PART 1
|
|
|
|
The story of a man, a fled the vacuum cleaner.
|
|
Sue, 39, is trying to explain the situation, apologise and justify
|
|
herself all at once. "He gets terrible pains whenever I switch on
|
|
electrical appliances," she says despairingly. "But you were coming
|
|
and I felt really ashamed because the room looked a a mess."
|
|
|
|
Sue's the first to admit - taking into account two sons and four
|
|
dogs - that her house isn't exactly immaculate. It's the first time
|
|
she's vacuumed for six months. Because of Tony's illness she usually
|
|
has to use a brush to sweep up. Sue rarely uses s her tumble drier
|
|
or electric kettle either. "The vacuum's the worst," Tony says. "I
|
|
feel as if my head's being pushed down and my teeth are being
|
|
squeezed out of my mouth." And although he can watch a black and
|
|
white television without feeling pain, he can't watch colour.
|
|
|
|
Tony, also 39, suffers from some other strange complaints, too.
|
|
He often feels he's suffocating, gets frequent burning sensations
|
|
in his body and a metallic taste in his mouth. He's allergic to many
|
|
foods and has difficulty swallowing. His diet conssists mainly of
|
|
tomatoes and oranges. He's so weak he spends nearly all his time
|
|
lying on the sofa. Stranger still, he believes his condition is
|
|
caused by radiation sickness as a result of - wait for it - getting
|
|
too close to a UFO in 1988.
|
|
|
|
Tony and Sue from Bridgewater, Somerset, have been married for 18
|
|
years. Their three sons, Simon (who's left home), Daniel and Shane,
|
|
are 18, 16 and 9. Tony feels so ill that he's often irritable with
|
|
the boys and complains of violent pain whenever they play video
|
|
games.
|
|
|
|
Before the sighting, he was a different man, one who liked a beer
|
|
and country walks. "I was perfectly fit then," says the former
|
|
builder's mate who's now frighteningly thin and hasn't been able to
|
|
work for years.
|
|
|
|
His troubles apparently began one beautiful May day during a
|
|
solitary walk in the Quantock Hills near his home. At about midday he
|
|
noticed a strange black dot in the sky. But although he began to feel
|
|
nervous as it came closer and lower he managed to photograph it. "It
|
|
was going at about five miles an hour," he says. "It stopped about 50
|
|
feet above my head and was massive - it completely blotted out the
|
|
sun. It had two wings which folded into the side when it stopped and
|
|
there were flashing lights and two decks with windows."
|
|
|
|
Tony claims an alien appeared at one of the lower deck windows.
|
|
His memory of the experience is patchy - though this is a common
|
|
experience after UFO encounters, according to experts. "The alien I
|
|
saw seemed to be glowing and wore a helmet," Tony recalls. He
|
|
believes the alien communicated with him telepathically, apologising
|
|
because the craft had come too close to him. "I felt tremendous heat
|
|
go through my hands. I thought I'd been badly burnt. But there were
|
|
no marks," he remembers.
|
|
|
|
After what seemed like five minutes the craft moved silently away.
|
|
In fact it was two hours. Why wasn't he more frightened? Tony's
|
|
incredible explanation is that he'd seen two UFO's before.
|
|
|
|
In 1972 he was walking to the station early in the morning when he
|
|
saw strange lights in the sky near Wincanton, Somerset.
|
|
|
|
Two years later he was camping near Bridgewater with Sue when they
|
|
saw a red, saucer shaped craft in the sky at night.
|
|
|
|
All of which is astounding if true. Understandably, Tony was afraid
|
|
other people wouldn't believe him. He mentioned the 1988 sighting to a
|
|
friend, who laughed at him, and to Sue, who thought honesty wasn't the
|
|
best policy. "This is a small town," she says. "People don't think
|
|
things like that happen here when anyone
|
|
used the vacuum cleaner. Once when it was on I was thrown across the
|
|
room by what felt like an electric charge. Sometimes I felt as if I
|
|
was on fire. One day my shirt started to smell as if it were
|
|
scorching." His condition deteriorated during 1990. He began to hate
|
|
water and hasn't had a bath since. Tony does wash occasionally but
|
|
can't bear to be immersed in water.
