HAUNTED BY UFOS FOR 35 YEARS: The Symes Family Alien Encounters

When the Symes family spotted a glowing orb following them home from a pub in Wales in 1975, they had no idea it was just the beginning of decades of UFO encounters that would span multiple generations. From metallic spheres hovering over their house to military jets mysteriously appearing after their reports, their experiences mirror hundreds of similar sightings of spherical UFOs stalking families across Britain and around the world.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: When UFO researcher and investigator, Richard Hall, first received reports of a UFO sighting from the Symes family in the United Kingdom in 2011, he perhaps didn’t expect that the encounters they would reveal would stretch back to the mid-1970s. Whether the Symes family are just simply in the right place at the right time or whether their location plays a part in these multiple sightings remains open to debate. Although there isn’t any evidence for it, perhaps the Symes have been targeted by the alleged extraterrestrial occupants of these seemingly alien vehicles. What is interesting, though, is that there are many sightings of these shiny or glowing spherical UFOs on record, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. And what’s more, many of them share remarkably similar details in terms of their description and how they act.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Many Extraterrestrial Experiences of the Symes Family” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p878rbh=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
