:Subj: Price's 1955 Abduction :

:Price says he regrets telling story of being snagged by :
:aliens :
: :
: COHOES, N.Y. -- For 35 years Richard Price has :
:struggled with skeptics who say his story is out of this :
:world, and they are right. :
: :
: Price, 43, told the Albany Times-Union Sunday he :
:regrets ever having told anyone that he was abducted by :
:extraterrestrials as a child in 1955, but now feels the :
:need to tell his story to as many that will listen. :
: :
: Many have. Price has appeared on the television show
:"Hard Copy," been interviewed by Joan Rivers on her talk :
:show and had a Japanese television crew show up to tape his
:story. :
: :
: He is currently working on a book, and hopes to be :
:able to sell the manuscript so he can unburden himself from
:the past. :
: :
: Price says when he was eight-years-old, he and a :
:friend were playing in Oakwood Cemetery when aliens :
:appeared, ordered him aboard their craft, examined him for:
:several hours and then returned him. :
: :
: He claims they implanted a small piece of material :
:into his abdomen that remained there for years without :
:discomfort, finally working its way through his skin in :
:1989. The material is now in the hands of a physicist from
:the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is trying to
:identify it. :
: :
: Whatever happened, Price said for many years people:
:scoffed at his story and he went for long periods of time :
:without telling anyone about it, and his family suffered :
:also, until he began getting some exposure. :
: :
: "The kids used to get picked on at school, but it's:
:not as bad now," Price said. :
: :
: He said he struggles to keep jobs and is currently :
:unemployed, hoping his book will change the course of his :
:life. :
: :
: "That's when I'll probably go on Carson or :
:Letterman." he joked. :
: :
: Don Berliner of the Fund For UFO Research in Mt. :
:Rainier, Md., said Price's story may in fact be true, and :
:sympathizes with his struggles for respectability. :
: :
: "Skepticism is healthy, what bothers me is bull- :
:headed negativism, refusal to consider the possibility," :
:Berliner said. :
