I spent
most of my life living out in the bush. This
happened to me 50-something years ago. I was
23 or 24, something like that. I can’t
remember. It's been a long time and I can't
remember what year it was. That's hard to
believe, but I just can't.
It was in the
seventies and there were lots of hippies all
over the place. We were all living in these
old little shacks. I was with my girlfriend at
the time and we were living in an old trappers
camp. The trapper had passed away and it was
empty, so we moved into it. It was about 15
miles from town and about a mile back into the
bush. About 200 yards from the cabin was a
little lake. The lake was a small lake, about 600
yards long. Maybe 150-200 yards wide. But it had
really good fishing in there. To
the right of the cabin was a little spring. It
was good fresh water, so we had lots. It was
nice there.
Where our cabin
was, it was kind of a swamp. Lily pads and cat
o' nine tails and at night the frogs would
start singing. The whole area was just singing
with frogs. And once it got dark, the
fireflies would come out. So it was a really
pretty place. Once in a while we’d take a jar
and catch the fireflies to put them in the
house at night, then we let them go again in
the morning.
We were probably
living on welfare, so we didn’t have a lot of
money. We had enough money for groceries and
gas for my little car, a red Volkswagen
Beetle. You couldn't drive right up to the
cabin because the lake would flood the road
with about 2-3 feet of water, so we would park
on the dry side. It was just us, there was
nobody else around. I think that’s why they
came…
If I think of
someone a little way out in the middle of
nowhere by themselves in this place and a UFO
lands… I think people have been abducted and
didn't even know what it was. That’s part of
my story.
Well, the cabin was
only 8x10 feet. The wooden door had a chunk of
leather belt nailed to it and you would just
pull it open and it would automatically slowly
shut by itself all the time because the cabin
was leaning a little bit. Our furniture was a
single army cot, an old table and a
stove.
But anyway, when
you're living in a little cabin like that you
just sit around and play cards or whatever,
and you always end up getting up and just
pushing the door open and standing there for
fresh air to break the monotony a little bit.
And that was one of these times. I was
standing there and from the north there was a
hollow in the trees. The trees were shorter in
this one spot there. I looked up and there
were two UFOs. As soon as they came in through
that hole in the trees, they dropped down and
they were just level with the cabin. They
slowly went by, real slow. Very slow and there
was no sound. They were totally round and they
were kind of a dull grey colour. If they were
sitting up in the sky, you wouldn’t even
notice them. I estimated after that they were
probably about 30 feet across.
This was just about
a half an hour before dark, late in the
afternoon. It was late summer.
So I was standing
right in front of the cabin and I was looking
at them. They're both coming, really slow, one
right behind the other, about 25 yards
apart.
My girlfriend did not see this. She
was in the cabin. I just stood there and watched
them. They were heading for the lake. I was
watching the second one go by, and it zapped me.
I just felt it. It felt like, I’m gonna say, radio waves just to
give you an idea. It was really fast.
Vibrating. It started on my right side, went
through my whole body really fast, and then it
came across the other side of my body. Right
across the front of my whole body in the same
direction the UFO was flying.
I never heard it or nothing. But as soon as they did
that to me, then I knew that they were gonna go
land by the lake. And I knew that I had to go
down there right away.
I felt okay at this time. When I saw
them, I never felt nothing. I just watched them.
I hurried to the cabin and I told — I
guess we were kind of hippies too — I called her
my “old lady.” All the hippies called their
girlfriends that. So I went in and told her,
“Come on! Hurry up! Two UFOs just landed down by
the lake! Let’s go down and see them!” And she
said, “No, I don’t want to.” Well, I was kind of
surprised because usually if I ever asked or
anything she would say, “Okay, I’ll grab my
shoes!” But she just said no. I said, “Come
on! Come with me! Hurry up!” She said no. I
think I tried three times.
So, I grumbled
something to myself and I turned and walked
out the door. I turned left and walked towards
the lake. I never ran. I never dawdled. Just
kind of a brisk walk to the lake. As soon as I
got to the edge of a little hill —
there was a little hill before the lake — I seen
these two UFOs just sitting on the ground. They
were about 30 yards apart. Clear as day, sitting
there. They were physically on the ground. There
was kind of an open place for them to land, all
rock that had been flattened down over the
years.
The one closest to me had its door
open. This door was part of the wall. The wall
folds down and makes a ramp to walk in on. I
looked at them for a second, walked down the
hill, turned right and walked right up to the
UFO. When I walked right
up to the ramp and I stand beside the wall, I
could tell it was still running. I was
standing beside the wall and it was only a
foot off the ground or something. I could hear
a rough, continuous rumbling sound underneath.
I thought to myself, “They must have left it
running in case they wanted to take off in a
hurry or something.” It was a rough idling
sound, like a couple of steel marbles rolling
around in a tin pipe.
I stood there a sec just listening to
it. When I looked up, the middle of the UFO was
wider than the bottom or the top. It looked like
a roof over top of the ground. I put my right
hand up as high as I could go, just to see if I
could touch the roof. But there was still about
a foot above my head. I put my hand down,
turned, and walked right into the UFO.
As soon as you walk into the door of
the UFO, there’s about four feet of floor and
then a little wall that goes up to the main
floor. The main floor was higher than where you
walked in. Just to the left of where you
entered, there was a stairway that went up to
the main floor. It had four steps on the
stairway.
I walked into the stairway to the
left of this doorway. I walked up — there was a
railing on the left-hand side of the stairway
that was made of pipe — so I hung on with my
left hand to the pipe railing. I walked up two
steps, and then I stopped. From there, I could
see everything on the whole floor. What’s round
outside is round inside. I turned my head to the
left, and there were two space aliens standing
there looking at me.
Their skin is really grey everywhere,
and it’s really wrinkly. Their faces are wrinkly
grey skin and two black eyes. The first second I
saw them, I thought, “This definitely is not
from Earth. These people are not from Earth.”
They were about
four feet high. They were both wearing white
smocks, y’know, like a doctor would wear. The
smocks came down past their knees halfway down
their calves. They had long sleeves. It looked
like two little men standing there [Holly -
I asked and he confirmed that
they were “humanoid” looking].
So the first thing
I felt was shocked. You know, who wouldn't be
shocked the first time you ever see two space
aliens? It never bothered me when I walked in
there, but once I've seen them then I just
felt shocked. And then the second thing I felt
was fear. So I quickly turned my head to the
right and looked back down at the door. The
open door. And I was thinking about turning
around and running down the steps and out
around and head for home as fast as I could.
But I think they picked up on that. As soon as
I turn my head to the right and stared at the
open door, one of them quickly said, “It's
okay. Come on in.” The message went right into
my head, and it was so crystal clear. When
they say something, you can hear the words
right crystal clear in your brain.
I knew that the aliens were both
males. I figured there were probably two other
people in the other UFO — I thought this over
the years later, not at the time.
I was thinking, “Hey, they can speak
our language. They must have taken people up
there and learned our language.” I was saying all
this to myself through the years and then I
start thinking, you know, does thought even
have a language? Maybe when a thought enters
your head, maybe your own brain converts it to
maybe German or Chinese or whatever. They
probably wouldn't be able to learn all the
languages.
So, he said, “It’s
okay, come on in.” Just like that. So
friendly. And so I walked up the last two
steps, and I turned left. And I walked right
up to them. Stood there about two feet, maybe
2 1/2 feet from them. And they were staring at
me, and I was staring at them. Even if they
were just looking at you, I don't think they
have any eyelids or nothing. So even when
they're just looking at you, it looks like
they're staring at you. They probably were
staring at me and I was staring back at them
anyway. And the eyes were all black.
When you see these
pictures of aliens on TV and in books, it was
never nothing like that. Their eyes weren’t
that big. Their heads might have been a little
bit bigger than ours, with that grey wrinkly
skin. Their heads were wider at the top,
narrowing down around their chin. They
weren’t walking around barefoot — they might
have had some kind of shoes on, but I can’t
really remember. They had three fingers. The
middle finger is longer than the other two,
maybe an inch and half longer. And their eyes
were teardrop shaped, slanted up a little bit.
Their eyes were maybe twice the size of ours. If
we didn’t have pupils and our eyes were totally
black, our eyes would look bigger too. They
didn’t have any hair at all. They didn’t have
ears like we do — their head was flush all
around, just a hole on each side. Their mouth is
just a little hole. They don’t have lips either.
They don’t have a nose like we do. It’s just
kind of flat, slightly flat, tips up a little
bit with two holes in the front. Each side of
their nose comes up about a quarter or half an
inch on each side. They looked identical to one
another. They just looked like two little men
standing there.
When I’m standing on the stairway,
about five feet ahead of me and five feet to the
left, there are two beds. The beds aren’t on
four legs, it’s just a pole in the middle of the
beds holding them up. Both beds are covered in
white linen. The beds are identical, about six
feet apart. To the left of the beds, if you walk
up to the second bed, there was a little counter
right up against the wall about four feet long.
And four feet from the counter was another
little railing about five feet long. I’ll call
it the “medical counter” as that’s what I
figured it was a little later on — if you
walked from the second bed to the medical
counter, you’d walk around the left-hand side of
the railing. If you went around the other side
of the railing it was a little further.
As I said, what’s round outside is
round inside. The walls are one great big, huge
circle. The walls are a light-ish brown. Kind of
like a laminated flooring: smooth and clean. I
don’t think there was one speck of dust on it.
The walls were probably six feet high all the
way around. I never did look up. I can’t
remember what colour the walls were
inside.
Straight across from the stairway, to
the other side of the wall but to the right a
little, was a little room. The room was right up
against the other wall. When you put a square
room in a circle, it looks like a piece of pie.
The room had no windows or nothing from the
stairway. I just could see it was a room because
it was sticking out from the rest of the
circle.
If you were to go
downtown and buy a brand new car — the
cheapest car you could buy — with
no extras, this would be it. It was bare floor
from wall to wall. Never even had a chair to
sit on.
So, once I walked up to them and we
were staring at each other, my mind just went
totally blank. They must have erased my memory
or something. My mind just goes totally blank.
But I can remember lots that happened throughout
that night.
In the summer, the daylight hours are
long and it gets light early in the morning. So
when I thought about it later, I think I was
probably in there at least
five hours, probably something like that.
But anyway, the next thing I can remember is I was
lying on that first bed closest to the door. My head was towards
the stairs. My feet were towards the middle of
the UFO. I knew I was stark naked laying out
on this bed. I was lying on my back with my
hands beside me. I was unconscious. You’re
going to ask, “Well how do you know you were
lying on the bed then?” That’s all in my story
eventually. So I’m lying there, I’m
unconscious, and way down below my feet I can
see this little black, round dot. It’s about
the size of a quarter. It’s slowly moving
towards me — slowly, slowly,
slowly. The black dot was pain. It was slowly
moving up towards me. It never did stop. It
kept slowly moving my way all the time. By the
time it got to my feet, the pain was so much
that I woke up. As soon as I woke up, there
was a space alien standing down by my feet.
The other one was standing over by the steps.
As soon as I saw that, I wanted to get up and
get out of there away from the pain.
The other alien — as
soon as I stared trying to sit up, and I was
very groggy and tired or drugged or whatever — the
one at my feet must have said to him, you
know, speaking in ESP or whatever they call
it, he must have said, “Hurry up, grab him!
He’s waking up!” Or something like that. The
other one by the door ran back to the bed and
grabbed on to my right arm as hard as he
could.
I was fighting. The other one ran
past me on the left side, probably heading to
that medical counter. The one holding me down
had both his hands over top of my arm and he was
holding me down for all he was worth. It was
quite a struggle. I felt pretty drugged up. When
the other one ran past me towards the medical
counter, I turned to the one holding me and
stared right into his face. We’re both staring
at each other. He’s staring down at me holding
me for all he was worth. He realized I couldn’t
get up, so I quit fighting and just lay there.
The one that was at
the medical counter was now back on my left
side. I could feel him moving against me. I
just kept staring into the face of the one
that was holding my arm. Next thing I knew, I
was out again. I went unconscious again.
So anyway, I don't
know how long I was on the bed. He probably
gave me a good second dose to make sure I
didn’t wake up. I thought about all this in
the years after — they must have been
doctors. The next thing I remember is I’m
standing beside that railing in front of the
medical counter. There’s one space alien in
front of me on the other side of the railing.
And the other space alien was behind me. Now,
they must have helped me. They must have
waited until I woke up a bit, but I was still
very groggy. And I remember standing in front
of this railing. There’s no way I could have
walked there myself. I’m not sure what was
holding me up there. Maybe the space alien
behind was making sure I didn’t fall, because
I would have just gone flat on the floor if no
one was hanging on to me.
So I’m standing there and — I hate to
tell stuff like this — I think the one behind me
had his big finger up my butt. I hate to talk
like that, but I have to. It’s part of my
story. He was moving his finger around in
circles. And I was just standing there. I had to
turn my head to see. I didn’t want him touching
me. I tried to move my feet, but I couldn’t. All
I could do is just stand there. I don’t know how
long this happened. But anyway — I guess I have
to say this — I guess they got what they wanted.
Sperm sample. And the one in front of me had
some kind of container. He turned around, lifted
a lid on the counter, and set this container
inside there and closed the lid again. I don’t
remember nothing after that.
They must have taken me back to the
bed. I don’t know this. I’m just guessing. They
must have helped me back to the bed. There’s no
way I could have walked there. Then, who knows
what happened. I lay there for I don’t know how
long until I started coming to. This time, I was
fully dressed.
The next thing I can remember is I
was standing on the floor in front of the steps.
I must have been walking around, looking around.
I walked around the beds. There was a space
alien standing between the bed and the railing.
I talked to him. I asked him two questions, but
I can’t remember what the two questions were. I
can’t remember if he answered the questions. I
think one of my questions he didn’t answer, or
if he did I can’t remember. The other question,
I don’t want to talk about right now. It’s kind
of unbelievable.
But anyway, I talked to him for a sec
and then I walked straight over past the beds to
the other wall. There was a picture hanging on
the wall. I stood in front of this picture and I
looked up at it. The picture was about 12 inches
by 18 inches. It was horizontal on the wall. The
picture had four planets on it. The planets were
about the size of a toonie. The first one was on
the left side about half way down, and then they
went up and around and back to the right again,
all about four inches apart. The first one I
thought was probably planet Earth. Maybe these
other planets were planets they had passed, or
where they were going. I don’t know. I looked at
it for a while and then I turned and walked
straight across the floor to the other side.
I think they were letting me walk
around to kill time. I think they didn’t want to
let me out. I could tell the door was closed. I
knew it was totally dark outside. I think they
were letting me kill time until daylight. So I
walked straight across to the other side, and
there was another little counter. In front of
the counter were two little stools with just one
leg underneath each one. On the counter, there
was a TV screen flat in the counter, built into
the counter. It was shut off. To the left of the
TV screen, there was a joystick or a gear shift.
I guess I’ll call it a joystick. It was about
six inches high and it had a round, black knob
on it. To the right of the TV screen, there were
three black buttons about the size of a quarter.
They were flush with the counter. I don’t know
why they let me walk over there, because that
must be where they flew the thing. I don’t know
why they let me walk over there, but I knew
enough not to touch nothing.
At this time, I don’t think I was
feeling anything. The only time I ever got
scared was when I first saw the two space
aliens. The rest of the time, I walked around
like it was just an everyday thing. I’m not
trying to pretend I was brave.
My right leg was touching that first
stool, so I backed up and looked around. There
was a little hallway that went down going into
that little room I mentioned before. I never did
go down there. I felt like I better not go down
there. I thought to myself later, maybe it was
the bathroom and a couple of beds or
something.
I continued walking around. I walked
back towards the stairway, and I could see the
door was open again. It was just breaking
daylight outside. The space alien came up to me
and said to me, “Okay, you can go now.” I said,
“Can you give me something so I can prove I was
in here?” What a stupid thing to ask. I thought
it was kind of funny after. They spent all night
trying to keep me from remembering
anything.
The alien kind of looked at me for a
sec, then turned around and walked back to the
medical counter. He came back and handed me
something. I put out my left hand and took it. I
think it was a metal slate, about four inches by
six inches. That’s what I’m guessing. I never
really looked at it and turned it over to see if
it had writing or anything on it. I turned and
walked down the stairs, along the ramp and
straight out of the UFO with this thing in my
hand.
I turned left and I started walking
back towards the cabin. When I got to the top of
that little hill, for some reason I decided I
didn’t want to take this thing to the cabin. At
that time, the two UFOS started leaving. They
were pretty well level with me, flying slow. I
thought for sure they were watching me. I had
this thing in my left hand, I turned my back to
the UFOs, put the thing in my right hand and to
the right in the bush there was a little rotten
tree stump. I turned and I threw this thing into
that stump. It only went halfway — it fluttered
and fell to the ground. I was going to run and
grab it and throw it once more, but I thought I
better not because I didn’t want them to see me
throwing it.
By the time I got back to the cabin,
the UFOs were long gone. It was only about 150
yards to the cabin. They might have been sitting
up there watching me. I don’t know. I never
looked up. I walked into the cabin and I could
feel the heat of the cabin. I must have taken my
shoes off. My girlfriend was lying on the bed on
her left side. I pulled the blankets back from
behind her and tried getting into bed without
waking her up. She never woke up, as far as I
know. Within about two seconds, I was in a deep
sleep. I probably slept about three or four
hours.
I woke up, and my girlfriend was gone
from the bed. So I looked around the room and
she was standing over on the other side of the
stove, drinking a coffee or washing dishes or
something. I said to her, “How come you didn’t
come down to the lake last night to see the
UFOs?” She just looked at me. I was waiting for
her to say something. She never did. So I lay
back down and went back to sleep, probably for
another few hours. We never, ever mentioned it
again. I don’t know why. I guess maybe we
weren’t supposed to talk about it.
My girlfriend never said nothing. I
wondered whether she was in that other UFO all
night long, but I don’t think she ever left the
cabin. For some reason, she never talked about
it. And I never talked about it after that
either. We just went on with our daily lives.
Later on that afternoon, I walked
down to see if there were any tracks where the
UFOs were. I might have seen two tracks. It was
hard shale. There was a little indentation in
the shale.
A couple of days later we decided to
go back into town for something. I never went
back to look for the thing I threw in the bush.
I don’t know why. I kind of turned my head to
look, but then I just kept walking. It wasn’t
long after that, maybe a couple of weeks, we
moved back into town. Eventually, we went our
own separate ways. We never did talk about the
UFO. I have never told anybody. I think there
was one time someone mentioned UFOs, and I said,
“Yeah, I was in a UFO once.” They just looked at
me and continued with what they were talking
about.
There are no people on our planet
with really grey, wrinkly skin. They were
definitely space aliens. Two of them. The other
UFO — I can’t imagine they were sitting in there
twiddling their thumbs. They probably had some
way of watching what was going on.
Nothing like that ever happened to me
again. They must have been watching my place.
They must have had it planned. They must have
seen they could land at a cabin in the middle of
nowhere with no neighbours. I think that’s why
they chose the spot. They must have been sitting
up waiting and watching the cabin. They must
have been waiting for me to come outside.
Somebody told me
the cabin is a pile of old boards now. The
trapper who owned the cabin was named Leo. I
met him before he passed away. I guess they
shipped him to Kamloops and he broke out of
there, but they took him back to Kamloops. I
guess that’s where he passed away. There used
to be an old sawmill there, that’s probably
where he got all his lumber.
I don’t know if it would be hard to
find the object I threw. When you walk up the
lake and to the cabin, you would stick to the
right of the road and keep going. It was just
laying on the ground. After 50 years, it’s
probably covered in pine needles. But maybe it
could be found with a metal detector.
The reason most people don’t want to
talk about UFOs is because they don’t even
believe them. I know for a fact it’s true. If
anybody ever doubted my words, I’m 100% in to
take a lie detector test. I would go for that,
because I’ve got nothing to hide. This is the
first time anybody has heard this story. I’m 76
now and my health isn’t really good. I wanted to
tell the story a few times throughout my life,
but I didn’t. I thought well, maybe somebody
wants to hear it. So now they have.
