BRIGHTVIEW 1965


27/12/2025 UPDATE: NICK "AUSTIN" REYNOLDS

Hello readers,

I hope all have enjoyed a happy holiday.

I have something a little different today. This is not a major update by any means but does concern an individual somewhat related to the incident. Teacher and witness Gene Reynolds' grandson Nick "Austin" Reynolds agreed to speak with me about the case and his family.

To be clear: I am not a journalist, I am a researcher, so this is the attitude with which I approached our communication. Nick and I exchanged emails for a few days before he agreed to an off the record chat over the phone. We were ten minutes into the call when he became manic after some questions he felt were probing and told me that everything from now on was on the record. So that is where we are picking up from in the following exchange. As you will soon discover, this was short lived.

Nick: On the record! On the record! On the record!

Bryan: I understand.

Nick: We are on the record.

Bryan: Okay, so are you happy for me to re-establish the key points of our discussion up to this point for our readers?

Nick: I don't care what you do. Do you understand this? I am not a monster.

Bryan: I didn't say you were.

Nick: I am not a monster and anyone who told you so is lying. I am fixed. I fixed myself. I had a cigar that cleared my head in 2013.

Bryan: What?

Nick: When I came up here I had a big red cigar that said "relax" on it in big letters and I realised a lot of things. One of those things was that I just have to believe in myself. And that everything was behind me. I never even did another cigar. I did not have to.

Bryan: Okay.

Nick: Now you don't even know what to do. This is exactly what I meant. You are not ready. Did you know that there is an entire website where all anyone does is talk about how great I am? They say I have done bad things, but they know it's okay in the end because I have done good things. I do not want you telling anyone the first part of our phone call. That is private!

Bryan: In that case I won't, but I'd like to follow up on a couple of items we discussed if that's okay-

Nick: You have no idea what you just stepped in, Mr. Cowboy. The Nick Austin forum is going to go after you and wreck your life.

Bryan: The Nick Austin forum?

Nick: Someone made it with the createaforum website. Because they were a fan. You get to pick the colours and put up the pictures and everything. Many go there just to talk about how they want to **** me. They will wreck your life.

I will not hear you discredit my grandfather, who bopped me up and down on his knee just because he loved me.

Bryan: I'm not interested in discrediting Gene, or you for that matter. I believe our readers would be interested to know what you can tell us about Gene Reynolds or [your uncle] Trey Docketty.

Nick: Here is what I can tell you. People like you destroyed my grandfather. He saw an incredible thing and tried to protect us from it with his quiet lips. But you had to prod and prod and prod. No one lets the sleeping dogs rest.

Bryan: Who are you referring to when you say that?

Nick: Tall men. Strange men. If he had been allowed his silence this would all be different.

Here are the rules. You have to call me Nick Austin. You aren't going to mention the old lady. The place wasn't even in his name technically, so you won't find it.

Bryan: When you say "the place", you're referring to your living quarters? And "old lady", you mean Eleanor Mitchell? You mentioned her earlier.

Nick: You're not allowed to say that. I commanded it.

Bryan: We're on the record.

Nick: Fine! Then put it on your website. I don't care. I pay for my own groceries and DVDs with my own money. I stay up to date on the latest movies. I have seen the Spiderman movie. You gonna call the cops on me for that? It is not even illegal to have DVDs or watch Spiderman Movie. I know. Ask me a question and I will tell you what Uncle Trey would have answered.

Bryan: Okay. How would you describe your relationship with your nephew?

Nick: I don't care! (blowing raspberries) That is what he would have said, and you would have lost your mind. He was quick on his feet, he's a liar, he lied about me on the interview on the website. He is wrong. I am not sick. I am not sick!

But he was strong. He travelled so much further than you can ever know. We dreamed it, he lived it. Understand this: the men in their suits told my grandfather to stay quiet. And he did. But he told his children. He told them everything. You know what that means? My father learnt the truth of the world. He raised me knowing what happens to weak people. They get crushed.

Bryan: Do you believe he influenced Trey's belief in this connection between dreams and the Brightview incident? Or do you believe they're genuinely related in some esoteric sense?

Nick: (imitating buzzer noise) ehh! You are meant to ask questions with me as Uncle Trey and you ****** it. Mark this day on your calendar as the day you ****** up real bad. The clock is ticking. Tick tock! Tick tock!

After this remark he hung up. He did not pick up when I redialled. He then sent me an email saying that if I published this interview, he would tell people it was AI generated as a plot to discredit him. I weighed up whether to publish our exchange but ultimately felt he did offer enough compelling information in relation to his family that I have decided to go ahead with it.

As to the content of his revelations, I will leave the interpretation up to you, reader. Some clarifications: when I referenced Eleanor Mitchell, I was referring to his independently bringing her up at multiple points earlier in our chat. Trey Docketty is his uncle and the youngest son of Gene Reynolds. When Nick mentions an interview with his uncle, he is referring to this piece from 2005, purportedly conducted by an unidentified Brightview witness, though take this with a grain of salt. I do not have a link to the forum Nick references.

I understand that while it may seem amusing to get in touch with him yourself, I recommend you do not contact him as he may be unstable and dangerous. I want to be clear that I am aware Nick has been evading law enforcement for many years following an incident of grave bodily harm in 2004. I have passed on what information I am ethically within my means to share with the authorities in regard to this matter. Please do not contact members of the Reynolds family.

I am planning to continue to update this page in the new year as more information comes to light.

Happy new year.


31/03/2024 UPDATE: UFO IMAGES

Hello followers of this case and witnesses alike,

It's our pleasure to bring you up to date with some new information on the Brightview 1965 UFO sighting. However, I'll warn you ahead of time that there's no smoking gun just yet. But it looks like we're a few steps closer.

We've taken our time to verify the information we're publishing here before going ahead with it. We thank everyone for their patience as we went through this laborious process.

In Feburary of this year, individuals following a certain Youtube page began to contact us. This Youtube page uploaded instructional videos, which happened to link to this website. So why was that?

Connections began to present themselves. A man featured in the videos, Nick Reynolds (operating under the stage name 'Nick Austin') is the descendant of Gene Reynolds, who was a science teacher at Brightview Secondary College and a key witness in the UFO sighting. Our initial thought was perhaps this individual was uploading videos he'd made and was simply wanted to showcase our work.

However, it would seem around the time these videos were made (~2007) Nick Reynolds had for some years been missing, last seen after committing a violent act and stealing his father's car. We've approached his father and Gene's son, Mark Reynolds, for comment but he has not returned our correspondence. We have however been asked by a concerned party that we do not disclose the nature of this act, and we wish to respect their wishes.

If it ended there we'd likely have not mentioned it. But there's more.

Upon careful inspection of the filming location of these videos and comparison against photography of Brightview Secondary College while it was operational, it's clear they are one and the same. In pursuit of this thread, Bryan made an information request to confirm that an orgnaisation named 'New World Strategies' purchased the school in a private sale in 1993, six months after it has ceased operations. Under their ownership the school was renamed 'Brightview Acheivement Grounds'.

Brightview Secondary College (1993)

New World Strategies was the now defunct organisation that produced these videos, and therefore employed Nick Reynolds to host a number of them. How many and for how long, we're not sure. We do suspect those behind New World Strategies had some fascination with the Brightview sighting, though to what extent we're again not sure.

What someone was able to find hidden in their website, is what we suspect are Gene's confiscated UFO pictures. While even with months of inspection we cannot absolutely confirm their authenticity, though we're inclined to believe they're 'the real deal'. See for yourself.

Anyone who has speculation to offer on these images or proof of authenticity, please get in touch at contact@brightview1965.com.

Cosmo Reichi, former organiser of UFO United and regular contribuor to this website, has offered his thoughts below:

IMAGE ONE: Immediately we notice TWO crafts amongst the clouds. It is clear the nearest craft has been captured in a state of hyper rotation. It's likely these vehicles are currently in transport, as in their native state there would be more immediate contrast between them and the clouds. The vehicle in the distance would seem to be overseeing the nearest craft, or perhaps operating as backup. Or perhaps it is leaving the contamination site, as the third UFO present is often said to have done, but I believe this is not very likely at all for reasons stated below...

IMAGE TWO: ZOOM! Now this is a craft that's making a break for it. We see that it's crossing over the power lines in the bottom left, likely avoiding electronic overstimulation by travelling underneath. We see its shape more clearly and can confidently say this is closer in form to a survellience craft, often used by greys. But it mightn't be greys after all.

IMAGE THREE: Closer in but blurier. Still, we can see the shape has changed, morphed into something smoother with less curves. This may be the pilots activating a hyper drive, or it's evidence of shape shifters, whose ships are clearly advanced enough to simulate the biological function of transformation. This could be an explanation for the distinction in details between encounters.

- Cosmo

Now, the frustrating part is this doesn't really lead us to a firm answer, does it! What we can at least be grateful for is that this has surely brought us closer, if for nothing other than we found these infamous pictures hiding away on their website for who knows how long!

Thank you again for your patience. If you have any additional information, please contact us at contact@brightview1965.com.
