UNEXPLAINED EXPERIENCES: Alien Encounters, Cattle Mutilations, Lost Time, & The Military

I received a very odd email from a woman who recalls several bizarre incidents from her childhood, including possible alien close encounters, lost time, and military monitoring.

"When 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was released my aunt was in town (me starting elementary school). I went with my aunt and grandparents to see it. Aunt Jan started acting all freaked out during the movie (I thought, whatever, she was the hippie in our uptight family). After we got home Aunt Jan blurted out, "Those were the things talking to me from my bedroom TV as a kid on the farm!". My grandparents did the parental "look" and finally my grandmother said, "Jan, we didn't own a single TV when we lived there. They came to your window." That surprised me. My dad and mom moved into the farm after my grandparents built their new house. My bedroom was once Aunt Jan's. I never saw anything.

My dad was driving from San Diego, CA to Lubbock, Texas and while driving across White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico (yes, you once could cross) he experienced 4 hours of lost time but had a full tank of gas on the other side.

Skip to about 3 years later. The southern high-rolling plains of Texas (near Lubbock) had a serious amount of cattle mutilations, many across the railroad tracks from our farm (home). Mom was a veterinarian and was called out by the sheriff to do necropsies. Zero footprints, not even the bovines, zero blood on the ground (yet none in the animals), reproductive organs removed, and no bleeding around said wounds. Laser surgery did NOT exist back then. The press called it satanic. But if so, where was the blood and footprints? A full-grown bull is an easy half-ton plus, gallons of blood. Yet not a drop was found. Taking a half-ton bull to the ground isn't easy, even for the best cowboy.

We were told by the public school system that we were part of an intelligence test. It started in the 6th grade. USAF officers (my granddad was USAF, I know USAF) would show up 2x per year and give us the test. There were only 14 of us. We all topped 160 on the IQ test!. Outside of band or sports, we were sequestered from all our classmates. We had our own classes. I went on to work in hospital finance. Several of my classmates went to MIT and Stanford." KS

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

There is a distinct group of human-like entities that are part of ufology lore and, for the most part, associated with people who experience UFO and otherworldly close encounters. These are the ‘Men in Black’ or MIB. These entities usually show up, unannounced, at an experiencer’s home, seeking information about an incident.

The presence of these MIB became widely known during reported UFO activity (and the Mothman encounters) in the Point Pleasant, West Virginia area in the late 1960s. The journalist and ufologist John A. Keel began writing about the MIB after they made themselves known to the residents. The descriptions of these MIB were somewhat consistent; pale or olive-colored skin, monotone voice, no emotion or expression, dressed in a black suit and fedora, and driving a large black sedan. There were usually two MIB traveling together.

However, the most disconcerting aspect of their presence occurred after they conducted a brief interview. They would warn the witness, in no uncertain terms, not to discuss or report what they had observed. The message was clear. Keep your mouth shut.

Most experiencers and investigators don’t know what to make of the MIB. Are they quasi-government agents? How do they know who to contact? In most instances, they appear not long after an encounter and before a report is ever made. They truly are an enigma. But I believe that there is another explanation for their presence. Namely, that the MIB are an alien 'clean-up' crew who are used to cover up problematic sightings and encounters.

So, what do you think the Men in Black are? Just maintain an open mind, and formulate your theories to this phenomenon. I will present the reports in detail and attempt to answer your questions from the chat room.
