What I experienced did not entail pain in the neck or on the top of my head. It felt
like a small, hard
object hitting the back of my ear at an extremely high rate of speed, with such force
as to bend the cartilage
and lobe forward over the opening to the ear canal.
The pain was sharp but localized to the back of the ear.
If it WAS an external object that hit my ear, what was strange was that it managed to
hit my ear but nothing
else. Even stranger was the fact that only the back of my ear was bruised, and
extremely bruised at
that...we're talking mostly black, with a little patch of ugly purple. And yet the
front of my ear was fine.
It's this last fact that causes most theories I and others have considered over the
years to be
rejected...anything that would have caused that extensive amount of bruising should
have caused the bruising
to also appear on the front of the ear, at least on the lobe...

Again, this description is nothing like what I experienced.
As I mentioned in another post, put the tip of your index finger on the back of your
earlobe. Then move it up
the back of your ear about half an inch, and then push your ear forward so that the
cartilage and lobe cover
your outer ear canal. Now imagine this being done quickly and sharply by what felt to
be a small, hard
object, and you'll get an idea of what I experienced.

In my experience, it wasn't a case of being 'near the back of the ear area', but of
BEING the back of the ear,
period.
