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.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
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

Contact of the Fourth Kind
|
|
|
|
(Abductions in the Hudson Valley area of New York)
|
|
|
|
By. Philip J. Imbrogno
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over the past five years the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area
|
|
have been the scene of a massive number of UFO sightings. The numbers of
|
|
reports are so great that I believe this area has the highest number of raw
|
|
UFO sighting reports in the entir e world. These reports are documented in
|
|
my book NIGHT SIEGE THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO SIGHTS which I co-authored with
|
|
the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob Pratt.
|
|
|
|
I have been asked over the years by many UFO researchers if there have
|
|
been any close encounter-abduction type cases in the Hudson Valley . My
|
|
answer to most was No.Only to few did I admite that there were abduction
|
|
cases and plenty of them. This denial of such cases was at the request of
|
|
Dr. Hynek since he wanted NIGHT SIEGE to be a documentation of the many UFO
|
|
reports in the Hudson Valley.D. Hynek also wanted to keep these cases quiet
|
|
until we had more data about the sightings in the area.
|
|
|
|
With so many reports over the years and with the sighting still
|
|
continuing it was only a matter of time before the growing number of
|
|
Abduction cases in the Hudson Valley had to be dealt with.
|
|
|
|
To this date I have been contacted by at least 75 people who feel as if
|
|
they had more than a sighting. Of the 75 there are 25 that would be
|
|
suitable for further study.Of these twenty five ten come from professional
|
|
backrounds.All do not want any type o f publicity. I will explore two of
|
|
these cases in this article. At the witnesses request, I have changed their
|
|
names to protect them.I would also like to inform the reader that Whitley
|
|
Strieber, author of the best selling book COMMUNION experiences took place
|
|
in the Hudson Valley area. Since the publication of his book many people
|
|
have come forward with incredible stories,people who would otherwise would
|
|
have kept silent.
|
|
|
|
On July 2 1987 I received a call from a 36 year old woman from Toms River
|
|
New Jersey who I shall call Gail. Gail was very troubled on the phone and
|
|
insisted that she talk to me about a UFO related experience that she had.
|
|
During the last part of June (1 987) as she was lying down on her bed, she
|
|
felt some what uneasy as if someone was watching her.The time was Ten PM.
|
|
She then heard a voice say" We have come for you..You will not be hurt."
|
|
She then realized that her entire body was paralyzed and that she could
|
|
only move her eyes.Gail was lying on her back and noticed that three beings
|
|
stood in the doorway to her bedroom. She was alone in the house at the
|
|
time,but does live there with her seventeen year old daughter who was away
|
|
visiting her father in Croton Falls N.Y. Gail is divorced.
|
|
|
|
Three beings were dressed in something that looked like tightly fitting
|
|
jumpsuits and stood in a single row,one behind the other. The leader,
|
|
according to Gail seemed to have a problem getting into the room. It was as
|
|
if sometype of invisible sheild was blocking his way. He lifted up his
|
|
hand and pressed them against the invisible sheild,then he put his
|
|
hand>4^[e light in the hall was dim,and she could not see their
|
|
features. She noticed they were about five feet tall with very long arms.
|
|
|
|
The leader then took some type of rod out from a side pocket and turned
|
|
the bottom of it. The rod then glowed with a green light and he passed it
|
|
over the doorway area. They then walked into the room without any effort.
|
|
As they entered the room still in a single file she noticed that they had
|
|
large heads and eyes that looked like a cats which wrapped around their
|
|
heads. She never heard them talk but heard all kinds on buzzing noises in
|
|
her head when the leader communicated with the others.
|
|
|
|
Gail tried to scream but could not,she could only move her eyes.The leader
|
|
placed himself on her right side and then one of them went to the foot of
|
|
the bed and the other on the left side of the bed. The beings on each side
|
|
of her then placed their hand s under her head and raised it up. She then
|
|
noticed that the one on her left took a tube of what like like a narrow
|
|
roll of white cotton and started pushing it up her left nostril.At that
|
|
moment she felt extreme pain in her head and then started to lose co
|
|
nscious. She felt as if she was falling from a great height,then she does
|
|
not remeber anymore.
|
|
|
|
The next thing she recalls is waking up at 8am with a very bad headache.
|
|
As she walked to the bathroom her nose (both nostrils started to bleed. She
|
|
felt as if something was stuck up her nose,but nothing was there. She
|
|
looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed her nose was swollen and
|
|
puffy.She she noticed a rash on her neck,legs and slightly on her arms.
|
|
|
|
She had hoped that the experience from that last night was a dream and
|
|
tried to block it out of her head. When her daughter arrived home that
|
|
night she told her about what happened.Gail told me that before she even
|
|
finsihed with her story her daughter s tarted shaking and then told her
|
|
that on the same night, about the same time she and her father were
|
|
followed by a UFO on route 116 near Croton Falls New York. She described to
|
|
her mother a large dark craft triangular in shape that paced the car for
|
|
five m inutes above tree top level.
|
|
|
|
I found this report very interesting since Croton falls is near the
|
|
border of Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York and that loney route
|
|
has been the site of more than one Close Encounter over the past five
|
|
years. I also found it interesting that both mother and daughter had a
|
|
experience with the paranormal at the same time.
|
|
|
|
There is more to this case than meets the eye. The daughter and father
|
|
accrording to my findings may have had as much as thirty minutes missing
|
|
time. If this is so and if both were abducted then the experience happened
|
|
to father,mother and daughter at t he same time!.
|
|
|
|
Gail's rash and headaches continued for a few days then disappeared. I
|
|
plan to have Gail undergo hypnosis in the near future by a certified
|
|
psychologist. The story does not end here. Several weeks latter I received
|
|
a call from Gail telling me that it ha ppened again. She said"Those
|
|
creatures came back the same time and they did the same thing"She
|
|
continued"It was as if I was watching a movie of the first time they
|
|
came,they did exactly the same thing.Including having trouble getting into
|
|
the doorway to th e bedroom.My daughter was once again away visiting her
|
|
father."
|
|
|
|
This case is still under study, but intial findings indicate that both
|
|
Gail and her daughter may have a history of interactions with the
|
|
intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second case I would like to cover took place on July 19th 1984 during
|
|
the peak of activity in the Hudson Valley. the sighting involved a Close
|
|
Encounter, Missing time and abduction. If this was a real expereince then
|
|
the implications are fantastic. In all the cases that I chose to study all
|
|
the witnesses related the truth,or what they thought was the truth.There is
|
|
no doubt in my mind that their stories are not hoaxes since none would have
|
|
nothing to gain by going public with their experiences.
|
|
|
|
Bill (as we shall refer to him) is a thirty two year old computer
|
|
programmer for a major scientific-engineering corportation that helped
|
|
design the major componets for the new NASA Hubble space telescope. On July
|
|
19th 1984, at about ten-thirty pm, Bill w as leaving work and heading west
|
|
on Highway I-84. As he approached the Taconic Parkway ramp in Dutchess
|
|
county New York he noticed a very bright almost circular object off to the
|
|
north. The object seemed to be just sitting there in the sky and the lights
|
|
w ere very bright white. As he watched the object it began to move and it
|
|
was at that time he noticed a dark mass behind it which blocked out the
|
|
brighter light polluted night sky. He continued to drive on 84 and soon
|
|
lost sight of the object. He then brushe d the entire incident off his mind
|
|
and thought"Oh it must have been those guys from Stormville flying those
|
|
planes faking a UFO" He then drove on listening to his radio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He then turned off the route 52 exit near Stormville New York and began
|
|
traveling north. The time now was close to eleven PM and the roads were
|
|
quite desolate. He came to a clearing where there was a large field and
|
|
noticed a large dark mass sitting in the field about 200 yards from the
|
|
road. At first he thought that it was a new home,but then he knew there was
|
|
no house there since he went this way just last night and the field was
|
|
empty. As a matter of fact Bill drove this way home and passed the field
|
|
everynight and never saw a house there.
|
|
|
|
Bill slowed down the car"This thing was huge and dark",he said.The
|
|
strange thing was it was almost the same shape as a big barn,but it seemed
|
|
more tapered toward the sides and very smooth. As he watched, the dark
|
|
object rose into the air without a sound . This really upset Bill since he
|
|
was the only car on the road. The object then rose higher and higher. All
|
|
that Bill could see was the dark mass slowly rising into the air. It was
|
|
now about twice as high as the trees and it moved slowly towards Bill who w
|
|
as still in the car. Bills radio then started to sound "funny" he said that
|
|
the music on the radio sounded like a tape player ,playing music with very
|
|
weak batteries. The voices and the music sounded out of tune.
|
|
|
|
Bill then put his car into gear and sped away from the object. His heart
|
|
was racing as he drove up the road at about fifty miles and hour.Bill then
|
|
lost sight of the object and continued to drive at a slower rate of
|
|
speed.After several minutes he notice d a glow up ahead over a hill. As he
|
|
approached the crest of the hill there the object was! It was about 300
|
|
feet above the trees and was all lit up with rows of white and yellow
|
|
lights. He then stopped his car and turned off the engine and the lights.
|
|
He was hoping that who ever was in the thing would not see him. The object
|
|
then turned off its lights and he could see this huge dark mass slolwy
|
|
drifting toward him. The object passed right over his car,he could now see
|
|
its shape,it was triangular. Bill told
|
|
me"I don't want to make light of this,but the ship looked like one of the
|
|
star destroyers in Star Was" The underside was the same shape,although I
|
|
did not see the top.
|
|
|
|
The object passed over Bill, as he looked up he saw circular areas
|
|
underneath the UFO. These circular areas seemed to be like tunnels leading
|
|
into the object. Inside these circular tunnels there was a white
|
|
flashing,similar to the flashing of a white st robe light (we had several
|
|
reports of this white flashing effect from past CE cases in the Hudson
|
|
Valley, also the circular areas have been reported numerous times before).
|
|
Bill told me there was no sound.He estimated its size to be at least 300
|
|
feet from end to end.
|
|
|
|
Then something strange took place. The last thing Bill remembers is
|
|
watching it go over his car,he did not see it leave. The next thing he
|
|
knows he is at the bottom of the hill 600 feet from the position he was
|
|
when the UFO passed over his parked car. T he object itself was gone. He
|
|
was not sure what time it was when he watched the object passed over his
|
|
car,but he feels it was most likely about eleven-thirty PM. The time was
|
|
now tweleve -fifteen. He started his drive home upset and with a very stiff
|
|
neck .
|
|
|
|
|
|
When he arrived home he told his wife about his sighting. She was worried
|
|
to begin with since he was almost and hour late. That night Bill woke up
|
|
yelling in the night"saying get away from me!" His wife said that the
|
|
nightmares continued for a while at least twice a week . Bill told to me
|
|
that the he was not sure of what the nightmare was, but he knew something
|
|
was after him. As time went on Bill was afriad to drive at night alone. He
|
|
even had to insist to his boss not to put him on the evening or night
|
|
shift at his job. Finally Bill wanted to find out more since the experience
|
|
of the UFO and the fearful dreams tormented him. It wasen't until 1987 that
|
|
Bill contacted me and told me his story. Bill Had seen Budd Hopkins(author
|
|
of the book INTRUDERS) on a n umber of shows and asked me if would be
|
|
possible for him to be hypnotized. Hearing Budd on TV talk about the
|
|
abductions made him fearful and he wanted to make sure that this did not
|
|
happen to him. I arranged to have Bill meet with a certified psychologist
|
|
that I occasionally use to perform hypnosis.The following is a brief
|
|
transcript of Bills encounter under hypnosis. He first related seeing the
|
|
object on 84 and then the object in the field and then in the sky over the
|
|
hill, it is then that his voice become s fearful.
|
|
|
|
Bill" I see it now its that thing! Its coming in my direction!. Iam going
|
|
to turn off my car lights. maybe then wont see me and go away. Its
|
|
huge......Oh my God what is it!. Theres someone standing in the road he is
|
|
now walking toward the car. Who are yo u!...... He's saying something to me
|
|
"don't be fearful we need you...you have been selected". Selected for
|
|
what,get away!. I feel strange like I am floating in the air,its all dark.
|
|
I am now on this table and these guys are all around me,six of them. Two a
|
|
re at my head and two on the sides(two on each side). My legs and arms are
|
|
like dead weights I can't move them.
|
|
|
|
(Bill is then asked to describe them)
|
|
|
|
"These guys are small, large heads with round eyes,the eyes are all black
|
|
I can see no pupils in them,they remind me of sharks eyes. They are dressed
|
|
in sometype of black and white skin type suits. I can't see their hands.
|
|
The one at my head is moving so me type of device that looks like a
|
|
portable car vacuum cleaner up and down the left side of my head. It
|
|
vibrates my entire head,it feels like a drill going through my head...
|
|
STOP! it hurts.. He tells me that they are looking for something and found
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
I now can feel my legs and arms they are allowing me to get up. They are
|
|
very small only up to the bottom part of my chest (Bill is six foot one
|
|
inch) The others are now over some type of pannel. Two of them are leading
|
|
me by the arms. I asked them where they were from"The one on my right
|
|
leading said"We are from here" I didn't understand the answer. I asked him
|
|
if they planned to let me go. he replied "Yes but we will see you again" He
|
|
told me that they need us because they have trouble living in our wor ld.
|
|
He said they come from a place which is very ugly when compared to our
|
|
world and they would rather live here,but can't. I told him that I would
|
|
remember and tell every one about this. He said I would remember in time
|
|
but there are forces in your own(?) which will stop you from telling
|
|
anyone about this experience." Bill then found himself back in the car.
|
|
Bill now recalls every aspect of the experience. It was a very real
|
|
experience to him.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are about a dozen other cases similar to Bill's and Gail's.In The
|
|
Hudson Valley area.Can all of these people who have had UFO abductions and
|
|
sightings in this part of the country be experiencing sometype of mass
|
|
hysteria? I don't think so. The evid ence indicates that there is some type
|
|
of non-human intelligence at work. If the case histories of the total
|
|
experiences are true then we all better work together to get to the bottom
|
|
of this.
|
|
|
|
In 1987 Peter Gersten a Peekskill New York attorney put together a new
|
|
organization called CONTACT. Peter who is known for his work in obtaining
|
|
UFO related documents from goverment agencies organized CONTACT in response
|
|
to the great number of Close Enc ounter cases in the New York area. Peter
|
|
had some of the top UFologist flown in from all over the country to meet at
|
|
his Peekskill home. Amoung them were Tracy Torme, Budd Hopkins, Jim Mc
|
|
Cambell and this author. On September 27 CONTACT organized a free UF O
|
|
public conference in Brewster New York. The theme of the conference was to
|
|
explore the adbuction phenomena and the possibility that some people have
|
|
been in contact with a non-human intelligence.Speakers at the conference
|
|
included John Keel. Whitley Stri eber and Budd Hopkins. Over 900 people
|
|
attended the 12 hour conference and 200 filled out forms who felt they had
|
|
a contact experience.
|
|
|
|
Then during the first several months of 1988 Peter Gersten dissolved
|
|
CONTACT and as of the date of this publication CONTACT is no longer in
|
|
existence. The reasons for this are not clear but Peter still maintains a
|
|
UFO Hotline where callers can get up to date information about UFO
|
|
sightings. The caller can also leave their name and report their own
|
|
sighting on a tape.The UFO hotline number is 914-739-6830.
|
|
|
|
If the reader would like to reach me to report a sighting or encounter I
|
|
can be reached at PO Box 4218 Greenwich, Ct 06830.
