This is one case that does not get as much attention as it should. Four young men go on a fishing and camping trip only to have their lives changed forever.

The four men do remember the craft approaching them and signaling it with a flash light. When they get a shore, the next thing the remember is seeing only embers of a former roaring fire.

While hypnotic regression is always questioned in these cases, the four men were separately hypnotized and recalled the same tests and other details of what happened.

I do remember they were on a TV show (I can't remember which one) and two of the members believed it was all a bad dream. The other two stated it was real. Whatever the case, something sure did terrify them, and they did shine their flash light on a craft of unknown origin.

One thing I want to add is the aliens they describe are different than the pop culture grays. That has always helped their case, in my view.

I have one event in my entire life that is similar, and were it not for my neighbor I never would have know it happened - I still don't believe it LOL.

In the mid-sixties when I was a teen I was sitting on the front steps of the house on Long Island. As I sat there I noticed a light in the sky that I told myself was a plane, probably a jet airliner. It didn’t even dawn on me that this was a picture I should have only seen at night as it was a sunny afternoon. I wasn’t looking at a jet airliner’s headlights, I was looking at a ball of light; I should have been looking at the plane itself as it was daytime. This shows that seeing Unidentified Flying Objects in the sky were not a default thought in my life at that time. I defaulted to the only thing I knew I would see in the sky - a jet aircraft, and never questioned it.
As it came towards me out of the north and got closer, it suddenly seemed to slow down, which caught my attention. Then it seemed to almost stop. As I watched, after what seemed to be a few seconds, it began to move again. It suddenly banked off to its right (west) in a small curving loop-like pattern, looped to its left and shot out to the east at an incredible speed. THEN the lights went on in my head. I just sat there and said – “WOW ... a UFO.”
For most people this is where the story ends; they see a craft, it does something odd, end of story; but not for me. As I sat there wondering what the heck I had just witnessed, I suddenly became ill. It seemed to be getting worse the longer I sat there. I had to lie down. I slowly got up and then tried to get to the lounge on the side patio. I made it as far as the garage and had to stop. As I leaned on the small work table my father had built onto the wall by the garage door I seemed to be getting worse. What was happening? I finally staggered around to the side patio and crashed on the lounge-chair.
When I finally woke up, I was very groggy. My mother walked out and asked if I was OK; she said I had slept for a couple of hours or so. I told her I was OK, and then I noticed my father at the end of the driveway talking to our neighbor from across the street. He called me over and asked a strange question. It seemed my neighbor had been working in his yard and saw me sitting on the steps. My neighbor said he had heard a noise, turned around to see what it was, looked back and I was gone. I had - vanished off the front steps? It needs to be said that he was noticeably upset by this picture. I said I had no memory of anything like that, and said I probably went back into the house. I was not putting two and two together at this point, but he said there was not enough time for me to have moved and gone anywhere. It would be like you standing and talking to someone, you hear a noise and look to see what it was, finding nothing you turn back, and the person you were talking to - is GONE. Since I had no memory of anything happening, none of this made any sense to me. Maybe this was when I stumbled into garage? But this still doesn’t answer the question as to why I had gotten sick. It would be another 30 years before this event resurfaced because of what I was reading. I have no idea LOL.

Thank you for sharing that UFO experience, onlychild. There are many more untold stories to the ones that are known. It takes courage to come forward, and hopefully we here will embrace that.

Then there were the - objects - that used go by the back of the school where our smoking break area was. The strangest was the single craft that just moseyed along taking its time ... then, suddenly, it disappeared from front to back - like it was flying into something - but ... there was nothing there to fly into

What a powerful revelation, Onlychild !

Thanks for sharing that with us.

It is so important for people to come forward and give witness to what they have experienced in their lives, in relation to UFOs & abduction.

I see that now, after holding back for over forty years of my experience from when I was in the military.

Thanks again for coming forward.

People need ONLY ONE experience to prove that SOMETHING is going on. From that point it is time to hit the books. Unfortunately, history has erased what we need to know over the last 5000+ years; it's time to restore that information. Everyone needs to stop focusing on these events because it doesn't get you anywhere. What are you looking for? Proof? Proof is a far cry from answers to questions like WHY has this been going on

We are caught in a proof rut. Everyone wants proof. You should have that much by now - time to take it to the next level.
