A man who believes he experienced a face-to-face meeting with an extraterrestrial creature as a child has dedicated his life to finding answers. Ben Walgate was inspired to set up his YouTube channel - 401 Files - after the bizarre encounter in a woodland when he was just seven or eight-years-old.
The 35-year-old now visits various hotspots for alleged UFO and alien sightings across the UK, and notifies to his more than 11.4k subscribers, the Mirror reports. Such locations include the North York Moors, Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire, and Reminishin Forest, in Surrey.
Ben had been on his way back from a camping trip as a Cub Scout at Snowball Plantation, near York, when the minibus had stopped off to allow everyone to stretch their legs. It was broad daylight and very hot. He ventured up a small embankment which brought him into a wooded area and saw a derelict outbuilding in a clearing.
