True story

your views wanted.

about 20yrs ago i was taking my girl friend home on
my triumph t110, it was a star less night in november
the road was a typical english b road full of twists
and turns, about 10 mins into the journey we both
noticed that we had someone following us, it was
a single light so we automaticaly assumed it was
another biker, for about 5 mins the light seemed
to keep a constant distance behind but quite suddenly
it was right behind us, thinking that it might be
a mate wanting a bit of company we started to
speed up for a bit of fun this lasted for 2 to 3 mins
when suddenly there was a bright flash and my bike
cut out and the lights went out, well doing about 60
with no lights is not fun but by pure luck we stoped
without crashing, after a long wait we got a lift
to my girl friends house, having left my bike in feild
gateway, after we recovered the bike it was found
that the battery was dead and would not take a charge
and both spark plugs had no earth electrodes left
and latter the ht leads were arcing and had to be
replaced also the back of my girl friends leather
jacket had a dull oval mark on it that never did
polish out. i have never found an explanation for
what happened and apart from the people dirrectly
involved not talked about it.

 

i think you can understand that we were both in shock
i dont know how long it was between the flash and
the bike comming to a stop, we were in total darkness
i couldnt even see my girl freind standing next to me.
maybe it was 10 mins after the flash that we actualy
spoke to each other, but the light must have gone
very soon after the flash, we kept all this quiet
as her mom and dad were against motorbikes and an
incident like this could have stoped me seeing my
girl.

 

the ligh seemed like an ordinary head light but did not
show a beam when going round bends, when it was close
to us my girl freind," shouted go" i think we both got
spooked at the same time, we did talk about it quite
often but we could never agree on the events after she
shouted go, its hard to put into words the sensation
fear, loud engine noise ,light ,then total quite, dark, only
the sense of motion, when the bike came to a standstill
it was like total sensory deprevation, if it wasnt for
the feel of the bike it would have been, we both felt
total exhausted, i think it was when ann slumped
against me that i started to think again and asked
her if she was ok.

 

the bike was a complete rebuild 3 month prior to the
incident, every penny i had went into it and it was
sweet, it always started first or second kick, the
battery was new at the time of rebuild, i think it
had about 1000 mls on the clock at the time of the
incident, the engine was unmodified but put together
with love and care, with no signs of oil leaks," an
acheivement on a british bike of that era", i had
a weekly service for the bike, tyres ,chain,cables,
oil,tappets, plugs, batt level,wheel brgs,etc.
apart from ann that bike had every spare second
of my time, after replacing the batt, plugs, ht
leads she ran for over 6 yrs without a hiccup, her
end came when she went thrugh a hedge and hit a
barn, along with my relationship with ann. but the
incident happened we had everything to loose and
nothing to gain.

 

ANNs jacket was black leather, it wasnt so much as a
stain, it was just a dull area that would not pollish
out.
i have had 20yrs to think about this event and can
think of nothing to explain it, ann and myself had
an unbreakable bond after the event, untill we
were forced to part.

 

thanks for listening IVAN,
i look at the S and D threads to see if anything matches
my "event", but no matches so far, i suppose that is
to be expected as it sounds far fetched when i read
it, but i have my memory of the event and it never
fades.

 

its been a long time ivan but ,i never throw anything
away i will search the garage as im sure the s plugs
are still there.

 

Oh that would be great. Please let me know if you ever spot them or any other hardware from that night. There still might be traces of something useful; and I am sure that in addition to me, a lot of other researchers would like to see those plugs.

BTW, as a wild guess, I think you might have run into something much like the objects described in the Iran event and at Bentwaters; as discussed in the "Why skeptics fear UFOs" thread. The implication of related effects on the motorcycle could mean that a highly energetic EM event took place. I also speculate [wildly] that if true, this EM event could relate to your sense of fatigue afterwards.

Lastly, unless you object, I will assume that you can account for all of your time that evening...that no missing time is involved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ivan i can not see a connection with the Iran event, as for
a highly energetic EM event well yes i can see a connection
but i would be very skeptical of a UFO involvment.
also i dont see the connection with our fatigue.
missing time? im not sure what you are asking.

 

i dont know what to say IVAN, talking to an "outsider", after
all this time who has knowledge of this type of event is
un nerving, from the very start we kept it quiet for the
reasons stated befor, and i suppose most people would think
we were loonies, i have always thought a freak of nature
caused the event, but reading your last post has me trying
to remember things in more detail without embelishing it
with half truths, i can only admit that things seemed
different after the event but i dont know why, after the
event my life was ann, motorbike, nothing else mattered,
this selfish way only ended as described ealier.
i have a mamouth task in clearing years of junk to find
plugs but i look forward to showing them to an expert.

you have reminded me im getting OLDER thanks IVAN
