We came up out of that field and over the ditch as if it were nothing, and then back onto the road.” She said she got control of the car again and jammed her foot down on the accelerator, speeding all the way home. “I knew something was wrong the moment she walked into the house,” her husband, John Malley, told reporters. “‘I thought maybe she had had an accident with the car or something.” The next day Mrs. Malley learned that her friend had been in a serious automobile accident the night before. She told her incredible story to local civilian UFO investigators, and later the Syracuse, New York, Herald- her name. For years now, apparently sincere people have been relating unbeliev- able experiences similar to Mrs. Malley’s. Some of the UFO factions have battled to ridicule and suppress such contactee tales, fearing that they serve to discredit the situation. But they keep coming in, year after year, from every corner of the globe. Reporters and investigators who inter- viewed Mrs. Malley came away convinced that she was telling the truth as she knew it. “Days later, when memories of the episode would flood her mind,” the Syracuse Herald-American noted, ‘‘she would break down sobbing all over again.” Her story does contain several important details that have cropped up in many other little-known UFO encounters. A large percentage of these events seem to occur when a small child is present. In this case, the child went into a kind of trance. Such trances are frequently reported. The car itself was taken out of Mrs. Malley’s hands. This seizure of control of mechanical objects—even of airplanes in midflight—is also a common factor. Mrs. Malley’s extreme emotional reaction to the event, even days afterward, is still another key point. Finally, if her story is true, she was given absolute proof (to her) that the UFO not only knew her identity but knew of her relationship to a distant person and even knew that that other party was involved in an accident. All of this is a pretty big pill to swallow for those who have not followed events like this carefully over a long period of time. In many cases, the ufonauts have convincingly demonstrated that they have total knowledge of the individual percipients and that they can even foretell thelr future. ‘There is a superabundance of historical documentation which plainly indicates that these objects and their elusive occupants have always been 60 / Operation Trojan Horse
