I was working as a nurse when I became interested in the paranormal, after seeing full-body apparitions at work. My foray into the paranormal world led me to ufology and I set up a group called UFO Identified with a fellow enthusiast, Ash Ellis.

We wanted to demystify some of the myths and take a genuinely scientific approach, as the UFO community is quick to claim anything is a little grey alien or a spaceship. In reality, 99.9% of all the sightings that come through to us are explainable. We cross reference any reports with weather charts, plane data and the planets. Most of the time, it’s an easyJet flight or whatever. But occasionally, we can’t identify it.

We had so many people get in contact to share their experiences, we began to map out sightings, create a database and hold meetings across the UK to provide a safe space. I’ve made lifelong friends; we meet for dinner and catch up on life stuff before switching to UFO mode.
