Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: THE VENUSIANS COME TO ENGLAND
During the course of my nearly 40 years’ research into contact cases, I have come across a number of accounts involving encounters with extraterrestrials whose alleged origin is Venus. Some of these accounts have never been published, such as the following, which was incorporated in a manuscript given to me by the pioneering researcher Tony Wedd, a former Royal Air Force flying instructor, designer and artist who taught me much about this arcane subject.
Early one Sunday morning in November 1957, newsagent Hubert Lewis was cycling to the town of Church Stretton in Shropshire to collect newspapers. It was miserably cold, dark, wet and windy, and he was cursing and swearing at his lot in life. ‘I was really browned off,’ he told Wedd. All at once in the half- light a tall figure appeared in the road in front of him. Hovering to Lewis’s right was a large object of ‘a dull lightness’, which seemed to rotate, although part of it was still.
Replying to Lewis’s question as to who he was and whence he sprang, the stranger answered that there was no need to be alarmed. ‘I must admit the whole circumstance at first did scare me,’ said Lewis. ‘I also remember noticing how the wind had dropped, although I could still hear it, but from away from us, and around us.’
The phenomenon of localized silence has occurred in many close encounter cases, such as that claimed by the Italian engineer Gianpietro Monguzzi, who together with his wife witnessed a landed UFO and its occupant in July 1952 on the Cherchen Glacier in the Italian Alps; he succeeded in obtaining several remarkable (and generally discredited) photographs before it flew off. As in Lewis’s encounter, a howling gale suddenly subsided, and all became silent during the landing.
Lewis continued:
My visitor spoke quite clear English, but with a slight lisp it appeared, and he first rebuked me for my language, pointing out that everybody on this earth had troubles and difficulties to face, and that this life is merely a probationary period for a further life after. He knew of my difficulties and troubles; he spoke of my previous employment, and mentioned names of people whom I had once known Lewis estimated that the conversation lasted nearly 30 minutes, during which time the circular object, thought to be about 60 to 100 feet in diameter, hovered above him and to the right, approximately 100 feet away. A slight whistling sound emanated from it. The stranger gave no indication of his origin at this stage, but was ‘kindly, understanding and gentle’. The tone of the conversation then became somewhat more didactic, as Lewis was treated to the Sunday- morning sermon of his life.
He told me I had nothing to fear in the future from any evil. If I would only keep calm and faithful, all would be well. He promised I should be looked after and guided along the right path if I kept faith. My [deceased] sons and my wife were still with me in spirit, as were my friends (he mentioned one whom I had forgotten, of forty years ago) . . . He wished me well, then suddenly vanished, just like that. Here I would like to add that this did puzzle me until Mr Cooke [James Cooke, a contemporary English contacted] gave me the answer, and that was that my visitor was projected before me but was really away from me, possibly in the machine; and this could be what happened
