I am not asking for an investigation of any kind, nor would I want one, but need to tell someone about what happened. I was about 13 years old living in upstate NY around 1977-78. I lived in a two story home, but we only rented the downstairs and another family rented the upstairs. I was awoke one night about 11pm. I had always been afraid of the dark even at that age. I never knew why, but if what happened that night had happened before, it would be explainable. I remember I got out of bed, I don’t remember how I got to the other side of the house as I don’t remember walking through the house. I went out the back door of our downstairs kitchen and there was an enclosed staircase that led from the ground floor up to the kitchen of the second floor.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Normally I would not have entered it at night, especially that staircase, it always scared me. I entered and climbed to the second story landing, but before I could enter the kitchen of the upstairs, my attention was drawn to the window of the second story landing. The window was open as it was mid summer and I looked out and up and there was a large disk that at that age appeared very close, but was probably several hundred yards above the house. A blue light appeared from the very center of the disk and I was suddenly floating out the window and up towards the craft. I don’t remember feeling scared or anything, other than from the height, but not from the fact I was being pulled into a strange craft in the middle of the night.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I don’t remember anything else until I was floating through the second story widow on the front side of the house. I came through the window and floated down the stairway that led to the front porch of the house. It wasn’t until just now writing this that I remember there were 2-3 small beings at the bottom of the stairs. I don’t remember anything else until awaking again in the morning. I don’t recall any more “leaving” incidents for the rest of the time I lived there, but the “return” sequence, through the second story window and down the stairs, always floating, was a regular thing for about 2 years. I tried to tell a teacher about it at school, but he just played it off and told me it was just a bad dream.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I guess after awhile, I convinced myself that he must be right, there wasn’t much talk in our small town about abductions so I didn’t know who else to contact. I didn’t get along well with my mom or sisters and was embarrassed to bring it up to my brother. It wasn’t until years later when I first started using air travel that I found there was something in my lower right leg that would set off the metal detectors. That continued until about 2 years ago and suddenly stopped. I don’t know if it is still there and just doesn’t trigger it anymore, if they lowered the sensitivity, or if it somehow just disappeared. All I know is that the last time I went to the local courthouse, I no longer set off the detector there.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I don’t know of any other people sighting anything in my hometown until years later, my brother-in-law said he had seen one once while driving, but I don’t recall what year he said, possibly about 81-83. I have searched for any sightings around my time period but no luck. Nothing until the mass sighting in the 80’s. Like I said, not looking for any type of investigation, but if you know of any sightings around Dover Plains, NY around my time frame, I would really like to know about it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Thanks for listening<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following experience was submitted directly to The Black Vault.
