A GROUP of childhood friends have revisited a terrifying "alien that left them encounter" traumatised for decades.
Anne Calder, 54, Pamela Pollok, 53 and May Brown, 55, were part of a group of five friends, all aged between eight and 10, who believe they encountered a "creature not of this world" when walking together in 1978.
The alleged incident took place on an old railway line near Newtongrange in Midlothian.
All three of the pals, who lost contact over the years, said they feel the time is finally right to share their "truth" despite the ridicule they may face.
They all give matching descriptions of a 3-foot-tall alien perched in a tree on a route they had walked hundreds of times before.
All three remember the alien as having bright, luminous yellow eyes with greenish-brown skin and a synthesised-sounding voice but strangely no mouth.
Looking back at the event, they feel the alien may have been communicating with them telepathically.
