NOVEMBER 20, 1965, COLSHAM, SURREY, U-K., FOUR MEN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

A Spanish book about the "contactees" reportedly told that in Colsham, England, on November 20, 1965, at 0230A, four men, all members of a local rock band, were traveling by car through this village when they noticed something strange on the roadway ahead.

It was a huge man-like figure that seemed to glide just above the pavement while emitting a pale white light. All panicked and yelled at the top of their lungs, and they drove away fast.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Colsham, England, on November 20, 1965, at 0230A, four men, all members of a local "rock band" were traveling by car through the village when they noticed something strange on the roadway ahead. It was a huge man-like figure that seemed to glide just above the pavement while emitting a pale white light. All the witnesses panicked and began yelling at the top of their lungs. They then drove away from the area at high speed.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Salvador Freixedo, Los Contactados.

Points to consider:

El Salvador Freixedo is a Spanish catholic priest born in 1923, who had to quit his function for having criticized the Church, and wrote books on marriage, the devil, the appearances of the blessed virgin, parapsychology and UFOs.
