On a property outside of Portland, two children (ages 11 and 9) saw a large ball of silver-blue light hovering about a meter above the paddock about 30 meters from the house. The grass under the object "moved and swirled". The children saw details of the object, including something like a "door" and possible appendages. 

Their mother confirmed the presence of the object, but she seemed "mesmerized" and continued to talk on the phone with a friend, and the children were still outside. After 30 minutes, the phone went dead. 

She loaded the shotgun and went outside, going around the house to make sure there were no intruders, practically ignoring the UFO that was still present. She felt inexplicably tired and simply walked past the children back into the house, lay down, and seemed to " pass out." 

She apparently woke up around midnight, showered, and went "as if she were in a trance" without checking on the children. In the morning, she woke up in horror to find both children sleeping peacefully in their beds. She went outside and checked the area where the object was hovering, "a strange 12-foot (3.6 m) long, curly grass." 

It was discolored to a strange purple color with brown areas that seemed to have been burned or exposed to intense heat." Over the next few months, there was unusual activity of "unmarked helicopters"in the area. 

The children began to recall further details. One of them had 3 strange red spots on his foot. The girl had an unusual "scar" on the back of her neck, which was impossible to explain. She also saw a strange "person"outside the window. 

Under the hypnotic regression, there was an obvious description of the abduction, especially with the participation of children.

On a property outside of Portland, two children (11 & 9) saw a large ball of silver blue light hovering about a meter above a paddock about 30 meters away from the house. The grass beneath the object was “moving and swirling.” The children saw details on the object including something like a “door” and possible appendages. Their mother verified the presence of the object, but she seemed “mesmerized” and kept talking on the phone with a friend, with the children still outside. After 30 minutes the phone cut out. She loaded a gun and went outside, walked around the house to ensure there were no intruders, virtually ignoring the UFO, which was still present. She felt inexplicably tired and just walked passed the children back into the house and lay down and seemingly “blacked out.” She apparently woke up around midnight, showered and went to be, “as if she were in a trance,” without checking on the kids. She woke up in the morning feeling terrified, and found both of the children sleeping peacefully in their beds. She went outside and verified at the spot where the object had been hovering “a strange 12 ft diameter of swirled grass. It was discolored, a strange purple color with brown areas which appeared to be burned or affected by intense heat.” During the next few months there was unusual activity of “unmarked helicopters” in the area. The children began to recollect further details. One of them had 3 strange red spots on a foot. The girl had an unusual “scar” on the back of the neck that could not be accounted for. She also saw a strange “person” outside her window. Under hypnotic regression an apparent abduction milieu was developed, particularly involving the children. No details on that.
