Lightning Ridge, New South
Wales, August 31, 2002.
First Interview conducted by
Bruce Cuming Tuesday 24th September, 2002. This case is still
under investigation.
J. went to bed Saturday night
August 31, 2002. She woke up at 1.30am to go to the bathroom.
She heard her puppy barking quite loudly, differently to what
she had heard it do before. She got up, got her torch, went to
the door and shone it outside to where the dog was barking and
saw a being described as quite tall, very thin, very long
legs, and about 8 feet tall. It’s approximate body length
alone (torso) was 4 ½ feet. The head was very dark and she did
not see it’s eyes at first. She didn’t recall seeing any arms
either. It’s head was an inverted triangular shape and this
shape was very distinctive. The being seemed to be dressed in
a wet suit material that was dark grey with khaki stripes When
she initially shone the torch on the being she did not notice
it’s eyes but she did later when she went to come inside and
saw they were really brilliant.
J. called her husband to come
and have a look at what she was seeing, which he wouldn’t do,
so she went to go inside to get him out of bed. As she did so
the beings’ eyes flashed at her and she described it’s eyes as
being brilliant green and approximately 2 inches in diameter.
She said if diamonds were green this would be what they would
look like. She went inside to get her husband, who still
refused to come out and when she returned to the door the
being was not there. She again shone the torch around until
she found it sitting on an old ute parked on the property
about 15 yards away. All she could see at the time were the
creature's brilliant green eyes. When she first saw the being
the hairs on her arms stood up. She was quite speechless and
shocked but she was not scared. She did not see anything in
the sky at the time.
The next morning, Sunday
September 1, a friend rang and asked if she would go to
collect his son and bring him back to J’s place by 6 pm so he
could call him as he wanted to speak to him on Father’s day.
While doing so she was told by others they had been watching a
flying saucer on the evening of Friday 30th at about 8.30pm,
the night before J’s experience.
J. wasn’t game to speak to
anyone about her experience "in case they thought she was
looney." The area around J’s property has a lot of trees.
Upon further questioning it was
revealed that J. and her children have had UFO sightings and
strange encounters before this incident. They are reported as
follows:
#1 J. had a sighting 34 years
ago while living at Labrador. Her son’s birthday party was
being held in the back yard in the evening. It was very dark
and she saw a metal cone-shaped object flying across the sky
with a huge orangey-red flame coming out the back. Another one
came up behind it and went straight past it. The object was
easily travelling at 700 mph.
#2 While living at Acacia Ridge
J’s son came inside, covered in mud and screaming that he had
seen something. At the time she didn’t know what to make of
this incident. A couple of days later she read a story in the
Courier Mail of a man who had seen something land near the
Dam. She knew her son used to go there all the time. Her son
later told her he saw something land as he walked over a hill
and the whole time a light was flashing above his head. The
same son had seen something at (Windsor?) years ago. This son
always refers to himself an alien.
#3 Four years ago, while living
at Boonah, J. was coming outside to go to the toilet and she
saw a woman with blond hair sitting close by. She had never
seen her before in her life. The woman put her hand out and
grabbed J’s hand as she walked by. As she did so she said to
J., "I’ve been waiting for you, you should have been here
three times before and you didn’t turn up." This was true as
J. had been going to leave the Gold Coast three times before
but didn’t. Then the woman told J. about J’s whole life from
when she was a little girl. The woman said, "tell your
children to move to the other side of the range as there is
going to be a tidal wave and it’s going to wipe out the whole
of the coast."
J. states that she always knows
when there’s an earthquake or tidal wave. Two nights before
this interview she said to her husband "there is an earthquake
or something". The next day she heard on the news there had
been an earthquake in England. Lately she has had a feeling
that something really bad is going to happen.
