   I read "CHRIS.CO", the account of the "Abduction"  of Christopher Young
   and  I  would like to say that I found it very interesting.   I   found
   several  things of special interest in the interview that I would  like
   to  relate with the users of Paranet Alpha.  These items I recall  from
   personal experiences, "Dreams",  and from other people telling me about
   strange things that happened to them.

   I  have  uploaded my close encounter to Paranet Alpha sometime  in  the
   past. A quick review of that encounter follows.

   I was 17  or 18  years old and was returning home from the skating rink
   with a friend about midnight.  As we rounded the bend on route 100  and
   came  in view of the power tower hill which over-looks the little  town
   of Pearl,  Ill. we observed a bright light hovering over the hill. That
   hill  has  a large power line tower on the top of it that runs  to  the
   power  plant  about a mile away near the river.  The hill itself has  a
   limestone  quarry beside it and a limestone mine dug into it.   I   had
   always  thought  of  the power tower being the major reason  why  these
   bright  lights (U.F.O.'s)  came and hovered over this hill from time to
   time.   After watching Geraldo show about the landing pad in which  Jim
   Speiser (Sysop Paranet Alpha)  was guest on the show, I  considered the
   limestone quarry as well.

   As Butch and I entered the town limits of Pearl we stopped,  got out of
   the  car and watched the light in the sky hoping to determine  what  it
   was.  Moments later the object moved toward us. There was no sound from
   the object just a bright silver white glow. It moved toward us until it
   was directly in front of us at tree top level.  I  had not noticed that
   Butch  had started to get back into the car as I was mezmerized by  the
   object.   Butch  was frightened by the object and was in a  rather  big
   hurry to leave which cut our encounter short.

   The  object  lifted  up slowly and then moved over the Old  Pearl  hill
   where it appeared to land.

   I have had a few times in my life where events were "missing" and I had
   no recollection of what had taken place,  these times I recall now were
   always when I was alone. I recall nothing of a "close encounter" during
   these  times  but always felt as though I were not alone.  At  times  I
   would  have  the  feeling that someone were reviewing  my  thoughts  or
   "reading  my mind",  this happens yet today but not as often as it once
   did.   I  have had no other "close encounters"  that I can recall yet I
   have had strange intense "dreams"  where I was in a space craft of some
   kind traveling and learning of space and life on other worlds.  In  one
   that  I  recall there was a larger being standing to my right  who  was
   pointing out locations on a large viewer screen.  These locations  were
   highlighted  by  red "stars"  (lights)  on the viewer  and  represented
   locations  where  life exists in our Galaxy.  When I woke up I  drew  a
   picture of what I had seen on the viewer and indicated as closely as  I
   could the locations in the Galaxy where the red lights had appeared.  I
   remembered  asking the being to my right where my solar system was  and
   he  indicated a red light off to the far edge of the Galaxy  which  was
   virtually alone and not near any of the other "red lights".

   Knowing virtually nothing about the stars I had no idea where our solar
   system  was in relationship to our Galaxy.  Not long ago I saw a map of
   our Galaxy showing the location of our solar system.  That map and that
   location reminded me of the map I had drawn several years before.   The
   location  of  our system was the same in this map as in the one  I  had
   seen on the "viewer" in the space ship. This jogged my memory to recall
   the "dream". I'm willing to pass the entire thing off as an interesting
   dream myself but think it interesting nevertheless.

   While  living  in  Missouri a man who I knew came to me one day  and  I
   could  see he had something on his mind that troubled him.  He said  he
   knew  that  I would hear him out and not pass judgment against him  for
   what  he was about to say.  He said he didn't know anyone else he could
   talk  to about it.  I  asked him what "IT"  was that he wanted to  talk
   about.   He  told me that he believed he had a close encounter  with  a
   female being from outer space.  He went on to describe a being that had
   entered his bedroom one night with which he had a sexual encounter.  He
   said that he had a conversation with this being about things other than
   "sex".  I guess this is what caught my attention at the time causing me
   to regard the experience as something other than "just another  strange
   dream."   He told me he was dizzy the entire time and when it  was  all
   over  he couldn't say if the event was an exceptionally strong  "dream"
   or  "vision",  or if the encounter had actually taken place.  He didn't
   remember waking up so he thinks it was not a dream.  Just the same what
   ever it was troubled him so much that he had to talk with someone about
   it and he picked me at the time.  I  must withhold his name as he is in
   the  ministery  now and I feel sure he would rather not have  his  name
   mentioned in connection with my account of his story.

   I  find  thought and the power of thought a mystery in itself.  If  one
   should  believe  something strong enough and long enough it  becomes  a
   "reality"  to that individual.  In this man's case however I believe he
   had an encounter of some kind. I'm not sure if it was spiritual,  or if
   it was extraterrestrial.

   I  do  not  recall seeing any alien beings face to face  in  dreams  or
   otherwise. My  lapse  of  memory could have been caused by fatigue as I
   was very tired. The account I recall to be the most prominent was while
   I was driving home one night about 1 am.  I was about 8 miles from home
   and I remembered pulling onto a 2 mile straight. I remember it was like
   someone or something was sitting in the passenger's seat,  a   presence
   was there and it was like it was talking with me. The next thing I knew
   I  was waking up the next morning draped over the steering wheel of  my
   car sitting in the drive way wondering how I had gotten home.

   What do I think happened, I don't know. I  had made the trip many times
   and it's possible I went into some form of self hypnosis and drove home
   by reflex action. I  think that is more likely than having an encounter
   with extraterrestrial beings. My sense of some presence could have been
   the result of a dream that I had while in that hypnotic state. I  could
   even call that presence my "guardian angel" if you will.

   I  would  guess  there  are many people who could tell  you  they  were
   driving  somewhere  (while  sober)   when all of  a  sudden  they  find
   themselves  either at their destination or somewhere else and were  not
   able  to recall how they got there.  I  would say the odds were against
   these events being caused by encounters with extraterrestrial beings. I
   believe there is a logical explanation to most of these memory lapses.

   I  do believe in extraterrestrials,  UFO's etc.  as you can see from my
   account of a close encounter. My strange "dreams" about flying in a UFO
   also  cause  me to wonder.  I  do not believe they are the  results  of
   watching sci-fi movies.  I  have a great deal of doubt that I have ever
   been  inside of a UFO in "body".  I  think there might be some form  of
   telepathy  that might explain how a person could have memories of  such
   things.  Referring to 2 Kings of the Bible as a record of history, read
   the  account of Elisha and how he "went in spirit"  to learn secrets (2
   Kings 5:25-26  & 6:8-12). Elisha called it "going in the spirit",  some
   might  call it astro-travel,  others might call it a form of telepathy.
   Paul in the New Testament made record of being in spirit with a  church
   and  knowing  things  that  were  going  on  there.   Was  he  speaking
   figuratively  or did he have the ability to actually "go in spirit"  to
   see what was going on ?

   What if each and every one of us has this "un-trained"  ability causing
   us  to  see  and hear things from another consciousness.   If  so  what
   directs our "subconscious"  to "tune"  into other sources ? If we don't
   know and don't understand then these things are passed off as  "dreams"
   with  little  or no meaning.  If they are taken that lightly  then  why
   bother  to research the theory ? If on the other hand there  really  is
   something  to  it  it could help explain other things  such  as  people
   believing in "previous lives".  What if these people are  unconsciously
   "tuned"   to the "frequency"  (if you will)  of the consciousness of  a
   person  who lived in the past ? Wouldn't they be able to see  and  tell
   the  same things as if it had been their own "past life"  ?  If this is
   the case then their misunderstanding is understandable.

   If  this  is  also the case then I should think  that  beings  such  as
   extraterrestrials would have knowledge of it and be able to make use of
   it as they desire. They could use this "telepathy"  to communicate with
   each other, with other species such as humans, animals, etc. They could
   communicate  between  their space crafts without  being  over-heard  by
   conventional  radio  as  we  know  it.  They  might  even  be  able  to
   communicate  to  their home world without the delay  of  "conventional"
   light speed communications.

   By using such an advanced form of telepathy they might be able to  make
   their  presence  felt  and  possibly even appear to  materialize  to  a
   person.   This image being sent to the mind of the individual they wish
   to show themselves to.

   They  could have a system of amplification as well.  If two or more  of
   them  thought on the same subject I should think that womuld have  more
   impact  than  one alone.  They could have a device that  could  amplify
   their  projections  as  well.   If  the  "thought"   is  availible  the
   possibilities are endless.

   I submit my theories and encounters for scientific consideration.
