Perhaps you can help me by shedding some light on a few experiences I have had. I am a very sceptical person, in fact I have 20 years of scientific
training and genetics work behind me. I do not have a Ph.D but I have a degree and a masters in genetics. I only say this because it may give you some
idea as to why I am so sceptical. Anyway the following experiences have left me shattered, my entire reality has been somewhat fractured and what was
an exciting and fulfilling career has become a little mundane and to be honest quite insignificant. These experiences have left me questioning why and
what. Am I a little mad or is there something to this. Any advice you have would be really helpful. I don’t think this is off topic as it relates a
little to what you have discussed.
About 5 years ago I was travelling back from the Tasmanian Highlands with my father and we noticed a white ball of light following the car, my father
is very sceptical about this stuff but he suddenly appeared nervous and would not let me stop the car to get a picture or try and see what it was. It
followed us for about 5 minutes. Then a motorcycle appeared heading towards us, the light vanished and the motorcycle drove past. When the motorcycle
was out of view the light reappeared and continued following the car, I was driving so my dad kept watching it and after a few more minutes he told me
it had shot off over the car.
About 3 years ago I recall being laid in my bed unable to move anything but my eyes, I recall being in an odd environment, there were no sharp edges
on anything in the room (I don’t know why I recall this but it stood out) and it had an almost mother of pearl appearance, blues and purples. I
remember climbing off a table, not really afraid, but trying to get out of the room, there were small beings around me but I cannot make out their
faces, they followed me around and sort of ushered me to a room. Then I woke up in my bed, exhausted and a little nervous, I woke my partner up to
explain the odd dream I had and before I said anything she said “I just had the most bizarre dream that there was a small grey being in the room
with large eyes, I couldn’t move, but it was ok I wasn’t scared because they told me they were here for you!” (voices in my head) Now in October
2010 I was at work at about 5pm and all of a sudden I felt I had to go home to bed, this is most unlike me. I grabbed my stuff, got in my car and went
straight home to bed, and fell asleep pretty much immediately, I did not really question what I was doing until I was half way home. I woke up at what
I think was 2-30am and my room was just as I left it, I hadn’t pulled the curtains, my clothes were on the floor and there was a DVD sitting on the
edge of the DVD player just as I had left it the night before. The room and possibly the entire house was filled with this amazing blue light which
itself seemed to be full of bright blue/white orbs dancing around, I cannot describe this light it was just something totally different and so utterly
fantastic. What was weird was I knew what was happening and as I became more aware of what was about to happen I started to panic but I managed to
calm my breathing and my heart rate. I felt like there were some small beings near me but again I could not see their faces its like they are masked
from me. I felt myself falling asleep again and then remember nothing until I am back in my bed, its 3-30am, the light is fading and I am desperately
trying to see the entities. I remember thinking very consciously “I want to see you!”, and at that moment my gaze was drawn to the bedroom window,
I saw what seemed to be a creature outside (I sleep upstairs so this seemed very odd). I got the fright of my life! It had what appeared to be quite
big black eyes but its face was not smooth it was wrinkly and it stared at me for a short while. I lost my calm and started to panic, something I am
still angry with myself for. I wanted to smile at it but I was too scared. The light faded and the creature vanished. I remember falling back to sleep
and waking up at 4-05am (I have a clock next to my bed).
Now about a week after this event, it was late October/early November 2010 I was sleeping at home and in my sleep I could see a strobe like flashing
light through my closed eyes. After a moment I managed to open my eyes to see this flashing white light filling my room, again I am paralysed but I
could move my head and eyes. I knew something odd was occurring and I surveyed my room for details to ensure I was not dreaming. Again everything was
just as I left it, I could hear my cat sleeping on the end of my bed and I looked to my right and there was a six ft being standing by my bed staring
at me (the flashing white light continued). I managed to slightly shift my position so I was looking straight at this entity (that was exhausting
btw). I managed to study it for about 2-3 minutes before it just vanished with a flash of the light. It had very big black eyes, I guess it loosly
resembled a preying mantis but there was very little insect about it. It was very slender, its skin was transparent and I could make out vessels (like
blood vessels) under the skin which appeared to have what looked like tiny balls of light moving through them. I could also sort of make out its
skeleton amongst all the other anatomical detail. Its head was big and it had what looked like 2 short fleshy antennae on its head. I got a real sense
of gentleness and wisdom from this creature and it seemed to just be content standing and staring at me, I managed a “hello how are you” and very
shortly after I said it was when it vanished.
After these experiences I went through a period of about 6 days where I was experiencing total peace and an understanding of things that I don’t
really quite get, it was like I understood everything but at the same time wasn’t sure what it was I understood. I felt a connectedness to
everything living and actually for 6 days I was totally blown away. This sensation faded and left me very confused about my mental health….
In Early December 2010 I was fishing with my friend Simon up in the Tasmanian highlands, we were fishing a lake called Pine Tier. I had stopped
fishing and was stood next to my friend and we both saw a flash of light in the sky (it was still light not dark) and I saw what appeared to be a
silver apple seed shape shoot out of the flash and streak across the sky. Simon did not see the pip he only saw the flash. He looked at me and said
“# did you see that?”. I told him I did and we stopped fishing and discussed it for a while both of us were surprised there was no bang or
explosion associated with it. We lit a fire a while later and started cooking dinner. I saw another flash in the sky which Simon missed but while I
was playing with the fire Simon said “Giles can you see that?”. I looked up and there was an orange orb moving silently above us it tracked across
the sky and vanished behind some trees. We don’t think it was chinese lanterns as it moved against the wind direction and there was no flickering of
light or change in altitude but that does remain a possibility.
2 weeks after this event I had a friend called Harry visit me from NZ. Both myself and Simon decided to take him fishing to Arthurs lake, again up in
the highlands. We found a campsite in an opening in the trees and made camp. We went fishing for a few hours then came back and lit a fire. Simon and
I were telling harry of our experiences a couple of weeks before and we all had a bit of a laugh when Simon said he didn’t like camping with me
anymore as weird things often happen (its really not that often it was a joke). Harry was cooking some food on the fire and Simon had got up to go for
a whizz behind a tree. I turned to Simon as he was taking a whizz and said “mate what would you do if this whole area we are camping in just lit up
like a football pitch?”. Now this is either a very strange coincidence or something is going on here because the moment I finished saying that
sentence the whole area we were in lit up like day (it was very dark before). Simon seriously looked shocked, I was expecting to see a bloody huge
ship hovering over us and Harry just sat there mouth wide open. I turned around and looked up and a large white light moved slowly over us (probably
2-3000ft above perhaps less) and split into 2 and travelled over the lake lighting the whole place up. I thought it was a large meteor but it was
travelling very slowly and about 10 minutes after this event whilst we were still discussing it we heard a huge explosion way off in the distance and
felt a shockwave hit us. That was really very odd indeed and a little unnerving.
Thank you
