Space might be the final frontier on television, but in real life we haven't found any documented proof of any alien settlers out on the space range. Still, that hasn't stopped hundreds (even thousands) of people from sharing their stories of close encounters of various kinds. While alien abduction stories tend to follow a familiar template, there are the occasional tales that take it much farther than some light memory loss and possible probing. From the cosmically talented musician to the still-classified government documents about a mysterious death in the desert, these are the most bizarre alien abduction stories of all time.

00:00Of all the people to make a claim of alien abduction, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov seems like a
00:04prime candidate — at least, on paper. Ilyumzhinov is a world-class chess player, former president
00:10of the World Chess Federation, a multimillionaire, and the former president of the Russian Republic
00:15of Kalmykia. At one point in time, his name was even being floated around to head FIFA
00:19— because when you think, rich chess guy who used to run a republic, soccer immediately
00:24comes to mind.
00:25In a story eerily reminiscent of that iconic scene from Back to the Future, Ilyumzhinov
00:29claims that in 1997, aliens wearing yellow spacesuits showed up at his Moscow apartment
00:34and yanked him to a spaceship waiting in orbit. The Huffington Post reported that during his
00:39time in space, the aliens supposedly took him to other planets, and left him with the
00:43impression that chess was introduced to humans by aliens. And here we thought pro-wrestling
00:48was the Earthling activity that most likely came from outer space.
00:52Since returning to Earth, he also voiced concerns that he might have told the extraterrestrials
00:56state secrets during his abduction. In Putin's Russia, that's kind of a big deal. But the
01:01most bizarre aspect of the story is not that these claims were made on television while
01:04Ilyumzhinov was president of Kalmykia — which they were — but that these claims did not
01:09immediately end his political career.
01:12As reported by Live Science, Antonio Villas-Boas woke up on the morning of October 15, 1957,
01:18as an ordinary farmer, and would go to sleep that night with a story that would make Captain
01:22Kirk envious. While working his farm at night, Villas-Boas looked to the sky and saw a blinding
01:27light floating above him. The light began moving across the field at incredible speeds.
01:31When it stopped, Villas-Boas realized that he was looking at a UFO that was now landing
01:35on his field. Allegedly, four spacesuit-wearing aliens then emerged from the craft and overpowered
01:40him, eventually forcing him into a small room on the craft.
01:43This is the point in the story where things start to get even stranger. A humanoid female
01:48with platinum-blonde hair apparently came into the room and made bedroom eyes at the
01:52confused farmer. Assessing the situation for what it was, Villas-Boas decided to boldly
01:57go where no man had gone before.
01:59"'You! You prefer alien love!"
02:02He believes the goal of his abduction was to create a new hybrid species, but that nuanced
02:07thought was most likely the farthest thing from his mind during his supposed rendezvous.
02:11We can all understand that, right? Even human couples forget they're making a baby when
02:15smack dab in the middle of the process.
02:18One of the more inspiring alien encounters on this list happened to Gustavo González
02:22and José Ponce on the streets of Petare, Venezuela. One night in 1954, while the pair
02:27were on a late-night drive, a glowing sphere suddenly appeared and blocked the road. González
02:32claims that three short and hairy aliens came out of the sphere and walked towards them.
02:36The exact details of what allegedly happened next have been lost to history, but it is
02:40unanimously hoped that the words, "'Come at me, bro," were spoken at least once.
02:45"'What do you want to do, huh? What do you want to do?'
02:47The three knockoff Ewoks then attempted to abduct them. According to González, one of
02:51them jumped on his back while he attempted to stab it several times with his trusty knife.
02:55However, the knife was unable to cut the aliens' alleged steel-like skin. According to Little
03:00Book of the Paranormal, González was then paralyzed, quote, "'by a beam of light shot
03:05at him from a tube-like object.'"
03:07The aliens then retreated to their ship and promptly shot back up into space.
03:11So to recap, three aliens whose species had mastered the secrets of interstellar travel
03:16were allegedly forced off an entire planet by two everyday men, one of whom had a pocket
03:21knife.
03:22Welcome to Earth!
03:28The abduction experience of South African Elizabeth Klarer sounds more like a sci-fi
03:32network original than a real-life event. Klarer lived a remarkable life prior to her alleged
03:38The woman studied music, meteorology, and aviation. Plus, during World War II, she served
03:43with the Royal Air Force before doing a stint with British military intelligence.
03:47Klarer's life would change dramatically in 1956, when she was standing on the ironically
03:51named Flying Saucer Hill. According to Klarer in her autobiography, she was abducted by
03:56a member of an alien race from the Alpha Centauri system. During her abduction, Klarer met a
04:00rather dashing alien named Akon — no relation to the rapper, we assume — and the pair
04:05fell in love.
04:07After a brief courtship, Klarer later claimed she gave birth to a hybrid child who was taken
04:11back to the planet Meton to be educated in the ways of the universe.
04:15It really is beautiful when two people can look beyond their species, planet of origin,
04:19cultural differences, and the fact that one of them almost certainly doesn't exist in
04:23order to find true love.
04:25Most people — normal people, that is — cope with alien abductions in the only rational
04:30and logical way — go on a lifelong bender and convince themselves they imagined the
04:34whole ordeal.
04:35Luckily for us, Whitley Streber is not a normal person. He's an accomplished novelist whose
04:40works have been adapted into movies and television shows. After his abduction, Streber dedicated
04:44his life to profiting off of his abduction experience, while altruistically attempting
04:49to warn the planet about the danger of alien-human hybrids.
04:52So what happened? Well, on December 26, 1985, Streber was hanging out in a cabin in the
04:57woods when his abduction happened. Streber, being a writer, did what he did best. He documented
05:03his experiences in the novel Communion.
05:05The aliens in the novel are described as having huge eyes, gray skin, and triangular heads,
05:10meaning Streber's abduction created the template all further abductees would follow when making
05:14their claims. For the last several decades, Streber has become a celebrity in the abductee
05:19community, with numerous television appearances, novels, and podcasts.
05:23In 1957, 5-year-old Jesse Long experienced his first alien abduction, which allegedly
05:28occurred while he was playing in a field. Long was supposedly taken into an alien ship
05:33and escorted into a metallic room, where an object was implanted into his leg. In 1991,
05:38the object was removed from Long's leg and analyzed in an actual laboratory by real scientists.
05:44The results of the testing were interesting, to say the least. Apparently, the object removed
05:48from his leg had an unusual surface composition and other interesting characteristics that
05:52could not easily be explained away.
05:55His object was allegedly implanted during the first of the many abductions Long would
05:59experience in his life. During a later abduction, Long claims to have met his alien-human hybrid
06:04children, who were conceived from sperm harvested during a previous experience.
06:08Rather than take the time-tested approach of claiming his out-of-town girlfriend was
06:12from Canada, Long put a unique spin on that story, claiming his girlfriend was from another
06:16universe. At the very least, Long deserves some credit for his originality.
06:22When making his spectacular claim, credibility really is everything. Miguel Mendoza actually
06:26has some, albeit not enough to push his story past the realm of speculation. Mendoza is
06:31a green energy expert whose work has been used to formulate energy policy in the United
06:35Kingdom. According to the Express, when not attempting to prevent a climate-change-induced
06:39apocalypse, Mendoza is apparently attempting to save the world from a covert takeover by
06:44alien-human hybrids.
06:45Well, not an abductee himself. Mendoza claims to have interviewed several alien hybrids
06:50who live among the general population. According to Mendoza, the hybrids' human DNA has been
06:55augmented with the genes of, quote, reptilians, Sirians, tall whites, and other species, in
07:01the hopes that the human race will be improved in some way. Shockingly, Mendoza claims genetic
07:05testing of the hybrids among the general population would only show human DNA. Mendoza's research
07:11and interviews have been collected in a book which, tragically, lacks instructions for
07:15identifying potential alien hybrids. It doesn't even offer instructions for making an effective
07:19aluminum foil hat. Come on, man!
07:22Tom Cruise is exceptionally good at running toward a camera, Michael Bay is really good
07:26at blowing things up, and comedy writers are really good at explaining to landlords why
07:30rent checks are late.
07:32Dude, uh, tomorrow's already the 10th.
07:36Far out.
07:37As far as alien abductions go, former British Ministry of Defense employee Hilary Porter
07:42is the best in the business. Porter claims her first alien abduction happened when she
07:46was in a fenced-in garden at the tender age of five. Since that time, she has reportedly
07:51been abducted, quote, more times than she can count. According to the Mirror, she also
07:56claims that an alien broke into a top-secret research lab while she was working there.
08:00In other words, aliens were able to abduct Porter from a secure facility located in the
08:04same country that gave us James Bond. This does not bode well for Earth.
08:10Porter claims to have had genetic material harvested from her, as well as various medical
08:13experiments conducted on her during her many abductions. Luckily, since coming to grips
08:18with her abduction habits, Porter has become a celebrity in the British abductee community,
08:22and can often be found at the various alien abduction conventions throughout the UK. No
08:27judgment here. Everyone needs a hobby.
08:30UFO sightings go back a lot farther in history than you might think. One even goes all the
08:34way back to the years of 1896 and 1897. According to Plane and Pilot, during this time period,
08:41there were around 150 sightings of massive aircraft moving through the skies at speeds
08:45of up to 150 miles per hour. Airships at the time tended to toddle along at just about
08:505 miles per hour, and yes, it's faster to walk. It wasn't in an isolated location, either,
08:56and the sightings were spread out across 20 states. Interestingly, many people claim to
09:00have seen human-like creatures on the outside of the craft, and a few claim to have gotten
09:05up close and personal with them.
09:07Colonel H.G. Shaw claimed he had been out for a ride in the country when he came across
09:11a UFO that had landed nearby. Three alien creatures had attempted to abduct him, but
09:15Shaw reportedly made it quite clear that he wasn't going to have any of that nonsense
09:19and fought them off.
09:21Another tale was published by the San Francisco Examiner in the midst of these sightings.
09:25A California electrician named John Horan claimed that he'd actually been taken on board
09:29one of these mysterious crafts, and he hadn't been probed. Nope, he'd instead been taken
09:33on an overnight trip to Hawaii. His wife later ruined his shot at fame when she revealed
09:38that no, he'd definitely been at home at the time he claimed to have been in Hawaii. Shot
09:42down.
09:44There are a lot of reasons that aliens might come to Earth, but according to Bridget Nielsen
09:47and the members of her Hybrid Children community, one of the biggest reasons is that they want
09:51our DNA. They use it to create alien-human hybrid children, and the HBC explains it like
09:57this,
09:58"...everyone involved in the hybridization program made a sole agreement before coming
10:02into this lifetime to take part in the agenda to awaken humankind and reunite us with our
10:06galactic family."
10:08They add that five new races have been created, and the first-generation hybrids are on alien
10:13crafts with one of the races called the Shalinea. Most of the communication between the human
10:17parent and their children is done, quote, "...in dream time, when children are taught
10:22everything they need to know about humans."
10:24Sometimes people are abducted to go visit their children in person, and yes, sometimes
10:28are abducted for some good old-fashioned DNA harvesting.
10:32There are a surprising number of people who have joined the community to get closer to
10:36their alien children, and Nielsen knows how important that connection can be. She is the
10:40mother of six hybrids, Crystal, Lily, Luna, Neo, Tio, Alice, and Twister. She says that
10:46she's met some of the men who have contributed their DNA to her Hybrid Children's existence,
10:50and that some remember their abductions, while others do not. Yikes.
10:55George Hunt Williamson was one of the early UFO researchers, and in the 1950s, he wrote
11:00a book called Other Tongues, Other Flesh. It's a weird, rambling tome, and in it, he
11:05recounts a story first told in the Los Angeles Mirror.
11:08In November 1953, two local electricians named Carl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson rented a
11:13small plane and headed off into the wild Blue Yonder. They never came home, and the plane
11:18was never found. After they were reported missing, Wilkinson's wife said that they had
11:23firmly believed the world was ending, and that the end was coming at the hands of, quote,
11:28strange little men from either Mars or a planet called Massar. She said that Hunrath had stockpiled
11:33recordings of his conversations with the aliens, who had given him what was going to be the,
11:38quote, new interplanetary language.
11:41While the Mirror reported that local authorities were pretty skeptical that it had been a saucer
11:45kidnapping, Williamson suggests in his book that it might have been a voluntary abduction.
11:50Williamson said that before the two men disappeared, Hunrath had called a few buddies to say goodbye.
11:54He'd added,
11:55"[Others have left the Earth to go to other planets, so do not be surprised if I leave
12:00soon."
12:01Williamson also clarified that the wife of Hunrath's missing partner had misunderstood
12:04and that the aliens were actually from the moon. You know, just minor details.
12:10So let's talk about the confessions of Simon Parks, a Labor Party counselor for the English
12:14town of Whitby. Incidentally, the town is famous for a connection to Bram Stoker, Dracula,
12:19and having their own personal hellhound. Why not add alien encounters to the list as well?
12:25According to The Guardian, his shocking confession came in 2012. He admitted that his, quote,
12:30real, more important mother was a 9-foot-tall, green-skinned alien woman. He explained that
12:35he had known this for a long time, and things escalated when he was 11. That's when his
12:39alien mother picked him up for a trip on her spacecraft. And this is by no means the end
12:44of the story.
12:45The Scotsman reported that Parks went on to say that he now had regular liaisons with
12:50an alien woman he called the Cat Queen. Those liaisons had resulted in a daughter named
12:55Zarka, and he added,
12:56"...my wife found out about it and was very unhappy, clearly. That caused a few problems,
13:00but it's not on a human level, so I don't see us wrong."
13:04Easy to say, as long as you're not the wife, of course.
13:07In the 1940s, Richard Shaver wrote a series of stories, many of which were published in
13:12the sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories. It's told of an underground world where a race
13:16of creatures had set up shop to control the humans on the surface. It's all pretty epic
13:21sci-fi, but here's the thing. As far as Shaver was concerned, it was 100% true.
13:27According to the Los Angeles Review of Books, Shaver fully believed that the diabolical
13:30Dero and the kind Tero were the descendants of a race that had once lived on the surface,
13:35until some fled underground and others fled to faraway planets. His work was edited, heavily
13:40rewritten, and published by the controversial Ray Palmer, though he claimed he had kept
13:44Shaver's message.
13:46According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, Shaver knew that Tero and Dero existed because
13:51he'd been abducted by the latter after he had developed telepathic abilities in 1932.
13:56And here's where the controversy comes in. Shaver claimed that he had been held captive
14:00in a subterranean world by the Dero, and he'd witnessed firsthand how terrible they were.
14:05It later came out that by the time he'd claimed to have been held captive, he'd actually been
14:08committed to a psychiatric hospital. Shaver was never officially diagnosed, but is widely
14:13believed to have been a paranoid schizophrenic. After interest in his stories waned, he went
14:18on to document rock books, which were essentially alien messages he claimed to have been buried
14:23inside rocks.
14:25When Riley Martin died in 2016, Howard Stern said a special goodbye and called him, quote,
14:30one of the greats. Martin had been a staple on Stern's show for nearly a decade, and he
14:34spent a lot of that time talking about his encounters with a race of aliens called the
14:37Beovians.
14:38The Beovians.
14:39This is the aliens that came to Beovians?
14:42They are Beovians. They rarely abduct people at random. They have a purpose.
14:48Martin claimed that he had been abducted many times throughout his life, starting with a
14:51first interstellar trip in 1953. It was during his second abduction when the Beovians, quote,
14:57downloaded the history of humanity, alien insights, and a mass of knowledge into his
15:02They were a super-friendly group who also shared with him hundreds of thousands of different
15:06symbols. Here's the really clever part, though. Claiming that he was able to faithfully recreate
15:11the symbols, he was more than happy to share the positive vibes the symbols brought, via
15:15his website, for $40 plus free shipping.
15:18Not only were the symbols bringers of positivity and light, but they could keep illness and
15:22bad luck at bay. And, most importantly, they would serve as a ticket.
15:26When the time came for humankind to exit stage left, the Beovians were going to be there
15:30waiting with a one-way trip to a, quote, distant, beautiful, unpolluted planet. One
15:35of Martin's symbols was required to be considered for the trip, but don't worry, it didn't mean
15:39you had to go. If you wanted it just for the good vibes, that was fine, too.
15:44Emilsen is a small town in the south of Poland, and anyone who finds a reason to visit will
15:48find that it's the home of a strange monument. It commemorates May 10, 1978, the day a 71-year-old
15:55local named Jan Wolski found himself issued an invitation he simply couldn't refuse. Culture
16:00recounts his story,
16:01On a perfectly ordinary day, Wolski was taking a perfectly ordinary ride in his perfectly
16:06ordinary wagon when suddenly he saw two figures standing in the road ahead of him. They were
16:11vaguely humanoid, but had thinned hands and green skin. Still, when they hopped into his
16:16wagon and invited him into their nearby UFO, he saw no reason as to why he shouldn't go,
16:21so he did.
16:22Once he was on board, he said that the very polite aliens requested that he strip naked.
16:27He agreed, and they passed what looked like some metal plates over his body. Then they
16:31indicated he could get dressed again and offered him a bite to eat. He declined and headed
16:35back to his wagon, but not before everyone waved and nodded their goodbyes.
16:40Wolski became famous in Poland, and in all the interviews he gave, his story remained
16:44consistent. A monument was erected in 2005, 14 years after Wolski's passing.
16:49In 2020, the Clarion-Ledger reported that an audio recording of the terrified testimony
16:54of two men who had claimed to have been abducted by aliens 47 years prior had just come to
16:58light. Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson said that they had no idea they were being recorded
17:03as they gave their statement, and hearing it again brought back some serious trauma.
17:08In 1973, the two had been fishing on the Pascagoula River when an 80-foot craft appeared in the
17:14sky. Three floating aliens appeared, all of them lacking legs and featuring hands shaped
17:18like mittens with claws.
17:19By the time we stood up and turned around, they was there on us, all at one time.
17:26When the alleged aliens grabbed the men, they said they felt instantly calm, as if they'd
17:30been drugged. After the aliens dragged them into the craft and performed examinations
17:35with the aid of a device they described as a big eye, Parker and Hickson were dropped
17:39off where they'd been picked up. Meanwhile, around 50 people had been calling the local
17:43police, reporting that there was something strange in the skies. Detectives didn't believe
17:47them, but the new recording revealed the conversation they'd had when law enforcement
17:51left. They were terrified, with Hickson saying at one point,
17:54"...I thought I'd been through enough hell on this earth, and now I've got to go through
17:58something like this?"
17:59Glenn Rider was police captain at the time and later said,
18:02"...I don't know what happened to them, but I know you don't fake fear."
18:05And they were fearful.
18:07According to Discovery, when Geraldina Roscoe struggled through several miscarriages, she
18:11claimed that there was much more to it. Every time, she said the baby was missing. As it
18:16turns out, she allegedly came to find that her babies were being taken from her by alien
18:20entities. She recounted how she was abducted eight times, and during one of those times,
18:25she was taken to meet children that she believed were the babies that had been harvested from
18:28her. She described them,
18:30"...They're not all the way human. This gray, thin skin to a much bigger head and these
18:34giant eyes that are so deep and so profound and so complex. What I recognized as I was
18:39meeting that child was that it was my child."
18:42Roscoe believes that her experiences go back to a deal that former President Dwight D.
18:46Eisenhower made with aliens. In a nutshell, the aliens were going to be allowed a certain
18:50number of abductions, and breeding hybrids was 100% part of it. Her Instagram says that
18:55she identifies as a hybrid mother and continues to explore interdimensional contact.
19:01Stan Romanek claimed he had his first close encounter in 2000, when a video he made of
19:05a reported UFO made the local news. Years later, he told ABC,
19:10What are they? I couldn't tell you. Are they from a different planet? I can't tell you.
19:13I know they're not human, whatever they are."
19:15In the years that followed, Romanek says he went on to be watched all the time. Like,
19:20literally. He said,
19:21"...They're harassing me, and I can't tell you why. I have no answer to that."
19:25One of his abductions happened when aliens knocked on his door at 2.30 in the morning.
19:29Another tapped him on the shoulder, and he says he was transported somewhere else to
19:32be subjected to a massive data dump of horrible images streamed right into his mind. Romanek
19:38claims to have all kinds of proof, such as X-rays of a mysterious implant that disappeared
19:42when he wanted to have it examined, or puncture wounds that he said are indications of where
19:46the aliens conducted their tests. He also claims that when he goes missing for a few
19:50days and checks his camera, he often finds pictures of aliens.
19:54The Huffington Post says this isn't the only reason Romanek has been in the news. In 2013,
19:59his home was raided on suspicion of child pornography. When he was ultimately arrested,
20:04he claimed it was all a conspiracy.
20:07Back in 2003, author Michael Meyer had the opportunity to sit down with a Chinese man
20:11who claims to have slept with an alien. His name was Ming Zhaoguo, and he was a lumberjack
20:16from the Red Flag Logging Commune. His encounter happened in 1994, when he saw a flash and
20:21a flicker of light that he first thought to be a crashed helicopter. He approached the
20:25site, but was hit by some unseen force and knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he
20:30was home.
20:31Just a couple nights later, he was awakened with a shock. He was hovering above his bed,
20:35and in the middle of copulating with a massive, six-fingered alien woman. He described her
20:39as having, quote, "'thighs coated in braided hair.'" And when he sketched a picture of
20:44his extraterrestrial lover, she bore a striking resemblance to the Michelin Man.
20:48That wasn't entirely the end of it. Ming said that about a month had passed when he awoke
20:53to find himself rising into the air again. This time, he was levitated into a spaceship,
20:57where he met other aliens who told him that they were refugees from their dying planet
21:01on their way to their new home. And while it wasn't possible for him to see his alien
21:05lover, they did reassure him.
21:07In 60 years, on a distant planet, the son of a Chinese peasant will be born.
21:12If there's any phenomenon that everyone might at least grudgingly agree might be of extraterrestrial
21:16origin, it's music. In the case of a man born as Herman Blount, he believed that's exactly
21:22what happened. He was born in 1914, and according to another man, it wasn't until 1953 that
21:28he told the world that while he was in college, he had been whisked away to Saturn by extraterrestrials.
21:33It was there that he says he learned his ultimate purpose in life, which was to become a spirit
21:37guide for mankind. The planet, they told him, was heading in a downward spiral pretty quickly,
21:42and he was going to help stop it.
21:44Blount changed his name first to Le Sonja, then Sonra, saying that he was shedding his
21:49slave name to become the entity he was destined to be. According to an interview he gave in
21:542014, he wasn't a man, but was instead an angel, and he had come to Earth from his home
21:59world of Saturn.
22:00Music historians have written tons of books cataloging his more than 200 albums of widely
22:05varied music, and Paul Youngquist had an interesting take on the whole angel and aliens from Saturn
22:10thing. They suggested he was putting a new spin on, quote, the whole harrowing history
22:14of African slavery. Slave ships of the Middle Passage were the first alien motherships.
22:19Either way, it goes without saying that Sonra's compositions are cosmic in quality and scope.
22:25So here's a weird one that history says has been linked to a mysterious, ultra-classified
22:29U.S. Air Force investigation called Project Grudge Report 13. Two people reportedly associated
22:35with the project both recounted the 1956 story of Major William Cunningham and Air Force
22:39Sergeant Jonathan P. Lovett. It started when they were working outside of Holloman Air
22:44Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and Cunningham heard Lovett scream. When he went
22:49running in the direction of the shout, he found a silver disc covering over the desert.
22:53A snake-like appendage had reached out and grabbed Lovett and was dragging him into the
22:57craft.
22:58By the time security got there, Cunningham was alone. Search parties didn't find Lovett
23:02for three days, and when they did finally find him, about 10 miles away from where he'd
23:06last been seen, it was an awful sight. He'd been in the desert for somewhere between one
23:10and two days, and his corpse, which was missing important pieces like his eyes and tongue,
23:15had not only been mutilated, but was completely bloodless. The entire thing bore a striking
23:20similarity to the reports of mutilated, bloodless cattle that are occasionally found and chalked
23:24up to weird extraterrestrials.
23:27That's the only record of the incident ever happening, but it's worth mentioning that
23:30while Grudge Reports 1 through 12 and 14 are declassified in public, 13 isn't. Hmm.
23:37It was Christmas 2001. According to the Limerick Post, Jerry Battles had been out for a few
23:42holiday drinks and had been walking back to his home in County Limerick, Ireland, when
23:46something quite peculiar happened. He described the event as such,
23:50"...it was a clear, dry night. It was really crisp and frosty, just beautiful. But I wasn't
23:54drawn by the light of the stars or the moon, but by a bright, surgical white light coming
23:58from the other end of the boreen."
24:00Battles says that he suddenly found himself on a spaceship, where he joined about 40 other
24:04people who looked to be in some kind of suspended animation. Then he was plucked from the group
24:08and found himself face-to-face with an alien that had a, quote, "...big conehead and beautiful
24:13ginormous eyes." When the alien asked him what he wanted to see, he answered that he'd
24:17always wanted to see the North Pole, please and thank you. Seconds later, there they were.
24:22Finally, the alien gave Battles a message. It was a warning that all life was going to
24:26be wiped out when an asteroid collided with the planet sometime around the year 2850.
24:31Battles said that they added, quote, "...that every one of our governments have been lying
24:35to us from day one and not to trust them," and then gave this advice,
24:38"...you must use the force, be one with the force, harness the force."
