Well, this is interesting ~ I'm listening to this little AM station somewhere here in Tennessee. Considering that I can't get it on any other radio other than this little headphone radio, it may indeed be 'local'. (It's 1090, WJKM ~ did they just say in Hartsville????!!!! Doing a test broadcast and now that I know the number, I've found it on the downstairs stereo. My god, who would have thought something as cool as this is coming from ye olde birthplace???) Anyway, there is an interview on there with someone (Mike) from Hendersonville who claims to have been abducted by an UFO while on the way back from somewhere in Kentucky. He, his family (parents) and the dog evidently had the whole works ~ the car quits on them with no obvious mechanical problems after seeing a UFO; the dog runs in fear into a crop circle in a corn field, dog suddenly appears to be dead and stiff, an object appears in the sky above and Mike is knocked unconscious by 'something from above'. He woke up on an 'examining table' with all kinds of shiny; metallic, mirrorlike material everywhere ~ walls, table, etc. He says what woke him was the sound of his dog ~ it 'screeched'. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw his dog laid out on a table with all the viscera laying in front of it (ugh ~ not a nice visual). These little figures in shiny 'outfits' surrounded the dog. A bright light filled the room and the creatures leave. Suddenly, his dog now seems to be happy and whole and a fog or smoke fills the room.

Suddenly, Mike finds himself about 100 feet away from where he was in the corn field, on his feet and the puppy in his arms. Everyone is 'missing' about an hour and a half. His parents don't remember a thing ~ not even under hypnosis.

My question is this ~ WHERE did this happen???????? On the interstate? Highway 231 or 31W? I'm thinking of ways from Kentucky to Hendersonville ~ of course, there are about a ba~zillion other ways to go...That is the one infuriatingly (to me) pertinent piece of info. Of course, I can see why that particular tidbit wasn't given out ~ 1.) it wasn't truly germaine to the story and 2.) crazy people like me would be running to see what they could find.

Sheesh. My little encounter looks excruciatingly pale compared to that. Perhaps that's a good thing. I can't remember if I've talked about it before or not (one thing I hate is repetition, even though I'm as guilty of it as anyone.) I only saw a triangular craft flying overhead ~ and then proceeded to have a series of progressive 'dreams' for the next six months. 'Dream' was the only word I had for them at the time, now looking back on the whole thing ~ I know it was anything but a dream.

Yep ~ evidently, this is bringing something up from deep inside. I'm shaking as I type and remember. I suddenly remembered the other event where I saw an unusual craft ~ and that time, I wasn't the only one. C.M. was with me. Strange though, I still have two distinct memories of the same event and once I even had to ask C.M. which was the 'valid' one (meaning that I had to ask to see if one of them matched his memory of the event.)

That was the night where we topped a hill, not too far from his house at the time. I suppose this was 1990 or so. As we topped the hill, we both saw these two flying 'things'. I remember them as two white balls of light, one literally flying circles around the other one. It would do one or two complete vertical circles around and then reverse as they both flew from the horizon (which, I believe, was the northwest. I'll have to go back sometime and verify this since it's not too far away.) That part is clear as well as the fact that C.M. stopped the car to watch these things fly by. The two separate memories come in here ~ I remember both that 1.) C.M. and I both stayed in the car, he leaning up to the steering wheel to get a better look as they fly over. He says, "Wow, those things are manueverable!" and 2.) I stay in the car as C.M. opens the driver side door and stands up, one foot on the pavement and the other still in the car. His right hand is on the steering wheel as he says, "Wow, those things are manueverable!" Both memories seem equally valid to me ~ that's why I had to ask him about what he remembered.
