Here Are Some of My Top Picks of UFO Cases from the 1980s

1. 1973-Pascagoula, Mississippi Abduction

The strange case of nineteen-year-old Calvin Parker, and forty-two-year-old Charles Hickson actually began a day before their famous encounter. On October 10, 1973, fifteen different people, including two policemen, reported seeing a large, silver UFO slowly fly over a housing project in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana. Only a scant 24 hours later, Hickson and Parker would have the scare of their lives; a frightening encounter with an eerie UFO, and occupants.

2. 1975-The Travis Walton Abduction

While working on a government land clearing project with six other crew members, Travis Walton approaches a glowing UFO. He is hit with a blue green beam. The crew members run from the scene, thinking Travis is dead. Five days later he reappears, not having eaten during his absence. He relates that he was taken aboard a UFO, and experimented on by alien beings.

3. 1976-The Stanford, Kentucky Abductions

Three well respected women are driving home after dinner when they see an unknown object in the sky. The next thing they remember is losing control of their car, and being backed into a field. Investigation and regressive hypnosis tell a tale of alien abduction, complete with embarrassing medical procedures. One of the best documented cases of alien abduction.

4. 1977-The Colares Island UFOs

A most unusual, yet highly documented case of UFOs over the Island of Colares. For many nights residents of the island community flee from sensational light beams that injure many and kill 2. The residents state that they were knocked unconscious and awoke anemic. The military took many hours of film of the unknown flying objects.
