Close Encounters on the A5
A Mum who insists she was abducted by aliens on the A5 said yesterday: “I knew they would be back.”
Rosemary Hawkins, 53, recalled her close encounter on the Shropshire road after we reported a spate of new UFO sightings in the area.
She was returning from a June night out with two pals 27 years ago when their car was enveloped by a bright light they believe was a spacecraft.
They made statements to police then told separately under hypnosis how they had seen 4ft aliens dressed in green who spoke with gruff robotic-like voices.
Rosemary, Valerie Walters and Viv Hayward, all in their late-20s at the time, were heading home to Telford from a Shrewsbury disco where they only drank cola.
It was around 2am and Viv was driving her Avenger saloon when they spotted hovering lights near the hamlet of Atcham.
Mum-of-three Rosemary recalled: “The lights became blinding. It became obvious we were looking at a UFO. It followed us along the road. We were very frightened.
"Viv tried putting her foot down but it was as if the brakes were on. Then the lights dipped and the craft disappeared.”
Lightyears ago ... Valerie and Rosemary back then
They drove straight to Telford police station to report their “out of body” experience. But a journey that should have taken them 20 minutes took an extra half hour. The women were convinced during the lost 30 minutes they were held, unharmed, on a UFO. They later agreed to be hypnotised and gave chillingly similar accounts — even scrawling near identical drawings.
Expert Harold Harris said at the time: “I’ve no doubt this UFO existed.”
And police chief Norman Collinson said: “I’m satisfied this is not a hoax.” Archives show Rosemary said: “Bright lights. White tinged with yellow and red. So strange it’s there. No sound. I am floating and I’m not in the car any more with Viv or Val. I feel big and bloated.
“There’s something coming. It’s metal. It doesn’t walk — it sort of rolls on wheels. It’s about 4ft tall, round on the top with a round body and round legs. "It’s looking at me, there’s more coming. It’s the same noise. They haven’t got a face. Their heads move up and down that’s how I know they are talking. They don’t seem to be nasty.” Later she added: “I’m floating again. I’m in the car now. Val and Viv are there with me. Viv’s got her foot down hard on the accelerator. We are trying to get away from it.”
Viv subsequently emigrated to Canada. But Rosemary and Val are still in touch. Val, now 52, told under hypnosis how she had seen a “female alien”.
Report ... the girls’ story
The mum of two said last night: “I said I’d seen a woman-like creature dressed in long green robes.
“The creatures kept feeling my clothes and hair. I wasn’t afraid of them but was frightened of what was happening. The aliens spoke in monotone deep robotic voices.”Yesterday The Sun told how soldiers recently spotted a fleet of 13 UFOs over Tern Hill Barracks near Market Drayton, Shrops.
Three hours later two cabaret singers claimed they were pursued by a light in the sky on the A5. Rosemary added: “The new sightings don’t surprise me. I’ve always known there is something out there which we cannot explain.”
