Ok, prepare yourself for a true tale of mystery.
Picture the scene; an industrial estate in rural England, 11pm, a summers evening in 2007. A handsome gent rides a racing bike down a dark secluded lane. Suddenly, he is struck with a blinding white light all around for about three seconds.
There were no light sources aside from bike lights. There were no cars, or vehicular traffic of any kind. Looking up to see if lightning has struck, he finds the English night full of stars, not a cloud in the sky. There was no noise. Although he was listening to Iron Maiden at the time.
What happened?! An encounter with FBI space aliens? The Almighty trying to communicate? Years of wild hedonism finally caught up with our mystery protagonist?
Answers on a postcard, please.
