Beyond UFO Abductions 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 ET's. 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 latest book, Extraterrestrial Visitations: True Accounts of Contact
(Llewellyn, 2002) 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.

Rescued by Aliens

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, saucer-shaped 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

inexplicably

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 grey-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

greys, more detailed, more white, not quite human. I would say like a

body suit

on a human figure, a white body suit, not a grey one, but maybe an

off-white or

a beige-grey.

"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 mother ship 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 "greys"

look,

without clothes. They didn't have any attire on or anything on. They

looked like

greys except they were more human-proportioned. 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 ET's. 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 ET's 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 ET's 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 90 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 grey-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 grey-type ET's, but by praying-mantis-type

ET's.

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 grey-type ET's, 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 greys, they were more the 'Praying Mantis'

type, as I

later understood.  The eyes were slightly bigger than what is seen in the
typical small grey, and a little more insectoid-like.  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 ET's are typically atypical. One case

involves a

southern California woman who has had multiple encounters with grey-type

ET's.

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 greys 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 and show how they siphon
electricity from power lines'

I could site about 2 dozen more alien interventions like the above.

Yeppers, these aliens really do care about their abductees. A lot.

I Will agree with you, I had minor surgical procedure on my leg to remove
a large mole.  That night when I went to sleep I felt as I was being touched
I had opened my eyes slowly and I had a visitor.  The strange thing the
visitor
realized that I was awake and was watching.  This was the first time I was
asked
are you OK?  I said yes then the visitor seemed to fade away.  Then I could
not
move for about 10 minutes.  Then it seemed for many months after that I felt
as
I was being watched very closely.  Now its more than a year now, its back to
roughly every other month...  I do have many dreams, I think they are from
my past
experiences.  I know one time I was in the dentist chair when I had opened
my eyes
and it was like a flash back.  was like there were 3 grays around me for a
second.
I had flinched my dentist asked me if I was ok.  She said I had a startled
look.

has any one else have had those kind of experiences?
