Back in 1974, when my cousin Bobby and I were 17, we were bo-hunting white-tailed deer on our deerleast east of Atlanta, Georgia.

We had originally decided to sleep in Bobby's car that night, but there was an old abandoned house on the property,

so we went inside and put our sleeping bags on the floor, and we went right to sleep.

At 3 a.m. I was awakened when one of the brightest lights I've ever seen filled the room.

It was coming through the windows from outside. My first thought was that the sheriff's

deputy was shining his spotlight on us. Well, I looked over at Bobby's sleeping bag to see if he was

awake too, but he wasn't there. It wasn't anywhere inside the room we'd fallen asleep in. Had he

gone outside, I thought?

I was scared to death we were about to be carted off to jail,

so I got up and I went to the window,

and out in the yard was a small, round craft like nothing I'd ever seen before.

I stood there staring out at it and complete shock,

and as I watched the door opened and three little gray creatures came out and started walking toward the house.

A fourth one came out and stood on the ramp, and the light from the little craft turned

nighttime into daylight so I could clearly see everything that was happening.

All four of the creatures looked a lot like the aliens that other people described.

They were small, they had gray skin and large eyes and oversized edge-shaped heads.

And then one of the ones on the ground spoke to me.

I don't know if it spoke telepathically or if it

used actual words, but I do remember what it said. We are looking for male men. What are you

talking about? I answered. Again, I don't know if they were reading my thoughts or if I was

verbally speaking back to them.
