or lighting conditions."

However, unbeknown to the minister, the RAF in West Wales was asked to carry out a "discreet" investigation.

An extract of a private memorandum to the Provost and Security Service of the RAF, (effectively the military police), reads, "I should be grateful if you would have a look at these papers and let me know whether you think some sort of discreet inquiry would be worthwhile.

"What I would really like to know is the volume of local interest and/or alarm, and whether there is a readily discernible rational explanation for it (perhaps a practical joker), or even whether there is prima facie evidence for a more serious specialist enquiry.

"But I have not committed you in any way, and I have not even told the minister I am consulting you."

The report called for has yet to be released.

Sheffield University's folklore lecturer Dr David Clarke, who uncovered the other documents under the Freedom of Information Act, is now trying to track it down.

Dr Clarke, who is researching a book called Saucer Full of Secrets about the folklore of UFO sightings, said, "I was really surprised to find this.

"Generally the MoD dismisses these things and doesn't take them too seriously.

"But to find they ordered an investigation behind the Minster's back is pretty interesting.

its sad you lost your doggy.
I love mine so much and I havnt seen them in over a year. They are probaly thousands of miles away.

Wish I could help you out, but UFOS dont abduct me, i guess that I'm no mystery or no fun.

Hopefully they have given your dog eternal life and a happy place to live from

"Tubes of light"?
Did it look like these? Unfortunately, I can't tell if it is really coming from the sky or it is a reflection of light bulbs on glass and they are looking out the window. You folks be the judge...

Good lord.

Well, I honestly don't know how to respond appropriately to this yet so I'll reserve judgement, since that is after all, what you'll get here in spades, even if uncommented.

Many read, even if they don't reply and as a first post goes.....

Your experience (as you have described it) conforms to nothing better for want of a term than the worst stereotype.

No doubt there will be many advising on all kinds of things and telling you the truth of the matter with regards to the evil aliens et al, but.. don't be surprised that the incoherent rants of an internet anonymity don't always represent the best interests.

I'll wait and see.

You could after all, be a simple liar.

Though this advice I'll give you for free.

Don't play with hypnosis.

It's not a toy despite the attitude of the simplistic collective. There is a reason why dreams are kept till you sleep and dreams include nightmares.

Think long and hard before going down that route.

Dear OP:
I empathize with trying to make sense of such an event. I also understand wanting to communicate with others with similar experiences, but not really wanting to know exactly what happened after things "went black". I therefore write. Only a handful of my closest have ever heard this story.

In the early 1980's (I was 21 yrs., an oilfield worker) in a Texas town on the border with Mexico, I took my girlfriend to a motel. We went to bed early. I woke up sometime during the night, seems like it was very late. I saw bright flashing multi-colored lights in the room, and thought a police car was outside. I sat up in bed, fully awake, readying myself to go check out what was going on outside. She woke up and said "what's wrong". Then I noticed that the ceiling above me was covered with a mosaic of multi-colored lights swirling around in a circular pattern, much like the appearance of a kaleidoscope with purple, mauve, lavender, many shades of red. I realized the source of the light was not from outside, but above, and said "Oh my God!” That is the last thing I remember until the next morning.

The next thing I remember, the room was lit up with daylight (it was after 7 AM). I opened my eyes, and she opened hers. We were lying facing each other. She said "What was that?” I asked "what did you see?" She said "a lot of red lights". The night went from dark to very bright sunlight instantly, it seemed.

We got up and started getting our stuff together, and we did not discuss it any further. Even though I am an extremely inquisitive person and I never let things go until I get to the bottom: I let this go for a full year before I let myself investigate it. When I confronted the memory through professionally-taught self-hypnosis (no suggestion possible), I panicked out of the self-hypnosis. I was told by the counselor that if I wanted to pursue it, it would have to be supervised. He said the conscious mind would not bear what the unconscious saw. Since that I have decided not to explore this (27 yrs.) It gives me a bad feeling, and I don’t want to know as of yet. Sleeping is hard enough.

If all of this is true, and i will have to assume it is then i would say you know exactly what happened to you as you came to ATS to post it. Go to any of the groups dealing with abduction cases. They will help you out without laughing.

Although i'm still not a 100% believer on abduction.

Wow. This is a very disturbing story. I am so sorry for you and your husband for having lost your dog. I have lost a dog before and I know how painful it is. I am also a believer in abductions and its seems quite obvious that this is the case for you.

In my opinion I think the only way to deal with this traumatic event is to confront it. Find out what happened no matter how painful and frightening it might be. You need closure for yourself and for your pet. I fear that if you don't this will haunt you for the rest of your life. Just as SawSomeThings said above. 27 years later and he's still having nightmares.

Regression therapy may be the only way to come to grips with what happened to you and begin to move on. I am sincerely sorry for you and my prayers are with you friend.

Why is it that I've only ever seen members of ATS one day make posts about abductions? I'm talking about members who didn't sign up, but have been active for a while and then post a story.

I mean, I've been all over many different forums about different subjects, never did any member, for example, on a graphics forum, suddenly one day say "Yesterday I was abducted".

I can't believe it is just a coincidence that people who want everyone to believe in earth visiting aliens and abductions are the only ones that post abduction stories (this is of course not true, but is the general trend online).

I just don't get how things like this happen w/ out footage. I mean, doesn't like 80% of the planet own cell phones? I think the first thing I'd do was try to take pictures or record a video. Not just stare at it. I don't mean to sound rude and I apologize if I came off that way. I just get frustrated w/ only testimony and no physical evidence. I wish you and your husband the best and I hope you can gather the courage to confront this. You have no idea how lucky you are, even if it may seem like the complete opposite.

Sounds like you've never seen anything amazing and mindblowing like that.

Your brain doesn't always act so rational. Your thoughts are going a million miles per hour "OH MY GOD. NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS.", you are speechless, your heart feels like it is stopped, everything is slowing down, you are contemplating what it means, is it the end?

I don't blame the characters in this story (fiction or true, i dont know) for not taking any footage.

So sorry to hear about that.

Has your Bella always seemed extremely intelligent?

A few possibilities.

1. Bella was actually a member of the alien ship and they were picking up their own.

2. Aliens are preparing an ark.

3. They chose to abduct the most intelligent of the 3.

4. You guys did something horrible to the dog and now your mind is refusing to acknowledge it as a self defense mechanism.

Sorry for being mean I have a JRT myself.
