I saw a post from Roberto earlier this year so I thought I'd "come out the closet" so to speak too. (Hello Roberto, I also live in Armidale).
A couple of days ago I watched the special features on my Communion DVD, namely the commentary version of the movie with director Philippe Mora and William Birnes. For years it sat there and I don't know why I didn't take a look at it. It was very interesting and reminded me of quite a few things.
My mother had the book when I was young in our library at home, and I was always drawn to it. I would get out tracing paper and draw the classic almond-shaped-eyed grey alien that was on the back cover of the book.
I've never spoken of it before, but when I was about 5 years old I had very vivid "dreams" of beings taking me to a large shopping plaza, Penrith Plaza west of Sydney where I lived at the time. These experiences never frightened me; I just pondered on them. I recall being able to move my head around and look, but I could not move or get up. They were tall, about 9 foot, dressed in black, and I called them "the bodies" because they would not reveal their faces to me. They either had hoods on or for some reason wouldn't allow me to look at them in the face. The one in the middle of the group of about 10 of them (I was laying on my back) would reach down and gently feel my neck. I remember the hands were sort of human. Long, bony fingers and cold and sort of clammy. I would always "wake up" after that. To this day I have a strange anomaly with my neck. As a very young teenager I thought what the heck, I'll mention this "neck thing" to the doctor. I was examined and the doctor said a part of the anatomy of my neck was in a very unusual place. I can't recall what the doctor said it was, the part of my neck, and never spoke of it again.
Also as a young teenager I was travelling in a bus on my way to visit a friend who moved away from a small country town in Queensland and when the bus was passing through Rockhampton, I saw an enormous circular-shaped disc with bright lights. I couldn't explain what it was; I didn't have the words for it. I stood up in the bus and asked, "is that a UFO?" but nobody answered. Everyone was silent. It was almost like I was the only person in the bus. It was a very weird experience!
When I was about 17 I was living on the Northern Tablelands in NSW I had another "dream" about the beings. I had the very strong impression they were telepathically communicating among themselves, then sent the message to me, which was almost like a friendly goodbye. And I have never had those "dreams" since.
When I was in my early 20's I saw a large, black, cigar-shaped object flying around from the lounge-room window. It had no windows or anything, no lights, and was silent. It maneuvered in ways that our aircraft cannot, such as flying sideways and almost instantaneously flying in the opposite direction. It wasn't a plane, a helicopter, or anything I can explain.
During 2010 I was living in a very tiny country town in Queensland with my elderly father and we both saw flying craft nearly every day when the conditions were right. The craft looked like stars, were bright, and flying way out in our solar system. Sometimes they would circle around as if circling a few planets including Earth, and sometimes they would head in a specific direction, with other craft following. They flew incredibly fast. I wondered if it was a hallucination at first, but since my father saw them too and we would regularly go out and watch them I thought, is it possible for two people to have exactly the same hallucinations at the exactly the same time?
I also recall a brief conversation with my mother at some time, in my mid-20's I think, and for some reason the subject came up about being very alone in the world, and I am talking about you being the only person that exists and the world is just a huge joke or trick. We laughed about it and we found we both had similar sensations like that when we were very young. My mother and I were very close, and kept things like this to ourselves. We were both quiet, introspective sort of people. A few people think I'm a little odd because apparently I have Asperger's Syndrome.
Well, I've rambled on enough for now. Those are my experiences as a way of introducing myself. I have a feeling there's more, but can't quite "get it out." Anyway, it's interesting to be here. I hope everyone has a good Christmas and New Year.
Cheers from "Down Under."
