Subject: Abduction case

Last night I recorded the testimony of a personal friend of mine. She
has had a classic abduction experience with very good recall without
the aid of hypnosis. The events took place this last Mon/Tues night at
the base of Mt. Shasta. She recalls the faces of the "visitors" as
well as a lot of details that fit with what other people have said.
She has had very little exposure to the whole UFO/abduction phenomenon
other than being familiar with the "SCHWA" logo. As she spoke she kept
remembering things and the memories caused her to shake and sob
uncontrollably at times. I am convinced of her honesty. I have
refrained from talking to her about other peoples' experiences so as
to avoid contamination of her memory. But she needs reassurance and to
know that she isn't alone and others have had these things happen to
them.

I've read enough accounts of peoples' experiences that I recognized
_many_ common features to her story. Some off the top of my head:

   1. a sense of being watched
   2. a sense of time distortion
   3. a hovering craft, close and far away
   4. the "grey" face
   5. intrusive procedures involving needles and
   6. gynocological or similar exam
   7. wanting to have a baby with "them"
   8. feeling intense love for "him" (an entity whose face she saw in
      the sky)
   9. feeling pregnant and then having the feeling disappear days later
  10. something inserted with a needle into her nose which
  11. she felt and then felt disappear after she agreed with her
      friends to have it x-rayed
  12. feeling she knew her visitors
  13. memories aboard "spaceships" from childhood

She has talked to her family about this and they very much accept it
as real, luckily. Her brother also saw to craft emerge out of the
ocean recently near Crescent City, CA. Her little sister apparently
knew who or what she was talking about and has memories of her own,
though I'm not sure of what.

I need to know a few things. First, are there specific questions I
should ask her before I begin filling her in about this phenonemon?
Second, are there groups in this area (N. California) that she could
contact for support? Anything you can think of would be very helpful.

I'm in a bit of a state of shock. I didn't expect this to happen to
someone I know, I guess. I have another friend who is a possible
experiencer as well. He woke up with needle marks in identical places
on his arms. He is _not_ an IV drug user. He also has had some strange
nighttime experiences, as well as puzzling memories from childhood. At
this point he doesn't remember anything concrete though.

Anyway, try and write back ASAP, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Yarrow Sweningsen
