10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Aliens Have Visited Earth

5. The Mid 70's Abduction Wave

On October 10th, 1973, 15 eye witnesses, two of whom were police officers all report seeing a large, silver craft hovering over a housing project in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana.... On October 11th 1973, 2 co-workers, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker went fishing on the west bank of the Pascagoula river in Mississippi. Out of nowhere flashing lights appeared. Then a strange craft materialised in front of them, it was 8ft across and about 8ft high. They say it levitated 2ft off the ground. The rest of the tale is purely eye witness and there is no evidence to corroborate their claims, but you've got the names so please, look it up... 2 years later, November, 5th, 1975, in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona, we have the curious case of Travis Walton, I won't go into the details here, but I will give a brief summary. Travis Walton and his crew of six men, foreman Mike Roger, Ken Peterson, John Goulette, Steve Pierce, Allen Dallis and Dwayne Smith are loggers on a contract. Just after 6 p.m. on November 5, Rogers and his crew pile into Roger's car and head home, towards Snowflake, Arizona. Off in the distance they spot some bright lights. Walton goes out to investigate. They sea a spacecraft. Walton is knocked down by a flashing light. His boys drive off, scared. A state wide search for Walton begins along with a murder investigation. Five days later, Walton is found, disoriented, dehydrated, weak, and hungry... Walton himself has since taken a total of 3 polygraph tests, the first resulted in an inconclusive, though many will argue he straight up failed. However he passed the next two with flying colours. His entire crew was also polygraphed shortly after his disappearance, but before he was found. They all passed the test save for Allen Dallis who is believed to have been on drugs at the time. UFO researchers Jenny Randles and Peter Houghe have said, "Neither before or since has an abduction story begun in the manner related by Walton and his coworkers. Furthermore, the Walton case is singular in that the victim vanished for days on end with police squads out searching ... it is an atypical 'Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind." Walton himself has said: "It was many years ago that I got out of a crew truck in the national forest and ran toward a large glowing UFO hovering in the darkening Arizona sky. But when I made that fateful choice to leave the truck, I was leaving behind more than just my six fellow workmen. I was leaving behind forever all semblance of a normal life, running headlong toward an experience so overwhelmingly mind-rending in it's effects, so devastating in its aftermath, that my life would never-could never-be the same again." Moving onto 1976... If you're looking for another reason never to visit Maine, here's a straight abduction story with all the tropes of an 80's horror film. Except for the sex and murder, which I guess makes it pretty lame... Twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner, along with their friends Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz decide to go on a little camping trip in the woods near Allagash, Maine. It was a fishing expedition. They were in their early 20's and by all accounts, they were going to have the time of their lives. On the night of August 20, they decide to do a little fishing. Just to play it safe, they light a giant fire on the bank next to their camp site on the edge of Eagle Lake. This guarantees they'll find their way back because, you know, flashlights are for idiots. Once out on the river in their canoe, flaming beacon within view, the boys proceed to do some fishing. After a few minutes out on the lake, Rak, the bad boy and lady killer of the crew, notices a light out of the corner of his eye. It hovers above the tree line, silently. Foltz, the brains of the operation, grabs a flashlight and flashes an SOS towards the gigantic, glowing orb, mysteriously levitating several dozen feet in the air above the ominous forest. Suddenly, and beyond all expectation, the orb reacts to their pleas for attention. A shining beam exits the orb and shoots towards them, they're blinded by the light, which was, incidentally speaking, Jack and Jim's favourite song having been released earlier that month in the U.K. At this point, the light envelopes the entire canoe and the four men. In the blink of an eye the men find themselves back on the shore, by their campsite. The craft still hovers just over 12 feet away from them. They stare at it for a little while and suddenly the ship implodes, disappearing and reappearing just on the other side of the river. The fire they had made just a few moments ago, was now mere embers. They'd been gone for 2 hours. The rest of the trip goes without incident, but for the next decade each man is haunted by nightmares of a bizarre nature. In 1988, after Jim's visit to a UFO convention the boys finally get to talking and realise that for over ten years they'd all been sharing the same nightmare. A nightmare that includes nudity, rape, medical examinations and the theft of sperm samples, taken directly from the source, using syringes. Raymond Fowler, a host of the convention and Jim's new confidant, takes interest in their story. Being familiar with scientific methods of investigation, Fowler suggests the four men undergo regressive hypnosis. It is then determined that all men had been part of an abduction. They have since all passed lie detector tests confirming they believe what they claim. Now, I know what you're thinking. Abductions are all well and good, and regressive hypnosis is practically as valid as a closed circuit camera feed, but where's the evidence? Well dear reader, all you had to do was ask...
