Original subtitles

- This the alien being that I call mum.

It's adopted me basically.

It's crazy, isn't it?

But there you go.

- [Voiceover] Flying saucers have invaded our planet.

Washington, London, Moscow are key targets.

The whole world is under attack.

Can it survive?

- [Voiceover] Flying saucers and beings from outer space

have always been regarded as a fantasy from

1950s B-movies.

- [Voiceover] The Angry Red Planet.

- [Voiceover] But last year, the MOD released

previously unseen documents relating to credible

witnesses claiming to have seen UFOs.

- Reports from pilots, from police officers,

and from military personnel.

A lot of people think that the Ministry of Defense

are actually hiding information on this subject.

And a phrase that you often hear,

is all the good stuff's been kept back.

- [Voiceover] 10% of us believe we've seen a UFO,

and a reported thousand Brits a year

think they've been abducted by aliens.

Now, a special support group has been set up

helping the growing number of abductees

across the UK.

- We're just trying to help those

who've been through this,

and find out what is going on for humanity

what does this mean?

- [Voiceover] So, who are these people?

And how does it affect them?

- I'm all trembling.

- [Voiceover] Why is that?

- I think it's just fear

of being taken.

- [Voiceover] What happens when they're abducted?

- I have seen them appear in my room,

and then you are just taken,

and you go up.

- [Voiceover] And why do they think

they've been chosen?

- [Voiceover] Do you think you'll find the answer?

- I think I'm getting very close, yeah.

(dramatic music)

- [Voiceover] Just outside Heathrow Airport,

is the technical base of a unique support group.

Called AMMACH, it's the only British helpline for

people who believe they've been abducted by aliens.

- We've come together to form A.M.M.A.C.H.

which stands for Anomalous Mind Management

and Abductee Contactee Helpline.

It's the only resource that we know of

in the UK that provides a sympathetic ear,

and a port of call to those who are having

extraordinary experiences.

- [Voiceover] The number of members AMMACH are helping

is constantly increasing.

- When they used to come to me,

they used to come in this energy of light,

and they would come through the windows.

I'm now doing this because I think it's time,

that others need to hear what has been going on.

- [Voiceover] The support group is run by two colleagues.

Ex-broadcast engineer, Miles,

and trained therapist, Joanne.

- I mean, I've been doing UFO research since

I've been knee high to a grasshopper.

Mostly in the last 25-30 years.

- I trained as a therapist, myself.

And then I began meeting people who

were clearly incredibly bright,

but were having these experiences who

we didn't have a name for it properly.

- [Voiceover] Self-financed, they have received

hundreds of phone calls to their special hotline,

with more coming in every week.

- Hello AMMACH.

- [Voiceover] There are strange little people

going around in very old cars.

And he had an eye patch and a black suit.

- [Voiceover] Miles and Joanne also offer counseling

to abductees,

and post their sessions online to raise awareness.

- He didn't have any eyes and he didn't have any mouth.

So, I was talking to him like telepathically.

All my life I've been ridiculed,

so I've kept experiences to myself.

- A lot of people have never spoken

publicly before, ever, about their experiences.

A lot of them have experienced ridicule,

vilification, isolation.

And these are terrible things.

And that's besides what they've been going through.

- [Voiceover] Many abductees face skepticism

from the public.

- [Voiceover] And what do you think,

do you think they're making it up?

- One of the things we're looking for

is being conned and being made into a bunch

of lunatics who believe in aliens.

I don't believe in anything.

I don't even believe in religion.

What we look at is information.

- [Voiceover] And this information is provided

to AMMACH by abductees from all corners

of the UK.

Whitby, in northeast England,

an important council meeting is in progress.

- And one of the things that we were really

hoping to do would be to see if Scarborough

Borough Council would transfer the cemetery to us.

- [Voiceover] It's chaired by 53 year old Simon Parkes,

who's been the local Labor councilor there since last year.

He also works as a driving instructor.

- Follow the road round.

Bears round to the right.

He'll wait for you, he'll see you.

He'll wait for you as well, that's fine.

And you go.

- [Voiceover] But when he does have some time off,

he likes to go to his attic where he keeps

a very special family album.

- This is the alien being that I call mum.

Now, it clearly isn't my mother because I'm human,

but in my mind it got me to be convinced

that it was my mother.

If you can imagine this alien being has adopted me,

and so I refer to it as mum.

- [Voiceover] So, how often do you see your mum?

- Oh I would say probably once a month,

twice a month, depending.

And what will happen is that we will hold hands,

and I'll say I'm ready,

and then, the technology that I do not understand,

then you are just taken,

and you go up.

Like straight up to a craft orbiting the Earth.

- [Voiceover] But having an alien mum,

isn't Simon's only close encounter.

- That is the being that I claim to have

sexual relations with.

So, I don't have a name.

All I refer to her is the Cat Queen.

- [Voiceover] So, you have sex with her?

- [Simon] Yes.

- [Voiceover] How often?

- I don't remember all of it.

Probably four times a year,

something like that.

- [Voiceover] So, do you have any alien children?

- You're looking at one here.

This is the name Zarka.

- [Voiceover] So, that's your child?

- Well, yeah it's crazy, isn't it?

But there you go.

- [Voiceover] Simon's encounters with his alien lover

have caused problems with his Earth wife,

who has asked not to be filmed.

- My wife

found about it, and she's very unhappy.

Clearly.

That caused a few problems.

- [Voiceover] Why, was she jealous?

- Yes.

But it's not on a human level,

so I don't see it as wrong.

- [Voiceover] What do you say to some people

who might say, "Oh, you're mad"?

- Yeah, I'd say I can understand how you would say that

because you've not seen anything yourself,

and that's your immediate fall back position.

But you come and spend some time with me,

you follow me around for a day,

and you'll actually walk away shaking you head

because you'll think, well he's actually not mad.

- [Voiceover] Many of the people who say they are abducted

every year find it very distressing.

Support group AMMACH, see their role as listening,

and helping these people understand their experiences.

- It's really still impacting you ,isn't it, Jason?

I can see that you're getting quite emotional, there.

This changes you.

You can never be the same person again.

Because your mental framework is completely

reorientated.

- [Voiceover] The AMMACH project.

- [Voiceover] Someone who's been struggling

to deal with her abductions is 49 year old housewife,

Chantelle.

- Ah, she's an amazing lady, I have to say,

and she's been through such a tough time,

my goodness me.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle is believed to be the most

abducted person in Britain,

with countless reported encounters with aliens.

- Well, a bit further up.

Yeah, this street, isn't it?

- [Voiceover] One of Chantelle's most vivid abductions

occurred whilst with her 24 year old son, Dominic,

outside her local shop.

- We got to about here, didn't we Doms?

We got to about here.

There were me, Kath, and Dominic walking

along to shop.

Katherine noticed it first,

she looked up into sky,

and she says what's that?

And I looked up.

It were triangle,

with all different color lights all underneath,

pink cerise, neon blue, white, purple.

And she says what's that, and when I seen it

I knew straight away what it were,

and I thought oh no.

And she says, "What?"

I says, get ready we're gonna be taken.

'Cause I already knew what it was, like.

And it were just about that chimney there.

- [Voiceover] Just there?

- Yeah.

They float out of craft.

They floated down out of the craft.

And that's all I can remember.

We didn't get to shop

'cause they took us up,

and before we knew it we quite remember

walking back home.

We were put more or less outside the front door.

Just turning key in door.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle and Dominic live in a flat

overlooking a green.

They claim aliens often come to visit them here.

Chantelle recognizes them as a type

UFO experts call, Grays.

- When the Grays come to take me,

they wear black clothing.

They wear a black polo neck jumper

what comes right up to chin.

- [Voiceover] Yeah.

- They wear black trousers,

and a black blazer jacket.

Like they're wearing a suit, but without the shirt.

They don't wear

I've never noticed them in all these all in one

jumpsuits, or whatever they call them.

All in one suits.

- [Voiceover] But Grays aren't your normal

run of the mill aliens,

they appear to have a sense of humor.

They're moving things, trying to send

me bonkers, actually.

- [Voiceover] What was moving?

- Ornaments, everything.

They moved me fags, my cigarettes.

- [Voiceover] No.

- They did.

I put 'em on there, and they moved my cigarettes.

I looked for 'em I couldn't find them.

Just walked out there and thought I hadn't

put them there,

and I come back and they were there again.

They were moving things.

They'd hid them behind here.

This is what they do sometimes

before they take you.

They like to play tricks.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle claims she's been having

these experiences since she was born,

but now her patience is wearing thin.

- There is times I want it to stop.

You know, I get to point sometimes where

well, it's not like I've had enough or like that

I just want it to stop.

Just so I can just go on out there

and living a normal life

- [Voiceover] Some Chinese residents are on edge

this morning after another apparent UFO sighting.

- [Voiceover] More and more evidence is coming out

to suggest that we might not be alone.

25% of British people now believe extraterrestrials

may have visited Earth.

- [Voiceover] Are we alone?

- I'm convinced there's life out there,

as to whether any of it's coming down here,

the politician's answer, I can't rule it out.

There's material there that certainly

makes me think twice.

It's not all misidentifications of aircraft, lights,

and weather balloons.

- [Voiceover] What's more, an increasing number

of people are reportedly being abducted by aliens.

So, a British support group called AMMACH,

has been set up to help people come to terms

with their trauma.

- So, can I just ask you, just for clarification,

when you say you would be taken out through

the window, were you a very tiny child?

Do you remember that time?

- Yes.

I'd probably be just about a toddler,

and I just basically

lived in terrible fear.

- [Voiceover] AMMACH believe it's important

these abductees are not alone.

So, they organize conferences for their

support group members.

Their third one is being held in Nottingham.

- Roy, Roy!

Sorry.

(laughs)

This probably is, as someone said to me,

you're the biggest gathering in the UK

of experiences.

- I want to meet other witnesses.

I think it's really important that we all

talk to each other.

And we're sharing our stories,

and we're finding our commonalities,

and more importantly we're finding friends.

And that we're not mad,

we're not alone.

- They can read your thoughts,

and they can also make you think things,

and give you images.

- [Voiceover] Over a hundred experiencers have

gathered to listen to each other's stories

and compare evidence.

Many abductees believe they've had implants

put in their body by aliens.

- And the picture on the top left

is the male reproductive implant site.

They

stabbed me with a large hypodermic syringe.

(applause)

- [Voiceover] One of the speakers is 52 year old

Marie,

who says she's been having experiences with other beings

since the age of three.

- This ship came over from behind

Normally, I see things out that way because

I'm on the fourth floor, so I've got a good view.

And it came out to about here

so I could see it, looked up,

and it was a huge triangular craft.

- [Voiceover] Marie lives in a flat in Kensington, London,

and works from home as a freelance accountant.

Worked for fashion companies.

I had a job once for a private billionaire

that was quite good.

I was his private accountant.

- [Voiceover] It's in this flat,

that she says spacecraft come to take her.

- I remember this big huge ball just came in,

and it floated down to probably about here,

and I just saw three faces in this ball.

- [Voiceover] As well as seeing ships,

Marie believes alien implants have been

put in her body.

- Well, I got the one in my arm.

I mean, it's not attached or anything,

it's not sore.

- [Voiceover] Abductees believe these are advanced

technological devices that emit radio waves.

- That's it there.

You can see a slit in my eye here,

and this silver, it's like a little V thing,

there, going in.

- [Voiceover] Marie has decided to go and see

the technology expert of AMMACH,

Miles Johnston,

to check if she really does have alien implants.

- [Marie] Hello, Miles.

- Welcome, good to see you.

- Hi, nice to see you.

- Good to see you.

- Welcome to the super--

- Thank you.

- [Voiceover] An ex-broadcast engineer,

Miles has all the latest equipment for the job.

- [Voiceover] Why would aliens put implants in people?

- Well, we put implants into people to study their

biological makeup, or what they eat.

So, logically if another species wanted to do it to us,

then they would put implants in us

to track us.

- [Voiceover] First, he checks for any magnetic fields

in Marie's brain.

- Just go around the head.

And ah right, there's a spike there.

There, see it went up to .1.

- [Voiceover] Miles says the average measurement

is a third of this reading.

- Seems to be very, very pencil thin.

- In a tiny dot of an area?

- Yes, yes.

- Do you think maybe they're emitting signals

and it's spiking because of that?

- Ah, there.

When you said that, it went up to .284.

- Oh my god.

- So, when you responded to it,

it responded to you.

Whatever it is.

- Oh, Miles.

- Okay, this is

(electronic whine)

- [Voiceover] Next, he checks for any radio transmitters.

(electronic whine)

(electronic whine)

In his back garden, Miles has a blackout tent

for further tests.

- [Voiceover] So, what, do I take off my top?

- [Voiceover] Just pull your top up.

- [Voiceover] He's got a special UV lamp

to check for any traces left by aliens.

A&S research have discovered that

if you've had contact with other beings,

they leave a residue on your body,

and it glows in various colors.

We're seeing a slight glow there.

- [Voiceover] For Miles, the evidence is conclusive.

Well, there obviously something happening in your head

with something, and... - [Marie] They're active.

- They're active, and they seem to be doing

they have a purpose.

We don't know what that is,

we don't have enough information at this stage.

So, the only way forward is to develop

more techniques to get more information.

- All right then, Miles.

- Okay, cheers.

Happy days.

- Thanks a lot.

I'll speak to you on the phone soon.

Okay, bye.

That's just a bit unnerving, really.

You know, some signals coming out of my head.

I wanna know what they are now,

and I don't think

I'm glad I found out,

but it's actually made me more curious

to find out now.

So, I'm even more determined to get more answers,

and find out what these signals are,

and who they're sending them to.

- [Voiceover] Even UFO experts like Miles,

aren't really sure what these aliens might want,

but he's spent years researching beings from outer space.

- Three best known types are the Grays, the Mantan,

the Light Beings.

The Grays have got a bad reputation

because they use an involuntary abductions,

and that's the first thing you see are the Grays

at the end of the bed, and they're gonna take you.

Sometimes they take you out of body,

your non-physical body is taken.

And they take you through the window,

and you're gone.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle believes the Grays have

been causing all sorts of trouble.

Moving things around,

and abducting her at will.

- And when I just went to walk through park

there that time, I've experienced it before

being abducted.

Just by walking through park.

Just wanted some time to meself,

and get a bit of fresh air, you know,

clear me mind,

and clear me head like and...

I've been taken.

- [Voiceover] Some days she struggles to even

leave the house on her own.

- [Voiceover] So, how are feeling at the moment?

- Bit nervous like, a bit.

Here I am, I'm all trembling.

- [Voiceover] Really?

- Yeah.

Me hands are shaking.

I get a bit panicky.

- [Voiceover] Why is that?

- I think it's just fear

of being taken.

- [Voiceover] So, what, do you think they're

up there right now?

- No idea.

Might be.

You see, you know, they tend to do sometimes

observe me when I step out.

- [Voiceover] Oh, do they.

- I do see the craft.

They let me know they're there.

Just to reassure me that they're there.

Like you know, they're watching over me,

or being protective.

I don't know what it is.

- [Voiceover] Despite her constant fear,

Chantelle does make it home today.

Her son Dominic and his best friend, Danny,

have brought back the evening meal.

- Just a couple of these.

- [Voiceover] Danny spent much of his childhood

around Chantelle,

and knows how much she wants to escape

these abductions.

- [Voiceover] Do you think this has had a good

impact or a bad impact on Chantelle?

- Bad.

The anxiety of you don't know what's gonna

happen next,

it could happen any time of the day or night.

You could be doing anything,

and they could take you.

So, you've got that constant fear all the time.

And that would get anybody drained out, I think.

(sighs)

See, that's an example just talking

can bring anxiety, and fear.

- [Voiceover] You're getting stressed, Chantelle?

- I know, I get like that sometimes.

I'm fine.

- [Voiceover] Talking about the abductions?

- Yeah.

- [Voiceover] For Chantelle,

takeaways often seem to be a trigger

for abductions.

- [Voiceover] And what happened while you were eating?

- We were just like eating it.

We just noticed missing time.

We were eating Kentucky, we looked at time,

two to two and half hours had passed by.

But I noticed all these strange body markings

on me body, the bruising everywhere,

and the needle marks on me right wrist.

I get abducted a lot when we're not eating

Kentucky like,

but it seems to happen a lot while as well

when we're eating Kentucky,

or anything to do with chicken.

- [Voiceover] The seaside town of Whitby.

Labor councilor, Simon Parkes, is being interviewed

by a journalist from a local paper.

- Why do you think it's important that people get

involved in local politics?

- Because councils are elected individuals who

are elected to represent the views of the people.

- [Voiceover] A year ago, the Whitby Gazette ran

an interview with Simon talking about his alien mum.

- I've spoken to you, you seem quite compos mentus.

I was quite shocked that somebody of your standing

would say something like that.

- I would just say that

there are plenty of people in my position

who don't choose to come out and say it

because they're terrified it will destroy their careers.

- [Voiceover] Being open in public hasn't destroyed

Simon's career,

but he believes it's brought him to the attention

of the Secret Service.

- There's an Audi behind us,

and it has been following us all the time,

off and on.

So, would you just like turn your camera around

and film him for me out the back window.

- [Voiceover] I can film it through the window.

- [Voiceover] Yeah, long as you get the index for that

vehicle, and just make it obvious that we're filming them.

- [Voiceover] Why would they be following you?

- Well, maybe they just have an interest.

And what we're going to do, is we're just gonna lose him.

Like this.

This is the sort of thing that happens in my life,

but it's just the way it is.

- [Voiceover] Do you get that a lot, Simon?

- A great deal, a great deal.

We call it cat and mouse,

cat and mouse.

- [Voiceover] Simon's on his way through a village

that a few months ago, he says, became the scene

of one of his abductions whilst with a friend.

- [Voiceover] Do you think it happened right here?

- Oh, absolutely, yes just here where this track

goes off to the farm.

We both agree, both myself and the passenger, agree

that we were physically taken from the motor vehicle.

We can definitely remember being lifted

out of the vehicle.

Now, I have no idea how they did that.

- [Voiceover] So, where did the vehicle go?

- That's the question, isn't it?

How on Earth

A, where did the vehicle go?

B, how were we put back into a moving vehicle?

This is the technology that is just completely stumps us.

- [Voiceover] This is like evidence.

- Absolutely, it's where I can actually stand,

physically look and say,

not only did I experience this,

but somebody in the car also experienced

it with me.

- [Voiceover] And can I meet her?

- You can, but I don't think that she'll actually want

you to film her.

- [Voiceover] Despite having a witness to corroborate

his abduction,

there still is no scientific proof

aliens are visiting Earth.

Marie wants to get that scientific proof.

She thinks aliens have tampered with her DNA,

and made her part alien, herself.

So, she's going to a DNA clinic to find out.

- I just wanna see if there are any changes

in my DNA, or blood or something,

that comes up as strange.

At least it'll be proof,

and it'll lead me on a track to finding

some answers, maybe.

Basically, I've had some ET experiences,

and I believe that they've been tampering

with my DNA.

- Okay, so I'm now gonna take a mouth swab from you.

I'll show you the swab.

I'm gonna rub it gently inside your cheek.

It's just to pick up a few cheek cells,

it's completely painless.

Okay, there you are.

It's gonna take them about four days to test it.

- Okay.

- They'll extract the DNA from the swabs,

and then profile it.

- [Marie] So, if there's something not human,

it should show up, shouldn't it?

- Well, if there's an anomaly,

then we'll look at it further, yeah.

- [Marie] Okay, yeah.

I'm just gonna go.

Thank you very much.

- [Voiceover] Marie will find out soon

if she is, indeed, biologically an alien.

- [Voiceover] You told me you think you might

be an alien.

- Yeah, I have a feeling I might be.

So, I'm not going to be surprised

if it does show up, an anomaly,

and then I'll start looking at what that anomaly is.

- Two fighter jets have apparently been filmed

chasing a UFO along the M5 in the West Midlands.

The video was captured by an unknown cameraman

at a service station car park near Birmingham,

and it's created a sizable truth or hoax controversy

on the web.

- [Voiceover] A growing number of people are

claiming they've been abducted by beings

from outer space.

- Then I saw a light, then it stopped,

and it came to us, it came above us.

- [Voiceover] Alien abductees support group AMMACH

are keen to document their members' stories,

and convince people they're real.

- And I felt searing, crushing, crunching

in my ear, and I'd been in my own bed.

- [Voiceover] Do you think they're making it up?

- No, I don't.

I don't think people who have been through

lifelong experiences,

and have the consequences of that.

You know, I just think they're incredibly courageous.

- [Voiceover] AMMACH's mission is to collate information

and spread the word.

Miles is keen for an abductee to undergo

a lie detector test.

- Well, anything which gets empirical data

is valuable.

And it's important to look at the data,

and then you can make your judgemental

decisions about what that data means afterwards.

- [Voiceover] Whilst Marie waits for her DNA results

to come back,

she's volunteered to undergo a polygraph.

Miles is going to film it,

and put it on the net.

- I'm sure I'll pass,

'cause I know I'm not lying,

so it should,

you know, tell that.

- [Voiceover] The polygraph expert arrives.

- Hello.

- Hello, Marie.

- I'm Terry, how are you?

- Nice to meet you.

- And you.

- Come in.

- Hello, my name is Miles.

I'm with the AMMACH project.

- Hi Miles.

- And I support anything that brings us data,

so, come on in.

- Okay, thank you.

- [Voiceover] So, if Marie's making it all up,

then you'll know about it.

- Yes.

- [Voiceover] Terry Mullins is the chairman

of the British Polygraph Association.

- What I'm gonna do now, Marie,

is put these components on you.

This is a pneumograph,

and this is gonna measure your breathing, okay.

Arms up.

- [Voiceover] As well as Marie's breathing,

the test measures blood pressure

and sweat glands.

- Polygraph is all about the body.

Works on the physiological changes of the body.

You can't control your blood pressure, okay.

You cannot control your breathing,

and you cannot control your sweat gland

with your electrodermal activity of the skin.

- I'm sweating already.

- [Terry] Sweating like that is not gonna affect you, okay.

- [Voiceover] Marie will be asked questions

she has to answer yes or no to.

- You ready?

- [Marie] Yep. - [Terry] Okay.

- Are you going to lie to me on this test?

- No.

- Have you deliberately falsified any information

you have given about being abducted by aliens?

- No.

- Before this year, do you remember making up stories

to make your life appear interesting?

- No.

- Have you deliberately lied to any person about

you alien experiences?

- No.

- Have you deliberately lied today about

being abducted by alien craft on a number

of occasions?

- No.

- That's all your questions.

- Okay.

- How do you think you got on with your test?

- [Marie] I think I should've been okay.

- Well, I'm gonna tell you Marie,

that you didn't.

(laughs)

- I find that hard to believe.

- The first relevant question is this,

and that is,

have you deliberately falsified any information

you have given about being abducted by aliens?

And you got a minus 4.

- But I haven't really told you that much about

being abducted.

- Well, you don't have to tell me much.

You only have to tell me once.

- Complete rubbish. Complete rubbish.

I don't believe you.

- Okay. - [Marie] I'm sorry.

- [Terry] We're not dealing with--

- Well, you're saying it hasn't happened,

and I'm not lying.

I told the truth today, 100%.

You're saying I'm lying.

- We're not dealing with something tangible.

- No, I just don't like being called a liar.

I haven't lied.

- I didn't call you a liar, Marie.

- [Marie] Well, basically you are saying that.

- [Terry] Oh, okay, okay.

That's your words.

- I'm not a deceptive person.

I never have been my whole life.

I'm being totally honest.

- Did you want me to do my job correctly?

- Yeah, of course.

- Then, that's what I've done.

- Well, I don't believe the results because

that's impossible.

- [Terry] Bye, bye,

- [Miles] Goodbye. - [Marie] Bye, bye.

- [Voiceover] Although used frequently,

the accuracy of polygraph tests has been disputed,

and are not admissible in a British court.

- [Voiceover] You seem very shocked.

- I'm just, I think that was ridiculous, to be honest

You know, you're looking out the window

and you see something.

I'm not blind, I'm not hallucinating,

I'm not drunk, I'm not on drugs.

I haven't got a mental illness.

And it's not made up.

You know, I've got witnesses and things like that.

So, it's happened to people with me as well,

so how can it be made up?

And how can I fail?

I don't understand.

I don't believe him. I don't believe it.

(pleasant instrumental music)

- Hello Anne, Simon here.

- [Voiceover] Simon Parkes is so convinced his stories

are real, he came out as an abductee to the press.

As a Labor town councilor,

he's constantly busy sorting out important

local issues.

- They wanted to sell the shed.

- [Voiceover] And at home,

he's kept on his toes by his nine cats.

- Stop fighting.

As brother and sister you see,

they are always at each other's throats.

It's very naughty, and we don't allow it.

Cats are a matriarchal society.

- [Voiceover] Are aliens matriarchal?

- Some of them are.

So, some of them are.

- [Voiceover] What about your aliens?

- Male.

- [Voiceover] Male.

- Male dominated. Very, very clearly.

- [Voiceover] But he does find some time

to go into town for some essential supplies.

- So, that's a good one, can have that one.

And these are nice big thick coloring crayons

which are just ideal.

I know they're for kids,

but they're actually absolutely ideal,

so we're gonna have those as well.

- [Voiceover] Are you talking about for your mum?

What green does your mum have?

- That sort of color.

That's a really good color.

- [Voiceover] Simon spends hours drawing

his experiences.

He finds it helps him come to terms with them.

- [Voiceover] Why do you call it mum?

- Because when I was a very small child,

the very first recollection I have is being

lifted out of my cot.

The only thing I can remember after

that is it saying to me,

you will never be hurt,

you will never be harmed.

- [Voiceover] Does your alien mum protect

you in any way?

- I think, I'm fairly clear in my head

that I'm monitored very closely.

And if there is anything that's seriously

is about to happen, or does happen,

then I'm fairly

confirmed in my own mind

that they will intervene.

They have intervened in the past.

- [Voiceover] Simon says when he was a small boy,

he had a terrible accident

that normally would've been fatal.

- According to what the doctor had said,

and the doctor's the professional,

the doctor was basically saying

you should've been in hospital your spine

was snapped in half.

I'd fallen down about eight foot or so of concrete

channeling, done myself quite a nasty mischief.

How on earth did I get out of that channel unaided?

I have no memory of that at all.

Somebody helped me.

So, I'm quite pleased that I've got a guardian angel

looking over me.

- [Voiceover] So, without your alien mum,

you basically, you'd be dead.

- [Simon] Probably. Yes.

- [Voiceover] Over the last 30 years,

40,000 people in the UK have claimed

to have been taken by extraterrestrials,

and the numbers are growing every year.

- Security police officer, Jim Penniston,

who apparently got close enough to touch the object.

He said he carried out a 45 minute investigation.

- He walked around it, he touched it.

He described it as glass like.

He went back to his base commander,

and he was scared.

- [Voiceover] Many abductees are scared

of their alien experiences,

and want them to stop.

Back at AMMACH, Miles has heard that Chantelle

has had enough of her abductions.

So, he's sending her a device he thinks can help.

- This is a mechanism which you can use

to insist in your intention.

If you want somebody to go away,

this will assist in doing that.

So, if you want some other entity,

or something that's causing a few problems,

you can use this as a mechanism to disrupt

its intention to give you harm.

- It's like some form of device to stop alien abductions.

It looks like a mini vibrator.

(laughs)

I don't know.

Is this device, is supposed to stop alien abductions

so Miles says.

- [Voiceover] So, it looks like a mini--

- Well, it does, doesn't it?

It did at first, and I'm just looking at the

package.

- [Voiceover] A mini vibrator.

- Well, a little odd.

(laughs)

That won't be any good.

Well, it's weird. I don't know.

- [Voiceover] Did he not say how it stops it?

- I'm sure he said to me on the tape

that a friend he knows, or someone he knows

put his under pillow, it's supposed to help with

abductions or something.

Put it under a pillow, and I just don't think

this is gonna help at all.

Nothing will.

Doms?

- Yeah.

- What do you think of this machine what Miles

sent, Dominic?

- To me it's just like a little crystal hooked to a wire,

to a battery.

- [Voiceover] Even though Dominic's 24,

Chantelle's keen for him to stay living at home.

- Without Dominic I wouldn't be here.

- [Voiceover] Really?

- Yep.

Yep, if it weren't for him.

He deserves a medal.

- [Voiceover] Many UFO experts believe there's

a generational link with abductees.

Dominic, himself, says he's been regularly abducted

all his life.

- So, when it grabbed me I was sleeping at this end,

and it pulled the covers right off me, like that.

- [Voiceover] Yeah.

- Then, I looked up see what were going on,

and then it come to grab me.

Then, from this way I heard me mum shouting,

but then I didn't know what it was.

- [Voiceover] Really? I'm sorry, what was it?

- It was a Gray.

Little small gray alien about this tall.

- [Voiceover] Yeah.

- Big eyes.

- [Voiceover] And what was it doing in your bedroom?

- I don't know. Just pulled me clothes off,

and come to grab me.

- [Voiceover] Do you think abduction is genetic?

See, I'm meeting other people.

- I don't know probably, or

I don't know. Maybe.

- [Voiceover] Marie's daughter, Gina,

a 20 year old art student,

also had alien experiences.

- She didn't know what she was painting.

She just did a lot of abstract.

Said she was seeing future things and--

- [Voiceover] What are they?

- Well, they're things like this.

Things like wormholes,

it's like things looking down from above.

- [Voiceover] A few months ago,

a terrible tragedy happened to Marie and her family.

- Well, my daughter committed suicide in November.

After something that had happened.

She had had some sort of experience, as well.

- [Voiceover] That must've been terrible for you.

- Yeah.

I can't think of anything worse ever happening

again, ever.

- [Voiceover] Marie thinks the aliens,

she calls Light Beings,

abducted Gina just before she died.

- [Voiceover] So, are you happy that Gina's with them?

- Oh yeah, I'm really happy. It's a better

Well, it's a bit better I know where she is,

and I know who they are.

So, it's better than the unknown, isn't it really?

- [Voiceover] What, 'cause they'd look after her?

- Oh, I'm sure they will. She's one of them, as well.

So, I'm sure she's home with the family.

I think that's who they are.

I think they're family.

And so I think she's just back with them.

- [Voiceover] Do you think you'll see her again?

- Oh yeah, I know I'll see her again.

Definitely, yeah, I know I'll see her again.

I have no doubts about that.

- [Voiceover] What will you say to Gina when

you see her again?

- It's what you would say to somebody

who's been on a long holiday,

and how much you've missed them,

and love them.

And I just wanna give her a hug, basically.

I just miss hugging her.

- [Voiceover] More and more sightings of UFOs

are being reported in our skies.

Even government experts are less dismissive

than they once were.

- What I am saying, and what is a matter of absolute

undisputable fact is that British airspace

has been penetrated by structured craft

of unknown origin.

- Welcome to AMMACH report number three.

Now, we've been compiling this under a little

bit of strain and difficulty.

The AMMACH project's had a few attacks,

a few problems.

- [Voiceover] Support group AMMACH was apparently

infiltrated by an alien called a Shadow Being,

who wiped computer files.

- I'd seen a red dot,

and then suddenly about here is where

I saw the being.

And I think that that guy was a projection

from some special black ops.

I really do.

And that they were here to disrupt

what we're doing.

- I have lost terabytes of files

where I've been doing these type of edits.

- [Voiceover] Despite these attacks,

AMMACH plan to carry on providing support

for people visited by aliens.

- It was like

scaly and red

and quite big

and roundish.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle has been receiving advice

from AMMACH about how to stop her

unwanted abductions.

- [Voiceover] And what about Miles' machine,

did that not work?

- This machine.

No it did not work,

this is just a waste of time.

So, when Miles sent it like

you know, I knew it would be a waste of time

straight away like,

so I will send it Miles back.

- [Voiceover] Last night, Chantelle believes

there was another alien visitation,

and the crystal failed to prevent it happening.

- Put sheepskin along that way,

watching TV like that,

and

all of a sudden like I could feel my body

lifting up, like levitating up,

and it's like after that I can't remember anything.

It must've levitated up to here.

And I seen something go shoo shoo,

passed I seen it with the corner of me eye first,

and I thought what were that?

And it went straight passed me.

Just glowing like a neon blue color, white,

and sometimes changing into a gold color.

It were only about that size.

- [Voiceover] And were you scared?

- No, no, no. No. No.

Yeah, it can be a scary experience,

and it's also an amazing experience.

- [Voiceover] You say you want this to stop,

but I'm not sure you really do, Chantelle.

- No, I don't think I do, to be honest.

If they do stop,

I'd miss it basically.

They're like

If they stopped abducting me,

I'd probably miss them, really.

Because to me they're like part

part of me family.

It's like I'm torn between two worlds,

this world, and their world.

That's just how I feel.

- [Voiceover] Which world do you prefer?

- Theirs.

- [Voiceover] What would you miss if you stayed

with the aliens?

- I'd miss Dominic, me son,

me cigarettes,

(giggles)

Kentucky Fried Chicken,

TV, but...

I think that's about it, really.

There's not a lot to miss, is there?

But it's just most of all I'd miss

me son Dominic.

- [Voiceover] Chantelle is like many abductees

who regard the aliens that take them

as an extension of their family.

- They really do have a sense of belonging

to this other group as a family.

Some will talk, or will say that they've had feelings,

not necessarily of love, but of great kinship,

and some do have love, I would say.

- [Voiceover] Simon is very close to what he calls

his alien family.

Consisting of a mistress, children,

and an alien mum.

But today he's looking at his human family album.

- That's me as a very young child.

- [Voiceover] He never knew his father,

and he was brought up in Brighton by his mother,

who was an alcoholic.

- [Voiceover] It must've been really hard for you

growing up with an alcoholic.

- Yes, of course it was.

It was very difficult.

I'm sure she loved me in her own way.

But when we would have meals,

we would never eat together.

In the 18 years that we'd been together,

before she obviously died,

I probably sat and ate food with her three times.

- [Voiceover] If I was to ask you who was

a better parent.

- One was providing emotional support,

and learning support.

That'd be the alien one.

And the other one was providing me clothes,

food, warmth.

So, they were two sides of a coin.

- [Voiceover] So, combined your two mothers,

as it were, made up to be the sort of the mother

you wanted, or needed.

- I certainly think that what was happening

was that a role was being taken by one,

and a role was being taken by another.

- [Voiceover] Can I throw a crazy theory about something?

An unhappy, unloved child

makes up an imaginary world.

- If I was going to make something up,

I can assure you I'd make up something

much happier, much more fun,

less dark, and far more grounded in this world,

than this.

(melancholy piano music)

(pleasant instrumental music)

- [Voiceover] Marie thinks she might be related

to her alien family, called Light Beings.

And today, she's returning to the DNA clinic

to get her results.

- How are you Rebecca,

nice to see you again.

- Okay, so we have your DNA profile, here.

And it shows exactly what we would expect,

that you have a two allele sizes per locus.

One, inherited from a mother,

and one from your biological father.

- Yeah, okay.

Great.

- I hope that's a relief.

- [Voiceover] According to her DNA results,

Marie is not an alien.

After a series of tests, she's come to a dead end

in finding out why she's been abducted by beings

from outer space.

- I wanna know why my life is being controlled

like this, and what's their interest.

I think it's a lifelong

search, really.

Because

I wish they would tell you answers.

I mean, they abduct you,

they take you five hours,

you come back, and you don't know anything.

- [Voiceover] But Marie is not going to give up her quest.

- Feel like I'm getting close, yeah.

I feel like I'm getting really close.

I can feel it.

So, I don't think I'll have too long to wait,

but yeah, I definitely think I'm close

to finding out more.

- The amount of people being abducted

is a very difficult one to put a figure on,

but I did hear of one in 50, recently.

And I thought, my goodness that's a lot.

You extrapolate that out, and over the planet

you've got quite a few million,

quite a few million.

♫ Someday I'll wish upon a star

♫ And wake up where the clouds

♫ Are far behind me

♫ Where troubles melt like lemon drops

♫ Away above the chimney tops

♫ That's where you'll find me

♫ If happy little bluebirds fly

♫ Beyond the rainbow

♫ Why oh why can't I ♫
