94 reliving it, and she obliged. “| can see my hands twitching,” she said. “The wristbands are making my fingers twitch and jerk. I’m lying there with the headband on, and my eyes are open. The pupils are dilated like I’m dead.” She then described a procedure in which a clear tube was inserted vaginally and filled with “a pinkish liquid” as one of the women pressed on Angie’s abdomen. When she was revived, the blond man tried to “jolly” her out of her terrified state, and she was returned to the van, which exited the cigar-shaped craft by flying out of the opening “on its own,” as Angie reported. “We’re coming down to the road,” she said, “I can see it clearly because it’s daytime, and the van lands smoothly on the road. It’s moving by itself for a minute, and that’s when | notice it’s going in the wrong direction. We were going the other way before they took us.” “What is your father doing now?” the hypnotist asked. “He sort of shakes his head,” she said, “like he’s perplexed, and he keeps driving.” In August and September 1993, Angie recalled three other encounters, including one in which she saw her father aboard the same craft. When she questioned him, he described an abduction memory from that same night, although he didn’t recall seeing Angie. In another, she was given information about alien life in other parts of the galaxy, about their travel technology, and about their having created life forms on Earth, including humans. But the next month, the abduction and encounter scenarios changed abruptly, beginning on October 2, when Angie woke up and found herself downstairs in a guest room with “a youthful male humanoid” wearing “an oversized red plaid shirt, faded jeans, and black leathery boots.” Angie felt in control of her senses, unlike some previous situations, and asked the young man several questions, including his origins. In spite of his very human appearance, he told her he and his kind were “extraterrestrials” and wanted to know if the term made her feel uneasy. “No,” she replied, “I’m not afraid of you any more.” She could see a silvery disk outside the house and assumed she would be taken there, but instead the man embraced her and she became partially paralyzed from the chest up. Then he lay her on the floor and had intercourse with her, after which she felt faint and passed out. She remembered this occurring again, on the nights of October 3 and 4, and on the morning after the October 3 encounter Angie awoke with blood dripping from her nostril and increasing congestion and pain in her shoulder. In spite of this, she had not been upset by the three encounters, and since the intercourse had not been frightening, she wondered why the man had induced the partial paralysis and subsequent loss of consciousness. Four nights later, she went through an encounter that was far less pleasant. Angie went to bed very late that night, around 1:30 a.m., and folded her clothes neatly on a bedside table before turning out the light. In what seemed like only a few minutes later, she awoke fully alert, listening to the sound like a jet engine that was loud and getting louder. Her next perception was that she was not in the bedroom, but rather standing completely dressed in an unfamiliar grassy clearing in the woods near an old dirt road. And she wasn’t alone. “With me were three apparently frightened young women,” Angie described. “One was lying face-down in the grass weeping.” Angie became frightened herself, for the first time since her initial abduction. “My instincts said that we were about to be abducted by a force so great that we would not
