Lynda Jones: Manchester sighting, lost time, and later medical claims
Didsbury / River Mersey area, Manchester, England
Witness account
Jones described an unusual object near the River Mersey while accompanied by children, followed by apparent missing time. Later hypnosis introduced examination scenes, and reproductive-health claims entered subsequent retellings.
Public record
Accessible accounts place the experience in summer 1979 and regression in 1980, but the earliest public report and original investigative chronology remain unverified. Details differ between retellings.
