Have extra-terrestrials visited our planet?
These terrifying real-life abduction stories seem to suggest that not only have they visited,
they've been here for a while.
Watching us, experimenting on us, and even cross-breeding with humans.
One eerie night in 1976 in rural Maine four friends who had met at art school went on
a camping trip.
On the second night they noticed a very bright light in the sky and then on the third night,
undeterred by the looming threat of alien abduction, they decided to go for a spot of
night fishing.
Whilst fishing out on the canoe they noticed the same bright light again.
One of the men used his flashlight to make an SOS pattern at the mysterious light.
This wouldn't prove to be one of his wisest decisions ever, because shortly afterwards
the ominous light rapidly expanded and engulfed all four of them like an alien Pac-Man on
steroids.
The next thing the men remembered was waking up back at their campsite with absolutely
no idea how they got there and what had happened in-between.
The fire they had stoked up before they left was now completely burned out and all was
left was a pile of ash.
If that doesn't scream "we've been abducted by aliens and inexplicably lost a substantial
period of time" then I don't know what does.
But no, the four men thought nothing more of it and finished their camping trip, acting
like everything was just fine.
But in the weeks that followed, strange things started to happen.
Firstly, all four men started to have the same horrific nightmares of being aboard a
spaceship with mysterious beings that had long necks and large heads.
In each of the nightmares one of the men was being humiliatingly experimented on whilst
the other three men helplessly watched, unable to intervene.
It was at this point they realised something serious went down during that camping trip.
So, disturbed by their dreams, the men later met with a group of UFO specialists who suggested
they undergo regressive hypnosis therapy to make all their horrific memories come flooding
back.
During the sessions all four men revealed remarkably similar memories of being abducted
and experimented on.
Being artists all four men were able to accurately sketch their abductors as well as the spacecraft.
All of the men's sketches were freakishly similar.
Following psychiatric examinations the men were all deemed to be mentally stable and
they all passed lie-detector tests.
The unnerving event has since come to be known as the Allagash Abductions and at the time
it reached national primetime news.
Next up is the horrific story of the abductions of Jesse Long.
Jesse Long is a man from Tennessee who claims he was first abducted by aliens in 1957 when
he was just 5 years old.
Jesse and his brother were playing on the hill behind his house.
When they came upon what appeared to be a round house under construction, the two boys
obviously hadn't seen enough sci-fi horror movies because instead of fleeing they stayed
to examine the UFO-like object closer.
Then, according to Jesse a tall man appeared next to him and flashed him with a bright
light.
Jesse was instantly paralysed from head to toe.
Jesse didn't remember anything more about the event until years later when Jesse underwent
some hypnosis sessions.
During the sessions Jesse remembered himself and his brother being led down a long hallway
then separated.
Jesse was placed on a flat table and he recalled an object being implanted into his left shin.
The object remained inside Jesse's leg for 34 years, until, in 1991 he had an operation
to remove it from his leg.
Alas Jesse's skeptics could deny his convictions no more, because sure enough there was a strange,
small object inside his left shin.
The object appeared to be a shard of glass.
However it was sent for further research at a laboratory and the research came up with
some extremely bizarre results.
The South West Research Institute who examined the supposedly alien object had this to say:
"The object had a very remarkable composition" and it "Exhibited unique surface characteristics
that cannot be explained" and that "The questions outnumbered the answers."
Jesse claims he has been abducted again multiple times over the years and in one particular,
apparently extremely traumatic abduction, Jesse was forced to crossbreed with what he
believed was a female alien being.
In 1990 Jesse Long was driving to New Orleans right outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
when a light appeared and Jesse's car was lifted off the interstate, and he was brought
up inside an alien craft, still inside his car.
Jesse was then placed on a table and presented with an alien baby and told "this is your
child".
Jesse wasn't sure whether they were simply informing him of his new alien child or they
were seeking child maintenance.
Either way they seemed rather proud of what they had accomplished.
This next case is very rare, because it's one of the few alien abduction cases that
doesn't end in mutilation, death or weird alien babies, it actually has a happy ending.
John Salter, Jr. was traveling on the highway with his son, when suddenly they discovered
they were driving in the wrong direction and they had lost an hour of time, now we all
what happens next.
The two men had no memory of what happened during their lost hour and continued with
their journey as normal, however a little while later they apparently saw a UFO in the
sky.
Seeing the mysterious alien craft in the air jogged John and his son's memories and they
started to remember the strange and disturbing events that took place during their hour of
lost time.
The two men recalled seeing a group of children and a taller half-human, half alien creature.
However the men both said they were not afraid of the aliens, they instead felt extremely
protected and they felt a strong connection with the alien beings.
The two men were then guided into a room by their new alien buddies, where they underwent
a thorough medical examination and peculiar procedures.
However, unlike other alien abduction victims John and his son reported an overall improvement
in their health.
But by far the weirdest part of their story, and the thing that makes it the most believable
is that John had a scar on his forehead, however after his abduction the scar had completely
vanished.
In most alien abduction cases the abductee is somewhat, safely returned to Earth and
then they tell other's of their abduction.
But this adds a level of uncertainty into the validity of their story, because they
could of course, be making it all up.
That's what makes this next case so believable, because unlike in most abduction stories,
Frederick Valentich was never, ever seen again.
Twenty-year-old Frederick Valentich was an aspiring pilot in Australia, until on the
21st October 1978, during a training flight off the south-east coast of Australia something
completely unexplainable happened.
During his flight Valentich radioed Melbourne’s Air Traffic Control to advise them that he
was being shadowed by an unidentified craft flying about 1,000 feet above him.
Frederick said the craft was circling his own and it was emitting an eerie green light.
He then told air traffic control that he was experiencing engine problems.
Air traffic control asked him to describe the other aircraft, to which Frederick replied
"it's not an aircraft" and then suddenly the transmission was interrupted by metallic,
scraping sounds and all contact was lost.
A four day long search was undertaken of an area 1,000 square miles large.
But no trace of Frederick Valentich or his aircraft was ever found.
When the police questioned nearby witnesses there were numerous reports of people sighting
a UFO in the sky above Australia on the night of Frederick's disappearance.
And finally is the spookily convincing abduction of Travis Walton.
Travis is an American logger who, on the 5th November 1975, at 22 years old, was working
with a logging crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona.
When Travis and his crew finished for the day they were driving home in the same truck,
when all the men spotted a bright yellowish light from behind a hill up ahead.
They drove closer and they saw a large golden disc hovering above a clearing.
The driver stopped the truck and Walton leaped out and ran towards the disc, the other's
shouted at Walton to stop and come back to the truck, but he carried on regardless.
The rest of the crew insist that they saw a blue-green light come from the disk and
strike Walton.
Walton then rose a foot into the air with his arms and legs outstretched and then he
disappeared, along with the hovering gold disc.
The other men reported the incident to the police deputy sheriff when they got home,
the sheriff reported that all the men were distraught and two of them were in tears.
A large search party then carried out a search for Walton over the next few days, but there
was no trace of him.
Until five days later when Travis Walton mysteriously reappeared.
Disturbingly Walton had lost a significant amount of weight during his five days of lost
time.
His story reached national news and he has since wrote a book detailing his apparent
encounter with a UFO.
