- TITLE : Australian Abduction Cases
-
- AUTHOR : Keith Basterfield
-
- ========================================================
-
- 1. 1955 ADELAIDE, South Australia.
-
- A 10 year old girl, Janet X., was being treated for a slight nervous
-
- disorder. Whilst under hypnosis for this condition she recounted a
-
- story of her interaction with aliens and a flying saucer. Whilst in
-
- trance she spoke of being in a saucer with three "men", and of
-
- visiting a planet with an advanced society.
-
- 2. 11 August 1966 VICTORIA.
-
- A Miss Marlene Travers, of Melbourne, is reported to have observed a
-
- large silver disc land near her. It is claimed that she was abducted
-
- and raped by an alien wearing a loose fitting metallic green tunic.
-
- Investigations reveal that this account is most likely a journalistic
-
- hoax.
-
- 3. 1971 GLADSTONE, Queensland.
-
- A Finnish couple, Ben and Helen K. left Gladstone at about 11.35 p.m.
-
- and upon arrival in Rockhampton found that only 40 minutes had passed
-
- on a trip which would normally take much longer. In addition to the
-
- rapid trip they could not recall passing through intervening places
-
- although they recall seeing an unusual green light at one stage.
-
- Their 1971 Valiant sedan was reportedly covered with a thin film of
-
- odourless oil, and unusual marks were noted on the car's bonnet.
-
- Attempts at hypnotising the couple were unsuccessful.
-
- 4. July 1972 and subsequent times. FRANKSTON, Victoria
-
- In early 1972 a Mrs Maureen Puddy reported observing a disc shaped
-
- object in the sky. Later in July she related that her car stopped
-
- itself as the same object hovered overhead. Several months later she
-
- recounted being "mentally" abducted into a room, and of observing an
-
- entity there. This latter event occurred whilst two other people were
-
- physically present with Mrs Puddy but they only reported that Mrs
-
- Puddy lapsed into unconsciousness. On a later occasion she said the
-
- entity again appeared to her when she was driving the car.
-
-
-
- 5. 1973 SPRINGWOOD, New South Wales.
-
- One night 2 men were asleep in a caravan on a remote building site,
-
- when one was awoken by a blue light projecting from a hovering aerial
-
- disc. A time lapse occurred of some 2 hours. He felt that some
-
- "beings-Caucasian types" were somehow involved.
-
- 6. 1974 CANBERRA, Australian Capital Territory.
-
- Two young women felt compelled to get into their car which then
-
- allegedly drove itself to a certain spot. They were escorted by a
-
- brilliant white light source. Vague human shapes were seen as well as
-
- strange noises heard. There was an episode of "missing time"
-
- involved.
-
- 7. 1975/76 SYDNEY, New South Wales.
-
- A women recalls that as a young girl, aged 4-5 years, she saw a small
-
- being with large eyes in her bedroom during the day time. She had
-
- little conscious recall of details of the event other than that she
-
- felt she went "somewhere else".
-
- 8. September 1978 JINDABYNE, New South Wales.
-
- Two young men, out hunting, reported seeing a bright white spherical
-
- light on the ground some little distance away. Next night it was seen
-
- again. In 1983 one of the men began to recall memories of a 2 hour
-
- time lapse on one of those nights. One memory was of the 2 men being
-
- floated into a room where they were placed on a table and examined by
-
- tall, white coloured beings.
-
- 9. 1978-1982 NEW SOUTH WALES.
-
- A Sydney woman woke up feeling agitated and heard a voice. Figures
-
- appeared and said to come with them. She went through a doorway into
-
- a room where she watched a scene on a screen. This screen showed
-
- pictures of her future life, which later came true. The case is
-
- currently under active investigation.
-
- 10. 1976 ELLIOTT, Northern Territory.
-
- An old man is said to have been abducted after a bright object landed
-
- near him. Beings alighted and took him aboard. He said they asked
-
- him questions about life on Earth and our activities, before they
-
- returned him unharmed to the pick up point.
-
- 11. 1976 Country New South Wales.
-
- A 31 year old woman was overcome by a feeling of sickness, whilst
-
- vacuuming her house. 3 strange figures were seen in front of her.
-
- There was apparently telepathic communication and advice that she had
-
- to go with them. The next thing she remembers is it was 5 hours later
-
- and her fiancee had arrived home.
-
-
-
- 12. February 1976 HOBART, Tasmania.
-
- A man and his wife had gone to bed, and she fell asleep leaving him
-
- awake. Suddenly through the closed door came 3 figures. One tried to
-
- put a bag over the man's legs in an apparent abduction attempt. He
-
- attempted to awake his wife, whereupon the figures departed through
-
- the window.
-
- 13. Mar 1977 GISBORNE, New Zealand.
-
- Three women were involved in an apparent abduction case in the midst
-
- of a large UFO flap. Regression hypnosis on one women revealed a

- stationary he noted a really bright light hovering some distance away.
-
- Although he tried to get close to it he could not.
-
- 15. Feb 1978 BALADONIA, Western Australia.
-
- A memory lapse of 3-3 1/2 hours is said to have been associated with
-
- the observation of two unusual lights. During this time a 30 year old

-
- something...also I remember speaking with two voices..."
-
- Investigators have been unable to learn more about this account.

-
- 20 year old Frederick Valentich disappeared over Bass Strait whilst

-
- occupants of an object which he reported observing just before radio
-
- contact was lost with him.
-
- 17. 1979 NILDOTTIE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
-
- Don and Jack recounted an abduction experience, which is alleged to

-
- driven by a young man. The car engine stopped, the radio went dead
-
- and the lights went out. Later that evening the man was picked by
-
- police in Hobart for driving the car without lights. They found him
-
- to be in a dazed condition and he did not know where he was. He was
-
- taken to hospital apparently suffering from shock. The man wished no
-
- further investigation of the matter.
-

-
- they have vague memories of a "being" and recalled "...walking into a
