Alien Abductions and High-Strangeness
BY Nick Redfern
Daryl Collins, like me, lives in the Lone Star State.
He has had more than a few strange and bizarre experiences of the UFO-themed type, and which
date back to the 1940s.
I have interviewed Daryl a few times and I�m sharing with you some of the highlights of
those experiences.
There is a specific reason why.
Namely, because Daryl�s encounters demonstrate the sheer level of weirdness that surrounds
the UFO phenomenon.
He told me:
�Approximately April or May 1945, an extremely bizarre encounter.
I was playing in the backyard when I spotted a creature about my size, an elf perhaps,
which communicated telepathically.
It merged its body with mine, and controlled my movements.
We went out the back gate and down several streets to an area that at that time was still
wild country.
We found a hole in the ground and jumped in, falling a fair distance, stopped, and entered
a strange room and walked down a corridor.
The corridor led to a door which swung open, and the elf separated from me.
There followed some kind of physical examination, then I was back in my yard quickly forgetting
the whole incident.
Long ago I described the details to Budd Hopkins, and he said he had many similar cases.�
Daryl had much more to say: �In 1948 my parents and I were driving at night on a deserted
rural highway.
An object came over and lifted the car into a big round room.
A door opened and three creatures, with clawed webbed toes and stubs for fingers, took each
of us in different direction.
I followed one down a long dark corridor to a brightly lit room with an examining table
and a gray with long bony fingers.
He stuck a sharp instrument into my stomach, then a different instrument far up my right
nostril.
When he pulled it out, my nose bled a little and was sore for hours.
Then he took an instrument like a black cone and pressed the point to my forehead, producing
a strange vibrating sensation.
Apparently he was activating an implant that had just been put in place.
He said, telepathically, �It will be all right from now on.� Abruptly we were all
back in the car and the whole episode was forgotten.�
That was not the end of the encounters, however, as Daryl made very clear: �I don�t remember
the date, but once I was confronted with a large insectoid which said, �I want you
to devote your whole life to me!� I didn�t understand and asked what that meant.
I don�t remember what the creature said, but I replied emphatically, �No, I won�t!�
This evidently didn�t go over very well.
�In January 1950, I was taken at night from my home by skeletal creatures who said they
were going to kill me.
I begged for my life, reminding them of the time they had said: �It will be all right
from now on.� So instead they put me on the table and performed extensive procedures.
Finally they abandoned me, and all the memories were lost for very many years.
As far as I can tell, I was never abducted again.
When I first encountered �flying saucers� in the newspapers that March, I immediately
adopted the subject as the center of my life, but it never occurred to me to wonder why,
nor to suspect it had anything to do with me.�
Things then went quiet, at least until 1986.
That was the year in which Daryl had a very weird and creepy encounter with nothing less
than a Woman in Black.
Daryl related the strange facts: �In early June of 1986 (don�t recall the exact date),
I was just coming from a discussion of my abduction memories and approaching the parking
lot to drive home.
A white-haired lady in dark or black clothes drove by in a dark or black car.
As she approached me she slowed down, leaned out her window, and yelled at me, �You have
nine years until what you were made for!
You have nine more years!� Then she sped up and drove away.
I didn�t catch the license number, make of car, or any other details.
But I distinctly remember what she yelled, since I spent the next nine years haunted
by what might be awaiting me in early June of 1995.
When the date finally arrived, there were smells suggesting the things might have been
in the house, but otherwise nothing happened.
The literature is full of cases where predictions failed to come true; maybe they just change
their minds.�
As I read Daryl�s words, I couldn�t fail to remember how � at the height of the Men
in Black encounters in the early 1950s � Albert Bender found his Bridgeport, Connecticut home
filled with overpowering odors of brimstone and sulfur.
What goes around clearly comes around, it seems.
An elf-like thing controlling Daryl�s every movement, what appear to have been alien abduction-type
incidents long before the Betty and Barney Hill incident of 1961, and a strange and sinister
Woman in Black: add all of those issues together and we see just how bizarre the UFO phenomenon
can really be.
