ABDUCT1.UFO    June 1 1988       [width 72 characters, nominal 2 pages]
  [Editors description: This abduction in the Hudson Valley area of New 
York, is unique in that it describes the use, by the aliens, of a force 
field in the home, along with a special hand held tool that gives off a 
green light, which enables them to open up the field and pass through. 
It also contains a description of a classic case of a nose implant, and 
also the involvement of members of a family.]
                  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 entire 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 admit 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 of 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 (1987) 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 
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. 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.
    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 hands 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 consciousness. 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 started 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 the 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 happened 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 the 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.
