ABDUCTIONS?
Firstly, we take a look at a number of CE4 or potential CE4
events.
UFORA93053 Lifelong Melbourne VIC CE4? Level B S4/P4
A woman from Melbourne descnbed a lifelong set of
unusual experiences. These included a near-death expe-
rience at age three; nightmares involving "eyes" at win-
dows; and out of bodyexperiences. She recently contacted
her auntie after many years and found she recalled an
abduction experience herself. The case has been referred
to John Aachettl in Melbourne.

UFORA93054 Feb 1993 Adelaide SA CE4? Level B S4/P4
A three and balf year old girl told her mother that the
"boys" had come to see her, arriving through the bedroom
window. This girl's sister was told she had to goto another
room during the event The girl was taken into an object
by the beings. Two types of beings were present. There
was a "daddy" or "boss" figure there. From the craft the
girl was taken to another place which she called " heaven . "
The experience was uncovered in March 93 and matched
a period of time some four weeks before when the girl was
talking about monsters in her bedroom, became afraid to
stay in the room, and had wet the bed.

UFORA93055 23 Feb 1993 Kwinana WA 0100hrs CE4? Level B S4/P4
A husband and wife, Sharon and Ian retired to bed
between 2300-2330hrs. At 0100 they awoke to find their
year old daughter Anita crying. Their four year old son
was still asleep but the girl was standing in her cot very
distressed.
When Sharon woke up she had a strong impression that
she had been in a UFO. Ian, who had been sleeping in
another room, woke up to findabright light shining inthe
room, but was unable to identify the source. He felt very
nervous to the point of panic and felt something weird was
occurring outside. The couple felt nausea and could not
sleep. When sleep did come they were awakened at
0200hrs by a sound like a train, even though the nearest
track is 20km away. The noise, accompaniedby athrob-
bing sound, seemed to come from the East. Their own dog
and others in the area were going crazy. Two helicopters
were heard outside for some 15 minutes and seem to be
conducting a search.
The couple suffered headaches later on in the day and felt
un easy and apprehensive. Sand was inexplicably found in
the son's bed. The husband's watch, checked at 0100hrs
and never known to be wrong (he is a prison warder), was
found to be one hour fast.

2000hrs CE4? Level B S4/P4
Dean was travelling on his motor bike when he saw an
unusual object, as did the occupants of two cars who had
stopped to watch it. At this point the engine of his bike cut
out. He dismounted to look for a fault. He then remembers
kick starting the bike and continuing on his way. How-
ever, when he arrived at his destination which had only
been 10 minutes from his starting point, he was amazed
to find it was 2220hrs! Later that night he found a fresh
scar on the back of his left ankle.

UFORA93056 22 Mar 1993 Armadale WA
2315hrs CE1 Level B S4/P4
Jenny was driving along when ahead she noticed a very
bright light like a white flare. It was falling towards the
ground. As she got closer to it she noted it was spherical,
with a sma11er sDhere on either side.
There were two other motorists ahead who did not appear
to see the object. As Jenny drewyet closer to the lights they
moved to the right of her vehicle over waste ground. The
car radio started to crackle and went dead, and the car's
lights dimmed. She pulled the car over to the side of the
road for a better look and then saw there were in fact three
lights in a row, two on either side of the central one,
aligned horizontally. As she drove off the car's radio
returned to normal. The object simply disappeared. Du-
ration of the event was estimated as three minutes.

UFORA93064 6 May 1993 Wandi WA 0430
0550hrs Low Level B S3/P4
While delivering papers, John noticed in the East a bright,
white light. Ten minutes later he noticed the same light
was at 70 degrees, and appeared to be pacing his vehicle.
As he travelled to Watleup the light got closer and larger
to about the size of a quarter Moon, still pacing him. At
about 0500hrs he saw that the object was now stationaly.
It seemed to fade away, then re-appear. On reaching
home he called his wife to look. She agreed there was an
odd light in the East. However, this was probably Venus.

211Shrs Low Level B S3/P4
An orange light, the size of Venus, was sighted, travelling
East to West. It was moving as fast as a helicopter
overhead, at an estimated altitude of 150m. No sound was
heard. It had the shape of a disc and an appearance of
being on fire. It did not change course or colour while
being watched.

UFORA93066 10 May 1993 Greenwood WA
1805hrs Low Level B S3/P4
Two intensely bright lights were seen by a man. They were
stationaly over the Collabah shopping centre to the West
only some 20m in altitude. A shape, not unlike two
vertical aircraft wings were seen. There seemed to be a
bluish light between the white ones, and a small, reddish
light, behind. The man, Patrick stopped his car but lost the
object when he picked up his daughter. They drove to a
better vantage point ands saw the lights zigzagging away
rapidly to the East. No sound was heard.

Low/IFO Level B S3/P4
An ambulance driver, named Reg, noted a very bright
light to the East at about 3040 degrees up. When he
reached the depot he lined it up with a tree to check its
movement. There appeared to be a slight movement to the
north. After watching it for some 15 minutes it faded to
a small dot and disappeared. Most probably Venus.

probably Venus. However, Dianne related another story.
On the 20th May 1993 at 0600hrs a teacher and a bus full
of students were returning from a camp at Witchcliff near
Augusta, when they spotted a strange object in a paddock.
It was whi77 ng back and forth and up and down like an

Chris and Karen had just parked their car in their drive
when they saw a large, oval shaped object moving slowly
towards Perth. It had a grey/green luminous glow, was
below cloud cover and estimated to be 7-10cm across at
arm's length. The couple were facing East and the object
was travelling from North to West. It suddenly acceler-

0503hrs Med Level B S3/P4
Ivan was driving along and saw a brilliant white light to
the East which turned South-West then back towards
Perth airport, before remaining stationary awhile. He
continued on in his car when he realised the object was
pacing his vehicle. He stopped the car and got out It was
at 30 degrees to the East. The light faded and Ivan was
aware of a huge black shroud in a pear drop shape on its
side with a long pillar like structure hanging below,
terminating with an inverted 'V'. He got back in his car
and moved on. On reaching home his wife also saw the
light Ivan estimated by this time it was only some 400m
away and 200m above the ground, glowing a pure white.
It simply disappeared. Apart from the latter half of the
story it could have been Venus.

sighted in the East an object travelling North to South. It
looked like a boomerang or V shaped object and seemed
to followthe line of hillsfrom Green mount to Kalamunda.
Itwas moving fairly fast and "skipping" along, sometimes
dipping below the line of hills. It seemed semi-transpar-
ent or translucent.

RESEARCH NOTES
CATTLE MUTILATIONS AND UFOS
The current, continuing interest in cate or ani-
mal mutilations started back in September 1967
in the United States. A horse named Lady(incor-
rectly called Snippy in most accounts) was found
dead with unusuai injuries. From the neck up,
the flesh had been stripped off. The neck cut
was described as extremely smooth, and Harry
King, the brother of the horse's owner stated:
What neck was cut so smooth it couldn't have been
done even with a sharp hunting knife." ("An Alien
Harvest" p2.)
There was a lack of blood and the horse's heart,
lungs and thyroids were missing. UFOs had been
sighted in the area during the weeks before the
animal's death and Nellie Lewis, the horse's owner
became convinced that UFOs were involved In the
dedth. Thus started the ongoing animal, or more
specificully, cate mutilation saga.
Over subsequent years, further-mutilated animuls
were found and again there were reported
observations of Ufos in those areas at those times.
By 1974, regular news media reports commented
on these mutilations and in addition, in exploring
potential explanations, also included reported
observations of mystery helicopters. Explanations
for the mutilations included witchcraft cults, rustlers,
marijuana smuggiers, extraterrestrials, wild animals
and natural causes.
In 1993 reports of mutilstlons continue today, with a
recent edition of the US based magazine NUFO
Encounters~ reporting on an outburst in
North-Eastern Alabama. Here 28 cows were said to
have been mutilated in early 19930
Have we any reports linking UFO entities with the
mystery? Yes, but only a few. Two I am aware of are:-
1. A Missouri couple watched, in 1983,two small
beings dressed in tight fitting silver suits. These
entities reportedly floated a paralysed black cow
Into a UFO. The entities were described as having
large, white coloured heads. Interestingly, the
couple also stated that a tall, greenskinned "lizard
man" with vertical slit eyes, was standing nearby.
2. A Waco, Texas, rancher, related that in 1980 he
had watched two 120cm tall creatures, carry a calf
between them. They reportedly had large, slanted,
black eyes. The rancher admitted to having been
scared and run away. However, upon returning to
the scene a few days later he found the mutilated
body of the calf.
Well, if entities have been reported in association
with mutilations, have any abductees reported
animal mutilations? The answer,yet again is yes.
These two were reported In "An Alien Harvest" by
US researcher Linda Moulton-Howe:
1. A May 1973 episode involved a wornan, Judy
Doraty, whose memories of the event were
recovered by Dr Leo Sprinkle utilising regression
hypnosis in 1980. During part of the regression
Doraty recalled observing a small calf being cut
up with an instrument.
2. May 1980 saw another regression by Leo
Sprinkle. Myrna Hansen and her son were
abducted in a New Mexico location. The woman was
driving a car when a bright light made her stop the
vehicle and get out. Voices spoke to her and she
was carried off together with a cow. The cow was
mutilated in front of her. Aliens plunged an
instrument into the chest of the animal and worked
on the sex organs while the cow was still alive.
NEW TREATMENT FOR ABDUCTEES
US psychiatrist Rima Laibow, one of the first
psychiatrists to take an active and continuing
Interest in abductees, approached the subject by
looking at the similarity of the after effects of an
abduction and post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). Laibow noted that PTSD was only known to
occur following physical trauma, and was not know to
derive from imaginative events. Hence, she
suggested, abductions must derive from a physical
event.
PTSD is recognised by mainstream health professionals,
and a number of treatments are available
to deal with it.
However, a revolutionary new method of treating
PTSD, and hence possibly of value to abduction
researchers has emerged in recent times.
Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., used saccadic eye
movements for treating PTSD and had what can
only be called outstanding results.
I have not heard of any abduction researcher yet
using this tool, but full details may be obtained from:
