As it approached they had a missing | | time memory loss, and their next recollection was that they were | | hastily leaving the campsite two hours later. | | | | During a hypnosis session five years later Scott described how the | | object approached and hovered over them. It was emitting a purplish | | light from underneath, and he felt a "pulsating, pulling feeling" as | | the two men were lifted up into the craft. They were separated once | | they were inside, and Scott was led by a 7 foot tall entity down a | | corridor to a door which "shattered" when they entered through it. On | | the other side was a small room filled with mist, where he | | encountered 4 or 5 similar beings, 7 foot tall and with grayish skin | | similar to that of a crocodile, and with 3 fingered hands. The room | | was cold and the mist emanated from vents in the floor. | | | | Scott was stripped and placed against a very brightly lit wall panel. | | A machine directly in front of him appeared to "scan" him, and a new | | 9-foot-tall entity communicated with him telepathically and asked why | | he was afraid. His mind was briefly transported to some other worldly | | environment, presumably the being's home planet. The beings that | | examined him had huge ears, no hair, and slit-like mouths. Their feet | | were elephant like, with three broad toes. When the examination was | | completed, Scott was reunited with his friend and they were both | | returned to the ground with no conscious memory of what had taken | | place. However, they both felt an unspecified terror to such a degree | | that they immediately packed their gear and returned to town. | | (Sources: Alvin H.

Some had blue and aqua lights. Some | | were triangular, some cigar-shaped, and some were like small boxes | | with four perpendicular lights. The witness brought several people | | out from the building, and they all watched the spectacle together. | | Also during the sighting, a bona-fide helicopter with multi-colored | | lights flew over. A few of these objects left a contrail. The main | | witness had spent seven years in the Air Force, and was confident | | these were not conventional aircraft. He called 911, and a Winfield | | police officer responded and watched them with him. The lighted | | objects also discharged balls of light every once in awhile, which | | also flew around.
