CONTACTEE SUPPLIES NEW CLUES TO UFO MYSTERY

This article recounts the story of David Seewaldt, a 13-year-old boy from Alberta, Canada, who claimed to have been abducted by a UFO on November 17, 1967. Following the incident, Seewaldt experienced significant trauma and memory loss regarding the event. Several months later, in April 1968, he began having nightmares, which led to a series of hypnotic regression sessions conducted by searcher-investigator W.K. Allen and later involving Dr. Masson, a psychologist from the University of Alberta. Under hypnosis, Seewaldt described being taken aboard a silver-grayish, house-sized craft by entities he initially referred to as 'monsters.' He provided detailed, albeit distressing, accounts of a physical examination, including being placed on a table, having his clothes removed, and being subjected to a procedure involving a needle. He described the entities as having scaly skin, four fingers, and a strange language. The article notes that the sessions were videotaped and highlights the difficulty the psychologist faced in reconciling the boy's descriptions of an 'operating room' with his past medical experiences. The narrative also draws parallels between Seewaldt's account and other well-known abduction cases, such as those of Betty and Barney Hill, Dionisio Llanca, and the Pascagoula incident involving Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, suggesting a pattern in reported extraterrestrial encounters.
