Possible UFO and The Cat From Another Dimension
I hope you are both well.
The experience I am about to share with you happened a number of years ago, back when we were seeing a lot of aerial activity.
I can honestly say that we were amazed at just how much was going on, right on our doorstep.
I would estimate that at least three times a week, we would see glowing lights in the sky and they would mostly appear in threes.
At the time I didn't do a particularly good job of capturing these things with a camera. I did try a video camera but only managed a short capture.
Anyway, back to the main reason for contacting you - It was around June time I think and we were headed to our allotment, about a mile from our home.
The time was roughly 7:00pm, maybe a little earlier. The sun was out and it was a lovely bright late afternoon. We jumped in the car which was in a car park just behind the tower of flats we lived in. My partner was driving and we made our way slowly through the car park on to a short stretch of road that would take us to the main road.
This short stretch of road always had cars parallel parked which reduced it down to a single track so we were driving quite slowly. This is a very built-up area just south of Heathrow airport although during our experience which amounted to no more than a few minutes, there was no one else around. Just ahead of us, about 20 metres, we noticed a ginger cat. We both saw it and although we imagined it could see us approaching, it was doing nothing to get out of the way.
The cat's behaviour was not that odd to me, I'd seen cats do this kind of thing before, where they stand as if in some kind of trance. Anyway, we are still approaching in the car and the cat still hasn't moved. We didn't sound the car horn but we are both saying, 'come on cat out of the way'.
By now we are perhaps ten metres away and the cat finally starts walking slowly to the side of the road. It is at this point my partner and I notice something floating about four feet off the ground above and slightly behind where the cat had been standing. We are still driving very slowly and are almost on top of this thing, which resembled a kind of greyish blue cloud, a little larger than fist size, a bit irregular in shape. There was depth to the object although it behaved in a somewhat artificial manner (floating but kind of rigid).
I apologise for being a bit vague but it was right about now that both myself and my partner lost control of the direction of which we could see.
It was as if we were not being allowed to view this thing directly. Neither of us had spoken, my eyes had been diverted to the central console just above the radio in the car and my partner's were locked on the steering wheel.
Using my peripheral vision, I watched as the car's windscreen touched the object. It made contact very close to the top of the screen and as it did so, it only slightly lost its shape, hardly noticeable but this did suggest that it was physical and marginally malleable. We only regained the ability to move our eyes and speak when we were almost at the end on the road.
We then turned on to the main road, a short dual carriageway and tried to rationalise what we'd seen and experienced. We didn't experience anything like this again, although some days later we noticed a dead ginger cat on the dual-carriageway.
There is no way to be sure if this was the same cat or that it was linked to what we'd experienced. We didn't experience any missing time that we're aware of.
We often ask ourselves what was it?
How was it able to take control of us? And why hadn't we stopped that car to investigate once we reached the end of the road? Not sure if this was related to what we were seeing in the sky during this time but this area did seem to be something of a hotspot for strange goings on.
We gave this experience the title - 'The cat from another dimension'.
I think the most unnerving part of the encounter was the fact that we both lost control, something took control. Although I must add that we didn't feel any malice. It is one of the strangest, shared experiences we've had.
The experience did remind me of something that happened to me about thirty years ago, where I was unable to look directly at someone who was present during a talk on UFOs.
The talk took place at a spiritualist church over near Church Crookham.
The church videoed the talk and I have a copy which back in those days was recorded on VHS. The lady giving the talk was ex military as I recall and she was sharing an experience of her own which involved a car accident.
The accident was quite severe and she opened her eyes to find an alien (describe as a grey), administering healing.
Accompanying her the night she gave this talk was her assistant, who she introduced and it was this individual that I had trouble focusing on. We took a coffee break and the two of them walked off together. When they came back, the same thing occurred. I remember looking over as they came in the room but then my eyes were diverted.
I can't quite put my finger on it but I did have an uncomfortable feeling about her assistant.
This didn't stop me asking a direct question about cattle mutations, which I'd been reading about at the time. The response to this question was a bit odd. First of all, she had difficulty keeping her hand steady which at the time was holding a cup of coffee and she shakily put it on the saucer and said in a rather offhanded sort of way. 'You like steak, don't you?'
Best regards
