AUSTRALIAN CLOSE ENCOUNTERS -----------------------------

We journey into the twilight zone with three people who recall, under
hypnosis, their astonishing experiences of alien abduction - and
bizarre experiments.

You may find some of the facts far-fetched. Others you may feel are
simply figments of people's imaginations - but they will all make you
think twice about UFOs. We take a look at three close encounters,
accounts by people whom UFO experts believe have been abducted by
extra-terrestrials, and talk to an Adelaide farmer who believes his
property was used as a landing site. Roy Lake, 53 chairman of UFO
Studies, an international organisation with its head office in London,
has been studying UFOs for 33 years. He formed his group two years ago
with three people, and now has 18 investigators.  "The subject goes a
lot further than the public's perception of little green men," Roy
says. "When you mention abductions and flying saucers, people ridicule
it. But you can't dispute the evidence that is materialising to the
contrary. And unfortunately, a lot of prople are too scared to talk
about it." Tony Dodd, 57, is the director of investigation and
research for UFO Magazine, and he had his first encounter with a UFO
in 1978.  "I'm very involved with investigating abduction cases and
I'm usually present at the regression hypnosis sessions," Tony says.
"The similarities of the stories related by the people under hypnosis
are so strong that even sceptics would change their minds. "We believe
the aliens are involved in genetic engineering, but it's not new -
it's been going on for centuries."  Harry Harris, 50, a lawyer who has
spent 12 years investigation accounts of sightings, adds: "My
conclusions are that these people experience amnesia, and hypnosis is
the only way they can recall the time they've lost."            XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER ONE.

Housewife Linda Jones, 49, considers herself to be an ordinary person.
She is married to Trevor, who works as a heating engineer, and they
have two children.  One August evening 13 years ago, she was out
walking with her daughter and son, aged 15 and five, collecting wild
flowers along the banks of a local river. She was bending down looking
at a plant when her son suddenly said, "Look Mum, the moon's coming
towards us." Linda saw an orange and pink ball of light heading
towards them.  "We all ducked really low in the grass," she recalls.
"There was no noise, and at the last moment the object shot off to the
right. It went over two hills and then appeared to drop vertically
onto a field. I thought it was a plane on fire, so we started to run
towards it.  We got to within 30 metres and we could see this massive
white light with an under-structure like a bridge, made of what looked
like a mesh material," Linda says. "It was hovering about a metre off
the ground and appeared to have no windows or doors. It seemed to be
as light as a feather, even though it was about 18 metres across.
"Normally, I'd run away from any danger, but I felt myself being drawn
towards it. My daughter was terrified and kept shouting, "Come away,
Mum!" But my son was quite calm. "As we were watching, the object kept
appearing and disappearing - it was really weird.  Eventually, we
turned around and ran off. But as we ran, the grass blew over in front
of us and the thing just followed us. "The object then disappeared,
but shortly afterwards we spotted it trailing a plane that was about
to land at the nearby airport."  When she got home, Linda found the
skin under her eyes was burned and scaly. She and her daughter also
had violet scars on their left legs. Eighteen months later, Harry
Harris, the lawyer who works with Roy Lake, contacted Linda and
persuaded her and her daughter to be hypnotised. They gave their
consent and, while under hypnosis, were videotaped. Both related the
same chain of events.  "I was running downhill and bumped into a tall
human figure, then everthing blurred," Linda says on one of the
videotapes. "I then experienced a sensation of floating. Next I was on
a table being examined and I had a feeling of ice being put on my legs.
There were six very tall people who looked like clones. They wore dark
overalls up to their necks, their hair was dark and their eyes were
black and almond-shaped."

Linda still cannot consciously recall this event. We have not named
her children because her son is terrified of reliving the sighting
and, although now a teenager, he sleeps with the light on.  Linda's
daughter is now married and refuses even to discuss the subject
because she is afraid that people will mock her. After the incident,
Linda's periods stopped (she was 36 years old), and she has since had
problems with a lump in her neck that keeps appearing a disappearing.
"I even went into hospital to have the lump removed. When the surgeon
came for a last check, he found it had disappeared, so the operation
was cancelled. At the moment, it's back.  I feel like an idiot because
I know all this is not normal," Linda says. "I just wish more people
who have had similar experiences would come forward, because it would
help me feel easier about the whole thing."    XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER TWO.

It was 5:15 am and policeman Alan Godfrey, 34, was thinking about
going home after a night on patrol.  Suddenly, he saw what he thought
was a bus. But later, in a taped interview, he said, "I realised it
wasn't a bus. It was about six metres wide and four metres high,
hovering just over a metre above the ground. The bottom half was
spinning and there was a row of darkened windows and a dome on top."
When he tried to report back to his headquarters, neither his car
radio nor his pocket walkie-talkie would work. He started sketching
the UFO, but it suddenly vanished. At first, he did not want to report
the incident because he was afraid of sounding foolish. When he
discovered that five other policemen had reported a UFO at much the
same time, he decided to come clean. What mystifies Alan is that the
reports were never investigated.  "I wish now I'd slapped a parking
ticket on it, because then at least some bureaucrat would have wanted
to know why the fine hadn't been paid," Alan jokes.  Another odd thing
was that when UFO researchers visited Alan, they discovered that at
least 15 minutes of that night were missing from his detailed log
entry of the event.

A year later, Alan was persuaded to undergo a technique called
regression hypnosis - which is used by police enforcement bodies
throughout the world.  Hypnosis enables witnesses of crimes to
remember in great detail facts that their concious minds either
disregard of suppress. In all, Alan has been hypnotised five times and
each time his story is the same. On each occasion, he was videotaped.
The following is a small extract from one videotape; "I'm in a room
now ... there's a table." (Horror on his face.) "There's him. Don't
know who the 'him' is. About 180cm, like a man. He's got a sort of
black and white sheet on. He has a beard and something like a skull
cap." (Alan's face distorts with fear.) "They're horrible. He's
touching me. He's feeling at the cloth ... at my clothes. They have
hands and heads like a lamp. They're making noises." He stretches his
lips and makes a high-pitched warbling noise, imitating the sound.
"Joseph. I know he's Joseph. He told me not to be scared.  These are
robots. They're not humans. There's a dog. I think it's a dog. It's
horrible.  Joseph is leading me to a table. It's a bed. It looks like
black leather. He wants me to get on it - not likely! "Now I'm getting
on to the bed. I don't know why. There's a light ..."  The stress was
so great at this point that the psychiatrist, taking a reading from
the heart monitor to which Alan was wired, stopped the test. At a
later session, Alan relates in some detail an examination that Joseph
performed on him. The last thing he recalls is the aliens removing his
boots and looking at his toes.  Alan later says that after seeing the
craft hovering, and blanking out, he found himself back in the police
car, with one boot split and a circular burn on his left instep. So
what was his reaction when he was shown the videotapes of his hypnosis
sessions?  "I was absolutely shocked. I still can't conciously recall
any of it."  Another baffling fact is that several years before Alan's
encounter, doctors said he was unable to father children after being
beaten up on duty. But a few years after his encounter, his son John
was born. Alan has since had a vasectomy.  He says of his experience:
"I wish it hadn't happened. I'm just an ordinary bloke just trying to
do my job."        XX

CLOSE ENCOUNTER NUMBER THREE.

Until now, Maria, 34, has been reluctant to talk publicly about her
close encounters with UFOs because she does not want to be ridiculed.
But she now believes the subject deserves to be treated more seriously,
so has decided - with reservations - to break her silence. Maria still
does not want her full name revealed. Her experiences are fascinating
becuase, unlike Linda and Alan, Maria has never been subjected to
hypnosis.  It was Novenber 1990, when Maria, an agricultural research
assistant, experienced a UFO sighting that was to trigger apparent
past memories of the alien kind. "My husband was away when I was
abducted from my bedroom," she says.  "I was left with physical
injuries - a patch of hair missing from the back of my head, a
circular patch of seven pinpricks on my little finger. Twice I had
pregnancies confirmed by my doctor, then in the third month I was
mysteriously not pregnant." Maria describes the encounter:  "I was
fast asleep when suddenly I felt as though unseen hands were shaking
me. I sat up and looked at the clock. It was 3:40am. I felt compelled
to look out the window, so I got out of bed. At first I remember
thinking, with a smile on my face, 'Oh, look, it's Father Christmas'.
"There were lights shimmering, then this wheel of light just came
cartwheeling down into the garden. I panicked and ran into the hall
where I saw a light. I was then told - not by a voice but by thought
transference - to look at this light and that it wouldn't hurt me. As
much as I tried not to look, I couldn't stop myself. "Next thing it
was 90 minutes later and I was sitting in bed. My feet were dirty.
There was blood on my pillow. I couldn't recall what had happened.
"Over the past few years I have had flashbacks to that night. I have
not been hypnotised, but I have spontaneously remembered things. "I
recalled being walked down this long corridor by three small beings.
They were a bronze colour and smelt terrible - like rotten mushrooms.
I was then laid on a metallic table. I can remember certain things
being done to me. My head and hair being held and a tremendously sharp
pain at the back of my head - that must have been when my hair
disappeared. The most frightening thing, though, was having a glass
tube put up my nose. At that point, I thought they were going to kill
me. I can remember thinking, 'I don't want to die like this'. The pain
was considerable. "A few days later, I went to my doctor who referred
me to a hospital consultant who could find no reason for my injuries.
In fact, tests came back saying there was unusual cellular damage as
well as a soft tissue injury to my cervix. They could not account for
this. I have the signed medical records from my doctor and hospital
consultant to prove it. "It's easy for people to say aliens don't
exist, but physical symptoms don't just appear," says Maria.

She says she doesn't like "ET theory", which goes against everything
she believes in - "but something's going on. They are very real, but
where they come from, I don't know. It's as though some external thing
is saying to me, 'Right, today you will remember this'. I've no doubt
at all that it's a specific course - a programmed course - and all of
us are given just parts of the puzzle. "I feel aliens are around me a
great deal. There have been a lot of UFO sightings in the area where I
live - most recently only a few weeks ago.  "I don't want to be
hypnotised, because conscioulsy I know my mind couldn't cope with the
experience. But on the other hand - perhaps I really don't want to
know." XX     Story: John Moore.

ALIENS IN ADELAIDE.

Adelaide Hills grazier Andrew Davidson is frankly baffled. What
spooked one of his horses to go into a wild, galloping, whinnying
panic for a couple of nights recently? What caused a big, egg-shaped
"circle" to appear mysteriously on a remote paddock about the same
time? "It's almost as if you'd brought a huge branding iron down and
went whoooosh and pulled it up again," Andrew says, shaking his head.
"Like putting a brand on the hide of a cow - but the strange thing is,
the grass isn't burned. It's more like it has had the life sucked out
of it and been left lying down in flat patterns." Andrew, who owns a
large sheep farm 35km east of Adelaide, points out the odd patterns -
one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. The dead grass patch [ring]
is 56cm wide, forming an egg shape 22 metres by 13 metres. "There were
no wheel marks - no trucks or tractors or rollers," Andrew says. "My
mate can back me on that." (There were definately no signs of tracks
when we went to the site 11 days later) Andrew's friend John Purvis
was the first to find the circle as he cut across the paddock to get
wood for his fire early on november 16.  "The untouched surroundings
really puzzled me. I raced home (he lives in a cottage on the
property), got my video camera and recorded it. "It was weird about
our horse, too. He was in the same paddock as the circle, and a few
nights before I found it, he was galloping and whinnying and carrying
on like a mad thing." Andrew Davidson's way of heading off the
sceptics who might think he is crazy has been to call in a group of
experts to unravel the mystery. "I got the agronomist from the
Department of Agriculture at Mt Barker. I wasn't there when he called,
but from what I've heard he was totally perplexed. When I talked to
him later he said, 'Look, there's no biological or agricultural
explanation - no fungus, no root-rot or weedkillers or anything like
that." Graeme Budgen, a scientist with a consulting engineering
company who did soil and radiation tests, found strange readings in
the circle.  The salt content in the circle was 40% higher than the
rest of the paddock (a characteristic of "UFO circles") and radiation
was up. "The moisture content is especially weird," Graeme says. "It's
much higher on the circle than away from it, yet the soil on the
circle feels and looks dry and crumbly and the rest of the paddock is
soaking wet. There's something very strange here and I cannot conclude
what has happened. My opinion is that it's no hoax. A hoaxer couldn't
duplicate an elaborate thing like this."   [There's a couple of very
good photos, one showing the egg-shaped 'track' from an elevated
position with three men standing inside, and one close up showing the
'dead' grass]

Colin Norris, director of Australian International UFO Research,
agrees. "I've looked into thousands of UFO phenomena and I can spot a
fake a mile off. This is no hoax. There has been a visit from an
extra-terrestrial craft here, for sure. In the eight weeks leading up
to this I had a spate of UFO reports around these parts. The Air Force
rang me because they were getting so many reports of lights moving and
standing still in the Adelaide Hills." As the evidence piles up,
Andrew Davidson admits his lifetime disbelief in UFOs has taken a
battering.  Crop circles, or "the calling cards of UFOs" as their
believers call them, were first reported in 1976 and serious research
began in 1980. One of the most controversial sites has been in the
Wessex Triangle in England - an area rich in mystical associations and
location of Stonehenge.           XX Story: Liz Johnswood.
