Simply pasting a few links here to this very well known case, and setting the record straight as several misquotes abound. Although the case was written up by my colleague Andy Collins, the case, which in all took a year to fully investigate, was done so by us BOTH equally and not as some assume just Andy. We both spent from August 1977 when WE became aware of the case to its full completion a year later. What many do not realise is the fact that Andy and me working then for UFOIN and FSR were inundated with good cases, we decided to take turns in writing up cases, we were that busy, 24/7 mostly for me. As Andy was writing up the Aveley case I was completing the equally but somehow buried abduction case from Somerset (Mrs X). This has been covered in depth I must add by Philip Mantle in the book “Without Consent”, Andy and I were credited in the original book for both cases but strangely omitted in the reprint. Also I’d like to add for the record that the quote mention (copy pasted below 3rd link) is that I drove whilst Andy sat passenger in my green Ford Zephyr 4 MK.4 in the timed journey from Sue’s parents home to Aveley. Its quoted at 22mins but I seem to recall 19 mins, oh well.

When they returned home, the husband rewired the radio, checked the headlines, and then the two still sleeping children were carried into the house. The wife then noticed the time. Expecting the clock to read about 10:20 p.m., it instead read about 1 a.m.! They were disturbed that some three hours had passed for which they could not account for.
Ufologist Andrew Collins, who learned about this case in August 1977 and initiated his first investigation of this family’s experiences beginning on the 15th of that month, would later drive this very same route from Harold Hill to Aveley, and it took him exactly 22 minutes to drive the nine miles distance
