SUBJECT: 1991 SW Arkansas Abduction 


Hello. 

I was reading some of the abductions and wanted to share my story. 

In late spring 1991, a friend of mine and I were going camping for the weekend and left Friday after school let out, about 3:30 PM, Daylight Savings Time (this is important.... it gets dark around 8:30 PM). Anyway, we left school, went by my house and got a tent, and then to his house for food and his clothes. This put us leaving to go to the campsite (about a 30 minute trip) at about 6:00 PM. We got out of town, turned onto the road that led to the camp, and shortly the sky started getting that colored hue that it takes on at the horizon when the sun is getting low. I noticed one cloud in particular that I thought was really unusual. It seemed smaller and denser than the others, and it had a quality that I couldn't put my finger on that made it seem kind of creepy to me.

Then I noticed it.

I asked my friend if he could tell me what was wrong with the red cloud there, and he looked at it, commenting that it seemed kind of odd to him too. Then he got really quiet and said simply, "The telephone poles?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "Holy S***", etc... They were BEHIND the cloud!!!! 

ANYWAY... he floored it, but I was mesmerized.  It was keeping pace with the car, and I rolled down my window, sat up on the edge of the door, and leaned on the roof, staring at it. My friend started yelling to get back in the car, but I didn't hear him at first. Finally I noticed that it was making a slow circle around the car, toward me. I jumped back in, rolled the window up, and then things got freaky. It completed it's trip to my side of the car, stopping for a moment at my window, before continuing around to the rear of the car, where it came a little lower to the trunk, and glowed bright, then disappeared.

Immediately after it disappeared, a set of lights appeared over the road about 400-500 yards behind us, spaced wider than headlights by about half the normal distance and higher off the ground that headlights would have been (probably 10 feet or more), and accelerated to the rear of the car in about 3-5 seconds. This repeated 3 times in all, and then the power in the car went down, also 3 times (everything electrical, the radio, lights, etc.). Things get fuzzy there for both of us, and the next thing we know, it's pitch black out, our watches say about 7:00, the car dash clock is blinking to be set (it WAS set!), and the radio says it's 10:45. we continue driving past the campground and to the next highway that leads back to town (about 15 extra minutes of driving, and the go back home (no camping for us!).

I'm not going to embellish and say I was led onboard a little saucer by a bunch of grays or any of that junk, but what I said above I would swear to. Also, the next day I had a very weird scar on my left arm.  On the inside of my forearm, halfway down, there is what looks like a check mark or hockey stick shaped scar, perfect lines, very fine, very shallow, and in a place where I had NEVER injured myself.

The best I can do to simulate it is this:
