new england UFO newsletter

Magazine Overview

This issue of the new england UFO newsletter, WHOLE NUMBER 13, dated January, 1979, is dedicated entirely to a single, in-depth case: a possible UFO abduction under investigation in Rhode Island. The article highlights a unique case involving a 2½ hour time lapse.

The material presented is the result of an investigation begun by former NEUFO President Andrew Galligan. It is transcribed from tape-recorded interviews with the witness(es) involved, with efforts made to ensure accuracy and improve readability. The case was previously summarized in the July 1978 issue, but this issue delves deeper. The investigation is ongoing, and no judgment on the validity of the alleged experience is made. Names and landmarks have been deleted at the request of the percipients.

The compilation of this material is credited to Ed Fogg, Joe Nyman, and Dave Downs. It is based in part on information gained while one witness underwent hypnotic regression by Dr. Harold Edelstein, a MUFON Consultant in Hypnosis.

Case Details: Rhode Island Investigation

The witness recounts an experience that began with looking for a landlord at an apartment. After missing the landlord, the witness and others were trying to find their way back when they spotted a large, star-like object in the sky that didn't appear normal. This object was later described as pulsating and keeping pace with their car.

During the event, the witness describes driving around in circles, passing a market repeatedly, and eventually taking a dark street. Looking up, the witness and another person in the car noticed the object again. As they drove faster, the object kept pace, leading the witness to realize it was not a helicopter. The object began to get bigger and pulsate.

At one point, the witness states, "So the thing started going faster, too...then we slowed up, and we were on this dark road, with nothing ahead of us. We didn't know what to do...and this thing kept getting bigger, and seemed to be dropping between the trees." They eventually saw a sign for the 'Beaver Gun Club' and decided to drive down that road, believing a gun club would be an open field where the object might land.

One individual, referred to as '
', jumped out of the car, seemingly excited, and was screaming for the object to come down. The witness describes a feeling of betrayal and paralysis. The car door then opened, and '
' was pulled out. The witness was then pulled out of the car, holding onto a seat belt, and was pushed down a dark lane. During this process, the witness twisted an ankle and experienced pain, which was dismissed by an unseen entity.

The witness was then thrown into a box-like structure, described as similar to a milkman's box, where '
' was also present and screaming. The witness felt a gust of air from both sides, making it difficult to stand.

Hypnotic Regression and Further Details

Further details emerge from the witness's recollections, including memories of being on an operating table in a brightly lit, white room. A man in a white coverall-type suit was present, along with two beings in wet suits who were holding the witness. The witness recalls being asked, "How can you do a thing like this? How can you be so sadistic?"

The witness describes being strapped down to a table, unable to move, with glass-like objects placed on their abdomen. The man's eyes are described as "extremely blue, so blue they're almost white," and the witness could see up his nostrils, which were "so clear...like right up." The man's facial features were fair-complected, possibly resembling a light German. The eyes were large, unnaturally blue, and did not blink.

During the experience, the witness heard a "pumping" sound and a "shshshhh" of cold air coming from the sides of the room. The room itself was described as a silver room with aluminum walls, and a door that opened upward like an overhead garage door. The witness did not recall any furniture or cabinets.

Memories of being dragged down a path by a rough, hard touch were also recalled, along with the sensation of being pushed into a refrigerator-like room. The witness also mentioned hearing someone in another room say, "It hurts!"

Nightmares and Recurring Themes

The witness reports having frequent nightmares since the event, often involving being in an apartment house with secret passages and a large man coming towards them.
