Brigitte Barclay

Who is Brigitte Barclay?

Brigitte Barclay is Britain's best known alleged alien abductee with experiences comparable to those of George Adamski, Billy Meier and the Tujunga Canyon contacts. In September 2001, at the 20th Leeds International UFO Conference, British Ministry of Defence official Nick Pope introduced Barclay to the Ufological community, where she related some of her childhood experiences. Pope introduced her to Budd Hopkins, who used regression techniques to examine Barclay's memories. Barclay claims at least seventeen close encounters. Her first, when she was seven, involved what she thought was a Chinese girl in a gazebo but later interpreted as a "Grey" alien and an alien craft. In 1993, she claims to have seen a silent silver craft fly past her closely followed by several unmarked black helicopters.

From 1989 - 93, Barclay worked as a glamour model, with nude pictorials in Escort, Fiesta, Mayfair, Men Only, Men's World, Penthouse, Playboy, Razzle and several other similar men's magazines, principally those published in Britain; she also appeared as a regular Sun Page 3 girl. Additionally, with other glamour models of the same era, she appeared in the film The Rainbow Thief, alongside Omar Sharif and Christopher Lee.
