| 0:07.7 | Hello, another day, another tale of deep, uncanny weirdness. |
| 0:12.8 | This one comes from Mark, who emailed me to say, |
| 0:16.4 | Hi, Danny. |
| 0:17.3 | Back in 2001, I was driving with my wife, Sam, through the Suffolk countryside, the other side of Ipswich, from Rendlesham. |
| 0:25.6 | It was around midnight, and we were rolling through the winding roads when ahead we saw a humanoid figure cross the road and walk at pace across a field. |
| 0:35.9 | This figure glowed like a fluorescent green yellow, |
| 0:39.7 | but the same consistency from head to toe. |
| 0:42.3 | It made its way across the field and into the distance. |
| 0:45.8 | We gauped and I rolled to a stop. |
| 0:47.2 | I said to Sam, are you seeing this? |
| 0:48.9 | Yes, she replied, WTF is that? |
| 0:51.9 | We both remember this very clearly, |
| 0:53.8 | and have always described it the same way. |
| 0:56.1 | It didn't react or even notice us, just kept on its path. As it was there and solid, we can only |
| 1:03.7 | imagine it was something from out of this world. Wow, we know Rendlesham was the site of one of the great alleged British UFO encounters. |
| 1:14.8 | Do we dare to think Mark and Sam saw something extraterrestrial? Email me your thoughts. |
| 1:21.2 | Uncanny at BBC.co.com. I will be back tomorrow with another story to count us down to Halloween. |
