In 1989, when I saw the cover of Whitney Streiber's novel "Communion" and nearly had a heart attack! The full realization of what I had seen, not an Indian spirit but a grey alien, hit me like a bolt of lightning!

I read "Communion" cover to cover. I could not lay it down. Although, the reliving of the experience made me physically ill, I was compelled to read on. Soon, I was reading every book I could find on the subject and searching the sky for more proof of my experience.

While playing bingo at an Indian reservation I saw a 50 feet saucer. Twenty-five percent of the ship was covered with a very white fuzz that was too white to be a real cloud. Then I saw a rust colored saucer on the ground near San Diego, but I was on a bus and unable to stop!. On January 1st, 1990 at 11 p.m. near Alpine, a ship came down over my car. It was a foggy night but I could tell that the bottom of the ship was bright orange, as if it was on fire! It was approximately 50 feet in diameter, and the thought of exposure to possible radiation scared me! I took off like mad and raced home to San Diego.

I have awoke to find strange marks and bruises on my body and grass on my feet. I do not sleep walk. I believe, when I was abducted that I have resisted because, I've had small two finger size bruises on my arms near my shoulder and I could tell which direction pressure was applied. I believe I have implants up through the right nostril, one in my right ear lobe and one in the scoop mark on the back of my right leg near the inside of my knee. That one bothers me at times with a burning sensation and I think my body is trying to get rid of it as I can feel something there. I wish I knew a MD. and a hypnotist in the St. Paul area I could trust. I would be very interested in a device that would stop abductions and I would buy it now!!! I need one for my daughter too!

I have seen four ships in Minnesota: one over Lake Almo at 11 a.m.; one over White Bear Lake that had "cherry" colored red lights that brightened than dimmed; one over Hastings at 6 p.m.; and the last sighting was on my birthday, Jan 27, 1997, over Bloomington. Every sighting was unique. Although, I am no longer frightened by the abduction experience or the sightings, I do not consciously consent to these excursions into my or my family's personal lives.

I had a LA Times reporter contact me and to tell you the truth I'm a little scared of some of the things that have happened to well-known abductees. I took Sodium Penathol (SPELL) for two different operations and had the doctors ask me a few questions while I was still under. Have you been abducted by Aliens? Did the Aliens put a implant in you? Has this happened allot? My answers were "yes" to all. They couldn't ask questions when they first knock you out because they put you on a respirator but just before you come too they can do this and it works like a truth drug. I really upset one doctor with my answers and he came to me afterwards and tried to convince me it wasn't a truth drug.
