ABDUCTIONS

If extraterrestrials have come to our planet, it is not
unreasonable to suppose that they may have captured a few samples
of our species. This is only speculation, of course, but it would
clarify certain mysterious disappearances that have been reported
in the United States. They are particularly striking because they
involve whole families and have so far defied all efforts to
explain them.

At 11:40 on the night of August 14, 1952, a butcher named Tom
Brooke, his wife and their eleven year old son took leave of some
friends near a bar forty miles from Miami, Florida, got into
their car and drove away.

At 7:14 the next morning, the police found their abandoned car
eleven miles from the bar. The headlights were still on, one door
was open, and Mrs. Brook's handbag, containing a large sum of
money, was on the back seat. There were footprints leading into a
field beside the road. The family seemed to have taken about a
dozen steps, then vanished into think air, because the footprints
stopped abruptly.

Seven miles away, a waitress named Mabel Twin disappeared that
same night, in the same way.

A policeman remarked jokingly that all four people seemed to have
been kidnapped by Martians.

This was at a time when reports of flying saucers were
particularly numerous in the United States and several people
claimed to have seen their occupants.

Other notable cases:

December 7, 1959: Kenneth Martin, his wife and their three
daughters disappeared from Portland, Oregon, after having said
tthat they were going out to get a Christmas tree.

December 29, 1959: Earl Zrust, his wife and their four children
disappeared from Silver Lake, Minnesota.

January 11, 1960: D. Carrol Jackson, his wife and their children,
from Louisa County, Virginia, disappeared while driving to visit
some friends.

In each of these cases, the disappearance took place in the open
countryside, and the victims' car was found abandoned on the
road.

No explanation seems possible, unless one accepts the hypothesis
of abduction by extraterrestrials. On that assumption, flying
saucers might not be mere hallucinations.
