Alan Godfrey a policeman from Todmorden West Yorkshire (UK) experienced a number of unusual incidents that could be interconnected. Although his abduction incident while on patrol is the “central story” there are some incidents surrounding his case that seem interconnected. Alan Godfrey did not chose to be abducted but the disclosure of his case in the press and his connection to a previous unusual case he was involved in finally cost him his career.

Mysterious Death Case Prior to the Abduction

A few months before his UFO encounter Godfrey was involved in a mysterious case. In the afternoon (3:45 pm) of the 11th of June of 1980 a dead body was found (later identified as Zegmund Adamski, been missing 5 days and lived in a village at a distance of about 30 km from the site) on the top of a 4 meter high coal heap. Godfrey was called in to investigate the case. The body was lying on its back, and looked like it had been dressed by someone else as the jacket had been fastened unevenly; the shirt was missing and the shoes had not been tied properly. It was validated that the body had not been there before 1:30 pm as people were working in the area. Also there were no trails that could explain how the body got there. It was as if the body had been dropped from above.

Things became even more puzzling when the body was examined by the forensic doctor. Zegmund Adamski appeared to had died from a heart attack 8 hours before he was found (possibly from experiencing something frightening); his body carried strange burn marks and a strange substance was found on the back of his neck. It was concluded that the he had died before being placed on the top of the coal heap. Most importantly, the analysis showed that the substance found on the back of Adamski´s neck could not be identified with something known on Earth.

Taking all these facts into considering and bearing in mind that the UK was experiencing a wave of UFO incidents could it be that Zegmund Adamski was abducted, died and left on the top of the coal heap by the aliens?

The Abduction

A few months after the Adamski case, Alan Godfrey would have his own UFO experience. In the early morning (5 am) of the 28th of November 1980, he was on duty. He was investigating a case of a missing herd of cows. Locals had reported the disappearance of his cattle. It seemed to had vanished without leaving any trace on the ground. This was not a one-off incident as the same herd of cows had disappeared and reappeared a number of times.

That morning, while on patrol in his police car he saw a bright light on the road ahead of him. When he approached at a distance of about 15 meters and stopped he was able to see a diamond-shaped craft hovering in silence about 1.5 meters from the ground. The bottom part of the craft rotated anticlockwise while the top part that looked liked a row of windows was stationary. The object had a height of over 4-4.5 meters and a width of 6 meters. The UFO appeared to create some kind of wind or force field as the nearby trees shook but did not generate any noise nor heat. Godfrey tried to communicate to police headquarters through his radio communication devices but nothing worked.Staying in the car he grabbed his notebook and made a sketch of the craft.

Next thing he remembers is holding the car’s steering wheel and being a few meters (15 to 25) further down the road from where he experienced the craft. He drove back to where he had seen the craft. Although the road was wet from the rain earlier in the day the are over which they craft had been hovering was completely dry. He could not account for some time. Alan looked at his watch and realised that he could not account for 20 to 30 minutes. He also felt an irritating itch on his left foot. Furthermore he noticed that his left boot had split.

The same night he returned back to the scene accompanied by three police officers to survey the site of the incident. They entered a fenced park by unlocking the gate and in there they found the herd of cows. How did the herd enter the park if it was fenced and locked? Furthermore there were no trails in the ground. The mystery could not be solved. Was this associated with the UFO he had seen a few hours back?

Godfrey Shares His Story

The night of the incident Godfrey shared his experience with his fellow police officers. He also found out that civilians and 5 police officers had reported seeing unusual lights that same night in the region and neighboring areas. As police procedure demanded he filed an official report and with time everything returned to normal.

About a year after the incident a journalist noticed the Alan Godfrey was the same person involved in the Adamksi case and the UFO case. A story was published in a national newspaper suggesting that he was a victim of an alien abduction. All this impacted both Godfrey´s personal and professional life. He was not taken seriously at work and his superiors did whatever they could to make him resign.

Remembering Abduction Details During Hypnosis

About a year after the incident Alan Godfrey agreed to have a hypnosis to remember what had happened during the missing time period. During the hypnosis, it was revealed that Godfrey came out of his patrol car and a beam of light was shot at him from the craft. In a state of panic he went back in to the car and fell unconscious. While in a blackout state he remembered having a floating feeling as if he was being transported somewhere.

At waking up he found himself, in an examination room with a human-looking person standing in front of hims. The person had a pleasant appearance, was about 2 meters tall, had a beard and wore a white gown. Godfrey was asked though telepathy to lie on the examination table. Once on the bed about 8 short beings (about 1 meter tall) with light bulb-shaped heads and large black eyes approached the examination table.

Godfrey never got to find out how the abduction ended as the hypnosis was stopped because he experienced a lot of stress. An important detail he did remember though was having his left foot examined and being wired to machines. Also he was able to back up his testimony under hypnosis by the fact that the night of the incident and when returning to the police station he noticed that his left boot was torn and he had a mark on his foot.

Did Aliens Help Godfrey Recover his Health?

Three years before the abduction incident Alan Godfrey had been beaten-up by three suspects while trying to arrest them. Doctors had to remove one of his testicles. As a consequence of all this, he became sterile and could not have sexual relationships with his wife. A few months later while he and his wife were asleep a strange sound filled the room. His wife woke up but Alan seemed to be in deep sleep. The next morning it was as if he was cured. Next morning, they were able to make love and after a few weeks she was pregnant. Doctors also verified that he was miraculously cured.

Years later, when the UFO incident happened while listening to the video recording of Godfrey´s hypnotic regression she found similarities between a sound described by him while being examined by the aliens and the sound she heard that night. After that, the couple was convinced that the aliens had something to do with his Alan´s recovery.
