Chapter Four so that a deeper state could be achieved and we could “deal” with this thing. Then, I brought her out. We discussed a future appointment and she agreed that she would like to try again and that was that, except for the fact that she called and cancelled on the day of the next appointment. In considering the implications of this session, there were just too many unknowns, too many things that didn’t make sense. What could happen on the side of a snowy highway that could be so dreadfully traumatic that it induced pain to even approach it? I could think of no scenario whatsoever that was so bad that it would not be remembered with emotional distance techniques in place. Even if the subject had just turned off the highway to rest, and a gang of psychopaths had grabbed them and forced them to participate in some bizarre Satanic ritual, that didn’t compute because it could not explain why, against all laws of probability, they would be let them go on their journey with only a cut hand. Was Frank right? Had this woman and her son been abducted by aliens? Did they have some technology that could implant a “pain block” to memory of the event? That was just too far-fetched. I didn’t buy it. There had to be something else, but what it was I simply could not imagine. In the following weeks, a series of events occurred that really upset my self-assurance that all of this was just psychological suppression of ordinary human trauma. The newspapers and TV news shows began reporting multiple sightings of UFOs in the area. From the middle of April until the end of the month, more than a dozen people in Pasco, Hernando and Pinellas counties in Florida claimed to have seen a large, boomerang-shaped craft moving across the sky. The witnesses included a Hernando County sheriff’s deputy, who said the craft carried no markings, had a row of blue lights and he estimated the wingspan at around 200 feet. He had observed it for several minutes before it Something about these stories bugged me. After the whole affair died down, I assembled the reports in chronological order, since some people gave their reports only after seeing that someone else had done so before them, and the order of the reports in the news was not the order of the sightings. I realized that the very first sighting of the black boomerang shaped objects had had been made by a person who lived only a few blocks away from my home on the evening of Thursday, April 15, at the exact time I was conducting my hypnosis session with the woman who lost 50 miles between the blue light and the red light. What was even more upsetting was that the witness’s description accelerated to a speed that was impossible for any man-made craft.
