    SUBJECT: Hudson Valley, NY Abductions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [Editors description: This abduction in the Hudson Valley area of New
    York, is unique in that it describes the use, by the aliens, of a force
    field in the home, along with a special hand held tool that gives off a
    green light, which enables them to open up the field and pass through.
    It also contains a description of a classic case of a nose implant, and
    also the involvement of members of a family.]
    By. Philip J. Imbrogno
    Over the past five years the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
    area have been the scene of a massive number of UFO sightings. The
    numbers of reports are so great that I believe this area has the highest
    number of raw UFO sighting reports in the entire world. These reports
    are documented in my book NIGHT SIEGE THE HUDSON VALLEY UFO SIGHTS which
    I co-authored with the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Mr. Bob Pratt.
    I have been asked over the years by many UFO researchers if there
    have been any close encounter-abduction type cases in the Hudson Valley.
    My answer to most was no. Only to few did I admit that there were
    abduction cases and plenty of them. This denial of such cases was at the request of Dr. Hynek since he wanted NIGHT SIEGE to be a documentation
    of the many UFO reports in the Hudson Valley. Hynek also wanted to keep
    these cases quiet until we had more data about the sightings in the
    area.
    With so many reports over the years and with the sighting still
    continuing it was only a matter of time before the growing number of
    Abduction cases in the Hudson Valley had to be dealt with.
    To this date I have been contacted by at least 75 people who feel as
    if they had more than a sighting. Of the 75 there are 25 that would be suitable for further study. Of these twenty five ten come from
    professional backgrounds. All do not want any type of publicity. I will
    explore two of these cases in this article. At the witnesses request, I
    have changed their names to protect them. I would also like to inform
    the reader that Whitley Strieber, author of the best selling book
    COMMUNION experiences took place in the Hudson Valley area. Since the publication of his book many people have come forward with incredible
    stories, people who would otherwise would have kept silent.
    On July 2 1987 I received a call from a 36 year old woman from Toms
    River New Jersey who I shall call Gail. Gail was very troubled on the
    phone and insisted that she talk to me about a UFO related experience
    that she had. During the last part of June (1987) as she was lying down
    on her bed, she felt some what uneasy as if someone was watching her.
    The time was Ten PM. She then heard a voice say" We have come for
    you..You will not be hurt." She then realized that her entire body was paralyzed and that she could only move her eyes. Gail was lying on her
    back. She was alone in the house at the time, but does live there with
    her seventeen year old daughter who was away visiting her father in
    Croton Falls N.Y. Gail is divorced.
    Three beings were dressed in something that looked like tightly
    fitting jumpsuits and stood in a single row, one behind the other. The
    light in the hall was dim, and she could not see their features. She
    noticed they were about five feet tall with very long arms. The
    leader, according to Gail seemed to have a problem getting into the
    room. It was as if some type of invisible shield was blocking his way.
    He lifted up his hand and pressed them against the invisible shield.
    The leader then took some type of rod out from a side pocket and
    turned the bottom of it. The rod then glowed with a green light and he
    passed it over the doorway area. They then walked into the room without
    any effort. As they entered the room still in a single file she noticed
    that they had large heads and eyes that looked like a cats which wrapped
    around their heads. She never heard them talk but heard all kinds on
    buzzing noises in her head when the leader communicated with the others.
    Gail tried to scream but could not, she could only move her eyes.
    The leader placed himself on her right side and then one of them went to
    the foot of the bed and the other on the left side of the bed. The
    beings on each side of her then placed their hands under her head and
    raised it up. She then noticed that the one on her left took a tube of
    what looked like a narrow roll of white cotton and started pushing it up
    her left nostril. At that moment she felt extreme pain in her head and
    then started to lose consciousness. She felt as if she was falling from
    a great height, then she does not remember anymore.
    The next thing she recalls is waking up at 8am with a very bad
    headache. As she walked to the bathroom her nose (both nostrils started
    to bleed. She felt as if something was stuck up her nose, but nothing
    was there. She looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed her nose was
    swollen and puffy. She noticed a rash on her neck, legs and slightly on
    her arms.
    She had hoped that the experience from that last night was a dream
    and tried to block it out of her head. When her daughter arrived home
    that night she told her about what happened. Gail told me that before
    she even finished with her story her daughter started shaking and then
    told her that on the same night, about the same time she and her father
    were followed by a UFO on route 116 near Croton Falls New York. She
    described to her mother a large dark craft triangular in shape that
    paced the car for five m minutes above tree top level.
    I found this report very interesting since Croton falls is near the
    border of Westchester and Putnam Counties in New York and that lonely
    route has been the site of more than one Close Encounter over the past
    five years. I also found it interesting that both mother and daughter
    had a experience with the paranormal at the same time.
    There is more to this case than meets the eye. The daughter and
    father according to my findings may have had as much as thirty minutes
    missing time.
    I plan to have Gail undergo hypnosis in the near future by a certified psychologist. The story does not end here. Several weeks latter I
    received a call from Gail telling me that it happened again. She said
    "Those creatures came back the same time and they did the same thing".
    She continued: "It was as if I was watching a movie of the first time
    they came, they did exactly the same thing. Including having trouble
    getting into the doorway to the bedroom. My daughter was once again away visiting her father."
    This case is still under study, but initial findings indicate that
    both Gail and her daughter may have a history of interactions with the intelligence behind the UFO phenomenon.

    (This begins ABDUCT2.UFO)
    [Editors note: This abduction describes the use of an instrument to
    find what is presumably an implant. Its use right on the subjects head, suggests they might need to be that close to detect it. The aliens say
    they come from a place that is ugly compared to Earth, and that they
    would like to live here but can't. They say they will see the abductee
    again. They also reveal that they know that our government will attempt
    to keep the UFOs secret. A UFO hot line number 1(914)739-6830 is given,
    which is still in operation as of 9/4/88, with an answering machine to
    receive reports; and also a PO Box number for Phil Imbrogno.]
    The second case I would like to cover took place on July 19th 1984
    during the peak of activity in the Hudson Valley. the sighting involved
    a Close Encounter, Missing time and abduction. If this was a real
    experience then the implications are fantastic. In all the cases that I
    chose to study all the witnesses related the truth, or what they thought
    was the truth. There is no doubt in my mind that their stories are not
    hoaxes since none would have nothing to gain by going public with their experiences.
    Bill (as we shall refer to him) is a thirty two year old computer programmer for a major scientific-engineering corporation that helped
    design the major components for the new NASA Hubble space telescope. On
    July 19th 1984, at about ten-thirty pm, Bill was leaving work and
    heading west on Highway I-84. As he approached the Taconic Parkway ramp
    in Dutchess county New York he noticed a very bright almost circular
    object off to the north. The object seemed to be just sitting there in
    the sky and the lights were very bright white. As he watched the object
    it began to move and it was at that time he noticed a dark mass behind
    it which blocked out the brighter light-polluted night sky. He continued
    to drive on 84 and soon lost sight of the object. He then brushed the
    entire incident off his mind and thought, "Oh it must have been those
    guys from Stormville flying those planes faking a UFO" He then drove on listening to his radio.
    He then turned off the route 52 exit near Stormville New York and
    began traveling north. The time now was close to eleven PM and the roads
    were quite desolate. He came to a clearing where there was a large field
    and noticed a large dark mass sitting in the field about 200 yards from
    the road. At first he thought that it was a new home, but then he knew
    there was no house there since he went this way just last night and the
    field was empty. As a matter of fact Bill drove this way home and passed
    the field every night and never saw a house there.
    Bill slowed down the car. "This thing was huge and dark", he
    said. The strange thing was it was almost the same shape as a big
    barn, but it seemed more tapered toward the sides and very smooth. As he watched, the dark object rose into the air without a sound . This really
    upset Bill since he was the only car on the road. The object then rose
    higher and higher. All that Bill could see was the dark mass slowly
    rising into the air. It was now about twice as high as the trees and it
    moved slowly towards Bill who w as still in the car. Bills radio then
    started to sound "funny" he said that the music on the radio sounded
    like a tape recorder with very low batteries.
    Bill put the car into gear and sped away from the object. His heart
    was racing as he drove up the road at about fifty miles and hour. Bill
    then lost sight of the object and continued to drive at a slower rate of
    speed. After several minutes he notice d a glow up ahead over a hill. As
    he approached the crest of the hill there the object was! It was about
    300 feet above the trees and was all lit up with rows of white and
    yellow lights. He then stopped his car and turned off the engine and the lights. He was hoping that who ever was in the thing would not see him.
    The object then turned off its lights and he could see this huge dark
    mass slowly drifting toward him. The object passed right over his car,
    he could now see its shape, it was triangular. Bill told me, "I don't
    want to make light of this, but the ship looked like one of the
    destroyers in Star Wars" The underside was the same shape, although I
    did not see the top.
    The object passed over Bill, as he looked up he saw circular areas underneath the UFO. These circular areas seemed to be like tunnels
    leading into the object. Inside these circular tunnels there was a white flashing, similar to the flashing of a white strobe light (we had
    several reports of this white flashing effect from past CE cases in the
    Hudson Valley, also the circular areas have been reported numerous times before). Bill told me there was no sound. I estimated its size to be at
    least 300 feet from end to end.
    Then something strange took place. The last thing Bill remembers is watching it go over his car, he did not see it leave. The next thing he
    knows he is at the bottom of the hill 600 feet from the position he was
    when the UFO passed over his parked car. The object itself was gone. He
    was not sure what time it was when he watched the object passed over his
    car, but he feels it was most likely about eleven-thirty PM. The time
    was now twelve -fifteen. He started his drive home upset and with a very
    stiff neck.
    When he arrived home he told his wife about his sighting. She was
    worried to begin with since he was almost and hour late. That night Bill
    woke up yelling in the night "saying get away from me!" His wife said
    that the nightmares continued for a while at least twice a week . Bill
    told to me that the he was not sure of what the nightmare was, but he
    knew something was after him. As time went on Bill was afraid to drive
    at night alone. He even had to insist to his boss not to put him on the
    evening or night shift at his job. Finally Bill wanted to find out more
    since the experience of the UFO and the fearful dreams tormented him. It
    wasn't until 1987 that Bill contacted me and told me his story. Bill Had
    seen Budd Hopkins (author of the book INTRUDERS) on a number of shows
    and asked me if would be possible for him to be hypnotized. Hearing
    Budd on TV talk about the abductions made him fearful and he wanted to
    make sure that this did not happen to him. I arranged to have Bill meet
    with a certified psychologist that I occasionally use to perform
    hypnosis. The following is a brief transcript of Bills encounter under hypnosis. He first related seeing the object on 84 and then the object
    in the field and then in the sky over the hill, it is then that his
    voice become s fearful.
    Bill" I see it now its that thing! Its coming in my direction!. I am
    going to turn off my car lights. maybe then wont see me and go away. Its huge......Oh my God what is it!. There's someone standing in the road he
    is now walking toward the car. Who are you!...... He's saying something
    to me "don't be fearful we need you...you have been selected". Selected
    for what, get away!. I feel strange like I am floating in the air, its
    all dark. I am now on this table and these guys are all around me, six
    of them. Two are at my head and two on the sides (two on each side). My
    legs and arms are like dead weights I can't move them.
    (Bill is then asked to describe them)
    "These guys are small, large heads with round eyes, the eyes are all
    black I can see no pupils in them, they remind me of sharks eyes. They
    are dressed in some type of black and white skin type suits. I can't see
    their hands. The one at my head is moving so me type of device that
    looks like a portable car vacuum cleaner up and down the left side of my
    head. It vibrates my entire head, it feels like a drill going through my head... STOP! it hurts.. He tells me that they are looking for something
    and found it.
    I now can feel my legs and arms they are allowing me to get up. They
    are very small only up to the bottom part of my chest (Bill is six foot
    one inch) The others are now over some type of panel. Two of them are
    leading me by the arms. I asked them where they were from. The one on
    my right leading said "We are from here" I didn't understand the answer.
    I asked him if they planned to let me go. he replied "Yes but we will
    see you again" He told me that they need us because they have trouble
    living in our world. He said they come from a place which is very ugly
    when compared to our world and they would rather live here, but can't. I
    told him that I would remember and tell every one about this. He said I
    would remember in time but there are forces in your own(?) which will
    stop you from telling anyone about this experience." Bill then found
    himself back in the car. Bill now recalls every aspect of the
    experience. It was a very real experience to him.
    There are about a dozen other cases similar to Bill's and Gail's. In
    the Hudson Valley area. Can all of these people who have had UFO
    abductions and sightings in this part of the country be experiencing
    some type of mass hysteria? I don't think so. The evidence indicates
    that there is some type of non-human intelligence at work. If the case histories of the total experiences are true then we all better work
    together to get to the bottom of this.
    In 1987 Peter Gersten a Peekskill New York attorney put together a
    new organization called CONTACT. Peter who is known for his work in
    obtaining UFO related documents from government agencies organized
    CONTACT in response to the great number of Close Encounter cases in the
    New York area. Peter had some of the top UFologist flown in from all
    over the country to meet at his Peekskill home. Among them were Tracy
    Torme, Budd Hopkins, Jim McCambell and this author. On September 27
    CONTACT organized a free UFO public conference in Brewster New York. The
    theme of the conference was to explore the abduction phenomena and the possibility that some people have been in contact with a non-human intelligence. Speakers at the conference included John Keel, Whitley
    Strieber and Budd Hopkins. Over 900 people attended the 12 hour
    conference and 200 filled out forms who felt they had a contact
    experience.
    Then during the first several months of 1988 Peter Gersten dissolved CONTACT and as of the date of this publication CONTACT is no longer in existence. The reasons for this are not clear but Peter still maintains
    a UFO Hotline where callers can get up to date information about UFO sightings. The caller can also leave their name and report their own
    sighting on a tape. The UFO hot line number is 914-739-6830.
    If the reader would like to reach me to report a sighting or
    encounter I can be reached at PO Box 4218 Greenwich, Ct 06830.
