(...) Terrell Copeland, a former U.S. Marine, traveled the farthest to attend the "secret" meeting, driving 600 miles from rural Virginia. Copeland's foray into the paranormal began two years ago with a UFO sighting he said was captured on his cell phone from his apartment in downtown Suffolk, Va. "It was an orb of light," he said. "Just a big ball of light. It wasn't moving. One was solid white. The other was directly across the street from it ... up 300 feet above ground and was changing colors very rapidly. "This is ... this is not usual. Something's wrong here. Maybe I am in over my head. I'm not supposed to be looking at this stuff," Copeland, 27, who drives forklifts at a warehouse for a living, recalled thinking.

But after the video of what Copeland said he witnessed in the sky was posted on YouTube, he said a strange visitor came to his front door. "I woke up from the nap by the sound of someone trying to enter my apartment," he said. "And I said, 'Who is it?' There was no answer. Still just, you know, you could see the door knob moving and like a scratching at the door. And I keep a firearm. It was on my table. And my thought was to get up and check.

"I was in complete paralysis. The only things I could move were my eyes. And I heard a voice through the door say, 'You don't need that weapon. We won't harm.'"

Soon after, Copeland said he started experiencing what he calls "missing time." During a span of two nights, Copeland said, he missed four hours -- not as a result of sleep.

In July 1987, when Jason Andrews was celebrating his fourth birthday at the family cottage in Slade Green, Kent, a sudden thunderstorm swept over the area. As lightning lit up the sky spectacularly, Jason began to mutter to himself a series of numbers. This alarmed his family – even more so when it turned out the numbers were complex mathematical equations that someone of his age would not be aware of in the slightest.

The family’s alarm was ratcheted up a notch when the windows of the house suddenly began to shake before Jason turned to them calmly and said: “They are waiting for me! I have to go!” As Jason went to leave the house, his father, Paul, stepped towards his son, and after a struggle with him pulled him away from the front door and subsequently from the trance that had taken hold of him with the arrival of the storm. As he did the so, the shaking and commotion outside the house stopped as abruptly as it had started.

The incident was largely forgotten by the family until 1995, when Jason suddenly confided in them that “strange beings” had been coming into his room since that day, and abducting him. He stated that a light would appear and he would find himself unable to move or speak. A tall figure would be there directing several smaller creatures who would take him to a round room where he would be placed on an operating table.

​True or not, the incidents turned into the book Abducted: The True Story of Alien Abduction which was written by Jason’s mother and Jean Ritchie. In it they theorized that Jason has remote viewing capabilities that had originally drawn the aliens to him. They have however been the subject of much criticism, not least because of the apparent lack to even consider a “rational” explanation and of manipulating events to fit their purposes.

In 1950 Hilary Porter was 5 years old and like many young children she loved to play outside, especially in the long grass fields behind her family home, as she was this sunny morning. This morning however she would be taken for the first time. Out of the long grass Hilary suddenly noticed a reptilian looking creature in front of her, grabbing at her and dragging her towards an impression in the ground. Once inside doors slid shut above them and they descended deep into the ground.

This was just the first of many abductions Hilary, who went on to work for the Ministry of Defense for a time in the 1970s, would suffer over her lifetime, sometimes “waking” from the experiences with scars and bruising, and always with a migraine headache.​She even has a metal implant in her ear, something she discovered when her husband ran his metal detector near where Hilary could feel the implant, as it sounded it’s alarm to announce the find.

By the early 1990s, Hilary was struggling to cope with the abductions and the isolation such events bring to people who experience them, and actively began to search for other people who had similar experiences to her. She met her future partner, Ken Parsons, who runs British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS) and on occasion speaks at seminars and conferences on the subject.

Although Hilary, states the abductions and strange phenomena around their home in Farnborough still happen to this very day, they are much less frequent than they were. Concerning the events she stated to the press: “I didn’t choose this life. I didn’t ask for any of this, but it has been happening for as long as I can remember!”

What constitutes an abduction report? Over the years UFO researchers have grappled to find an agreed definition of "an alien abduction." Arising from the well-known Hills case from the USA, a 1985 definition featured encounters with motor vehicles.

In a typical scenario, the victim is driving along a deserted road late at night, sees a UFO, momentarily blacks out, regains consciousness a "moment" or so later, then discovers that over an hour or two has mysteriously passed away from his life. Later on investigators may ask the witness to undergo hypnotic regression, during which he "remembers" that his car stalled and alien beings took him onboard the UFO. Many UFO abductees say they were given a medical examination, or a message before being returned to their cars with the command to forget what happened. (1)

An example from my catalogue would be:

The family of four were travelling by car and observed lights in the sky, before arriving home later than they thought they should have arrived. Next day, all four suffered from cold-like symptoms with Mrs L experiencing a sore left ovary, a sore throat and a bleeding vagina. After contacting a UFO researcher, the two adults under hypnosis, recalled aliens removing them from their car. Mr L recalled finding himself naked on a table somewhere, where a medical examination was conducted. The space, in which the table was located, had windows to it, out of which he could see tall buildings. Suddenly he found himself back in his vehicle.

2-2.3m tall creatures with a wrinkled appearance and long necks were present. They communicated telepathically with him.

Mrs L's recollections were "vague and blurred" compared to Mr L's. She recalled being on a table with 8-10 figures around her. She had no recall of a physical examination or communication between herself and the beings. Articles about the event appeared in local NSW papers and numerous television and radio stations, both on a local and national level carried the story. (2)

By 1987 a more general definition featured in the work of U.S. researcher Eddie Bullard:

"Abduction means the capture and temporary involuntary detention of a witness by extraordinary and perhaps alien beings aboard a flying craft of unusual design, for purposes that commonly include an event like a medical examination." (3)

From my catalogue:

A 65 year old woman consciously recalls a single abduction at age 63. She was lying awake in bed in a rural setting, when suddenly a being appeared. In the blink of an eye she found herself in a large, blue coloured room. Bright light seemed to be coming through the ceiling. Atmosphere and gravity seemed Earth normal. No unusual odours noted.

Four beings were visible. They were described as 180cm tall. Each had small, oval shaped head, and were intelligent looking. The eyes were almond-shaped, tapering upwards at the end. They had a small mouth, thin lips with a small nose. The skin was pale, pearly and soft to touch. On the hands she noticed four long, slender fingers but was unsure if there was a thumb or not. The small feet were covered in a "bootie". They wore a jump suit, blue-grey in colour, and there were no zips, markings or insignia on them. When they moved it was very graceful, more like gliding.

She was on a transparent, glass-like table, with no sensation of cold or heat. She saw there were a total of three tables in the area. A being examined her using thin pencil-like torches, with a light on one end. These were held against different parts of her body.

Two of the beings communicated with her telepathically. One was male and the other female. They informed her they meant no harm and told her they would see her again. She has no recollection of leaving the room, but next found herself back in her own bed. (4)

Bullard divided the events into a number of categories. These were:

highway hijack

bedroom intrusion

open-country appropriation

In another 1987 work, English authors Hilary Evans and John Spencer wrote:

In the stereotype abduction experience, the individual seems (but this is open to question) to be taken by surprise by an encounter with extraterrestrial beings; the witness is taken aboard the spacecraft and subjected, more or less involuntary to some kind of physical examination, which may include subcutaneous and even surgical probing, sample taking and even sexual operations leading in some cases to pregnancy. (5)

Recognising that some abductions are reported to involved a life-long interaction with alien beings, a 1992 Roper Poll provided the following explanation of an abduction:

The child is removed from his/her normal environment by small. Gray-skinned, hairless figures, and floated or carried into a circular, metallic craft hovering nearby. When inside the object the child's clothes are removed and he/she is placed on a table. Physical manipulation and palpitation follows. (6)

Also in 1992, the J Allen Hynek Centre for UFO Studies published an excellent paper that utilised the following definition:

1. A witness must be taken against his or her will from normal, terrestrial surroundings by non-human beings.

2. These beings must take the witness to another enclosed space that is not terrestrial in appearance and is assumed or known by the witness to be a spacecraft.

3. In this place, the witness must either be subjected to various procedures that appear to be examinations of some type, engage in communication (verbal or telepathic) with the beings or both.

4. These experiences may be remembered consciously or through various means of focused concentration, such as hypnosis, or by a combination of the two. (7)

The following year, after the successful Abduction Study Conference held at MIT in the USA, a group of participants in exploring a code of ethics for abduction researchers stated:

The abduction experiencer is defined as a person who reports experiences which conform to those elements commonly found in the abduction scenario as widely described in the literature (e.g. recall of an abduction; missing time related to recall of unidentified lights, objects or alien entities; dreams or dream-like experiences of alien entities or UFOs etc. (8)

Abductee and author Karla Turner provided a simple definition when giving a talk to the 1994 MUFON conference:

I am an abductee. I have been forcibly taken and controlled by non-human entities. (9)

In reviewing the definitions above I decided to go with the CUFOS one.

The Australian catalogue cases which I compiled have therefore been graded against a variation of the Center for UFO Studies definition of an abduction as follows:

1. A witness must be taken against his or her will from normal, terrestrial surroundings

2. By non-human beings

3. These beings must take the witness to another enclosed space that is not terrestrial in appearance and is assumed or known by the witness to be a spacecraft

4. In this place, the witness must either be subjected to various procedures that appear to be examinations of some type

5. Engage in communication (verbal or telepathic) with the beings.

For example, a grading of 3 indicates that the particular account meets 3 out of the 5 statements of the CUFOS definition. Note, that a grading of 4 or 5 would fully meet the CUFOS definition of an abductee. The following is an example of such a case:

In April 1991 a married, Melbourne woman related a series of events extending back some 14 months from that time. These included her six-year-old son reporting that five to six little men entered his bedroom and shone a "torch" at him. He felt paralysed and whilst there the men telepathically told him they would not hurt him, but examined him and pushed something up his nose. He described them as having grey skin, big heads and big black eyes.

The woman recalled an episode where something tried to physically pull her out of bed during the night. She also recalled an episode at age seven, which she thought was a dream, where three pixies entered her room and abducted her.

In 1991 she was regressed and this revealed:-

1. At age seven, six beings entered her bedroom and took her away to a room somewhere. After examining her they pushed something up her nose. She was told she had been chosen for some task, not revealed to her yet. She did not feel they were going to hurt her. She was floated back home and into her bed. She woke up and thought it had been a dream.

2. At age thirty-six, in 1991, beings again came to her bedroom and tried to take her away but she refused to go. Shortly after this, and while she was in bed with her husband, three small beings returned. They scraped both her and her husband with a silver "knife" telling her this was the last time for a while.

At some stage the beings told her she is to spread knowledge when they are ready. They also told her the device up her nose was to keep track of her. Later, she had an urge to leave Melbourne and moved to a country location. (10)

A female being coming to tell her she had been chosen and took her onboard

An alien being who became her closest confidante

During early adolescence intimate physical examinations occurred

Recalling at 13 years old being pregnant, but fetus removed

That she was positive that the beings are here to help and heal

1961 Tasmania 1 male Wayne [4]

Wayne, now a 35 year old man, recalled events, at age 18, which commenced at age four. He recalls blue-grey coloured aliens, with no ears, large eyes, and a big head. They had a small body, with clothing that finished at the ankles and wrists and blended in with their skin. He was placed on a hard table and given a medical examination. A box about the size of a cigarette packet was moved across his body as if scanning him. They inserted something like a needle up his nose which was a painful process. He can recall an associated bright light outside his bedroom window.

1962 NSW 1 female/2 male [4]

In 1974/75, the last of two abductions occurred (one at age eight, one at 20/21) to a 20/21 year old woman, which was partially recalled consciously and partly by hypnosis. She was in a moving vehicle with two men, in a rural setting when a UFO approached them, the area lit up and she became paralysed. She was taken by light beam to the UFO, where she found herself in a round, grey and white space.

Two types of beings were present, one short, one taller. The shorter beings of which there were one or two, had a big round head with a pointed chin. Their eyes were big and black, and there was a slit mouth with holes for a nose. Their skin was grey and wrinkled. They wore grey/blue metallic-like jump suits with a hood around their shoulders.

Two other taller beings were present. They also had big, black eyes, and slit mouths on the same type head and with the same skin. The shorter female was the boss, with the two taller beings, workers.

The woman's companions were also onboard. The female being seemed hostile and curious, whereas one of the males was indifferent to sympathetic in attitude to her. They communicated with her telepathically, with an instructional message that they meant her no harm.

A gynaecological examination was conducted on a table, and eggs taken from her. She was told her eggs were going to help found a new lease of life for their race. They also said they were refugees from a dying planet, and that we were/are also doomed. She has no idea how she left the space but then all three humans were back in the vehicle.

1967 NSW 1 female [4]

In 1967, a 20 year old woman recalled multiple abductions over the years. These recollections occurred partially consciously and partly under hypnosis. Fragmentary memories are of several shortish beings with big eyes, a line mouth, small nose, no ears and big heads. They were wearing an elastic style body suit, and moved like walking on air.

The beings communicated telepathically with her to say they were refugees from a dying planet, and they had difficulty in their reproduction. They also informed her she would forget the abduction, but that they would return. She was examined by the beings and something inserted into her left ear by a long, thin needle.

On board the UFO was a normal atmosphere. She met a being who made her believe it was tall and handsome, whereas it was really short, and there were also a group of old men who reminded her of a group of Greek philosophers.

Sep/Oct 1970 Sydney NSW 1 male [4]

One night in Sep/Oct 1970 in Sydney, a boy aged 15 noticed a red/orange glow in the bush close to his home. He took his dog and went to investigate. Getting closer to it he saw a glow illuminating the area. His dog became excited and dashed into the bush. There next appears to be a discontinuity in his physical and emotional reactions-an apparent period of "missing time". He next recalled seeing an owl fly past him and he could hear his own internal thought: "There's something I should remember." Strangely, he felt comfortable with this, lost interest in the glow and went home.

Regression in August and September 1992 uncovered an event at age three or four in Kent, England where he recalled a red glow in his bedroom. He found himself in a forest near his home with a female presence like a praying mantis. He then recalls floating in a vat of warm fluid.

Regressed to the 1970 incident, he recalls seeing two aliens outside a ship, then being inside the ship where he was examined

(UFORA91036. Keith Basterfield, Julia Elsbeth and Peter Jones.)

1972 Largs Bay SA 1 female "Carol" [4]

"Carol", a twenty-seven year old, housewife, reported a lifelong series of experiences which commenced with a CE1 when she was aged six. This was followed by other UFO experiences, poltergeist activity, telepathy, precognitive dreams, an out-of-body experience, lucid dreams, and hypnagogic imagery plus sleep paralysis episodes, amongst other things. Of particular interest was a recurrent nightmare of encounters with a strange dwarf in an unusual room. Memories of some of these events were triggered after watching an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment on abductions on television.

Under regression, recollection eventuated of an apparent abduction at age nine. One night in 1972 she was getting ready for bed when she saw an entity outside her bedroom window. One point two to one point five metres tall, it had a big head, a pointed chin, huge yellow eyes, a skinny little white coloured body which glowed, no nose or mouth, and no ears. She was then somehow floated up to a light in the sky which became a UFO. She has no recall of actually entering it, but next became aware of being in a room on a table lying on her back.

There were a number of entities in this room, with one particular one leaning over her. She could only see its head, as it was very close by. It had a big head, with a pointed chin, and dark black, almond shaped eyes and a yellow coloured body. She felt these beings were "doctors." A black "match" was applied to her leg above her right knee. The closest being told her telepathically that: "It's all right. Won't be long. Won't hurt." The shape in the ceiling and the shapes behind the orange glow faded, and her next recollection was of being in her own bed.

Partial recollections of a second possible abduction at age fifteen, ran into a memory block. A friend of hers participated in some of the experience, which involved a light illuminating a cabin they were occupying. Regression of this second woman confirmed parts of Carol's story but not the abduction.

The above material emerged at a time when the woman advised that she was undergoing therapy for being an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

A 60 year old man awoke with a feeling of confusion and an awareness of a presence. Michel wrote a note for his wife that he would be away for 10 days, but not to worry. He went outside, to see the rainforest tinged with a blue light. There was an apparent spatial distortion. Then a being 3m tall spoke to him. He was told he had been chosen to relay a message. The two of them were taken away by a spacecraft to a remote planet. Here he learned of many things. He was finally returned.

1979 Melbourne Vic 2300hrs 1 male Mark [4]

A man named Mark retired to bed one night at about 11 p.m. Shortly after closing his eyes he lost all sense of sound and feeling and found himself travelling in a tunnel through space. Looking forwards he noted a light at the end of the tunnel. His next awareness was of lying on a table in a "craft". He was medically examined by three beings. One of the beings seemed to be a female human, with long blonde hair. The other two were some one point five metres tall, fat, and of a dark brown colour. These latter two had plumpish faces, large eyes, a large nose, bigger lips and ears than us. They addressed him in English, and seemed like scientists. When they introduced a "scanner" to check him over he "freaked out" and woke up in his own bed. All his teeth felt numb and his knuckles were white.

Oct 1992 Melbourne Vic 1 female Sharon [4]

Sharon, a psychology graduate woke up one morning and told her husband of an experience during the night. She had been up late studying, and woke in a half sleep state. She woke to find the room brilliantly lit. She was then taken up into the light. Next thing, beings were around her and placed her on a table. An impression was conveyed to her that the process following would be uncomfortable but not painful. She got the impression they were going to take eggs from her ovaries. She then felt something going into her stomach. She was told not to be frightened. Then she was told she was going back and that she was going to feel the event was not real. Next thing she was in bed, conscious. Later she saw an item about abductions on TV.

7 Aug 1993 Belgrave Victoria [4]

Six people, three groups, one of three people, a couple, and a single male, in three separate vehicles independently reported their involvement in an highly strange incident. It appears all groups stopped their vehicles to watch a large object descend in a paddock, following which a group of tall entities emerged and approached the three groups. The couple next recalls being back in their motor vehicle, and both feeling ill, and that a period of missing time had occurred. Upon reaching home, and before going to bed, one of the women, Kelly noted a red, triangular mark beneath her navel and a small "cut" on her bikini line similar to a laparoscopy marking. This cut seemed only a couple of days old. Later Kelly was hospitalised for unexplained bleeding. Out of the car containing the three people, both women recalled being abducted onboard a UFO, and later finding physical marks on their bodies which were photographed. John Auchettl related finding confirmatory physical evidence at the site of the encounter.

Born in Finland in 1950 she has recollections that at age seven or eight she was abducted. She recalls being on a table of some kind, with bright, very white lights above her. A big, long needle was pushed into her chest. This needle insertion left her with a mole-like mark. On another occasion she was asleep at home, woke feeling paralysed when a being or beings appeared. They were 1.3m tall, with large, black eyes and a large head. Communication was via telepathy. They told her they meant no harm. She has fragmentary memories of four abductions in all.

About 1958 Gippsland area Vic 1 female [3]

"A young girl saw a UFO head down into a nearby forest during the night. She went to investigate. She remembers encountering "a small man" working on the outside of a strange object, and being signalled to stay away. The girl recollects being taken for a ride, ostensibly in the object she saw, and seeing an aerial view of her home town through the floor of the UFO. She does not remember how she got home, but clearly recalls getting a spanking for going to bed with dirty feet and soiling the sheets. Her left knee had been grazed."

1973 NSW 1 female Winnifred C.[3]

In 1973 a 40 year old woman experienced an abduction. She was asleep at home in a suburban setting, and her first memory was of lying on a table in a UFO. The table was a sterile looking, aluminium-like table, in a circular room. The room had three operating tables in one part, and seating in another. It was cold.

Two types of being were present. There were two of one type, 155cm tall, with an elongated head. No mouth or nose was visible and ears were set back. They wore silver suits and moved normally. Numerous of the other type were seen. These were 145cm tall with elongated heads. They were clumsy in their movements. The two in silver suits appeared in control with the smaller ones as servants. She saw other humans, including her sister, on board, on seats attached to the wall. They seemed to be in a trance state. The beings seemed indifferent to her and did not communicate. However, they did communicate with each other from their throats with sounds similar to that of a cricket.

An examination of her was carried out as they pummelled her stomach, although she could not see that they were doing. She is unsure how she returned to bed, but she can recall being in bed watching the small beings backing out of the room.

1974 Clifton Bore SA 1 male [3]

"A man hunting for fossils in flat desert country was suddenly approached by two short beings who beckoned him to come with them. He was taken into an externally small object, which was impossibly much larger inside. Twenty or more similar beings were also inside. He was offered a drink, then passed out. He awoke and found himself on the floor of the object. He saw two human female children in a cage-like structure who seemed to be in a trance. The man felt he had somehow been rejected by the beings. A doorway suddenly opened in front of him. He stepped out and found himself back on the desert floor. He rejoined a companion and found he had been away for one and a half hours."

1977 Belmont NSW 1 female Stella H. [3]

Sharing a caravan with her husband, a woman suddenly found herself outside the van in an "astral state." A beam of light shone on her and she was drawn into an elongated, wingless UFO. Several beings were present. Olive skinned with black eyes, they wore one piece, black, flying suits. Communication was by telepathy and a number of messages were conveyed to her. She woke in bed to hear the noise of the object leaving.

At a lecture Budd Hopkins was approached by a middle aged couple who showed him a set of unusual red coloured photos. They told Budd that they should have been in the photo but were not. Under regression, Jenny recalled an invisible UFO which took her from a playground as her husband took a photo. On board were several small figures. Jenny then found herself nude on a table and was given a gynaecological exam. She and the boys were then returned to the playground where she saw her husband, camera still in hand. They then all returned to normal. Under regression Sam recalled seeing the family being taken up.

Sep 1979 Jindabyne NSW 2 males [3]

Two young men, out hunting, reported seeing a bright white, spherical, light on the ground some little distance away. Next night it was seen again. In 1983 one of the men began recalling memories of a two hour time lapse on one of those nights.

He consciously recalled that a blue light surrounded them both as they went near the object. They were floated through a hatch into a grey coloured, rectangular room in the UFO. After being put on two "benches" they were examined by several tall beings. The beings were hairless, grey, and had grey bulges where we have eyes. Slit like mouths and flat noses, with no ears were described. During the examination, and without tearing their clothes, the beings connected "wires" to the men.

The reporting man, felt "used" as if a specimen. They were then returned to the original spot where they had been.

1982 Qld 1 female [3]

A woman, in her late forties, recounts that during sleep she found herself in a spaceship. The entities present, both male and female, were all human looking. There were also a few other human being abductees, present also. She would not let the entities examine her as she was pregnant. The beings were apparently disturbed at having made a mistake saying they did not touch pregnant women. One being showed her how the baby would look when born, which the woman says was accurate. This was followed by a tour around the ship. Her next memory is of being back on Earth in the countryside. Suddenly she found herself in her bed.

Ca 1988 Adelaide SA 1 female "Jan" [3]

A married woman. "Jan", went to bed one night and during the night had a very vivid experience which she believes was not a dream. She found herself in this white space. Present were three entities. They were some two point one metres tall, and covered in "gowns". She wasn't frightened as the beings emitted a beautiful feeling. She had a discussion with them. When she woke the next morning she had a vivid recall of the events of the night apart from the content of the conversation. Personality changes ensued subsequent to that night. Since then she has reported episodes of sleep paralysis and other unusual activity.

1988 Sydney NSW 1 male Peter Khoury [3]

On 12 July 1988 a 24 year old man had gone to bed in the family house, leaving his father and brother watching the TV. He came out three hours later to find the other two men asleep in front of the TV. They thought that only 10 minutes had gone by. Five aliens were involved. There were two tall gold types, and three small grey types in robes. There was ESP communication and a needle was put into his head. Under hypnosis recalls being in a room, not his own, in another place. Powerful lights beyond a doorway. Since then, anomalies experienced include a ball of light, explosions, electrical interference. Wife has seen some of these.

23 Jul 1992.

Returning home from taking his wife to the railway station, he returned to bed and fell asleep. All of sudden he sat bolt upright in bed. There were two female aliens on the bed. A blonde, and a dark-haired woman. After a while they simply disappeared. Later, Peter found a hair wrapped round his penis. DNA analysis was performed. The blonde hair DNA fitted only a female of Chinese Mongoloid origin as the owner.

Jul 1989 Adelaide SA 1 male/1 female [3]

A man was lying in bed trying to get to sleep when a low pitched humming noise was heard. His wife, lying alongside him, apparently asleep, said he was not to worry, do as they say. He couldn't work out what she meant, and suddenly found himself paralysed. Next he found himself floating along the hall passageway into the lounge. Entering the lounge he saw his son in the arms of a strange being, one point seven five metres tall, it was of a greenish/white colour. It appeared human-like.

Next he recalls lying down in a room. In this room was a non human being. He described it as having an oval shaped head, big black eyes, the shape of eggs. There was no nose, just two holes, and a small slit of a mouth. Then he was floated back and went to sleep in his own bed.

Next morning both he and his wife felt very strange. She can recall talking in her sleep, but not the words she used. She says she felt a presence during the night but was not afraid. She has a memory of being on a table with some people looking at her. She felt she had been investigated, then drifted back to her bed. Hypnotic regression of both witnesses confirmed the above details.

Feb 1993 Adelaide SA 1 female [3]

A three and a half-year-old girl told her mother about an occasion when "the boys" came through her bedroom window. She was taken into a craft by these beings, after her six-year-old sister, who had been present, was told by the beings that she had to go into the next bedroom. This event coincided with a time when the girl talked about monsters in her room, and became afraid to stay in the room, and began wetting the bed. However, the above details were not related to the mother until four to five weeks later.

A Mrs A. was out rounding up cattle when she came across a landed object resting on legs. Three male figures emerged and floated to the ground. They were of normal human appearance, wearing silver suits, silver boots and a hood over their heads. She was taken willingly into the object, into a room where there were, what today, would be called computer consoles. The beings communicated with her verbally and told her things about herself they should not have known. She was then returned to the ground.

Late 1956 Near Hughenden Qld 1 female Miss L. [2]

A 12-year-old girl, Miss L. was crossing a paddock on the family farm when she felt a strange force upon her, and heard a soft hum. She felt as if she was being lifted off the ground and fainted. She awoke to find herself in a strange, large room with two men in silver white ski-suits. There was no attempted communication by the men. After surveying the room, which featured a coloured galaxy display on one wall, the girl felt enormous pressure and again lost consciousness. The room was not furnished. She noted an arched doorway leading into a corridor; that there were porthole-like windows along one wall; and that the room had no joins or seams. She found herself back at the farm, but in a different paddock, with a huge saucer shaped object hovering above her before it subsequently ascended rapidly to the west. The girl determined that two hours had elapsed since she initially lost consciousness.

At this stage she shared a room with her mother and believes they examined both herself and her mother. The beings each had a glow of light around them, and for some reason she had a feeling of closeness to two of them. They felt female. This episode was recollected, when she later, for the first time saw a magazine picture of an operation.

At age 19 she recalls being taken from bed and floated out of the window up to a "spaceship," which had been hovering over the house.

Inside the UFO were four beings. There was communication. She felt happy about it-a wonderful experience. She had a very unhappy life on Earth and was given the choice of staying here or going with them. She decided to stay because of her children. The next moment she came to in the kitchen, and then went to bed. She also had childhood experiences. Aged four to five years, vague figures. Saw three versions of herself.

A 34 year-old woman related at least three unusual episodes. The occasions of interest to us involve finding herself in an alien environment which were the second and third of her three experiences. One night she suddenly found herself recalling that she had somehow been in a very large room where there were a large number of human-like beings, including a human child about age ten. The room showed no apparent source of illumination. It was warmly lit-a very light soft blue colour. Breathing was no problem, gravity was normal and the temperature was skin temperature. She can recall conversing with the child. On the following occasion she had retired to bed when she found herself drifting through tunnels. Suddenly, she was in a room. This time the people present were not human. They had pointed faces, large heads, and slanted very dark blue eyes. Their heads were quite swollen at the forehead, with their ears being little, with no lobes as such. They had thin bodies, were grey in colour and short in stature. O ne of the female aliens was carrying a baby. The baby had its arms outstretched and the witness asked to hold and nurse it. Suddenly, she knew she had to go and found herself back in bed. She quickly fell asleep. In her teens she underwent precognitive dreams, and later in life (continuing) precognitive visions.

In 1982/83 the most recent of four abductions occurred to a man, then 24-25 years of age. The event was recalled entirely by hypnosis. He was in a moving vehicle in a rural environment when the car engine stopped. It then started again and he first drove, then walked to the place of the event. On this occasion there was no UFO but he recalls other abductions inside a UFO.

4-6 beings were present, 90-105cm tall. Their heads were elongated and had very large, black, lizard like wrap around eyes. Mouth, nose and ears were indistinct. The skin was pale, off white to grey. No clothing was noted, but they had pointed feet. They moved extremely quickly like film sped up, and seemed indifferent to him.

The beings communicated with him, feeding information/images/pictures/colour directly into his mind which was instructional to worn of a global, Earth crisis.

After some two hours he walked away, then drove his vehicle from the scene.

He also recalls an event in a flat in Maylands WA, in 1988/89, but doesn't remember if it was a dream or reality, in which he was lifted up and carried off by small, squat beings. In 1990 he dreamt of being taken away by taller "people" wearing black capes.

A 31 year-old woman was vacuuming about noon one day when she felt ill. Suddenly three little beings just appeared in front of her. One being, appearing female, was some one point five metres tall, very slender with a very elongated face. The other two, appearing male, were much shorter, with chubby, broader faces. All three had large eyes, with a hint of a nose and mouth. Each wore shroud like cloaks. Telepathically the taller being spoke to her, to tell her she had to go with them. The woman refused.
