Extraterrestrial Contacts?
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
By: Philip J.Imbrogno
|
|
|
|
Are human beings now in contact with some unkown extraterrestrial
|
|
intelligence? UFO investigators from all across the country report that the
|
|
number of Contact cases has risen over 200% in the last five years! It is
|
|
my feeling that there could be something very concrete to this contact
|
|
phenomena and we should all take a much more serious attitude toward it.
|
|
|
|
Contact In The Hudson Valley
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
During my research in the Northeast section of the United States, I have
|
|
found a good number of people you had an continue to have UFO encounters.
|
|
Most of these witnesses started out with and ordinary sighting and now
|
|
after many UFO related experiences feel they are in contact with the
|
|
intelligence behind the UFOs.
|
|
|
|
In the Hudson Valley area alone, there has been more than 7,000 reports
|
|
of UFOs over the past seven years. To my surprise many people in the area
|
|
felt that they had contact with a non-human intelligence from another
|
|
world.At first I found these cases strange and a little disturbing since in
|
|
most cases this type of report is picked up by the media who attempt to
|
|
discredit it by ridiculing the witness. Needless to say this hurts UFOlogy
|
|
in general. During the early part of my investigation into the Hudson
|
|
Valley Phenomena, I did my best to keep these cases away from the public
|
|
eye. The first call of order was to prove that something strange was in the
|
|
sky and that the UFO that thousands of people have been seeing is not
|
|
something conventional, like "planes in formation".
|
|
|
|
|
|
As time went on the cases of contact in the area began to escalate. I
|
|
knew then that some of these cases had to be researched. In response to
|
|
this, A UFO conference was organized by Peter Gersten and myself. The
|
|
conference took place during september of 1987 and the theme was to explore
|
|
the possibility that a non-human intelligence was in contact with people in
|
|
the area.
|
|
|
|
The speakers were Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins,John Keel, Ellen
|
|
Crystall and myself. At the end of tweleve hours about 900 people attended
|
|
and over 200 filled out report forms stating that they thought they had
|
|
contact with the UFO intelligence. The actual number really surprised me
|
|
greatly, and we were only touching the tip of the iceberg.
|
|
|
|
Out of the 200 reports a primilary investigation proved that 120 of them
|
|
could be unreliable, so only 90 were selected for study. They are listed
|
|
below and broken down into to five categories.
|
|
|
|
Type Contact Number

Sighting with telepathy 40

|
|
|
|
|
|
I will clarify each of the above categories below:
|
|
|
|
Abduction; Those people who claim to have been taken aboard an alien craft
|
|
and meeting the intelligence that operates it.
|
|
|
|
Channeling: Those people who claim to be in mental contact with a
|
|
non-human or super human intelligence. Most communication is done by
|
|
automatic writing,verbally or diagrams.
|
|
|
|
Entity Communication: Those who have met a human like or non-human like
|
|
being and had verbal or mental face to face communication.In most cases the
|
|
person is left with some type of information, but in some cases no
|
|
information is exchanged during the contact.
|
|
|
|
Sighting With telepathy: a sighting of a UFO in which the witnesses feels
|
|
some type of communication is taking place between them and the
|
|
intelligence in the UFO. As you can see this made up of the bulk of reports
|
|
that I investigated.
|
|
|
|
CE-III only: Those people who have encountered a strange being, but no
|
|
communication was made. Some time the encounter is near a landed
|
|
UFO,sometimes there is no UFO in sight.
|
|
|
|
I will now present Two cases studies of contact from my research along
|
|
with my findings. It must be remembered that the case studies are very long
|
|
and complex,so I will only present the core of the data.
|
|
Abductions
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The abduction phenomena is wide spread across the country. Pioneer
|
|
researchers like Budd Hopkins have brought many cases to light. It was no
|
|
surprise to me that when the UFO sightings began in the Hudson Valley that
|
|
soon abduction cases would follow. One particular case that was brought to
|
|
my attention concerned a computer scientist in his early twenties. To
|
|
protect the person identity I shall call him "Ray".
|
|
|
|
On March 13 1988 at 10:00 P.M "Ray" was driving home on Route 116 in
|
|
Croton Falls, New York. The route is a lonely dark road with no lights with
|
|
a large reservoir on his left and woods on the right. He was driving home
|
|
from a friend's home in the area of Croton Falls to his home in New Castle,
|
|
New York.
|
|
|
|
"Ray" noticed a number of very bright white lights off to his left just
|
|
above the reservoir. the lights seemed too low to be a plane and looked
|
|
like they were several hundred yards away. The pine trees along the side of
|
|
the road partially obstructed his view, so he continued to drive, but
|
|
slowly until he came to a clearing.
|
|
|
|
He then stopped his car rolled down his window and watched the lights as
|
|
they continued to approach. He then pulled himself half way out of the car
|
|
through the window and sat on the car door. As he watched the lights, he
|
|
noticed that they were connected to some type of very dark structure. There
|
|
was no sound from the object and it was about 20 feet above the tree line.
|
|
As the UFO passed over his car, he looked up to see this large triangular
|
|
object which was about 100 feet from end to end slowly pass over his car.
|
|
|
|
He looked up and noticed that the object only had lights in the front and
|
|
the underside was in sections and had depth, and receded inward. Inside the
|
|
receded area he saw white flashes of light. He compared these flashes with
|
|
that of a strobe light. Then something strange took place. The next thing
|
|
he knew, he was back in the car and driving down the road and the object
|
|
was gone.
|
|
|
|
When he got home he found it very hard to sleep. For the next several
|
|
days "Ray" would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with
|
|
his heart pounding feel very confused. He knew somehow that these sudden
|
|
episodes of night terror had to do something with the UFO sighting.
|
|
|
|
I arranged to have "Ray" hypnotized by Dr. Jean Mundy, a certified
|
|
Psychologist who practices in New York City and a well known UFO
|
|
researcher. The result of the hypnotic session indicated that "Ray"
|
|
experienced an abduction on Route 116 during his sighting.The case is very
|
|
long and involved. I will only give a synopsis of the information that was
|
|
brought out during that session.
|
|
|
|
"Ray's" Abduction
|
|
-----------------
|
|
While the object was passing over his car, "Ray" somehow was drawn out of
|
|
the car window and into the UFO. He found himself lying on a table in a
|
|
dark room. There were several beings standing on each side of him, and the
|
|
being next to his left side was moving some type of instrument around his
|
|
head. He tried to move but his legs felt paralyzed. Ray described the
|
|
beings as typical "greys", that are often described in UFO literature. He
|
|
noticed their eyes were round, and not slanted, as often reported.
|
|
|
|
One of the beings then inserted something up his nose which caused "Ray"
|
|
extreme pain. The feeling he had was as if cotton was being shoved up his
|
|
nostril. While remembering this part of the hypnosis "Ray" began to cry out
|
|
in pain and his nose began to get red and swell.
|
|
|
|
After the insert procedure, "Ray" was allowed to get up. He was escorted
|
|
by one of the beings to a control pannel. The being was short and was only
|
|
as high as "Ray"'s chest( "Ray" is about five foot 9). At no time was there
|
|
any verbal communication, but "Ray" knew where they wanted him to go and
|
|
what they wanted him to do. He saw this control pannel which was like a
|
|
greyish material with many projections and knobs. He thought that these
|
|
might be some type of controls.
|
|
|
|
"Ray" then found himself back in his car driving down the road. "Ray"
|
|
feels that the beings will someday come back for him and this time he will
|
|
not be returned for him. His entire life has changed since the incident. He
|
|
feels as if he is in some form of mental contact with the beings that he
|
|
met. He feels as if he is gathering information for them. For example "Ray"
|
|
may be listening to music, and a voice inside his head will say "Tell us
|
|
about this music, how does it make you feel". "Ray" is not able to control
|
|
these requests,they can come at any time while he is experiencing something
|
|
in his every day life.
|
|
|
|
"Ray"'s case is unusual, but not unique when compared to the many cases
|
|
that I have investigated in the Hudson Valley.
|
|
|
|
Channeling
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The channeling phenomenon seems to be a new craze across the country.
|
|
When I was approached by individuals who claimed to be in contact with a
|
|
super human intelligence, my first response was a negative one. Since 1986
|
|
I have invesigated the claims of at least 40 people who say they are
|
|
channeling a higher intelligence that is extraterrestrial in nature.My
|
|
research proved to my satisfaction that 90% of these people proved to be in
|
|
contact with nothing more than their own imagination.The other 10% are
|
|
interesting,but require additional research.From the ten cases, selected
|
|
from the conference data, only one stands out. This person is the only one
|
|
that really made me consider that he may be in contact with an intelligence
|
|
that is not of this Earth.
|
|
|
|
Dean Fagerstrom is a 57 year old resident of Putnam Lake New York. When I
|
|
first met Dean in 1982 he was Working as a night watchman. I found Dean
|
|
intelligent, articulate and to say the least fascinating.
|
|
|
|
As an adult Dean's experiences began in November of 1966 while in the army
|
|
stationed in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. He lived down town, about a mile from
|
|
the base.One night at two o'clock in the morning while sitting in his
|
|
apartment while working on a number sequence for the lottery, he had the
|
|
feeling he was not alone. He id not feel alarmed by the awareness, but
|
|
curious. Finally he got up and walked around the living room and when he
|
|
found no one he returned to his seat where he was working with the numbers
|
|
on a white board. As he looked at the white board a human like face began
|
|
to appear before his eyes. The face filled up just about all of the two by
|
|
three board. As the image got clearer, he saw that it was not one face, but
|
|
two. There was a bluish shimmer around the edges of this image,one image
|
|
was that of a man wuth tawny hair, not quite shoulder length, and a woman
|
|
with slightly darker hair, a little shorter Then he heard a voice close to
|
|
his ear identify the names of the beings that he saw. The male gave his
|
|
name as" Donestra" and his wife's name as" Kilestra", although he did not
|
|
say "wife", but rather "mate".
|
|
|
|
This Donestra then told Dean, that Dean has studied many things and they
|
|
have been receiving his thought projections because the mind is a powerful
|
|
transmitter. Donestra also told Dean that the images he is now seeing are
|
|
not real, but holographic projections. Dean was then told that this being
|
|
and his mate were amoung thousands of other individuals from various
|
|
planets throughout the near regions of our solar system and beyond.Donestra
|
|
told Dean that they have been studying the Earth for many years and that
|
|
our planetary and human condition interested them greatly.
|
|
|
|
After several minutes of conversation the communication came to a close
|
|
and Dean was asked not to mention to any one for a while what he had seen
|
|
and heard. Dean was told to watch the skies in the next few days, he did
|
|
and claims he saw a craft of" amazing design and aerial ability". This was
|
|
to prove to Dean that the contact he had was real and not an hallucination.
|
|
Between 1966 and 1967 Dean was to continue to have contact with Donestra.
|
|
|
|
In 1967 Dean was discharged from the service and he moved to Brewster,
|
|
New York. Things were quiet, and the year went by uneventful. But on
|
|
January 19th 1968 at 4:30 in the morning Dean had another extraterrestrial
|
|
contact, this time it would change the rest of his life.
|
|
|
|
Dean woke up at that hour and saw a bluish shimmer in the upper corner of
|
|
the room.He also heard an incredible high frequency buzzing sound.
|
|
Gradually, an object materialized about three inches in diameter, round,
|
|
resembling an old fashion microphone.
|
|
|
|
This object came nearer and nearer until it halted before Dean's face at
|
|
a distance of no more than a foot. This object stood their,suspended in mid
|
|
air and continued to oscillate. As Dean watched, something projected itself
|
|
from the center of the disk and extended out four or five inches, it
|
|
resembled an "ice pick". It seemed to Dean that it was some type of probe
|
|
and came to within three inches of his forehead. The probe then emitted a
|
|
very intense vibration that shook his head and neck. Dean lay in bed
|
|
helpless, but not paralyzed. The object then became quiet, then it
|
|
disappeared.
|
|
|
|
The next day, Friday morning, Dean got into his car went to a store and
|
|
began buying graph paper, triangles, compasses and various drafting
|
|
instruments. The buying spree did not seem to be under his control, nor did
|
|
he understand why he was buying these things.
|
|
|
|
Dean collected his purchases and went home and for the next three weeks
|
|
began making drawings of various types of alien machinery. Dean did not
|
|
know why he was doing this, but thought this Donestra person might have
|
|
something to do with it. Dean had no idea of what the devices were that he
|
|
was drawing.
|
|
|
|
The drawings were done in an unusual manner; Dean had no notion of what
|
|
he was doing,but felt strongly motivated to complete the drawings. He would
|
|
place a piece of graph paper in front of him and s bluish dots would
|
|
appear. The dots instructed him where to draw the lines. Also he seemed to
|
|
have a pre-knowledge of what color or shade to place in a particular part
|
|
of the diagrams. After three weeks and many hours behind closed doors Dean
|
|
Completed 32 diagrams and several pages of some unkown symbols.(Two of
|
|
these diagrams appear in this issue, as well as one page of the symbols.
|
|
|
|
Dean held on to these diagrams since 1968,then turned them over to me in
|
|
1982. He said that he was instructed to do so by Donestra and that I would
|
|
know what to do with them when the time comes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The diagrams have been looked at by many professional people,a physicist,
|
|
an electrical enginner, a professional artist, a master draftsman and even
|
|
Dr. Hynek looked at them. Everyone was very impressed with them, and the
|
|
draftsman stated that it would take someone with at least twenty years
|
|
experience to produce something of that quality.
|
|
|
|
Dean Fagerstrom continues his contacts till this day. It would take an
|
|
entire book to explore some of the material he has produced, and a lifetime
|
|
to research it. You may write to Dean Fagerstrom at One Allen Road, Putnam
|
|
Lake New York.

|
|
Entity Communication
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
This type of case invloves beings materializing to a witnesses out of
|
|
thin air. Since 1986, 10 cases of this type have been brought to my
|
|
attention in the Hudson Valley. Since the publication of my book Night
|
|
Siege, The Hudson Valley UFO siightings in 1987 and my previous articles in
|
|
UFO UNIVERSE, I have received well over 50 letters from all over the
|
|
country from people who experienced this type of contact.
|
|
|
|
In over 80% of the cases the time of the contact seems to be from 2-4 A.M
|
|
and the place , the witnesses bedroom. The stories are very similar and
|
|
they tell of the witnesses being woke up by the being,not physically but by
|
|
a strong mental impression. The beings are usually described the same, tall
|
|
slim, with long hair(Mostly blonde but, in some rare cases black).The
|
|
majority of the beings reported are male, with very few females reported.
|
|
It is interesting to note that the tall blonde beings seems to be taking
|
|
part in this type of contact, while the little Greys are responsible for
|
|
the abductions. In this type of contact 92% of the contactees were women.
|
|
|
|
Many times some type of information is given to the witnesses.The
|
|
information is usually to predict major natural catastrophies and future
|
|
UFO sightings. In all the cases explored none of the information that is
|
|
given to the person contacted checks out. In most cases the person is
|
|
paralyzed while the enitity proceeds with the communication. In all the
|
|
cases explored the witnesses is never allowed to speak.
|
|
|
|
Sighting with Telepathy
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some people who spotted the Hudson Valley UFO felt a strong connection
|
|
with the UFO and themselves. At times they felt as if the object(or the
|
|
intelligence inside the object) could read their minds. After these
|
|
sightings these witnesses continued to feel a strong bond between the UFO
|
|
and themselves. These people who had this feeling during their intial
|
|
sighting in the Hudson Valley, continued to have additional sightings, some
|
|
later experienced one type of contact listed above. These reports are
|
|
fully documented in my book NIGHT SIEGE, which was co-authored with the
|
|
late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob Pratt.
|
|
Prearranged UFO Photos?
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
We have seen many UFO photographs in the past twenty years. In some cases
|
|
it seems that the photograph was the result of more than an accident. This
|
|
may be the case of Travis Ward a Greenwich resident who on January 22 in
|
|
the early morning hours took the following UFO photo. Was his camera set up
|
|
at the right place at the right time? Or was it more than a stroke of luck?
|
|
|
|
CE-III Cases
|
|
_____________
|
|
|
|
|
|
The number of CE-III cases that have been reported to me involve the
|
|
little grey humanoids in and around the Hudson Valley of New York. These
|
|
cases seem to be on the rise since August of 1987 and are currently under
|
|
investigation. In some of the cases contact was made without the classical
|
|
abduction. Many reports that have been brought to my attention all seem to
|
|
be of the classical "grey" beings described in the books, COMMUNION and
|
|
INTRUDERS. At times these creatures have been reported around a a UFO that
|
|
is close to the ground,but sometimes no UFO is seen at all.
|
|
|
|
If you had a CONTACT experience I would like to hear from you. You can
|
|
write me at PO Box 4218, Greenwich, Ct 06830
