DECEMBER 1965, BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS, U-K., A YOUNG MAN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

BUFORA reportedly recorded that in Birmingham, England, in December 1965 at night, a young man was returning home after dark along a lane on the outskirts of the city after an evening spent with his girlfriend.

He had not drunk alcohol and was in perfectly happy and normal state of mind.

Suddenly, he looked around to find that he was being followed by something he described adamantly as a luminous man of normal size emitting a green glow from head to foot.

His immediate reaction was of disbelief fear and then panic, he ran to his home, which was nearby, as fast as he could. When he arrived there in a sweat of fear, his mother would not believe his story, but she did in fact peer out of the window and admits seeing a green glow coming from behind nearby bushes. In spite of this she still found her son's story incredible.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Birmingham, England, in December 1965 at night, a young man was returning home, after dark, along a lane on the outskirts of Birmingham after an evening spent with his girl friend. He had not partaken of anything alcoholic and was in perfectly happy and normal state of mind. Suddenly he looked around to find that he was being followed by something he describes quite adamantly as a luminous man emitting a green glow from head to foot. His immediate reaction was of disbelief fear and then panic, he ran to his home, which was nearby, as fast as he could. When he arrived there in a sweat of fear, his mother would not believe his story, but she did in fact peer out of the window and admits seeing a green glow coming from behind nearby bushes. In spite of this she still found her son's story incredible. The witness stated that the figure was that of a man of normal size.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Charles Bowen quoting BUFORA in FSR.
