Kelly Cahill
The claims the writer was given for Kelly Cahill, in the order they were given.
1
Kelly Cahill described her first "dreaming" as a sensation of energy being violently sucked from her chest, followed by waking to find a black-hooded figure about two metres tall with big red eyes standing between five and thirty centimetres from her.
“all of a sudden I felt like something was being sucked out of my chest and the pressure... standing beside me and only that far away from me (between five inches to a foot at the most) was a black figure about seven feet tall (because he just reached the top of my mirror) with a hood on it, with big red eyes.”

Kelly Cahill and her husband experienced an apparent period of missing time associated with the bright light, after which she found herself abruptly sitting in the car with no memory of what happened in between.
“From there, that is the last we remembered until… All of a sudden I'm sitting in the car, and I'm saying to my husband, "What happened?" And he says to me, "I don't know. We must have gone around a comer or something."”

Kelly Cahill underwent a second laparoscopy about six weeks after her hospital treatment, due to ongoing stomach pain, and the triangular mark was still present on her body at that time.
“I went back in later, another six weeks after that, because I had a lot of pains in my stomach, and just wanted to have it checked to see what it was. And I still had the triangular mark there.”

During Kelly Cahill's second laparoscopy, the surgical cut was made directly next to her pre-existing triangular mark with no comment from medical staff, and a friend later wrote a letter confirming she had seen the triangular mark.
“They just did a blooming laparoscopy cut right next to it. [There was] no comment whatsoever…. I have a letter from a friend saying that she saw [the triangular mark].”

Kelly Cahill's recollections of the 1993 encounter did not emerge from hypnosis; she had only one hypnosis session, held after the main investigation was already complete, which failed to reveal anything significant.
“Kelly's recollections did not emerge from hypnosis. Indeed, she had only one session well after the main investigation of her encounter had been completed, and it failed to reveal anything of significance.”

A few weeks after the encounter, Kelly Cahill's husband reminded her of what they had seen while she had no memory of it, and a few days later her memory of the object hovering over the road suddenly returned.
“It had been totally blanked out of my mind. And I search my head for days... He was telling me, "Remember on the way home from [your girlfriend's], remember, it wasn't making any noise… ?"... And a few days later, all of a sudden I remembered it! It hit me!”

In October 1993, while driving home along the same road after visiting her friend for a second birthday and playing Bingo again, Kelly Cahill felt sudden terror at a certain spot and by the next morning had remembered nearly everything that happened, aside from some remaining missing time.
“I went up to [my girlfriend's] house again in October, this time for her other daughter's… birthday, and again we went to Bingo. On the way home from Bingo that night, we went along the same road, and as we passed a certain spot I just got this incredible feeling of terror go through me... All of a sudden I just started remembering and by the next morning I. had remembered just about everything that happened, except there's still missing time that I can't [remember].”

Kelly Cahill recalled that the bright light they had driven towards was actually located to the right of the road in a field rather than directly ahead, because the road had curved.
“What we had actually done, we had driven… into the light, but the road curved and the light we had thought was in front of us was actually to our right-hand side. It was in the field, and it was massive.”

Estimates put the possible diameter of the object Kelly Cahill saw in the field at close to 50 metres, comparable to the size of a house.
“[Estimates put the possible diameter of the UFO at "the size of a house" or perhaps close to 50 meters.]”

Kelly Cahill judged the object in the field to be very large because they could have driven for five minutes along the winding road without losing sight of it.
“Why I knew it was very big was because we could have driven for five minutes. The road sort of wound around this part. You could have driven forfive minutes and not had it out of your sight the whole time.”

Kelly Cahill and her husband stopped the car and got out to look at the object; Kelly recalled leaning back into the car to retrieve her handbag as one of the details that later triggered the return of her memories.
“I asked him to stop the car and we both got out. I remembered leaning back in, actually on the floor to pick up my handbag because I didn't go anywhere without my handbag. And that's one of the sort of things that triggered off a lot of these memories doing that.”

After crossing the road towards the object, Kelly Cahill saw another car, light blue in colour, parked down the road with people getting out, though she initially thought there were two people when there were actually three.
“I looked down the road and there was another car—a light blue car—pulled up. Some people got out, and went across the road. I only thought it was two, but it was actually three, but I didn't pay much attention.”

Kelly Cahill expected the figure she saw to be a human being, but its shape was wrong and it was not human; she was immediately overwhelmed with fear when she tried to communicate with it using thought.
“For Kelly this was quite startling. Somehow she expected to see a human being, but this was not human. Its shape was all wrong. Kelly tried to use thought as a means to communicate. She was immediately overwhelmed with fear.”

19
Kelly Cahill began screaming that the beings had no souls, a phrase she found baffling to have said because she felt a human being would not normally know or say this.
“Now this has really got me baffled because of the fact that a human being doesn't know this, so I don't even know how I came out with this, but I started saying "They've got no souls," and then I started screaming "THEY'VE GOT NO SOULS."”

Kelly Cahill saw multiple beings appear in the field, moving faster than a man could run and gliding off the ground, some heading towards the other witnesses down the road and some towards Kelly and her husband.
“Then all of a sudden there were heaps of them in the field, not just one, a whole heap of them, and they started coming towards us, I mean … faster than a man could run, and they were gliding off the ground. They got halfway across the field. They split up, some of them went towards the other people... and some of them... came towards us.”

Kelly Cahill felt a sudden impact in her stomach as if winded, was thrown backwards onto the ground, and temporarily lost her vision.
“The next thing I know I felt this Umph! in my stomach, right across here like I was winded, but I was thrown right hack and I was on my back on the ground. I sat up, with my head between my knees... My eyes. … It was all black. I couldn't see anything.”

Kelly Cahill speculated that being winded during the encounter may have been caused by an electric fence at the site, though the investigation found this fence was inside the main fence line, likely not strong enough to have winded her, and most likely not switched on at the time.
“Kelly speculated that her being "winded" may have been caused by an electric fence at the site. However, this electric fence was inside the main fence line, would probably not have been sufficiently strong to have "winded" her, and most likely was not on at the time.”

Kelly Cahill heard her husband say "let go of me" with his voice cracked with fear, which she found unusual because he was not normally frightened or afraid of anything.
“the next thing I heard him saying "Let go of me." His voice was all sort of cracked up with fear, and I'd never heard that from my husband. He's not frightened or afraid of anything….”

Kelly Cahill heard a voice during the encounter say it would not harm her because "she's my daughter," which Kelly took as sarcasm given her earlier prayer that had begun with the word "Father."
“there's one thing I remember that he said: "I wouldn't harm her. She's my daughter." Now when I first saw the [UFO]… on the way up to [my girlfriend's] in the field, the first thing I did was pray. And I took it as sarcasm straight away.”

On seeing the ring of orange lights on 1993-08-07, Kelly Cahill made a silent prayer beginning with the word "Father," asking to be shown its meaning when she passed the same spot on her way back.
“So she made a silent prayer, which began with "Father." She thought for a moment, "Wait for me… I'll be back down this way in a few hours."”

Kelly Cahill felt "mocked" during the 1993-08-08 encounter when she heard a voice say "she is my daughter" in apparent response to her earlier prayer to a "Father," and she stated aloud that this could not be her father.
“given her brief prayer for clarification of the nature of the UFO event on the way to her friend's on August 7, and the use of the word "Father," she felt "mocked" when during the close encounter of August 8, on the way back from her friend's, she heard a voice saying, "She is my daughter." To Kelly there was no way this was her "father," and she said as much before losing consciousness.”
