Quote:A quiet winter morning. A lone skier. And an encounter on a remote mountainside that would remain hidden for more than forty years. This chilling World War 2–era UFO case from rural Sweden explores one man’s terrifying close encounter on a snowy mountain near Sundsvall. What began as an ordinary ski trip turned into a life-changing experience involving a mysterious craft, strange beings, missing time, and long-term physical effects. Decades later, a second unexplained incident would force him to finally come forward. Was this an early alien abduction? A psychological event? Or evidence of a hidden extraterrestrial presence operating long before Roswell?

Quote:“I felt hypnotized and was drawn towards the craft, unstrapped by skis and got sucked up through an elevator”, he described what happened next in his letter. Inside he was greeted by three beings, all around 120–130 centimeters in height and very human-like. They were dressed in yellow-beige, baggy clothes and with glass domes over their heads, all adorned with small horns. While he couldn’t see any faces, he took a good look around him and saw technical equipment, dashboards, he’d never seen before. It didn’t look like any human technology. “Where is this from?”, he thought, and got an answer directly through telepathy, “From the outside”. The beings continued with explaining that he was in no danger, but they would like to take some samples from him.

I live in the hills a bit and have a tall house of several levels on a gentle ridge line.  Highest points to my west.  At night from my vantage on the top balcony which I visit generally at 2 or 3 am I have irregularly spotted objects on clear starry nights moving at speeds and changing course.  Mostly in the northern aspect.

I also have a clear view to the west.  About 3am I am outside on the balcony.  To the WNW at an angle of about 30 degress above the highest hills was a very bright white star, which I thought was unusual but what got me was it was moving left to right and return like a pendulum.  

Now, methinks my head or eyes are the cause and I held onto the railing to get a better focus.  No other stars were moving.  Then it stopped moving and shon very brightly.  It increased in size then blinked out.   The whole sighting went for about 45 seconds to a minute,  One of those 'Yeah/Nah' events and probably my best sighting as to an object at night.

Told True Love about it who, agreeably, was nonplussed.  I won't forget it and will surely be out there in the wee hours tomorrow with a phone camera if the skies are clear.

There are certainly some strange objects getting about and I hope to see more.

My kind regards,
