This is a story that I’ve told to a few close friends but have never written about it publicly mainly because if I heard this story from someone else who I did not know and trust I would probably have trouble believing them. Any way here goes….
It was late October /early November ’97 I was on a 10 day tour of Egypt. It was the afternoon and we were on a coach trip and stopped off at the Temple of Hatshepsut. I remember looking out the coach window and being transfixed by a spot on in area in front of the temple there was nothing obvious about it no markings but there was a group of Japanese tourists standing on it.
I don’t really remember getting out of the coach or being aware of any other people on the trip I just remember marching over to that spot and as I got near the Japanese group just kind of moved over about 200 yards or so to the left.
I got to the spot and this is where things start to get really weird. I felt like I had no control of my body, I started to turn around on the spot moving my arms around and strange guttural noises that were like no language I’ve ever heard were tumbling out off my mouth. The only thing I seemed to have any control over was my eyes. It was the most bizarre experience of my life. I was aware of what I was doing but had no control and remember feeling really embarrassed and looking out through my eyes at people that were near by and thinking they must think I’m some kind of nut and looking to see what there reaction was. But what was strange was that no body seemed to be aware of me I looked directly at a couple of people trying to establish eye contact but they seemed to look right past me.
The movements and the guttural tones stopped and I seemed to gain control of my body and felt suddenly aware of something above me. I looked up and saw this enormous round craft above me it was huge silver grey with lights around the out side. Again I looked around me this was so real I couldn’t believe that any one else was not seeing it I was pointing at it, but no one seemed to see me or the craft. Then 3 silver balls of light came down and were circling around me just out of arms length they were about a foot or so in diameter. It felt like they were observing me.
Then I felt like a bolt of electricity shoot through me from head to toe the craft was gone the balls of light were gone and everything around me looked just a little different. I can’t quite describe how different, just that the light looked like a slightly different shade? Also I couldn’t remember my name had to get my passport out several times to remind myself who I was.
This whole episode only seemed to take about 10 15 mins at the most so I thought I should head up to the temple and find the rest of the group only to find everyone heading back to the coach as it was time to go back to the boat. To be quite honest I can’t remember how long the stop was for but I am pretty sure it would have been at least an hour.
Now I can’t remember the exact date but I do remember that a week or so after getting home seeing on the news there was a terrorist attack at the same place and a number of people were killed and I’ve checked the date for that and it was 17th November ’97.
7 or 8 years latter I was aware that I was waking up with odd little bruises that I couldn’t account for and a really uneasy uncomfortable feeling started to grow inside me. It brought back to mind the event in Egypt and as I recalled the details I had a sudden flash back to when I was a child about 7 or 8. I was looking out of my bedroom window and I saw a huge round craft flying over the house exactly like the one I saw in Egypt. It was huge it covered the length of the street I remember the sense of it blocking out the sunlight it was so big. I just starred at it as it flew over the house and when it was out of sight I ran to the back bedroom fully expecting to see it over the garden but there was nothing there.
I ran downstairs and told my parents excitedly I’d just seen a UFO they responded with something like ‘Oh that’s nice dear ‘and carried on their conversation. I was furious at not being taken seriously and felt sure I’d be taken more seriously when it hit the news. For days afterwords I was glued to the news and scanning the papers I couldn’t believe no-one else saw it was so real to me but it appears no-one did or if they did they weren't talking about it.
