Seeking a definition:
What constitutes
an abduction report? Over the years UFO researchers have grappled to find
an agreed definition of “an alien abduction.” Arising from the well known
Hills case from the USA, a 1985 definition featured encounters with motor
vehicles.
“In a typical scenario, the victim is driving along a
deserted road late at night, sees a UFO, momentarily blacks out, regains
consciousness a “moment” or so later, then discovers that over an hour or
two has mysteriously passed away from his life. Later on investigators may
ask the witness to undergo hypnotic regression, during which he
“remembers” that his car stalled and alien beings took him onboard the
UFO. Many UFO abductees say they were given a medical examination, or a
message before being returned to their cars with the command to forget
what happened.” (1)
An example from my catalogue would
be:
The family of four were travelling by car and observed lights
in the sky, before arriving home later than they thought they should have
arrived. Next day, all four suffered from cold-like symptoms with Mrs L
experiencing a sore left ovary, a sore throat and a bleeding vagina. After
contacting a UFO researcher, the two adults under hypnosis, recalled
aliens removing them from their car. Mr L recalled finding himself naked
on a table somewhere, where a medical examination was conducted. The
space, in which the table was located, had windows to it, out of which he
could see tall buildings. Suddenly he found himself back in his
vehicle.
2-2.3m tall creatures with a wrinkled appearance and long
necks were present. They communicated telepathically with him.
Mrs
L’s recollections were “vague and blurred” compared to Mr L’s. She
recalled being on a table with 8-10 figures around her. She had no recall
of a physical examination or communication between herself and the beings.
Articles about the event appeared in local NSW papers and numerous
television and radio stations, both on a local and national level carried
the story. (2)
By 1987 a more general definition featured in the
work of U.S. researchers Eddie Bullard:
“Abduction means the
capture and temporary involuntary detention of a witness by extraordinary
and perhaps alien beings aboard a flying craft of unusual design, for
purposes that commonly include an event like a medical examination.” (3)
From my
catalogue:
A 65 year old woman consciously
recalls a single abduction at age 63. She was lying awake in bed in a
rural setting, when suddenly a being appeared. In a blink of an eye she
found herself in a large, blue coloured room. Bright light seemed to be
coming through the ceiling. Atmosphere and gravity seemed Earth normal. No
unusual odours noted.
Four beings were visible. They were described
as 180cm tall. Each had small, oval shaped head, and were intelligent
looking. The eyes were almond shaped, tapering upwards at the end. They
had a small mouth, thin lips with a small nose. The skin was pale, pearly
and soft to touch. On the hands she noticed four long, slender fingers but
was unsure if there was a thumb or not. The small feet were covered in a
“bootie”. They wore a jump suit, blue-grey in colour, and there were no
zips, markings or insignia on them. When they moved it was very graceful,
more like gliding.
She was on a transparent, glass-like table, with
no sensation of cold or heat. She saw there were a total of three tables
in the area. A being examined her using thin pencil-like torches, with a
light on one end. These were held against different parts of her
body.
Two of the beings communicated with her telepathically. One
was male and the other female. They informed her they meant no harm and
told her they would see her again. She has no recollection of leaving the
room, but next found herself back in her own bed. (4)
Bullard
divided the events into a number of categories. These were:
highway
hijack
bedroom intrusion
open-country appropriation.
In
another 1987 work, English authors Hilary Evans and John Spencer
wrote:
“In the stereotype abduction experience, the individual
seems (but this is open to question) to be taken by surprise by an
encounter with extraterrestrial beings; the witness is taken aboard the
spacecraft and subjected, more or less involuntary to some kind of
physical examination, which may include subcutaneous and even surgical
probing, sample taking and even sexual operations leading in some cases to
pregnancy.” (5)
Recognising that some abductions are reported to
involved a life-long interaction with alien beings, a 1992 Roper Poll
provided the following explanation of an abduction:
“The child is
removed from his/her normal environment by small. Gray-skinned, hairless
figures, and floated or carried into a circular, metallic craft hovering
nearby. When inside the object the child’s clothes are removed and he/she
is placed on a table. Physical manipulation and palpitation follows…” (6)
Also in 1992, the J Allen Hynek Centre for UFO Studies published
an excellent paper that utilised the following definition:
“1. A
witness must be taken against his or her will from normal, terrestrial
surroundings by non-human beings.
2. These beings must take the witness
to another enclosed space that is not terrestrial in appearance and is
assumed or known by the witness to be a spacecraft.
3. In this place,
the witness must either be subjected to various procedures that appear to
be examinations of some type, engage in communication (verbal or
telepathic) with the beings or both.
4. These experiences may be
remembered consciously or through various means of focused concentration,
such as hypnosis, or by a combination of the two.” (7)
The
following year, after the successful Abduction Study Conference held at
MIT in the USA, a group of participants in exploring a code of ethics for
abduction researchers stated:
“The abduction experiencer is defined
as a person who reports experiences which conform to those elements
commonly found in the abduction scenario as widely described in the
literature (e.g. recall of an abduction; missing time related to recall of
unidentified lights, objects or alien entities; dreams or dream-like
experiences of alien entities or UFOs etc.” (8)
Abductee and
author Karla Turner provided a simple definition when giving a talk to the
1994 MUFON conference:
“I am an abductee. I have been forcibly
taken and controlled by non-human entities.” (9)
In reviewing the
definitions above I decided to go with the CUFOS one.
The
Australian catalogue cases which I compiled have therefore been graded
against a variation of the Center for UFO Studies definition of an
abduction as follows:
A witness must be taken against his or her
will from normal, terrestrial surroundings
By non-human
beings
These beings must take the witness to another enclosed space
that is not terrestrial in appearance and is assumed or known by the
witness to be a spacecraft
In this place, the witness must either be
subjected to various procedures that appear to be examinations of some
type,
Engage in communication (verbal or telepathic) with the
beings.
For example, a grading of 3 indicates that the particular
account meets 3 out of the 5 statements of the CUFOS definition. Note,
that a grading of 4 or 5 would fully meet the CUFOS definition of an
abductee. The following is an example of such a case:
In April 1991
a married, Melbourne woman related a series of events extending back some
14 months from that time. These included her six-year-old son reporting
that five to six little men entered his bedroom and shone a "torch" at
him. He felt paralysed and whilst there the men telepathically told him
they would not hurt him, but examined him and pushed something up his
nose. He described them as having grey skin, big heads and big black
eyes.
The woman recalled an episode where something tried to
physically pull her out of bed during the night. She also recalled an
episode at age seven, which she thought was a dream, where three pixies
entered her room and abducted her.
In 1991 she was regressed and
this revealed:-
1. At age seven, six beings entered her bedroom and
took her away to a room somewhere. After examining her they pushed
something up her nose. She was told she had been chosen for some task, not
revealed to her yet. She did not feel they were going to hurt her. She was
floated back home and into her bed. She woke up and thought it had been a
dream.
2. At age thirty-six, in 1991, beings again came to her
bedroom and tried to take her away but she refused to go. Shortly after
this, and while she was in bed with her husband, three small beings
returned. They scrapped both her and her husband with a silver "knife"
telling her this was the last time for a while.
At some stage the
beings told her she is to spread knowledge when they are ready. They also
told her the device up her nose was to keep track of her. Later, she had
an urge to leave Melbourne and moved to a country location. (10)

An entity, wearing a grey body suit and a face mask entered the room.
There were discussions between Amy and the entity. She reports she was

1961
Tasmania 1 male Wayne [4]
Wayne, now a 35 year old man, recalled
events, at age 18, which commenced at age four. He recalls blue-grey
coloured aliens, with no ears, large eyes, and a big head. They had a
small body, with clothing that finished at the ankles and wrists and
blended in with their skin. He was placed on a hard table and given a
medical examination. A box about the size of a cigarette packet was moved
across his body-as if scanning him. They inserted something like a needle
up his nose which was a painful process. He can recall an associated
bright light outside his bedroom window. (UFORA92145. Keith
Basterfield.)
1962 NSW 1 female/2 male [4]
In 1974/75, the last
of two abductions occurred (one at age eight, one at 20/21) to a 20/21
year old woman, which was partially recalled consciously and partly by
hypnosis. She was in a moving vehicle with two men, in a rural setting
when a UFO approached them, the area lit up and she became paralysed. She
was taken by light beam to the UFO, where she found herself in a round,
grey and white space.
Two types of beings were present, one short,
one taller. The shorter beings of which there were one or two, had a big
round head with a pointed chin. Their eyes were big and black, and there
was a slit mouth with holes for a nose. Their skin was grey and wrinkled.
They wore grey/blue metallic-like jump suits with a hood around their
shoulders.
Two other taller beings were present. They also had big,
black eyes, and slit mouths on the same type head and with the same skin.
The shorter female was the boss, with the two taller beings,
workers.
The woman's companions were also onboard. The female being
seemed hostile and curious, whereas one of the males was indifferent to
sympathetic in attitude to her. They communicated with her telepathically,
with an instructional message that they meant her no harm.
A
gynaecological examination was conducted on a table, and eggs taken from
her. She was told her eggs were going to help found a new lease of life
for their race. They also said they were refugees from a dying planet, and
that we were/are also doomed. She has no idea how she left the space but
then all three humans were back in the vehicle. (UFOIC.)
1967 NSW 1
female [4]
In 1967, a 20 year old woman recalled multiple abductions
over the years. These recollections occurred partially consciously and
partly under hypnosis. Fragmentary memories are of several shortish beings
with big eyes, a line mouth, small nose, no ears and big heads. They were
wearing an elastic style body suit, and moved like walking on
air.
The beings communicated telepathically with her to say they
were refugees from a dying planet, and they had difficulty in their
reproduction. They also informed her she would forget the abduction, but
that they would return. She was examined by the beings and something
inserted into her left ear by a long, thin needle.
On board the UFO
was a normal atmosphere. She met a being who made her believe it was tall
and handsome, whereas it was really short, and there were also a group of
old men who reminded her of a group of Greek philosophers.
(UFOIC.)
1969 Adelaide South Australia 1 female Susan [4]
A
thirty-one year old woman, "Susan", living in Adelaide has told that at
age 10 or 11 she was abducted from her bedroom by one tall entity, and a
group of small, entities who entered the room via the bedroom door. The
smaller beings were some 120cm tall, with large baldheads. They had large
eye sockets, no visible pupils, with dark blue or black eyes, and a slit
mouth, and a small nose. The taller being seemed to be in command, and was
some 210cm tall. She was levitated off the bed and taken to a circular
"room" where she received a medical examination whilst lying on a metal
table. The next conscious recollection was of waking up in her own bed.
Regression sessions documented her abduction claim. This woman also
recounts numerous lifelong episodes of such things as poltergeist
activity, the sense of a presence in one house she lived in, being told
she levitated whilst asleep, seeing objects such as children's tricycles
moving by themselves, experiencing apparitions, precognitive visions,
telepathy and spirit photographs. There are also claims of unusual
implants in her face. X-rays of these were taken. One shows an apparent
anomaly, whilst a second more detailed one shows nothing unusual
present.
In addition there is fragmentary recall of a number of
other abductions. The case was set in the context of the woman reporting
being an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

Sep/Oct 1970 Sydney NSW 1 male [4]
One night in Sep/Oct 1970 in Sydney, a boy aged 15 noticed a
red/orange glow in the bush close to his home. He took his dog and went to
investigate. Getting closer to it he saw a glow illuminating the area. His
dog became excited and dashed into the bush. There next appears to be a
discontinuity in his physical and emotional reactions-an apparent period
of "missing time". He next recalled seeing an owl fly past him and he
could hear his own internal thought: "There's something I should
remember." Strangely, he felt comfortable with this, lost interest in the
glow and went home.
Regression in August and September 1992
uncovered an event at age three or four in Kent, England where he recalled
a red glow in his bedroom. He found himself in a forest near his home with
a female presence like a praying mantis. He then recalls floating in a vat
of warm fluid.
Regressed to the 1970 incident, he recalls seeing
two aliens outside a ship, then being inside the ship where he was
examined (UFORA91036. Keith Basterfield, Julia Elsbeth and Peter
Jones.)
1972 Largs Bay SA 1 female “Carol” [4]
"Carol", a
twenty-seven year old, housewife, reported a lifelong series of
experiences which commenced with a CE1 when she was aged six. This was
followed by other UFO experiences, poltergeist activity, telepathy,
precognitive dreams, an out-of-body experience, lucid dreams, and
hypnagogic imagery plus sleep paralysis episodes, amongst other things. Of
particular interest was a recurrent nightmare of encounters with a strange
dwarf in an unusual room. Memories of some of these events were triggered
after watching an "Unsolved mysteries" segment on abductions on
television.
Under regression, recollection eventuated of an
apparent abduction at age nine. One night in 1972 she was getting ready
for bed when she saw an entity outside her bedroom window. One point two
to one point five metres tall, it had a big head, a pointed chin, huge
yellow eyes, a skinny little white coloured body which glowed, no nose or
mouth, and no ears. She was then somehow floated up to a light in the sky
which became a UFO. She has no recall of actually entering it, but next
became aware of being in a room on a table lying on her back.
There
were a number of entities in this room, with one particular one leaning
over her. She could only see its head, as it was very close by. It had a
big head, with a pointed chin, and dark black, almond shaped eyes and a
yellow coloured body. She felt these beings were "doctors." A black
"match" was applied to her leg above her right knee. The closest being
told her telepathically that: "It's all right. Won't be long. Won't hurt."
The shape in the ceiling and the shapes behind the orange glow faded, and
her next recollection was of being in her own bed.
Partial
recollections of a second possible abduction at age fifteen, ran into a
memory block. A friend of hers participated in some of the experience,
which involved a light illuminating a cabin they were occupying.
Regression of this second woman confirmed parts of Carol's story but not
the abduction.
The above material emerged at a time when the woman
advised that she was undergoing therapy for being an adult survivor of
childhood sexual abuse. (UFORA89036. UFO Research SA/Keith
Basterfield.)
1976 Elliott NT 1 male [4]
An old man is said to
have been abducted after a bright object landed near him. Beings alighted
and took him aboard. He said they asked him questions about life on Earth
and our activities, before they returned him, unharmed to the pick up
point. (1. UFO Research NSW. 2. Pony Godic 1989.)
1978-1982 NSW 1
female [4]
A Sydney woman woke up feeling agitated and heard a voice.
Figures appeared and said to come with them. She went through a doorway
into a room where she was shown a scene on a screen. This screen showed
pictures of her then, future life, which later came true. (Bill Chalker
1989.)
June 1987 Qld 0030hrs 1 male Michael Desmarquet [4]
A 60
year old man awoke with a feeling of confusion and an awareness of a
presence. Michael wrote a note for his wife that he would be away for 10
days, but not to worry. He went outside, to see the rainforest tinged with
a blue light. There was an apparent spatial distortion. Then a being 3m
tall spoke to him. He was told he had been chosen to relay a message. The
two of them were taken away by a spacecraft to a remote planet. Here he
learned of many things. He was finally returned. (Desmarquet,
M).
1979 Melbourne Vic 2300hrs 1 male Mark [4]
A man named Mark
retired to bed one night at about 11 p.m. Shortly after closing his eyes
he lost all sense of sound and feeling and found himself travelling in a
tunnel through space. Looking forwards he noted a light at the end of the
tunnel. His next awareness was of lying on a table in a "craft". He was
medically examined by three beings. One of the beings seemed to be a
female human, with long blonde hair. The other two were some one point
five metres tall, fat, and of a dark brown colour. These latter two had
plumpish faces, large eyes, a large nose, bigger lips and ears than us.
They addressed him in English, and seemed like scientists. When they
introduced a "scanner" to check him over he "freaked out" and woke up in
his own bed. All his teeth felt numb and his knuckles were white. (Garry
Little 1984.)
Oct 1992 Melbourne Vic 1 female Sharon [4]
Sharon,
a psychology graduate woke up one morning and told her husband of an
experience during the night. She had been up late studying, and woke in a
half sleep state. She woke to find the room brilliantly lit. She was then
taken up into the light. Next thing, beings were around her and placed her
on a table. An impression was conveyed to her that the process following
would be uncomfortable but not painful. She got the impression they were
going to take eggs from her ovaries. She then felt something going into
her stomach. She was told not to be frightened. Then she was told she was
going back and that she was going to feel the event was not real. Next
thing she was in bed, conscious. Later she saw an item about abductions on
TV. (UFORA92148. Keith Basterfield.)
7 Aug 1993 Belgrave Victoria
[4]
Six people, three groups, one of three people, a couple, and a
single male, in three separate vehicles independently reported their
involvement in an highly strange incident. It appears all groups stopped
their vehicles to watch a large object descend in a paddock, following
which a group of tall entities emerged and approached the three groups.
The couple next recalls being back in their motor vehicle, and both
feeling ill, and that a period of missing time had occurred. Upon reaching
home, and before going to bed, one of the women, Kelly noted a red,
triangular mark beneath her navel and a small “cut” on her bikini line
similar to a laparoscopy marking. This cut seemed only a couple of days
old. Later Kelly was hospitalised for unexplained bleeding. Out of the car
containing the three people, both women recalled being abducted onboard a
UFO, and later finding physical marks on their bodies which were
photographed. John Auchettl related finding confirmatory physical evidence
at the site of the encounter. (1. Kelly Cahill 1993. 2. John Auchettl
1994. 3. Keith Basterfield 1994.)
5 June 1999 Sydney NSW [4]
At
2100hrs Laszlo Novak sighted three bright star-like objects hovering in a
vertical formation just below clouds. He was able to capture 5 minutes of
video. Later at 2220hrs he again sighted three disc like objects
travelling silently to the south. One large object was closer, and looked
like two saucers placed together. It hovered for 5-10mins but he could not
get his video camera to work. Hypnotherapist Frank Wilks worked with
Laszlo who recalled being taken on board and examined by up to four almond
shaped eyed grey beings. While on board he saw a second human present.

Born in Finland in 1950 she has recollections that at
age seven or eight she was abducted. She recalls being on a table of some
kind, with bright, very white lights above her. A big, long needle was
pushed into her chest. This needle insertion left her with a mole-like
mark. On another occasion she was asleep at home, woke feeling paralysed
when a being or beings appeared. They were 1.3m tall, with large, black
eyes and a large head. Communication was via telepathy. They told her they
meant no harm. She has fragmentary memories of four abductions in all.
(Personal communications to Keith Basterfield 1993.)

"A young girl saw a UFO head down into
a nearby forest during the night. She went to investigate. She remembers
encountering "a small man" working on the outside of a strange object, and
being signalled to stay away. The girl recollects being taken for a ride,
ostensibly in the object she saw, and seeing an aerial view of her home
town through the floor of the UFO. She does not remember how she got home,
but clearly recalls getting a spanking for going to bed with dirty feet
and soiling the sheets. Her left knee had been grazed." (Chalker, Bill.

year old woman experienced an abduction. She was asleep at home in a
suburban setting, and her first memory was of lying on a table in a UFO.
The table was a sterile looking, aluminium-like table, in a circular room.
The room had three operating tables in one part, and seating in another.
It was cold.
Two types of being were present. There were two of one
type, 155cm tall, with an elongated head. No mouth or nose was visible and
ears were set back. They wore silver suits and moved normally. Numerous of
the other type were seen. These were 145cm tall with elongated heads. They
were clumsy in their movements. The two in silver suits appeared in
control with the smaller ones as servants. She saw other humans, including
her sister, on board, on seats attached to the wall. They seemed to be in
a trance state. The beings seemed indifferent to her and did not
communicate. However, they did communicate with each other from their
throats with sounds similar to that of a cricket.
An examination of
her was carried out as they pummelled her stomach, although she could not
see that they were doing. She is unsure how she returned to bed, but she
can recall being in bed watching the small beings backing out of the room.

1974 Clifton Bore SA 1 male [3]
"A man
hunting for fossils in flat desert country was suddenly approached by two
short beings who beckoned him to come with them. He was taken into an
externally small object, which was impossibly much larger inside. Twenty
or more similar beings were also inside. He was offered a drink, then
passed out. He awoke and found himself on the floor of the object. He saw
two human female children in a cage-like structure who seemed to be in a
trance. The man felt he had somehow been rejected by the beings. A doorway
suddenly opened in front of him. He stepped out and found himself back on
the desert floor. He rejoined a companion and found he had been away for
one and a half hours." (1. Chalker, Bill. (1989). "Abducted?" Australian
Penthouse. Nov. p37. 2. Australian Flying Saucer Research

1977 Belmont NSW 1 female Stella H. [3]
Sharing a
caravan with her husband, a woman suddenly found herself outside the van
in an “astral state.” A beam of light shone on her and she was drawn into
an elongated, wingless UFO. Several beings were present. Olive skinned
with black eyes, they wore one piece, black, flying suits. Communication
was by telepathy and a number of messages were conveyed to her. She woke
in bed to hear the noise of the object leaving. (Personal communication to
Keith Basterfield 16/11/92.)
1978 Wynnum Qld 1130hrs 1 female/2
males “Washburns” [3]
At a lecture Budd Hopkins was approached by a
middle aged couple who showed him a set of unusual red coloured photos.
They told Budd that they should have been in the photo but were not. Under
regression, Jenny recalled an invisible UFO which took her from a
playground as her husband took a photo. On board were several small
figures. Jenny then found herself nude on a table and was given a
gynaecological exam. She and the boys were then returned to the playground
where she saw her husband, camera still in hand. They then all returned to
normal. Under regression Sam recalled seeing the family being taken up.

1979 Nildottie SA 2 males Don & Jack [3]
Don and
Jack recounted an abduction experience, which is said to have occurred
near the River Murray. Going outside, they encountered European-looking
people who took them to a large, silver craft. This took off. After being
subjected to psychological testing for several hours, they became aware of
being back at their kitchen table. Both men passed away within two years
of the event. (1. AIUFOFSR. 2."Pix-People" magazine. 26/7/88. 3. Chalker,

Sep 1979 Jindabyne NSW 2 males [3]
Two young men, out
hunting, reported seeing a bright white, spherical, light on the ground
some little distance away. Next night it was seen again. In 1983 one of
the men began recalling memories of a two hour time lapse on one of those
nights.
He consciously recalled that a blue light surrounded them
both as they went near the object. They were floated through a hatch into
a grey coloured, rectangular room in the UFO. After being put on two
"benches" they were examined by several tall beings. The beings were
hairless, grey, and had grey bulges where we have eyes. Slit like mouths
and flat noses, with no ears were described. During the examination, and
without tearing their clothes, the beings connected "wires" to the men.
The reporting man, felt "used" as if a specimen. They were then
returned to the original spot where they had been. (1. Moravec, M. (1984).

investigation.)
1982 Qld 1 female [3]
A woman, in her late
forties, recounts that during sleep she found herself in a spaceship. The
entities present, both male and female, were all human looking. There were
also a few other human being abductees, present also. She would not let
the entities examine her as she was pregnant. The beings were apparently
disturbed at having made a mistake saying they did not touch pregnant
women. One being showed her how the baby would look when born, which the
woman says was accurate. This was followed by a tour around the ship. Her
next memory is of being back on Earth in the countryside. Suddenly she
found herself in her bed. (UFORA90047. Bill Chalker.)
1984 Central
Coast NSW (1800-1900hrs) 1 male “Rod” [3]
Rod recalled a CE3 event near
Peats Ridge. A disc-like object on the ground. He noted “busts” of two
“ugly” entities inside a transparent dome. Under regression he recalled a
“vision” of fire and devastation; being on a spacecraft (?) on an alien
planet. It then became clear he was reporting as if he were viewing from
the alien’s perspective. (UFOIC Dec 1992.)
Ca 1988 Adelaide SA 1
female “Jan” [3]
A married woman. "Jan", went to bed one night and
during the night had a very vivid experience which she believes was not a
dream. She found herself in this white space. Present were three entities.
They were some two point one metres tall, and covered in "gowns". She
wasn't frightened as the beings emitted a beautiful feeling. She had a
discussion with them. When she woke the next morning she had a vivid
recall of the events of the night apart from the content of the
conversation. Personality changes ensued subsequent to that night. Since
then she has reported episodes of sleep paralysis and other unusual
activity. (UFORA91037. Keith Basterfield.)
1988 Sydney NSW 1 male
Peter Khoury [3]
On 12 July 1988 a 24 year old man had gone to bed in
the family house, leaving his father and brother watching the TV. He came
out three hours later to find the other two men asleep in front of the TV.
They thought that only 10 minutes had gone by. Five aliens were involved.
There were two tall gold types, and three small grey types in robes. There
was ESP communication and a needle was put into his head. Under hypnosis
recalls being in a room, not his own, in another place. Powerful lights
beyond a doorway. Since then, anomalies experienced include a ball of
light, explosions, electrical interference. Wife has seen some of these.
23 Jul 1992. Returning home from taking his wife to the railway
station, he returned to bed and fell asleep. All of sudden he sat bolt
upright in bed. There were two female aliens on the bed. A blonde, and a
dark-haired woman. After a while they simply disappeared. Later, Peter
found a hair wrapped round his penis. DNA analysis was performed. The
blonde hair DNA fitted only a female of Chinese Mongoloid origin as the
owner. (Chalker, Bill (1999.) “Strange Evidence.” International UFO
Reporter 24(1):1-16 & 31.)
Jul 1989 Adelaide SA 1 male/1 female
[3]
A man was lying in bed trying to get to sleep when a low pitched
humming noise was heard. His wife, lying alongside him, apparently asleep,
said he was not to worry, do as they say. He couldn't work out what she
meant, and suddenly found himself paralysed. Next he found himself
floating along the hall passageway into the lounge. Entering the lounge he
saw his son in the arms of a strange being, one point seven five metres
tall, it was of a greenish/white colour. It appeared human-like.
Next he recalls lying down in a room. In this room was a non human
being. He described it as having an oval shaped head, big black eyes, the
shape of eggs. There was no nose, just two holes, and a small slit of a
mouth. Then he was floated back and went to sleep in his own
bed.
Next morning both he and his wife felt very strange. She can
recall talking in her sleep, but not the words she used. She says she felt
a presence during the night but was not afraid. She has a memory of being
on a table with some people looking at her. She felt she had been
investigated, then drifted back to her bed. Hypnotic regression of both
witnesses confirmed the above details. (UFORA91098-Keith Basterfield and
Peter Jones.]
Feb 1993 Adelaide SA 1 female [3]
A three and a
half-year-old girl told her mother about an occasion when “the boys” came
through her bedroom window. She was taken into a craft by these beings,
after her six-year-old sister, who had been present, was told by the
beings that she had to go into the next bedroom. This event coincided with
a time when the girl talked about monsters in her room, and became afraid
to stay in the room, and began wetting the bed. However, the above details
were not related to the mother until four to five weeks later.

Halidon SA 1 female Mrs A. [2]
A Mrs A. was out rounding up cattle when
she came across a landed object resting on legs. Three male figures
emerged and floated to the ground. They were of normal human appearance,
wearing silver suits, silver boots and a hood over their heads. She was
taken willingly into the object, into a room where there were, what today,
would be called computer consoles. The beings communicated with her
verbally and told her things about herself they should not have known. She
was then returned to the ground. (Personal investigation-K. Basterfield

Late 1956 Near Hughenden Qld 1 female Miss L. [2]
A
12-year-old girl, Miss L. was crossing a paddock on the family farm when
she felt a strange force upon her, and heard a soft hum. She felt as if
she was being lifted off the ground and fainted. She awoke to find herself
in a strange, large room with two men in silver white ski-suits. There was
no attempted communication by the men. After surveying the room, which
featured a coloured galaxy display on one wall, the girl felt enormous
pressure and again lost consciousness. The room was not furnished. She
noted an arched doorway leading into a corridor; that there were
porthole-like windows along one wall; and that the room had no joins or
seams. She found herself back at the farm, but in a different paddock,
with a huge saucer shaped object hovering above her before it subsequently
ascended rapidly to the west. The girl determined that two hours had
elapsed since she initially lost consciousness. (1. Chalker, Bill. (1989).

1962-1991 North of Cairns Qld 1 female Debra S. [2]
A
woman who lived on the Atherton Tablelands reported seeing UFOs all the
time. She had horrific recurring nightmares. Her sister told her they had
both been on a spaceship. The aliens showed her things onboard. She often
cried out at night in strange languages. She was not certain whether the
experiences were dreams or not. She read "Communion" after getting a
reaction to seeing the face on the book cover. Up to two years previously,
incidents of waking up to see a small, hooded figure in her bedroom, with
some kind of instrument. (UFOIC 1993.)
1964 onwards Qld 1 female
[2]
A married, 29-year-old, female social welfare student recalled four
specific episodes.
At age three she was in her cot and woke to find
the room "filled with people looking like doctors," 10 to 12 of them. At
this stage she shared a room with her mother and believes they examined
both herself and her mother. The beings each had a glow of light around
them, and for some reason she had a feeling of closeness to two of them.
They felt female. This episode was recollected, when she later, for the
first time saw a magazine picture of an operation.
At age 19 she
recalls being taken from bed and floated out of the window up to a
"spaceship," which had been hovering over the house.
At age 20 she
was "floated' out of the back door, on a bright moon-lit night. She can
recall the wind in her hair, and being floated back the same
way.
At age 28 a further incident occurred. No known details have
been documented. (UFORA90046. Bill Chalker.)
1964 Burwood NSW 1
male/1 female [2]
A young girl was in her front yard with her father. A
large craft was seen over the garage. The craft left. Her mother came out
to ask the two of them where they had been. the woman has conscious
recollections of being onboard. (UFOIC.)
1966 Sydney New South
Wales 1 female Hazel [2]
Hazel, related that whilst in Epping, she was
in bed, felt restless, and went to the outside toilet. There was a large,
silvery UFO present. A ramp led to it and she went inside. The ramp closed
behind her. Next day she had only vague recollections of what happened.
However, on seeing the movie CE3 some fragments returned. When she thought
about the episode she had headaches. Inside the UFO were four beings.
There was communication. She felt happy about it-a wonderful experience.
She had a very unhappy life on Earth and was given the choice of staying
here or going with them. She decided to stay because of her children. The
next moment she came to in the kitchen, and then went to bed. She also had
childhood experiences. Aged four to five years, vague figures. Saw three
versions of herself. Figures holding one version, another version in bed
whilst the third version was observing it all. Also in 1964 she awoke from
sleep to find the whole room lit and little figures by the bed. Grey hoods
with no visible faces. (UFORA hotline. UFORA92207.)
11 Aug 1966 Vic
1 female Marlene Travers [2]
A Miss Marlene Travers, of Melbourne, is
reported to have observed a large silver disc land near her. It is claimed
that she was abducted and raped by an alien wearing a loose fitting
metallic green tunic. Investigations reveal this account is most likely a
literary hoax. (1. Binder, O. (1968). "Unsolved Mysteries of the Past".

on his hand. (Bill Chalker.)
July 1972 and subsequently Frankston
Vic 1 female Maureen Puddy [2]
Mrs Maureen Puddy reported observing a
disc shaped object in the sky. Later she related that her car stopped
itself as the same object hovered overhead. Several months later she
recounted being "mentally" abducted into a round room, and of observing an
entity there, one point six metres tall, wearing a ski-suit and apparently
male. This room was evenly lit, but there was no apparent source of
illumination. This latter event took place whilst two other people,
Victorian UFO Research Society investigators Paul Norman and Judith Magee,
were physically present with Mrs Puddy. However, they only reported that
Mrs Puddy lapsed into unconsciousness, and verbally described to them what
was happening to her, to them. On a later occasion she said the entity
again appeared to her when she was driving her car. (1. Garry Little and

1974 Elizabeth SA 2 females [2]
A woman recalled that as a
nine year old girl, she and a friend observed a UFO at close range in
suburban Elizabeth. As she had memories of observing the object from two
different angles of view, but no recollections of moving between the two
locations, she suspected a period of missing time might have
occurred.
Regressed to the day of the incident, she felt her head
buzzing, then she recalled being in a room of some kind, and of seeing a
face on a small pointed head, with pointed ears. In addition she recalled
someone walking towards her- a silver glow around its body. A thick metal
"skewer" featured which she said was: "to take out fluid." Nothing further
could be elucidated. (UFORA89037. UFORSA/Keith

1977-1989 Adelaide SA 1 female [2]
A 34 year-old
woman related at least three unusual episodes. The occasions of interest
to us involve finding herself in an alien environment which were the
second and third of her three experiences. One night she suddenly found
herself recalling that she had somehow been in a very large room where
there were a large number of human-like beings, including a human child
about age ten. The room showed no apparent source of illumination. It was
warmly lit-a very light soft blue colour. Breathing was no problem,
gravity was normal and the temperature was skin temperature. She can
recall conversing with the child. On the following occasion she had
retired to bed when she found herself drifting through tunnels. Suddenly,
she was in a room. This time the people present were not human. They had
pointed faces, large heads, and slanted very dark blue eyes. Their heads
were quite swollen at the forehead, with their ears being little, with no
lobes as such. They had thin bodies, were grey in colour and short in
stature. One of the female aliens was carrying a baby. The baby had its
arms outstretched and the witness asked to hold and nurse it. Suddenly,
she knew she had to go and found herself back in bed. She quickly fell
asleep. In her teens she underwent precognitive dreams, and later in life
(continuing) precognitive visions. (UFORA89016. Ray Brooke and Keith
Basterfield.)
1980 Melbourne Vic 0205hrs 1 female Diane [2]
She
awoke paralysed during the night to find a figure next to the bed. She
reported being taken to another planet with white dwellings. Diane went on
to found and promote a contactee oriented group. (Keith Basterfield.

24 Oct 1981 Port Lincoln SA 2 males [2]
Two young men,
Messrs P. and J. were travelling in a car near Port Lincoln when they
encountered a "white endless space" or room where a time loss of several
hours is said to have occurred. During this lost time they have vague
memories of a "being" and recalled "...walking into a big room." Just
prior to the "space" they had been watching a mysterious light in the sky.
Arrangements to have the two men undergo full investigation was
unsuccessful. The being was described as one point two metres tall, and
humanoid. (1. Keith Basterfield/Pony Godic-personal investigation 1981. 2.

the sign of the cross with her tongue and the figure was “sucked out of
the room.”
Brisbane, aged 42. Suddenly found herself in “a space with a
lot of empty rooms.” Like a doctor’s waiting rooms. People came to get
her. These beings walked her “through the wall.” She then lay on a table,

1988 Adelaide SA 1
male [2]
A man reported that he became aware of a presence in his
bedroom. He was overwhelmed with fatigue and fell asleep. His next memory
was of being pushed down a long, shiny, metal corridor on a "bed" of some
kind. He then entered a brightly lit, sterile room. He was placed on an
"operating table" which was so brilliantly lit he couldn't see surrounding
things clearly. He came to in his bed a couple of hours later. Next
morning he reports paralysis of one arm. Reportedly medical examination,
including x-rays were not able to determine a cause for this.
He
further relates being abducted the next evening, but has almost no
memories of this. Next morning his arm was healed but he couldn't move one
leg. The most recent experience occurred on 24 Oct 1988, when he woke to
see a group of short human-like beings at the foot of his bed. Three or
four stood back while one approached. He described this one as one metre
in height, with a large head and big eyes, looking like a white glowing
light. (Bell, N. R. "Encounters of the 'Fourth Kind'." The Golden Age. Feb
1989. pp10-11 & 21.)
1988 Adelaide SA 1 male “Frank” [2]
A
man reported that he was in two-way communication with aliens via an
implant in his ear. During an investigation it was revealed that he had
undergone two apparent out-of-body experiences where he was "sucked out"
of his body. He indicated that during these episodes he had been taken
onboard a UFO. His account was set in the context of on-going
communication with the Ashtar Command via automatic writing. (UFORSA
1988.)
1994 Adelaide SA 1 female [2]
A woman awoke with a vivid
recollection that during the night she had been naked on a cold, metal
table, lying on her back. Her legs were drawn up; knees up, and her legs
apart. Four or five beings were around her. They had huge, black almond
shaped eyes, a thin slit mouth, no lips, two holes for a nose; and tiny
ears. The head was large and the body thin. Body colour was khaki or a
green tinge. All the beings were looking at her with one being looking
directly into her face. (Personal communication to Keith Basterfield Feb

lashed out with his feet. A shape seemed to stumble backwards. He lost
consciousness, coming too later in a well lit environment with pain in his
left kidney. Finally, at 4 a.m. he woke in his own bed. (Personal

A surveyor experienced a
vision involving heads floating by him, and subsequently observed an "ark"
moving along the same path and landing in Parramatta Park, Sydney. A voice
spoke to him and asked if he wished to enter the ark. He replied that he
would and was "floated" to the object. A "spirit" appeared like a "neutral
tint shade and the shape of a man in his usual frock dress." He was shown
around the ark after which the spirit disappeared. The man awoke next
morning, "deeply impressed with the vision of the night." (Chalker, W. "A

1966-67 NSW 1
male [1]
In 1982/83 the most recent of four abductions occurred to a
man, then 24-25 years of age. The event was recalled entirely by hypnosis.
He was in a moving vehicle in a rural environment when the car engine
stopped. It then started again and he first drove, then walked to the
place of the event. On this occasion there was no UFO but he recalls other
abductions inside a UFO.
4-6 beings were present, 90-105cm tall.
Their heads were elongated and had very large, black, lizard like wrap
around eyes. Mouth, nose and ears were indistinct. The skin was pale, off
white to grey. No clothing was noted, but they had pointed feet. They
moved extremely quickly like film sped up, and seemed indifferent to
him.
The beings communicated with him, feeding
information/images/pictures/colour directly into his mind which was
instructional to worn of a global, Earth crisis.
After some two
hours he walked away, then drove his vehicle from the scene.

contact, was lost with him. Neither he nor the aircraft have ever been
located. (World wide coverage.)

seemed to be like some sort of energy matter. They floated around her bed.
They seemed gentle.
She heard soft voices telling her not to be
afraid, that they would not hurt her. Suddenly it was dark. A voice said,
“Please come with us.” Her next recollection is of being back in bed with
the forms still present. They told her they would always watch over her.

A 31 year-old woman was vacuuming about noon one day
when she felt ill. Suddenly three little beings just appeared in front of
her. One being, appearing female, was some one point five metres tall,
very slender with a very elongated face. The other two, appearing male,
were much shorter, with chubby, broader faces. All three had large eyes,
with a hint of a nose and mouth. Each wore shroud like cloaks.
Telepathically the taller being spoke to her, to tell her she had to go
with them. The woman refused. The next thing she recalls was her fiancé
arriving home at 5.30 p.m. An hypnotic regression revealed little beyond
that of the conscious memories. An interview revealed a number of
paranormal episodes in her life including an OBE, an NDE-like event, and

huge light floating in the air making a rather distinct humming sound,
which vibrated through the air. The witness was getting ready to go
outside his room when suddenly the light expanded and shone on his walls
and an overwhelming sense of “gravity” enveloped him, he could barely
move, he tried to get to the door on his knees, but the gravity was just
to overwhelming and fell to the floor. He felt very sleepy and unusually
tired, he then fell asleep. After an unknown length of time he suddenly
woke up. Slowly coming to his senses he sensed that a huge time gap had

up through the night to an orangey flashing light. She looked at the clock
and saw that it was 0020A; she got up and walked outside and right above
the treetops inside a cloud it looked like orange lights rotating really
low and huge. She was totally stunned and could hear a droning noise like
continuous crickets. She stood there for what seemed like only a few
seconds in disbelief, then she ran inside for her video camera loaded the
film and went back outside and aimed. By this time it had moved over the
east horizon into the distance and was no more than a few inches long. She
was filming between the trees and could see nothing through her viewfinder
but kept filming until it disappeared. When she came back inside the clock
was at 0420A. She went back to bed and awoke at 0745A but the clock had
stopped at 0420A. She felt tired and dazed and ached all over and had
symptoms like she had a cold which continued all day, she could think
straight, was confused and bothered, she knew something had happened but
didn't know what. Whilst taking a shower she noticed a small scar on her
waist, which was flaky and looked like a burn scar. She reported to the
investigator that whilst out with friends she became very vague and
distant from the conversation and unconsciously started to draw strange
symbols, her friends made a comment, "are you alright, what's wrong, you
look like your off with the fairies." She went home early and went to bed,
the next morning she awoke with a nose bleed in her left nostril. When she
checked her video recording from the Monday night experience the tape was

three figures, slowing, small and fierce. They had very long and thin
face, with almost no chin. There were two small openings for a nose, and
their eyes were the largest features on their faces. These were like
almonds, brown like Ayers Rock. He couldn’t see their legs. All three
creatures were the same. Hands like a child’s, thin and small. Their hands
were moving inside his belly, but he could feel no pain. He also recalls
something was done to his head, like something was placed there.
