Date of Sighting:<\/b> March, 1964
\nTime of Sighting:<\/b> 10 PM to 8 AM
\nDate Reported:<\/b> May 15, 2005
\nLocation:<\/b> Westchester, Illinois (Suburb of Chicago)
\nLatitude:<\/b> 41.85295 Degrees North
\nLongitude:<\/b> 87.88422 Degrees West
\nNumber of Witnesses:<\/b> One
\nNumber Witnesses Interviewed:<\/b> One

Description:<\/b> Dan Ragan recalls going to bed when he was five years old and instantly seeing the sun come up.\u00a0 He said that his mother tucked him into bed at 10 PM and in an instant the sun came up and it was daylight.\u00a0 He said that he never even closed his eyes.\u00a0 He went into the bedroom to see his mother at the time (8 AM the next morning) and she was sound asleep.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

He was not ill and was not taking any medication.\u00a0 He recalls nothing of the missing time and his mother or father did not experience anything unusual.\u00a0 Both parents and himself were in the house at the time of the incident.\u00a0 He has discussed this experience with his wife over the years and upon seeing the Peter Jennings ABC Special “Seeing is Believing” made him decide to report the experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investigator’s Notes:<\/b>\u00a0 I have spoken at length with Dan and his wife about his experience.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Dan says that he never forgot this experience and that he discussed it over the years with his parents and his wife.\u00a0 He has had no problems as the result of this experience, but still to this day does not know what happened.\u00a0 My assessment of the interview is that Dan is credible and firmly believes that this happened to him. Could Dan have been abducted?\u00a0 What caused the missing time?\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Why did the sun rise immediately after his mother turned the lights off in his room?\u00a0 (Ten hours went by in a split second.)\u00a0 I have checked the National UFO Reporting Center<\/a> for sightings in March of 1964.\u00a0 Only two sightings were reported and neither were near where Dan had his experience.\u00a0 I have also checked the Air Force Project Bluebook files for sightings in this area in March of 1964.\u00a0 No sightings were reported anywhere in Illinois in March of 1964.<\/span><\/p>\n
