Summary: A man was trying out an old motorcycle on the banks of the Mersey canal and was tinkering with it, when he felt an urge to go relieve himself. As he returned he saw two figures peering over his motorcycle. He shouted at them but was ignored. As the witness approached the pair, he noticed that they wore dark suits with what appeared to be a white collar around the neck. They looked like identical twins and were smiling at the witness in a grotesque manner at the same time stroking the seat of the motorbike in perfect unison. Suddenly all sounds vanished and the witness became disoriented and found himself walking with the two entities towards an object resembling an upturned water tank mounted on girder-like legs that was resting besides the canal. The object had a peculiar red symbol on one side. The figures suddenly vanished in plain sight, and then the red symbol on the craft also vanished. Moments later the object rose silently into the air and at rooftop level suddenly blinked out.

Summary: Melissa Deal Forth was sleeping with her terminally ill husband Chris at a local hospital. Melissa remembers being shaken awake by a frantic nurse who was saying something about not being able to find Chris. Somehow Chris had managed without being seen or heard, to maneuver him and his portable IV pole around her, out of the room and past the nurse’s station. She hit the floor running as she approached the elevator she happened to glance toward the chapel, there she saw Chris sitting with a man she had never seen before. Furious she burst through the door, firing off questions. Chris smiled and said that it was fine. His companion remained quiet, his eyes on the floor as though not wanting to be noticed. He was tall, dressed in a flannel shirt, new jeans, and laced up work boots that appeared as if they, too, had just been taken off the shelf. The stranger had no wrinkles, his skin was perfectly smooth and pale, white skin, and ice blue eyes. The type of blue eyes the witness had never seen on a human before. Chris seemed to want to be left alone and so she reluctantly agreed to leave. When he came back to the room he was vibrant and smiling. When asked who the stranger had been he replied that he had been an angel a guardian angel. She searched the hospital but could not find the man. And security had not seen anybody leave or come in. Chris died 2 days later.

Suddenly both beings began floating very fast towards each other, now a third being appeared from behind a pile of debris and also began floating very fast towards the other two. The beings converged to a spot near a dirt road. All three were real close together when suddenly they changed into a profusion of light and shot away at an angle skywards disappearing into the cloud cover.

Time: evening
Summary: The witness was walking alongside a disused network of canals, when he soon caught sight of an elongated mirror like object in the sky above him, which suddenly blinked out. He continued walking then noticed two figures standing on a grassy area to his right. They spoke to him in a sort of mechanical monotone unlike robots. They spoke English, and invited the witness on an unspecified journey, but he declined. They insisted but he still declined. The figures then turned and silently glided away over the grass, like skaters, and faded from view. The figures were described as 5’5″ in height, good looking with dark curly hair, with a composite of features of racial types, blue eyes, high cheekbones, white complexioned and both identical. They were muscular and wore tight fitting gray one-piece suits with a luminous logo on the top corner chest area. When they spoke they spoke in unison.
