Case description

Two people travelling by car near Sproston Green, Cheshire, reported an encounter in June 1980, at about 11 p.m. Their attention was first drawn to brilliant lights nearby. Two figures then approached the vehicle, moving in a way the witnesses described as gliding rather than walking. The figures were estimated to be seven feet tall. The account describes communication without ordinary speech and an intense struggle of wills between the people and the approaching figures. The surviving digest does not preserve the content of the communication or say how either witness responded physically. The published source chain leads to Jenny Randles's Alien Abductions. Its short catalogue abstract does not supply the participants' names, a description of a craft interior or the final separation. It therefore preserves an encounter with lights, two tall figures and a perceived mental interaction, while the rest of the reported sequence remains unspecified.
