Short Haunts - Strangers from the Sky

A teenage farm boy works alone through the night.The tractor moves through darkness.Then a silent silver object descends into the field — and hours disappear.In this Short Haunt, David shares the remarkable story of his father’s experience on an isolated farm in New South Wales, Australia, in the 1950s. While ploughing wheat fields overnight, his father recalls a sudden flash of light, a silent craft in the sky, and then almost nothing at all — until dawn, when he returns with missing time, far less work completed than expected, and no clear memory of the night.The details that remain are difficult to explain. The tractor had used only a fraction of the fuel it should have. The field had not been ploughed as far as it should have. And when he undressed, his clothing was arranged differently from how he always wore it against the cold.Decades later, the memory still troubles him. Blending UFO testimony, rural isolation, missing time and the unsettling possibility of contact with something unknown, this is a quiet, eerie account of a night in the fields that may have changed one man’s view of the world forever.Enjoyed the episode?
