1/6 in UFO History: The Stanford, Kentucky Abduction Case
The National Enquirer article from October 19, 1976:
January 6, 1976 — HWY 78 Between Stanford and Hustonville, KY
11:15 p.m. Mona Stafford and two friends, Louise Smith and Elaine Thomas, are driving southwest on Highway 78 between Stanford and Hustonville, Kentucky, when they see an intense red glow in the east. It grows larger, then descends rapidly to the right of the car at tree-top level. As it hovers, they can see a disc shape with round windows with rotating, blinking red lights around each of them; yellow lights stretch below these, and a luminous blue dome is on top of the object. The UFO moves closer, flips on its side, and shines three beams of bluish-white light on the road, and another into their vehicle. Smith, apparently dazed, gets out of the car, but Stafford pulls her back in. There is a “dead silence,” their skin tingles, and they start getting severe headaches. They find the car has started back up on its own and is moving at 85 mph with no help from Smith. Stafford feels as if it is being pulled. Moments later, they find themselves 8 miles away, just outside Hustonville. When they get home to Smith’s trailer in Liberty, Kentucky, around 1:25 a.m., they find they are missing about an hour and a half of time. All three of them experience odd physical and psychological symptoms.
The women are hypnotized by ufologist R. Leo Sprinkle, who finds that they have generally compatible memories of an abduction event. Over time, their memories of the missing time period grow more elaborate, but their story contains elements and images echoed in other accounts before and since.

The Bizarre Case of the Kentucky Alien Abductions (Dec 31, 2022)
A new term coined by 'Dark Journalist' several years ago to describe black project advanced technology or his specific terminology 'X' steganography which includes UFOs and all the way back to the Egyptian Book of the Dead and Atlantean period (though off-world technology is still unknown) through the History of Political and Covert Esoteric Groups coordinating in a Stealth Program, the Secret Work of the Mystery Schools X-Technology and a different kind of physics laws referred to as Apotheum Reality Distortion which is a negative (dark side) force.
When activated, the technology creates an "Apotheum effect" which directly impacts the human psyche, creating the "fantastical" situations that Jacque Vallée found were common in "close encounters" UFO sighting reports, like missing time, missing memories and abduction scenarios. Think of Apotheum as a breakaway physics.
"Apotheum is a strange word that is not found in standard dictionaries but if you go back into those Greco Latin periods it shows up and then it reaches up in medieval times."

The Bizarre Case of the Kentucky Alien Abductions (Dec 31, 2022)
Quote:A UFO Abduction case?
On January 6, 1976, Mona Stafford celebrated her 36th birthday with friends Louise Smith and Elaine Thomas. The three women drove the thirty-five miles from their home in Liberty, Kentucky, to have dinner at the Redwoods Restaurant near Lancaster, Kentucky. At dinner, none of them drank any alcoholic, something that will later prove crucial to their story. At about 11:15, the trio headed back home but at Stanford, Kentucky, nine miles from Lancaster, a bright red object appeared in the sky, which Mona Stafford at first thought was an airplane on fire. As the object descended from the right side of the road to a point ahead of them, they could see that it was not an airplane, but a huge object bigger than "two houses." The object stopped about a hundred yards ahead of them, stretching across the road on both sides. It rocked back and forth for a couple of seconds, and then moved off to the left.
The women kept driving but after they had been about a quarter of a mile, a blue light appeared through the rear window of the car. At first they thought it was a highway patrol car with its lights flashing, but soon they realized that the flying object had circled around and had come up behind them.
Quote:The play 'High Strangeness' recalls Kentucky women's 1976 alien-abduction claim
It's the late 1970s again in the offices of Pioneer Playhouse. The main conference table is strewn with memorabilia of the era's UFO craze that culminated with Steven Spielberg's 1977 hit Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
There are books and magazines devoted to UFO and alien encounters and, of course, one of the all-time great chroniclers of close encounters, the National Enquirer.
Contained in the Oct. 19, 1976, edition of the supermarket tabloid is one of the most celebrated, and unexplained, cases of alien abduction ever: Three Kentucky women allegedly were taken aboard an alien spacecraft while driving on Ky. 78 between Stanford and Hustonville late on the night of Jan. 6 that year.
The women were put under hypnosis, and they submitted to lie-detector tests. Their stories held up.
The encounter stands as one of the few unexplained UFO incidents in the United States, and it lives on in the memories of area residents, as the cast and crew of Pioneer Playhouse's latest production have found.
High Strangeness is the latest Kentucky history play presented at the Playhouse, which has made a practice of mounting one play each season that's based on area history. The UFO play comes from the pen of Elizabeth Orndorff, who has written previous playhouse productions about a murder at Mammoth Cave (Death by Darkness, 2008) and the local legend that infamous bank robber John Dillinger spent time in Danville (The Dillinger Dilemma, 2010).
