EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATIONS
EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATIONS
True Accounts of Contact
By Preston Dennett
Preston Dennett’s books are known for their cutting-edge original research.
Dennett moves out of the armchair and into the field. Extraterrestrial
Visitations continues his fascinating firsthand explorations into the UFO
phenomenon.
What makes this book different from the hundreds of other UFO books?
First, while most UFO books are re-hashes of old cases, Extraterrestrial
Visitations contains ten brand new original firsthand cases, each told in the
witnesses’ own words. Secondly, these are the most extensive and extreme
types of cases, each one involving missing time, a face-to-face encounter or
an onboard experience. Thirdly, eighty percent of the cases in the book are
from fully conscious memories, with hypnotic regression playing only a
minor role. And finally, many of the cases involve shocking and
controversial information that is rarely reported in the UFO literature,
including healing cases, underground bases, praying-mantis type ETs,
human-looking aliens, extraterrestrial prophecies and much more.
Inside this book, you will read about the following exciting cases:
--four teen-age boys encounter a glowing egg-shaped UFO on a remote
country road. At one point, they experience a period of missing time, with
each having different recall of the event.
--a young girl encounters a metallic UFO which follows her down the street.
Later, her own child began to report encounters, and the witness herself
realized that she too was an abductee.
--a gentleman sees a group of UFOs along with hundreds of others. Later,
on his way home, he is followed by one of the UFOs which strikes him with
a beam of light, beginning an ordeal that would change the course of his life.
--a woman is terrorized by gray-type aliens until she takes charge of her
encounters, and transforms them into fully conscious, positive spiritual
experiences during which she is taught about her past lives, how to heal
others and much more.
--a middle-aged couple have a lifelong series of contacts with friendlyhuman
like ETs, culminating in an encounter in Sedona, Arizona during
which they were invited onboard a craft and given much information about
the ETs. Later, the ETs returned to heal one of the witnesses.
--a woman has a series of encounters with gray/human-looking ETs,
including an incredible encounter during which she was rescued by the ETs
following a motorcycle accident on a lonely mountain road.
--a teen-age boy is abducted in full view of his mother and brother. He is
taken onboard for a period of six-hours where he undergoes many bizarre
and rare procedures.
--a woman has a series of sightings when she suddenly begins to channel a
gray-type ET, revealing much information about the ETs and the future of
our planet.
--a man discovers that he was abducted twice as a child and taken into an
underground base by Praying-Mantis type ETs.
--a woman experiences a lifelong series of intense abductions. In one case,
she and two friends are abducted together, taken onboard a craft where they
undergo an examination and other incredible procedures, making it one of
the best multiple witness abductions on record.
Extraterrestrial Visitations moves beyond the typical abduction scenario and
shows just how complex and varied contact with extraterrestrials truly is.
The book contains 270 pages, an index and a bibliography.

Beyond UFO Abductions
(excerpted from Extraterrestrial Visitations)
By Preston Dennett
The UFO phenomenon is extraordinarily complex, however the main focus
is undeniably face-to-face encounters or the onboard UFO experience. Still,
when people think of these types of close encounters, they often assume that
the experience is a terrifying event during which the unwilling victim is laid
out on a table and examined by emotionless gray-type Ets. While I believe
these types of encounters do happen, this is only a small part of the UFO
experience. In reality, people experience a much wider variety of
encounters. Contrary to popular opinion, onboard UFO experiences are not
always involuntary and terrifying. Many people experience encounters
during which they are actually helped or healed. There seems to be multiple
reasons why people are contacted by aliens.
My book, Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact
(Llewellyn, 2001) focuses only on those types of encounters which involve
considerable interaction between the witnesses and the UFO. Each case
involves either a face-to-face encounter, missing time or an onboard
experience. Although these cases are among the most extensive I have ever
investigated, at least half of them are not typical and move beyond the
standard abduction scenario.
The following case is a perfect example. Sherry Jamison
(pseudonym) worked first as a real-estate agent, then later returned to
school, earned a degree and became a licensed therapist. She has been
married for many years and has a full-grown child. She is both humble and
dignified, with a quick wit and a positive outlook on life. Looking at her,
you would never guess that she has had many bizarre experiences with
extraterrestrials.
Sherry’s first experience occurred when she was only eight. She lived
with her parents in rural New Jersey. One night in the early 1950s, Sherry
awoke to find herself outside her home, standing in a nearby field. She had
no idea how she got there, but looking up, she saw a small, metallic, saucershaped
craft hovering above her. It instantly swooped down and sent down
a beam of light directly on her. Says Sherry, “The craft was into a very big
craft…but what happened was, it put its light on me. I remember running
along the fence, trying to get away from it….I remember running along the
fence, and this craft was chasing me. I was trying to duck down and this
craft was chasing me….I was running and falling, running and falling.”
The next thing Sherry realized, the craft had struck her with a beam of
light and she was lifted aboard. “It was like a flashlight. It was a very
strong beam because I went right up into the craft. My sensation of fear left
me. I was so afraid when it was chasing me.”
At that point, Sherry remembered nothing but waking up the next
morning. At first she thought it had been a strange dream, but she realized
that she had a different outfit on then when she went to bed, and her clothes
were unexplainably dirty. Whatever had happened, it wasn’t a dream.
As she grew up, Sherry began to have bizarre nighttime experiences,
half-remembered dreams and recollections of gray-type aliens standing
around her bed. She began to awaken with unusual marks and scars on he
body. Over a period of years, she slowly began to connect her experiences,
and wondered if she was one of those people labeled as UFO contactees.
Of course, this was no sudden revelation. She knew something
strange was going on, but extraterrestrials? It seemed too outlandish to
even consider.
Then in the 1960s, Sherry experienced an event which left no doubt in
her mind that she was in contact with extraterrestrials. It remains one of the
strangest encounters I have ever investigated.
Sherry was driving alone in the middle of the night through the
Watchung mountains of New Jersey when she lost control of her motorcycle
and crashed. Because it was so late at night and the road was totally
isolated, there was no traffic at all. Sherry was totally alone.
Or so she thought.
Moments after the accident, Sherry was startled to see three strange
figures. She instantly recognized them as the figures she had seen before, in
her bedroom at night. Says Sherry, “When I was driving on a motorcycle
once in the mountains, I had an experience – these same people appeared to
me. They were like grays, more detailed, more white, not quite human. I
would say like a body suit on a human figure, a white body suit, not a gray
one, but maybe an off-white or a beige-gray.
“I was riding a bike and I slid my bike. I had bent the kick-stand
when I did. I didn’t hurt myself, but I had bent the kick-stand, and I couldn’t
move [it] to get the bike started. It was very dark. I didn’t see a mothership
or anything. But again, I call them aliens only now. I always didn’t know
what to call them. They were just my friends. There were two of them.
They looked at me and silently picked up my motorcycle, took the bar and
straightened it out into a kick-stand again. I nodded and kicked it. It was
just like, okay. I kicked it; we didn’t have electric starters at that time. I
kicked the motorcycle over and off I went.”
Sherry was astonished by the event. She was already shaken up from
the accident, but the appearance of the figures took her totally by surprise.
Says Sherry, “They were both right there. They were about a foot and a half
away. One looked at me. They both looked at the one doing it. They were
both like “grays” look, without clothes. They didn’t have any attire on or
anything on. They looked like grays except they were more humanproportioned.
Except they did have the dark eyes, but not as almond-shaped
as that. It was the only think dark that appeared on them.
“And I wish now I could have not been so worried and disturbed, or
that I could have paid more attention. But they weren’t threatening. They
just kind of nodded and went on their way….they looked almost luminous.
So it was kind of strange. It was very strange.”
Although that was Sherry’s most intense face-to-face encounter, she
continued to have a number of other close-up sightings of metallic craft.
Sherry’s case is difficult to classify. Although she did experience an
apparent missing-time abduction, she has also had an undeniably positive
encounter. She has no desire to be hypnotized, and is content to call the
aliens her “friends.”
It took Sherry a long time to conclude that she was having encounters
with aliens because the figures looked almost human, the only real
difference being that their eyes were larger and darker than humans. Sherry
is only one person of many who have moved beyond abductions.
Invited Aboard and Healed
In 1995, retired couple William and Rose Shelhart experienced a
missing time encounter with a UFO outside of Sedona, Arizona. As they
drove along an isolated road, they saw a light following them. It appeared
first ahead of behind them, as if playing a game of hide and seek. Suddenly,
the light zoomed down out of the sky and landed into a field next to their
car. The couple promptly lost consciousness. Their next memory was of
stumbling into a hotel hours later.
Realizing they had experienced missing time, they underwent
hypnosis during which they recalled that they weren’t abducted, but were
invited onboard. Says Rose, “We weren’t kidnapped or abducted. We
voluntarily boarded and we were welcome. We sought them out and we
climbed aboard, not being abducted as ‘in force.’
Rose was surprised at the appearance of the Ets. As she says, “They
looked a lot more like people than some of those sketches do. A lot more.
Their eyes were a little larger than any white person’s big eyes would be, but
they were just not enormous. They looked like they could pass for us if they
wished. And they glowed with a blue aura which made me feel reassured,
kind of on a mental level, that they were peaceful.”
Rose was also surprised by their clothing. “Something like a military
outfit, but not anything I have ever seen, and I’ve been in Europe and here
and so forth. But it would resemble that because they were all alike, but
more loose-fitting, but with belt. Uniforms, but it looked structured more
like, ‘I mean business.’
Another surprise was the lack of technological equipment on board.
“Oh, there were all kinds of lights, but very few actual gizmos like we have
on any aircraft here. [It was] like they didn’t need them. It didn’t look like
they needed too many things. It’s like they almost had mind control to get
the thing going. But there were little lights, I guess for monitors and things.”
Rose recalled other details regarding the Ets place of origin and their
intentions on Earth. William, however, was not a good hypnotic subject and
was unable to recall anything other than the craft landing and them being
invited onboard.
William had experienced an earlier terrifying episode with missing
time, so he was somewhat relieved that their encounter turned out to be
benevolent.
Later, William and Rose had another encounter in their isolated home
in Hawaii, which confirmed for them that the Ets were interested in their
welfare. His first clue occurred upon waking up one morning and finding a
strange mark on his body. Says William, “I woke one morning and I felt an
itch on my right foot and discovered three puncture wounds in a perfect
triangle. They were in the process of scabbing over. I sleep on a waterbed,
so nothing could have scratched it. My wife was the only witness. I felt
something itching on my right ankle, and that’s when I looked. Because
there’s no way possible in the night I could have done this, and that’s when
it happened.”
William was concerned by the marks because it was obvious that they
were not natural. But what could they be?
The answer came about two weeks later when the same incident
occurred again, only this time William was awakened by an unexplained
bright beam of light entering into his bedroom. Says William, “I woke in
the middle of the night with a bright light coming in the back window. It
lasted about thirty to sixty seconds. I froze and could not get out of bed to
look outside. My backyard is a jungle of coconut trees and plants. As I live
in the country, no car could get there in that time. When the light came in
the back window, it was just as bright as could be. I couldn’t believe it, and
there’s nothing in the back. There’s no way a car could have gotten in there.
I mean, that’s what it looked like – somebody’s headlight shining right into
the window. I remember waking up and seeing that. This was just kind of
shocking thing.”
William’s first instinct was to get up and investigate. Strangely,
however, he found himself paralyzed. Seconds later, he felt himself being
put to sleep. When morning came and he awoke, he immediately
remembered the incident that had occurred in the middle of the night. He
could only shake his head in wonder. Then he looked down to his right arm
and received an incredible shock. Says William, “My right wrist was
itching. The same thing happened – three puncture wounds in a perfect
triangle…I woke up and found those triangular pin-pricks on my right hand.
And this was the hand I used when I carried mail. This was in constant use.
And they were very fresh, because you could still see, they had just about
scabbed over. I showed them to my wife immediately. I said, ‘My God!
Look at this thing. It’s perfect. It’s a perfect triangle.”
William had worked for years as a postal worker and had developed
severe carpel-tunnel syndrome in his right wrist, as well as permanent
damage in his left ankle. However, immediately following the two above
incidents, he noticed a dramatic improvement in his health. “I went and got
myself a hot tub. I didn’t everything I could to take some of that pain away.
And it wasn’t until after my incident that things started to get better. I just
know that I progressed and started to get better. Since thin, I have been 9
percent cured….I am almost sixty-seven years old and I can hang off a
twenty-foot ladder placing the weight on my right foot and paint with my
right hand, day after day. I really don’t care if people doubt my explanation.
I know what I feel.”
William and Rose are the perfect example of people who have moved
beyond the typical abduction scenario. Not only were they healed, but they
have now become healers themselves. This pattern has turned up in other
cases. Says Rose, “Both of us have become more and more interested in
helping people in alternative healing ways. Even William, he has this
energy in his hands that he didn’t have before….now it’s like I feel this heat
coming out that’s really good. And people say they feel it out of me too.
And I say, ‘Oh, where did I get this from.’ I have a lot of good result stories
from the neighborhood. But I’m grateful, because I think it [the UFO
connection] has a lot to do with it.”
Six Hours Onboard a UFO
In 1972, when he was 12 years old, Jack Stephens was abducted from
his vehicle in full view of his mother and brother. He was lifted up inside a
beam of light and taken inside an enormous craft the size of a small building.
He experienced a six-hour-long encounter aboard the UFO before being
deposited back into the car.
The stunned family drove home, with most of the event shrouded in
amnesia. They recalled only a powerful light hitting the car, the engine
turning off and a slight floating sensation. Their next memory was the light
turning off, the car engine turning on and six hours had passed. It was a
typical missing time encounter.
Years later, as an adult, Jack bit down on an impacted wisdom tooth.
This caused a flood of memories to burst forth. Jack suddenly recalled
everything that happened.
In most respects, Jack experienced the typical abduction scenario. He
recalled being taken aboard onto the craft. He was laid out on a table and
examined. They poked at his feet, probed inside his mouth. Jack is unable
to recall the appearance of the beings, only that they were short and
incredibly scary-looking.
It’s what happened next, however, that makes Jack’s account unique
in UFO literature.
Investigators’ have long noticed that UFOs often hover over electric
power lines, as if they were drawing electricity into their craft. Jack is the
first abductee to witness this exact procedure from the perspective of inside
the ET craft.
After the examination, Jack was floated off the table and into another
room. The beings then placed him in a strange device which allowed him to
view the procedure. Says Jack, “We went straight up above the fog. I could
look out. The next thing, I was down in this thing. It was like a little clear
diamond-thing on the bottom of [the craft.] I’m in this thing and there are
like bungee cords on me. I sat in this clear diamond-shape – actually
suspended, it almost felt like bungee cords, but I could see everything
around. I got a 360-degree view. I could look everywhere. We drop back
down and we’re by my farm. We’re literally down in the pasture above this
ditch. And there are some big high voltage power lines, heavy-duty power
lines through there. You can just feel the electricity coming off.
“Well as we dropped down to this thing, whatever the clear thing I
was in, in the bottom, kind of got smaller. It was kind of like more of a
confined space. It seemed wide open to me before, and yet I was enclosed,
in kind of like plastic or glass.”
Jack was in awe. It felt like he was dangling below the craft with a
perfect view of everything around. The room he was in seemed to design
specifically for observation. In fact, the whole room would swivel towards
whatever direction he looked. “In places it didn’t move at all, like if I just
wanted to look one way, it just stayed there. But if I turned, it would move
all over. But if I just stopped and looked one way, it would stop and look
one way.”
At this point, the procedure began. “[They] were explaining to me
what they were doing. I don’t know what it was, but we went up to the
power lines. And after we got back down, that little thing I was in seemed to
kind of shrink up inside. [There were] four rotating things on each side of
this thing – the diamond or triangle or whatever it was – there were four
lights that started spinning around. And I could see them from where I
was….And I saw all those beams suck all together, come into one big beam
and hit the power pole, sucking the electricity out of it. And these were like,
I mean, LIGHTS! They all focused into one and they started sucking
electricity out of the power poles. I can’t describe it but I could literally feel
it going through my body.
“I remember being cold. That’s when they sucked up the electricity.
That is the most vivid part of the whole thing. We were up above it, a
telephone pole, maybe two telephone pole lengths above it. And all those
lights focusing into one super bright light – just pshew! Just literally seeing
the electricity coming out of there, and feeling it. It was just like it drained
everything, just took it all.
“Another thing, when I was up in that thing, we were above the fog,
just kind of floating above this fog. And when they went to go suck the
electricity out of the power lines, that fog just got out of the way. It just
opened wide up, just shew! – got out of the way, and I could see crystal
clear.
“Another thing, I remember my teeth kind of hurting when it was
sucking that stuff up. Just like when you're chewing on aluminum foil. I
remember feeling like, ‘Hurry up, get this thing over with.’”
While Jack recalls several other events, it was the above incident
which remains the most memorable. As can be seen, the aliens seem to have
intentions beyond just an abduction and physical examination.
Taken to an Underground Base
The standard abduction scenario usually involves a person being taken
inside a UFO and examined by gray-type extraterrestrials. But again, this
scenario is not as common as many might believe. Consider the following
case, in which a young man was abducted, not by gray-type Ets, but by
praying-mantis-type Ets. Nor was he taken inside a UFO. In fact, he
recalled being taken to an apparent underground base!
In 1967, twelve-year-old, Paul Nelson (pseudonym) was visiting the
island of Catalina with his parents. Also along was Paul’s best friend,
Michael (pseudonym.) The two boys decided to go inside their boat and
read some new comic books. Suddenly, however, they both experienced an
episode of missing time. Their next memory was of waking up the next
morning. While Paul was unable to convince his parents that anything
unusual had happened, both Paul and his friend knew that the event was
strange.
Two weeks later, Paul was alone in his Reseda, California home when
he had another strange experience. He was alone in his room when the door
began to rattle. He jumped up and threw it open. To his shock, he saw the
shadow of a small figure running down the hallway. He chased after it, but
found nothing.
Paul didn’t know how to explain these experiences and didn’t connect
it to the UFO phenomenon. However, afterwards he developed an interest in
UFOs and began to read up on the subject.
Many years later, he grew up, married, became a doctor and had two
children. Then he had a UFO sighting of a distant object in the daytime sky.
This renewed his interest in UFOs. He began reading about the missing time
aspect of UFO encounters when he realized that he had experienced missing
time.
Intrigued, he eventually underwent hypnosis to recover his lost
memories. Having read about UFOs, he expected to find that he had a
frightening encounter, during which he would be examined by gray-type Ets,
aboard a UFO using highly technological equipment. Instead, it was nothing
like this.
As Paul underwent the regression, his first surprise was that he was
not aboard a UFO, but instead appeared to be in an underground base. Says
Paul, “I was taken to a round-walled room. It seemed to me more
underground than it did onboard a ship. The walls had kind of rock-like
facet to them. And I was on a table…Yeah, rock-like walls rather than
metallic craft-type walls. It gave the impression that I was in a cavern
[rather] than in a ship…It was more of an underground feeling that’s true.
That is a little anomalous.”
Under hypnosis, Paul recalled his friend, Michael nearby, also being
examined. His next surprise was that the beings were what he expected.
Says Paul, “The beings weren’t the typical grays, they were more the
‘Praying Mantis’ type, as I later understood. The eyes were slightly bigger
than what is seen in the typical small gray, and a little more insectoidlike…
They wore tight-fitting uniforms, I believe. There was even a color to
them, but I can’t remember what the color was…tight-fitting jump-suit like
things. I think there was one in that bunch that had a tunic-type thing, more
looser fitting over it. I couldn’t tell how tall they were because they were
over me and I was on my back. So I couldn’t give you the exact height.
They didn’t look particularly tall though.”
Yet another surprise was the type of machinery in the room. Having
read a good deal about UFOs, Paul expected again to see complex
equipment. Instead, it all seemed amazingly primitive. Says Paul, “The
machines looked like typical military-type computer consoles rather than
alien-looking machines. There were lights and buttons. Well, I don’t know
if they were buttons, but areas that seemed to be for pushing. Colored lights
– I can’t remember what color off the top of my head.”
Paul recalled a very short examination, but otherwise, nothing
frightening happened. Never did he feel any fear. “I don’t remember being
particularly scared about the whole thing. In fact, I was a little intrigued by
it. I don’t remember anything painful occurring.”
Conclusions
As the above cases show us, it can be extremely difficult to categorize
a UFO experience. While there are definite patterns, encounters are as
individual as the people who have them. Witnesses, as a rule, experience a
wide variety of events beyond the abduction and examination. I am
currently working with several people whose experiences with ETs are
typically atypical. One case involves a southern California woman who has
had multiple encounters with gray-type ETs. She has several witnesses and
physical evidence to support the veracity of her encounters, which have
moved beyond the standard missing-time abductions and examinations and
evolved into fully-conscious encounters during which she has been healed of
various ailments, has been taught how to heal, and has been given other
spiritual information. She reports that the grays are very loving and
emotional.
Another case involves a lady who has had multiple encounters with
praying-mantis-type aliens. Her encounters have not been benevolent; her
health has suffered as a result. However, on a few occasions, the aliens told
her extremely personal information which proved conclusively to her that
they were very concerned with her life. They not only showed that they had
been watching her during her entire childhood, but they also gave her a
series of predictions, several of which have already come true. Some of the
information was so personal, that the witness refused to even discuss it.
While abductions and examinations appear to be the single most
common factor, there are a vast number of experiences beyond this. Again,
the conclusion is inescapable that extraterrestrials have a deep in humanity.
Why else would they take the time to fix someone’s motorcycle, heal
someone of carpel-tunnel syndrome or dangle somebody below their craft
show how they siphon electricity from power lines?
These are only a few of the cases you will find in the book Extraterrestrial
Visitations: True Accounts of Contact.
True Accounts of Contact
By Preston Dennett
Preston Dennett’s books are known for their cutting-edge original research.
Dennett moves out of the armchair and into the field. Extraterrestrial
Visitations continues his fascinating firsthand explorations into the UFO
phenomenon.
What makes this book different from the hundreds of other UFO books?
First, while most UFO books are re-hashes of old cases, Extraterrestrial
Visitations contains ten brand new original firsthand cases, each told in the
witnesses’ own words. Secondly, these are the most extensive and extreme
types of cases, each one involving missing time, a face-to-face encounter or
an onboard experience. Thirdly, eighty percent of the cases in the book are
from fully conscious memories, with hypnotic regression playing only a
minor role. And finally, many of the cases involve shocking and
controversial information that is rarely reported in the UFO literature,
including healing cases, underground bases, praying-mantis type ETs,
human-looking aliens, extraterrestrial prophecies and much more.
Inside this book, you will read about the following exciting cases:
--four teen-age boys encounter a glowing egg-shaped UFO on a remote
country road. At one point, they experience a period of missing time, with
each having different recall of the event.
--a young girl encounters a metallic UFO which follows her down the street.
Later, her own child began to report encounters, and the witness herself
realized that she too was an abductee.
--a gentleman sees a group of UFOs along with hundreds of others. Later,
on his way home, he is followed by one of the UFOs which strikes him with
a beam of light, beginning an ordeal that would change the course of his life.
--a woman is terrorized by gray-type aliens until she takes charge of her
encounters, and transforms them into fully conscious, positive spiritual
experiences during which she is taught about her past lives, how to heal
others and much more.
--a middle-aged couple have a lifelong series of contacts with friendlyhuman
like ETs, culminating in an encounter in Sedona, Arizona during
which they were invited onboard a craft and given much information about
the ETs. Later, the ETs returned to heal one of the witnesses.
--a woman has a series of encounters with gray/human-looking ETs,
including an incredible encounter during which she was rescued by the ETs
following a motorcycle accident on a lonely mountain road.
--a teen-age boy is abducted in full view of his mother and brother. He is
taken onboard for a period of six-hours where he undergoes many bizarre
and rare procedures.
--a woman has a series of sightings when she suddenly begins to channel a
gray-type ET, revealing much information about the ETs and the future of
our planet.
--a man discovers that he was abducted twice as a child and taken into an
underground base by Praying-Mantis type ETs.
--a woman experiences a lifelong series of intense abductions. In one case,
she and two friends are abducted together, taken onboard a craft where they
undergo an examination and other incredible procedures, making it one of
the best multiple witness abductions on record.
Extraterrestrial Visitations moves beyond the typical abduction scenario and
shows just how complex and varied contact with extraterrestrials truly is.
The book contains 270 pages, an index and a bibliography.

Beyond UFO Abductions
(excerpted from Extraterrestrial Visitations)
By Preston Dennett
The UFO phenomenon is extraordinarily complex, however the main focus
is undeniably face-to-face encounters or the onboard UFO experience. Still,
when people think of these types of close encounters, they often assume that
the experience is a terrifying event during which the unwilling victim is laid
out on a table and examined by emotionless gray-type Ets. While I believe
these types of encounters do happen, this is only a small part of the UFO
experience. In reality, people experience a much wider variety of
encounters. Contrary to popular opinion, onboard UFO experiences are not
always involuntary and terrifying. Many people experience encounters
during which they are actually helped or healed. There seems to be multiple
reasons why people are contacted by aliens.
My book, Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact
(Llewellyn, 2001) focuses only on those types of encounters which involve
considerable interaction between the witnesses and the UFO. Each case
involves either a face-to-face encounter, missing time or an onboard
experience. Although these cases are among the most extensive I have ever
investigated, at least half of them are not typical and move beyond the
standard abduction scenario.
The following case is a perfect example. Sherry Jamison
(pseudonym) worked first as a real-estate agent, then later returned to
school, earned a degree and became a licensed therapist. She has been
married for many years and has a full-grown child. She is both humble and
dignified, with a quick wit and a positive outlook on life. Looking at her,
you would never guess that she has had many bizarre experiences with
extraterrestrials.
Sherry’s first experience occurred when she was only eight. She lived
with her parents in rural New Jersey. One night in the early 1950s, Sherry
awoke to find herself outside her home, standing in a nearby field. She had
no idea how she got there, but looking up, she saw a small, metallic, saucershaped
craft hovering above her. It instantly swooped down and sent down
a beam of light directly on her. Says Sherry, “The craft was into a very big
craft…but what happened was, it put its light on me. I remember running
along the fence, trying to get away from it….I remember running along the
fence, and this craft was chasing me. I was trying to duck down and this
craft was chasing me….I was running and falling, running and falling.”
The next thing Sherry realized, the craft had struck her with a beam of
light and she was lifted aboard. “It was like a flashlight. It was a very
strong beam because I went right up into the craft. My sensation of fear left
me. I was so afraid when it was chasing me.”
At that point, Sherry remembered nothing but waking up the next
morning. At first she thought it had been a strange dream, but she realized
that she had a different outfit on then when she went to bed, and her clothes
were unexplainably dirty. Whatever had happened, it wasn’t a dream.
As she grew up, Sherry began to have bizarre nighttime experiences,
half-remembered dreams and recollections of gray-type aliens standing
around her bed. She began to awaken with unusual marks and scars on he
body. Over a period of years, she slowly began to connect her experiences,
and wondered if she was one of those people labeled as UFO contactees.
Of course, this was no sudden revelation. She knew something
strange was going on, but extraterrestrials? It seemed too outlandish to
even consider.
Then in the 1960s, Sherry experienced an event which left no doubt in
her mind that she was in contact with extraterrestrials. It remains one of the
strangest encounters I have ever investigated.
Sherry was driving alone in the middle of the night through the
Watchung mountains of New Jersey when she lost control of her motorcycle
and crashed. Because it was so late at night and the road was totally
isolated, there was no traffic at all. Sherry was totally alone.
Or so she thought.
Moments after the accident, Sherry was startled to see three strange
figures. She instantly recognized them as the figures she had seen before, in
her bedroom at night. Says Sherry, “When I was driving on a motorcycle
once in the mountains, I had an experience – these same people appeared to
me. They were like grays, more detailed, more white, not quite human. I
would say like a body suit on a human figure, a white body suit, not a gray
one, but maybe an off-white or a beige-gray.
“I was riding a bike and I slid my bike. I had bent the kick-stand
when I did. I didn’t hurt myself, but I had bent the kick-stand, and I couldn’t
move [it] to get the bike started. It was very dark. I didn’t see a mothership
or anything. But again, I call them aliens only now. I always didn’t know
what to call them. They were just my friends. There were two of them.
They looked at me and silently picked up my motorcycle, took the bar and
straightened it out into a kick-stand again. I nodded and kicked it. It was
just like, okay. I kicked it; we didn’t have electric starters at that time. I
kicked the motorcycle over and off I went.”
Sherry was astonished by the event. She was already shaken up from
the accident, but the appearance of the figures took her totally by surprise.
Says Sherry, “They were both right there. They were about a foot and a half
away. One looked at me. They both looked at the one doing it. They were
both like “grays” look, without clothes. They didn’t have any attire on or
anything on. They looked like grays except they were more humanproportioned.
Except they did have the dark eyes, but not as almond-shaped
as that. It was the only think dark that appeared on them.
“And I wish now I could have not been so worried and disturbed, or
that I could have paid more attention. But they weren’t threatening. They
just kind of nodded and went on their way….they looked almost luminous.
So it was kind of strange. It was very strange.”
Although that was Sherry’s most intense face-to-face encounter, she
continued to have a number of other close-up sightings of metallic craft.
Sherry’s case is difficult to classify. Although she did experience an
apparent missing-time abduction, she has also had an undeniably positive
encounter. She has no desire to be hypnotized, and is content to call the
aliens her “friends.”
It took Sherry a long time to conclude that she was having encounters
with aliens because the figures looked almost human, the only real
difference being that their eyes were larger and darker than humans. Sherry
is only one person of many who have moved beyond abductions.
Invited Aboard and Healed
In 1995, retired couple William and Rose Shelhart experienced a
missing time encounter with a UFO outside of Sedona, Arizona. As they
drove along an isolated road, they saw a light following them. It appeared
first ahead of behind them, as if playing a game of hide and seek. Suddenly,
the light zoomed down out of the sky and landed into a field next to their
car. The couple promptly lost consciousness. Their next memory was of
stumbling into a hotel hours later.
Realizing they had experienced missing time, they underwent
hypnosis during which they recalled that they weren’t abducted, but were
invited onboard. Says Rose, “We weren’t kidnapped or abducted. We
voluntarily boarded and we were welcome. We sought them out and we
climbed aboard, not being abducted as ‘in force.’
Rose was surprised at the appearance of the Ets. As she says, “They
looked a lot more like people than some of those sketches do. A lot more.
Their eyes were a little larger than any white person’s big eyes would be, but
they were just not enormous. They looked like they could pass for us if they
wished. And they glowed with a blue aura which made me feel reassured,
kind of on a mental level, that they were peaceful.”
Rose was also surprised by their clothing. “Something like a military
outfit, but not anything I have ever seen, and I’ve been in Europe and here
and so forth. But it would resemble that because they were all alike, but
more loose-fitting, but with belt. Uniforms, but it looked structured more
like, ‘I mean business.’
Another surprise was the lack of technological equipment on board.
“Oh, there were all kinds of lights, but very few actual gizmos like we have
on any aircraft here. [It was] like they didn’t need them. It didn’t look like
they needed too many things. It’s like they almost had mind control to get
the thing going. But there were little lights, I guess for monitors and things.”
Rose recalled other details regarding the Ets place of origin and their
intentions on Earth. William, however, was not a good hypnotic subject and
was unable to recall anything other than the craft landing and them being
invited onboard.
William had experienced an earlier terrifying episode with missing
time, so he was somewhat relieved that their encounter turned out to be
benevolent.
Later, William and Rose had another encounter in their isolated home
in Hawaii, which confirmed for them that the Ets were interested in their
welfare. His first clue occurred upon waking up one morning and finding a
strange mark on his body. Says William, “I woke one morning and I felt an
itch on my right foot and discovered three puncture wounds in a perfect
triangle. They were in the process of scabbing over. I sleep on a waterbed,
so nothing could have scratched it. My wife was the only witness. I felt
something itching on my right ankle, and that’s when I looked. Because
there’s no way possible in the night I could have done this, and that’s when
it happened.”
William was concerned by the marks because it was obvious that they
were not natural. But what could they be?
The answer came about two weeks later when the same incident
occurred again, only this time William was awakened by an unexplained
bright beam of light entering into his bedroom. Says William, “I woke in
the middle of the night with a bright light coming in the back window. It
lasted about thirty to sixty seconds. I froze and could not get out of bed to
look outside. My backyard is a jungle of coconut trees and plants. As I live
in the country, no car could get there in that time. When the light came in
the back window, it was just as bright as could be. I couldn’t believe it, and
there’s nothing in the back. There’s no way a car could have gotten in there.
I mean, that’s what it looked like – somebody’s headlight shining right into
the window. I remember waking up and seeing that. This was just kind of
shocking thing.”
William’s first instinct was to get up and investigate. Strangely,
however, he found himself paralyzed. Seconds later, he felt himself being
put to sleep. When morning came and he awoke, he immediately
remembered the incident that had occurred in the middle of the night. He
could only shake his head in wonder. Then he looked down to his right arm
and received an incredible shock. Says William, “My right wrist was
itching. The same thing happened – three puncture wounds in a perfect
triangle…I woke up and found those triangular pin-pricks on my right hand.
And this was the hand I used when I carried mail. This was in constant use.
And they were very fresh, because you could still see, they had just about
scabbed over. I showed them to my wife immediately. I said, ‘My God!
Look at this thing. It’s perfect. It’s a perfect triangle.”
William had worked for years as a postal worker and had developed
severe carpel-tunnel syndrome in his right wrist, as well as permanent
damage in his left ankle. However, immediately following the two above
incidents, he noticed a dramatic improvement in his health. “I went and got
myself a hot tub. I didn’t everything I could to take some of that pain away.
And it wasn’t until after my incident that things started to get better. I just
know that I progressed and started to get better. Since thin, I have been 9
percent cured….I am almost sixty-seven years old and I can hang off a
twenty-foot ladder placing the weight on my right foot and paint with my
right hand, day after day. I really don’t care if people doubt my explanation.
I know what I feel.”
William and Rose are the perfect example of people who have moved
beyond the typical abduction scenario. Not only were they healed, but they
have now become healers themselves. This pattern has turned up in other
cases. Says Rose, “Both of us have become more and more interested in
helping people in alternative healing ways. Even William, he has this
energy in his hands that he didn’t have before….now it’s like I feel this heat
coming out that’s really good. And people say they feel it out of me too.
And I say, ‘Oh, where did I get this from.’ I have a lot of good result stories
from the neighborhood. But I’m grateful, because I think it [the UFO
connection] has a lot to do with it.”
Six Hours Onboard a UFO
In 1972, when he was 12 years old, Jack Stephens was abducted from
his vehicle in full view of his mother and brother. He was lifted up inside a
beam of light and taken inside an enormous craft the size of a small building.
He experienced a six-hour-long encounter aboard the UFO before being
deposited back into the car.
The stunned family drove home, with most of the event shrouded in
amnesia. They recalled only a powerful light hitting the car, the engine
turning off and a slight floating sensation. Their next memory was the light
turning off, the car engine turning on and six hours had passed. It was a
typical missing time encounter.
Years later, as an adult, Jack bit down on an impacted wisdom tooth.
This caused a flood of memories to burst forth. Jack suddenly recalled
everything that happened.
In most respects, Jack experienced the typical abduction scenario. He
recalled being taken aboard onto the craft. He was laid out on a table and
examined. They poked at his feet, probed inside his mouth. Jack is unable
to recall the appearance of the beings, only that they were short and
incredibly scary-looking.
It’s what happened next, however, that makes Jack’s account unique
in UFO literature.
Investigators’ have long noticed that UFOs often hover over electric
power lines, as if they were drawing electricity into their craft. Jack is the
first abductee to witness this exact procedure from the perspective of inside
the ET craft.
After the examination, Jack was floated off the table and into another
room. The beings then placed him in a strange device which allowed him to
view the procedure. Says Jack, “We went straight up above the fog. I could
look out. The next thing, I was down in this thing. It was like a little clear
diamond-thing on the bottom of [the craft.] I’m in this thing and there are
like bungee cords on me. I sat in this clear diamond-shape – actually
suspended, it almost felt like bungee cords, but I could see everything
around. I got a 360-degree view. I could look everywhere. We drop back
down and we’re by my farm. We’re literally down in the pasture above this
ditch. And there are some big high voltage power lines, heavy-duty power
lines through there. You can just feel the electricity coming off.
“Well as we dropped down to this thing, whatever the clear thing I
was in, in the bottom, kind of got smaller. It was kind of like more of a
confined space. It seemed wide open to me before, and yet I was enclosed,
in kind of like plastic or glass.”
Jack was in awe. It felt like he was dangling below the craft with a
perfect view of everything around. The room he was in seemed to design
specifically for observation. In fact, the whole room would swivel towards
whatever direction he looked. “In places it didn’t move at all, like if I just
wanted to look one way, it just stayed there. But if I turned, it would move
all over. But if I just stopped and looked one way, it would stop and look
one way.”
At this point, the procedure began. “[They] were explaining to me
what they were doing. I don’t know what it was, but we went up to the
power lines. And after we got back down, that little thing I was in seemed to
kind of shrink up inside. [There were] four rotating things on each side of
this thing – the diamond or triangle or whatever it was – there were four
lights that started spinning around. And I could see them from where I
was….And I saw all those beams suck all together, come into one big beam
and hit the power pole, sucking the electricity out of it. And these were like,
I mean, LIGHTS! They all focused into one and they started sucking
electricity out of the power poles. I can’t describe it but I could literally feel
it going through my body.
“I remember being cold. That’s when they sucked up the electricity.
That is the most vivid part of the whole thing. We were up above it, a
telephone pole, maybe two telephone pole lengths above it. And all those
lights focusing into one super bright light – just pshew! Just literally seeing
the electricity coming out of there, and feeling it. It was just like it drained
everything, just took it all.
“Another thing, when I was up in that thing, we were above the fog,
just kind of floating above this fog. And when they went to go suck the
electricity out of the power lines, that fog just got out of the way. It just
opened wide up, just shew! – got out of the way, and I could see crystal
clear.
“Another thing, I remember my teeth kind of hurting when it was
sucking that stuff up. Just like when you're chewing on aluminum foil. I
remember feeling like, ‘Hurry up, get this thing over with.’”
While Jack recalls several other events, it was the above incident
which remains the most memorable. As can be seen, the aliens seem to have
intentions beyond just an abduction and physical examination.
Taken to an Underground Base
The standard abduction scenario usually involves a person being taken
inside a UFO and examined by gray-type extraterrestrials. But again, this
scenario is not as common as many might believe. Consider the following
case, in which a young man was abducted, not by gray-type Ets, but by
praying-mantis-type Ets. Nor was he taken inside a UFO. In fact, he
recalled being taken to an apparent underground base!
In 1967, twelve-year-old, Paul Nelson (pseudonym) was visiting the
island of Catalina with his parents. Also along was Paul’s best friend,
Michael (pseudonym.) The two boys decided to go inside their boat and
read some new comic books. Suddenly, however, they both experienced an
episode of missing time. Their next memory was of waking up the next
morning. While Paul was unable to convince his parents that anything
unusual had happened, both Paul and his friend knew that the event was
strange.
Two weeks later, Paul was alone in his Reseda, California home when
he had another strange experience. He was alone in his room when the door
began to rattle. He jumped up and threw it open. To his shock, he saw the
shadow of a small figure running down the hallway. He chased after it, but
found nothing.
Paul didn’t know how to explain these experiences and didn’t connect
it to the UFO phenomenon. However, afterwards he developed an interest in
UFOs and began to read up on the subject.
Many years later, he grew up, married, became a doctor and had two
children. Then he had a UFO sighting of a distant object in the daytime sky.
This renewed his interest in UFOs. He began reading about the missing time
aspect of UFO encounters when he realized that he had experienced missing
time.
Intrigued, he eventually underwent hypnosis to recover his lost
memories. Having read about UFOs, he expected to find that he had a
frightening encounter, during which he would be examined by gray-type Ets,
aboard a UFO using highly technological equipment. Instead, it was nothing
like this.
As Paul underwent the regression, his first surprise was that he was
not aboard a UFO, but instead appeared to be in an underground base. Says
Paul, “I was taken to a round-walled room. It seemed to me more
underground than it did onboard a ship. The walls had kind of rock-like
facet to them. And I was on a table…Yeah, rock-like walls rather than
metallic craft-type walls. It gave the impression that I was in a cavern
[rather] than in a ship…It was more of an underground feeling that’s true.
That is a little anomalous.”
Under hypnosis, Paul recalled his friend, Michael nearby, also being
examined. His next surprise was that the beings were what he expected.
Says Paul, “The beings weren’t the typical grays, they were more the
‘Praying Mantis’ type, as I later understood. The eyes were slightly bigger
than what is seen in the typical small gray, and a little more insectoidlike…
They wore tight-fitting uniforms, I believe. There was even a color to
them, but I can’t remember what the color was…tight-fitting jump-suit like
things. I think there was one in that bunch that had a tunic-type thing, more
looser fitting over it. I couldn’t tell how tall they were because they were
over me and I was on my back. So I couldn’t give you the exact height.
They didn’t look particularly tall though.”
Yet another surprise was the type of machinery in the room. Having
read a good deal about UFOs, Paul expected again to see complex
equipment. Instead, it all seemed amazingly primitive. Says Paul, “The
machines looked like typical military-type computer consoles rather than
alien-looking machines. There were lights and buttons. Well, I don’t know
if they were buttons, but areas that seemed to be for pushing. Colored lights
– I can’t remember what color off the top of my head.”
Paul recalled a very short examination, but otherwise, nothing
frightening happened. Never did he feel any fear. “I don’t remember being
particularly scared about the whole thing. In fact, I was a little intrigued by
it. I don’t remember anything painful occurring.”
Conclusions
As the above cases show us, it can be extremely difficult to categorize
a UFO experience. While there are definite patterns, encounters are as
individual as the people who have them. Witnesses, as a rule, experience a
wide variety of events beyond the abduction and examination. I am
currently working with several people whose experiences with ETs are
typically atypical. One case involves a southern California woman who has
had multiple encounters with gray-type ETs. She has several witnesses and
physical evidence to support the veracity of her encounters, which have
moved beyond the standard missing-time abductions and examinations and
evolved into fully-conscious encounters during which she has been healed of
various ailments, has been taught how to heal, and has been given other
spiritual information. She reports that the grays are very loving and
emotional.
Another case involves a lady who has had multiple encounters with
praying-mantis-type aliens. Her encounters have not been benevolent; her
health has suffered as a result. However, on a few occasions, the aliens told
her extremely personal information which proved conclusively to her that
they were very concerned with her life. They not only showed that they had
been watching her during her entire childhood, but they also gave her a
series of predictions, several of which have already come true. Some of the
information was so personal, that the witness refused to even discuss it.
While abductions and examinations appear to be the single most
common factor, there are a vast number of experiences beyond this. Again,
the conclusion is inescapable that extraterrestrials have a deep in humanity.
Why else would they take the time to fix someone’s motorcycle, heal
someone of carpel-tunnel syndrome or dangle somebody below their craft
show how they siphon electricity from power lines?
These are only a few of the cases you will find in the book Extraterrestrial
Visitations: True Accounts of Contact.
