Ilkley Moor, UK: Two walkers report missing time and alleged abduction
Two individuals walking on Ilkley Moor observed unusual aerial lights in December 2006. After photographing the objects, they experienced a ten-hour memory gap. Subsequent hypnosis sessions allegedly revealed an encounter with grey-skinned entities featuring large dark eyes who communicated telepathically about studying humanity.
Background
On the evening of December 21, 2006, two friends were walking across Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, England, when they noticed strange lights in the sky. The witnesses carried a camera and attempted to photograph the phenomenon as it moved rapidly across the sky and positioned itself directly above them. Their next conscious memory occurred approximately ten hours later, leaving them with no recollection of the intervening time period.
Following the incident, the witnesses underwent hypnotic regression conducted by a relative with four years of experience in hypnosis. Through these sessions, they allegedly recovered memories of being taken aboard a craft by extraterrestrial beings. The entities were described as having grey skin, large black eyes, thin bodies, and lacking noses or ears. They reportedly communicated telepathically, informing the witnesses that they should not fear and that additional visitors would arrive.
The alleged beings claimed to have transported the pair into outer space to study human beings. During the encounter, the witnesses recalled being subjected to a scanning procedure involving bright light. After completing the examination of both individuals, the entities reportedly returned them to their original location. Photographic evidence reportedly failed to capture the incident, with developed images appearing blank. An investigator noted the case could represent a hoax or misperception and could not be proven as genuine.
