childhood close encounter, other individuals present were paralyzed and have no recollection of event.

Object description: saucer-like. Two main sections, one lower section, and an upper section roughly half the diameter of the lower section. Color was silvery-grey. Object emitted an ear piercing buzzing noise at all times until it departed. While no lights were visible on the object, night sky was lit up as if an overcast day.

Narrative: I was six years old at the time and in the first grade. It was shortly after the new year, and my grandparents were visiting from out of town (my grandfather was a recently retired career investigator for the Federal Government who still had to make regular court appearances on behalf of the United States and as such was unable to host Christmas festivities that year, so they came for New Years).

I had been awakened by the loud buzzing noise and was in my bed, which was in a bedroom that I shared with my younger sibling. There was a window directly above his bed. As I awoke I was lying on my side, facing his window and observed the object hovering above the block that my home was on at an altitude of about 100ft (if my memory serves, which admittedly it may not). I was immediately panic stricken and ran to my parents’ bedroom, hoping to awaken my father, who as an avid hunter, had several firearms which I believed would be effective for protection against UFO-associated entities (which to my six year old mind meant “space aliens”). While I did not scream (fearful that screaming would alert the entities to my location and thus put me in danger), I did violently try to shake my parents awake. They would not awaken.

Realizing that I would be unable to rouse my parents, I came to the conclusion that the only safe space to hide was underneath their blankets. I did not cover my eyes, as I wanted early warning if entities were to enter the room so I could hide further or make some attempt at resisting. I remained there for several minutes, motionless, terrified that they would discover me if I moved or made a sound.

After several minutes had passed, I heard a loud “whooshing” noise (the closest thing that the whoosh sounded like was the sound of the SOLG firing in the 2005 video game “Ace Combat 5” from the penultimate mission). After the whooshing noise, the sky darkened and the ear piercing buzzing stopped.

I remained motionless for slightly longer, fearful that the object would return and that this was all a ploy to get me to drop my defenses. After some additional time had passed, I was convinced they were gone for good and passed out.

The next morning I told my story to my family members. At that time and to this day, they have no recollection of the events of that night, but do remember hearing me tell this story to them in my childhood. My parents dismissed it as a dream, but this series of events had no similarities with the dreams I often had at that time (for starters, my nightmares always took place outdoors or at school, never inside my home, and I would bolt awake upon seeing any monsters or robots – and never did I see anything that looked like a UFO-associated entity in my nightmares).

Only one of my peers in school had any UFO-related incidents to my knowledge, but he tragically passed away several years ago. I have had no further UFO incidents or any dreams/memories that could be interpreted as being abduction related. However, a handful of relatives (also sadly now deceased) have reported close encounters of their own when hearing my tale.

I suspect that this might have been an abduction-event, but one in which some other person was targeted and that for whatever reason, I was unable to be paralyzed.
