The beings shone with a silvery glow. Their limbs were long and lanky,<br />

almost anorexic in appearance. I couldn’t see any details, like fingers or things like<br />

that.<br />

I perceived, somehow, that the entity leading my husband away was female,<br />

although I could see nothing suggestive of her sex. It was just an impression I had.<br />

I got up, and like Joan of Arc I ran down a slight incline and charged at the female<br />

entity. I grabbed her arm violently and turned her around. ‘Leave him alone,’ I<br />

screamed at this creature. ‘Don’t you touch him!’ I was full of anger and intense<br />

jealousy, and extremely aware of this creature’s gender.<br />

As soon as I grabbed the entity I seemed to lose consciousness, but then came<br />

to a second later. I felt as if I had snapped out of a trance and was once again seeing<br />

clearly and feeling a crisp conscious awareness, even though I was dreaming. I<br />

found myself on the extreme right-hand side of the field, approximately 200 metres<br />

from my previous position. The craft appeared to be further down the field and to<br />

the left.<br />

I was standing over a body that was quite still, and which at first appeared<br />

to be non-human. But the body slowly changed into a human being, a man. He<br />

looked as though he was dead.<br />

From further down the field, near the craft, a middle-aged woman ran<br />

towards me screaming, ‘Murderess! Murderess!’ I found this word odd, because<br />

it‘s so archaic. The woman was chubby and, by her reaction, I imagined the man<br />

was related to her in some way. I didn’t know her, but I started to panic. All of my<br />

emotions were extreme at this point.<br />

I had no recollection of doing anything except grabbing the arm of the female<br />

being to protect my husband. But there I was, with what I believed to be a dead<br />

body lying at my feet, preparing to fend off an hysterical woman who was accusing<br />

me of murder.<br />

‘I didn’t do it! I didn’t kill him,’ I told myself as much as anyone who could<br />

hear me.<br />

In those few endless moments I was stricken with an overpowering sense of<br />

grief and guilt. I couldn’t remember doing this. I had blacked out, but could I really<br />

have taken another human life? I was mortified. To my way of thinking, this was<br />

the greatest wrong that a person could commit, both against God and their fellow<br />

man.<br />

‘Please tell me I didn’t do it. Somebody please tell me it isn’t true!’ I said,<br />

over and over.<br />

I then became aware of an arm placed around my shoulder and being led<br />

away. Obediently, I allowed myself to be guided — all of my resistance had
