                       Contact of the Fourth Kind

           (Abductions in the Hudson Valley area of New York)

                         By. Philip J. Imbrogno



  Over  the  past five years the New York,  New Jersey and  Connecticut
area  have  been the scene of a massive number of UFO  sightings.   The
numbers  of  reports  are  so great that I believe this  area  has  the
highest number of raw UFO sighting reports in the entir e world.  These
reports  are  documented in my book NIGHT SIEGE THE HUDSON  VALLEY  UFO
SIGHTS which I co-authored with the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob
Pratt.

  I  have  been asked over the years by many UFO researchers  if  there
have been any close encounter-abduction type cases in the Hudson Valley
My  answer  to most was No.Only to few did I  admite  that  there  were
abduction  cases and plenty of them.  This denial of such cases was  at
the  request  of  Dr.   Hynek  since he wanted  NIGHT  SIEGE  to  be  a
documentation  of the many UFO reports in the Hudson  Valley.D.   Hynek
also  wanted to keep these cases quiet until we had more data about the
sightings in the area.

  With  so  many  reports over the years and with  the  sighting  still
continuing  it was only a matter of time before the growing  number  of
Abduction cases in the Hudson Valley had to be dealt with.

  To this date I have been contacted by at least 75  people who feel as
if they had more than a sighting. Of the 75 there are 25  that would be
suitable  for  further  study.Of  these  twenty  five  ten  come   from
professional backrounds.All do not want any type o f publicity.  I will
explore two of these cases in this article. At the witnesses request, I
have  changed  their names to protect them.I would also like to  inform
the  reader  that  Whitley Strieber,  author of the best  selling  book
COMMUNION  experiences took place in the Hudson Valley area.  Since the
publication  of his book many people have come forward with  incredible
stories,people who would otherwise would have kept silent.

  On July 2 1987  I received a call from a 36  year old woman from Toms
River  New Jersey who I shall call Gail.  Gail was very troubled on the
phone  and insisted that she talk to me about a UFO related  experience
that  she had.  During the last part of June (1  987)  as she was lying
down  on her bed,  she felt some what uneasy as if someone was watching
her.The time was Ten PM.  She then heard a voice say"  We have come for
you..You will not be hurt."  She then realized that her entire body was
paralyzed  and that she could only move her eyes.Gail was lying on  her
back and noticed that three beings stood in the doorway to her bedroom.
She  was  alone in the house at the time,but does live there  with  her
seventeen year old daughter who was away visiting her father in  Croton
Falls N.Y. Gail is divorced.

  Three  beings  were  dressed in something that  looked  like  tightly
fitting  jumpsuits and stood in a single row,one behind the other.  The
leader,   according  to Gail seemed to have a problem getting into  the
room.   It was as if sometype of invisible sheild was blocking his way.
He  lifted  up  his  hand  and  pressed  them  against  the   invisible
sheild,then  he  put  his hand>4^[e light in the hall was  dim,and  she
could  not  see their features.  She noticed they were about five  feet
tall with very long arms.

 [ not my error above ]

  The  leader  then  took some type of rod out from a side  pocket  and
turned the bottom of it.  The rod then glowed with a green light and he
passed it over the doorway area. They then walked into the room without
any effort. As they entered the room still in a single file she noticed
that  they  had  large  heads and eyes that looked like  a  cats  which
wrapped  around  their heads.  She never heard them talk but heard  all
kinds  on buzzing noises in her head when the leader communicated  with
the others.

  Gail  tried to scream but could not,she could only move her  eyes.The
leader  placed  himself on her right side and then one of them went  to
the  foot  of the bed and the other on the left side of the  bed.   The
beings  on each side of her then placed their hand s under her head and
raised it up.  She then noticed that the one on her left took a tube of
what  like like a narrow roll of white cotton and started pushing it up
her  left nostril.At that moment she felt extreme pain in her head  and
then started to lose co nscious.  She felt as if she was falling from a
great height,then she does not remeber anymore.

  The  next  thing  she  recalls is waking up at 8am with  a  very  bad
headache. As she walked to the bathroom her nose (both nostrils started
to  bleed.  She felt as if something was stuck up her nose,but  nothing
was  there.  She looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed her nose was
swollen and puffy.She she noticed a rash on her neck,legs and  slightly
on her arms.

  She  had hoped that the experience from that last night was  a  dream
and tried to block it out of her head.  When her daughter arrived  home
that  night  she told her about what happened.Gail told me that  before
she even finsihed with her story her daughter s tarted shaking and then
told her that on the same night, about the same time she and her father
were  followed by a UFO on route 116  near Croton Falls New York.   She
described  to  her mother a large dark craft triangular in  shape  that
paced the car for five m inutes above tree top level.

  I  found this report very interesting since Croton falls is near  the
border  of Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York and  that  loney
route  has been the site of more than one Close Encounter over the past
five years.  I  also found it interesting that both mother and daughter
had a experience with the paranormal at the same time.

  There  is  more  to this case than meets the eye.  The  daughter  and
father accrording to my findings may have had as much as thirty minutes
missing  time.   If  this  is so and if both  were  abducted  then  the
experience happened to father,mother and daughter at t he same time!.

  Gail's  rash and headaches continued for a few days then disappeared.
I plan to have Gail undergo hypnosis in the near future by a  certified
psychologist.   The  story does not end here.  Several weeks  latter  I
received  a  call from Gail telling me that it ha  ppened  again.   She
said"Those  creatures  came  back the same time and they did  the  same
thing"She  continued"It was as if I was watching a movie of  the  first
time they came,they did exactly the same thing.Including having trouble
getting  into  the doorway to th e bedroom.My daughter was  once  again
away visiting her father."

  This  case  is still under study,  but intial findings indicate  that
both Gail and her daughter may have a history of interactions with  the
intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon.

  The second  case I would like to cover took place on July  19th  1984
during the peak of activity in the Hudson Valley. the sighting involved
a  Close  Encounter,  Missing time and abduction.  If this was  a  real
expereince then the implications are fantastic. In all the cases that I
chose to study all the witnesses related the truth,or what they thought
was  the truth.There is no doubt in my mind that their stories are  not
hoaxes since none would have nothing to gain by going public with their
experiences.

  Bill  (as we shall refer to him)  is a thirty two year  old  computer
programmer for a major scientific-engineering corportation that  helped
design the major componets for the new NASA Hubble space telescope.  On
July  19th 1984,  at about ten-thirty pm,  Bill w as leaving  work  and
heading west on Highway I-84. As he approached the Taconic Parkway ramp
in  Dutchess county New York he noticed a very bright  almost  circular
object off to the north.  The object seemed to be just sitting there in
the  sky  and  the lights w ere very bright white.  As he  watched  the
object it began to move and it was at that time he noticed a dark  mass
behind it which blocked out the brighter light polluted night sky.   He
continued  to drive on 84  and soon lost sight of the object.  He  then
brushe  d the entire incident off his mind and thought"Oh it must  have
been  those guys from Stormville flying those planes faking a UFO"   He
then drove on listening to his radio.

  He  then  turned off the route 52  exit near Stormville New York  and
began  traveling  north.  The time now was close to eleven PM  and  the
roads  were  quite desolate.  He came to a clearing where there  was  a
large  field and noticed a large dark mass sitting in the  field  about
200 yards from the road. At first he thought that it was a new home,but
then he knew there was no house there since he went this way just  last
night and the field was empty.  As a matter of fact Bill drove this way
home and passed the field everynight and never saw a house there.


  Bill  slowed  down the car"This thing was huge and dark",he  said.The
strange  thing  was it was almost the same shape as a big  barn,but  it
seemed  more tapered toward the sides and very smooth.  As he  watched,
the  dark object rose into the air without a sound . This really  upset
Bill since he was the only car on the road. The object then rose higher
and  higher.  All that Bill could see was the dark mass  slowly  rising
into the air.  It was now about twice as high as the trees and it moved
slowly towards Bill who w as still in the car. Bills radio then started
to  sound "funny"  he said that the music on the radio sounded  like  a
tape player ,playing music with very weak batteries. The voices and the
music sounded out of tune.

  Bill  then put his car into gear and sped away from the object.   His
heart  was  racing  as he drove up the road at about  fifty  miles  and
hour.Bill  then  lost sight of the object and continued to drive  at  a
slower  rate of speed.After several minutes he notice d a glow up ahead
over  a hill.  As he approached the crest of the hill there the  object
was! It was about 300 feet above the trees and was all lit up with rows
of white and yellow lights.  He then stopped his car and turned off the
engine  and the lights.  He was hoping that who ever was in  the  thing
would not see him.  The object then turned off its lights and he  could
see this huge dark mass slolwy drifting toward him.  The object  passed
right over his car,he could now see its shape,it was triangular.   Bill
told me"I don't want to make light of this,but the ship looked like one
of  the  star  destroyers  in Star Was"  The  underside  was  the  same
shape,although I did not see the top.

  The  object passed over Bill,  as he looked up he saw circular  areas
underneath  the  UFO.  These circular areas seemed to be  like  tunnels
leading  into  the object.  Inside these circular tunnels there  was  a
white flashing,similar to the flashing of a white st robe light (we had
several reports of this white flashing effect from past CE cases in the
Hudson  Valley,   also the circular areas have been  reported  numerous
times before). Bill told me there was no sound.He estimated its size to
be at least 300 feet from end to end.

  Then  something strange took place.  The last thing Bill remembers is
watching it go over his car,he did not see it leave.  The next thing he
knows he is at the bottom of the hill 600 feet from the position he was
when the UFO passed over his parked car.  T  he object itself was gone.
He was not sure what time it was when he watched the object passed over
his  car,but  he feels it was most likely about eleven-thirty PM.   The
time was now tweleve -fifteen. He started his drive home upset and with
a very stiff neck .

  When  he arrived home he told his wife about his sighting.   She  was
worried  to begin with since he was almost and hour late.   That  night
Bill  woke up yelling in the night"saying get away from me!"  His  wife
said that the nightmares continued for a while at least twice a week  .
Bill told to me that the he was not sure of what the nightmare was, but
he  knew  something was after him.  As time went on Bill was afriad  to
drive at night alone.  He even had to insist to his boss not to put him
on the evening or night shift at his job.  Finally Bill wanted to  find
out  more  since  the  experience of the UFO  and  the  fearful  dreams
tormented him. It wasen't until 1987 that Bill contacted me and told me
his story. Bill Had seen Budd Hopkins(author of the book INTRUDERS)  on
a  n  umber  of shows and asked me if would be possible for him  to  be
hypnotized.   Hearing  Budd  on TV talk about the abductions  made  him
fearful  and he wanted to make sure that this did not happen to him.  I
arranged  to  have  Bill  meet with a  certified  psychologist  that  I
occasionally   use  to  perform  hypnosis.The  following  is  a   brief
transcript  of Bills encounter under hypnosis.  He first related seeing
the  object on 84  and then the object in the field and then in the sky
over the hill, it is then that his voice become s fearful.

  Bill"  I see it now its that thing! Its coming in my direction!. I am
going  to turn off my car lights.  maybe then wont see me and go  away.
Its  huge......Oh my God what is it!.  Theres someone standing  in  the
road he is now walking toward the car.  Who are yo u!...... He's saying
something  to  me  "don't  be  fearful  we  need  you...you  have  been
selected".   Selected  for what,get away!.  I  feel strange like  I  am
floating in the air,its all dark. I am now on this table and these guys
are  all  around  me,six of them.  Two a re at my head and two  on  the
sides(two on each side). My legs and arms are like dead weights I can't
move them.

(Bill is then asked to describe them)

  "These  guys are small,  large heads with round eyes,the eyes are all
black  I can see no pupils in them,they remind me of sharks eyes.  They
are dressed in sometype of black and white skin type suits. I can't see
their  hands.  The one at my head is moving so me type of  device  that
looks  like a portable car vacuum cleaner up and down the left side  of
my head. It vibrates my entire head,it feels like a drill going through
my  head...   STOP!  it hurts..  He tells me that they are looking  for
something and found it.

  I now can feel my legs and arms they are allowing me to get up.  They
are very small only up to the bottom part of my chest (Bill is six foot
one inch)  The others are now over some type of pannel. Two of them are
leading me by the arms. I asked them where they were from"The one on my
right leading said"We are from here"  I didn't understand the answer. I
asked him if they planned to let me go. he replied "Yes but we will see
you  again"   He told me that they need us because  they  have  trouble
living in our wor ld. He said they come from a place which is very ugly
when compared to our world and they would rather live here,but can't. I
told him that I would remember and tell every one about this. He said I
would  remember in time but there are forces in your own(?)  which will
stop  you from telling anyone about this experience."  Bill then  found
himself  back  in  the  car.  Bill now  recalls  every  aspect  of  the
experience. It was a very real experience to him.

  There  are about a dozen other cases similar to Bill's and  Gail's.In
The  Hudson  Valley  area.Can  all of these people  who  have  had  UFO
abductions  and sightings in this part of the country  be  experiencing
sometype of mass hysteria?  I  don't think so.  The evid ence indicates
that there is some type of non-human intelligence at work.  If the case
histories  of  the total experiences are true then we all  better  work
together to get to the bottom of this.

  In  1987  Peter Gersten a Peekskill New York attorney put together  a
new organization called CONTACT.   Peter  who is known for  his work in
obtaining  UFO  related  documents from  goverment  agencies  organized
CONTACT  in  response to the great number of Close Enc ounter cases  in
the  New York area.  Peter had some of the top UFologist flown in  from
all  over the country to meet at his Peekskill home.  Amoung them  were
Tracy Torme, Budd Hopkins, Jim Mc Cambell and this author. On September
27   CONTACT  organized a free UF O public conference in  Brewster  New
York.   The  theme  of  the conference was  to  explore  the  adbuction
phenomena  and  the possibility that some people have been  in  contact
with  a non-human intelligence.Speakers at the conference included John
Keel. Whitley Stri eber and Budd Hopkins. Over 900  people attended the
12 hour conference and 200 filled out forms who felt they had a contact
experience.

  Then during the first several months of 1988  Peter Gersten dissolved
CONTACT and as of the date of this publication CONTACT is no longer  in
existence. The reasons for this are not clear but Peter still maintains
a  UFO Hotline where callers can get up to date information  about  UFO
sightings.   The caller can also leave their name and report their  own
sighting on a tape.The UFO hotline number is 914-739-6830.
