Excerpt from Angels and Aliens: UFOs and the Mythic Imagination by Keith
|
|
Thompson, (c) 1991 Addison-Wesley.

|
================
|
|
|
|
Recently the French sociologist Bertrand Meheust made an
|
|
important discovery that further clouds the question of what counts as a
|
|
'UFO precedent.' Meheust came across an abduction report involving a
|
|
Belgian citizen named Mr. Belans. The event took place in a remote area
|
|
near Brabant where farmers had reported suspiciously crushed vegetation
|
|
in their wheat fields. While walking in this area, Belans noticed a man
|
|
dressed in black under a tree, apparently waiting for something. His
|
|
curiosity aroused, Belans waited and watched. Soon an unusual feeling
|
|
of fatigue came over him, as if some force had taken control of his
|
|
actions. This was followed by a strange buzzing sound, then by a very
|
|
bright light, as an elongated craft landed nearby. When a door opened
|
|
over a barely lit rectangle, the man in black stepped into the object.
|
|
Belens felt compelled to follow.
|
|
|
|
The interior of the craft was evenly illuminated but without an
|
|
apparent source of light. Momentarily, the craft took off with a faint
|
|
vibration, after which a tall man entered through a wall of the room.
|
|
This man seemed to know Belans's every thought. Speaking in French, the
|
|
tall man revealed that he hailed from a faraway star.
|
|
|
|
"Why don't you establish open contact?" asked Belans."
|
|
|
|
"Because we do not wish to force the rapid evolution of elements
|
|
that are foreign to our own civilization," the ufonaut answered.
|
|
|
|
When Belans was later returned to Earth, he discovered a
|
|
significant period of amnesia, missing time, a theme known to those
|
|
familiar with abduction narratives.
|
|
|
|
This abduction is dated _1934_, twenty-seven years prior to the
|
|
Hill abduction. More precisely, the case appeared in a science fiction
|
|
story entitled "Hodomur, Man of Infinity," published that year by Ege
|
|
Tilms. [pg. 67]
