Year: 1975 Country: United States When it comes to alien abduction stories and UFO sightings, the identity of the person telling the tale is hugely important when it comes to identifying the tale's validity. Therefore, it was a particularly exceptional case when an Air Force Sergeant named Charles L. Moody publically claimed to have been inside an alien craft. While observing a meteor shower in Alamogordo desert, New Mexico, Moody saw a circular metal craft floating to the ground only a few hundred metres away. While descending, the craft suddenly began to move towards him. Moody ran to his car, but the vehicle would not start. The UFO was now only around 70 feet away, and Moody could see a human shaped form observing him from a window. After hearing a high-pitched sound, Moody felt numb, then saw the craft fly away. Shaken by the incident, Moody arrived home after a long drive, but was shocked when he saw that the time was 3AM. He worked out that he could not account for around an hour and a half. In the days following the encounter, Moody began to experience lower back pains, and a rash broke out across his entire body. Moody tried a form of self-hypnosis in order to remember what had happened during those 90 minutes. After a few weeks, he remembered that two tall beings had approached him while he was numb. Although Moody attempted to fight them off, he fell unconscious. Moody woke up on a table inside the craft, totally paralysed, and a shorter alien telepathically communicated with him, asking if he would cooperate. Moody agreed, and the paralysis ended. After a short tour of the ship, Moody was told that there was a large mother ship above Earth, and that the beings would return to Earth again in two decades time. In response to Moody's claims, Charles McQuiston subjected him to his invention, the Psychological Stress Evaluation. Supposedly able to prove whether or not someone is lying, McQuiston concluded that Moody was being totally truthful about his encounter.
