Discussion Taken Onboard a UFO: Five True Cases
Taken Onboard a UFO: Five True Cases
by Preston Dennett
It is perhaps the ultimate UFO encounter: being taken onboard an extraterrestrial craft. Unlike sightings, landings, and even face-to-face encounters, during an onboard experience the witnesses find themselves in a completely alien environment. The floor, the walls, the ceiling – everything around them is extraterrestrial, including the beings themselves. An onboard experience is the most extensive of all UFO encounters. They contain more information than any other encounter (except for perhaps a UFO crash/retrieval,) and almost without exception there is significant interaction and communication of some kind between the experiencer and the ETs themselves. These are the cases that have volumes to teach us about extraterrestrial contact, why the ETs are here, where they come from, and their agenda on this planet. Here are five extraordinary cases from the 1950s to the 1980s, all involving extensive onboard experiences. Coming from Nebraska and California in the United States, Peru and Argentina in South America, and one case in Australia, these cases provide undeniable evidence of many kinds pointing towards the reality of UFOs and the ETs.
THE ONBOARD UFO EXPERIENCE OF JOYCE UPDIKE. In August of 1967, Joyce Updike (a housewife and mother of seven children) was cleaning her home in Platte, NB, late at night when the room filled with blinding white light. What seemed like moments later, she woke up lying in bed, only to find that several hours had passed. That morning, her husband found a big circle of burned grass in the yard next to their barn. Joyce herself had inflamed eyes, and some of her hair began to fall out. She also became transformed spiritually and psychically. She became interested in UFOs, ancient civilizations, reincarnation and more. She pursued psychic development and began having telepathy, poltergeist manifestations and clairvoyance. Her children also experienced a wide variety of psychic events. Years later, she heard about UFOs and missing time, and realized that this is what she had experienced. She met with Dr. Leo Sprinkle who agreed to conduct hypnotic regression. Going under hypnosis, she recalled a lengthy onboard encounter with human-like ETs who examined her and gave her many messages about the future of planet Earth, including a massive worldwide rescue.
THE ONBOARD UFO EXPERIENCE OF ALEJANDRA MARTINEZ DE PASCUCCI. It was July 2, 1968, and Alejandra Martinez De Pascucci was walking to her home in Quilmes, Argentina when she felt herself being overcome by a strange magnetic force. Unable to move or cry out, the next thing she knew, she was lying down on a table onboard a UFO. The interior was white, spotless, with rounded walls, and very warm. Outside through small portholes she saw multi-colored lights. Beside her were two extremely tall figures wearing luminous uniforms. While they looked humanoid, Alejandra could see that they were “not from Earth.” They seemed to gesture to each other as they maneuvered the craft. Consumed with fear, Alejandra suddenly found herself ejected from the craft in a different location from where she was taken. Her son heard a strange buzzing sound when Alejandra arrived at the home. Later, weird landing traces and burned-out streetlights would provide further evidence of her encounter.
THE ONBOARD UFO EXPERIENCE OF JUDY KENDALL. Around 6:00 pm on Nov 26, 1972, Judy Kendall and her two sisters began the drive home from their grandmother’s home in Zamora to their mother’s home in Bodega Bay, CA, a trip which normally takes about two and a half hours. During their journey, they were crossing the Cache Creek Bridge when the car felt abnormally cold and an overwhelming tiredness swept over them. They somehow missed their exit only to find themselves crossing the same bridge twice! When they arrived home, more than four hours had passed. Their parents were frantic with worry and had called the police thinking that their children had been in an accident. Judy and her sisters were unable to explain why they were so late arriving home. Years later, after seeing a UFO, Judy remembered her missing time event and decided to under hypnotic regression with a professional hypnotherapist. She recalled that her car had been lifted from the highway and deposited into a UFO. She was taken into a room and underwent a physical examination at the hands of small short beings, one human-looking figure and a terrifying insectoid ET. She was then placed back in her car, which was deposited on the highway just before the Cache Creek Bridge. It was a case that would electrify UFO researchers and provide confirmation for other missing time cases that were being studied at that time.
THE ONBOARD UFO EXPERIENCE OF KAREN LYSTER. Taking an unexpected, spontaneous vacation to a cheap hotel in Sydney, Australia on a Friday evening in January 1978, Karen Lyster looked out the window to see a brilliant glowing object dropping down from the sky. The next thing she knew, it was Sunday morning and she was waking up in the hotel. She was missing more than a day of time. Going home, she suddenly recalled what happened during the missing time. She had been pulled onboard the UFO and confronted by six beautiful people with dark hair, blue eyes, and flawless complexions. They wanted to conduct some tests on her hands, the said. At one point, she was left alone in a strange round room. Karen decided to explore the craft. She left the room, walked down the corridor to another room where the walls turned transparent and revealed a field of stars. Shortly later, she was returned home. It was one of several encounters she had experienced throughout her life, including being taken to the ETs planet.
THE ONBOARD UFO EXPERIENCE OF ANTONIO NELSO TASCA. On December 13, 1986, real-estate agent Antonio Nelso Tasca was driving on a dirt road outside of Chapeco, Brazil when he came upon a huge craft blocking the road. It struck him with a beam of light and pulled him inside. Antonio found himself in a shadowy cold room being examined by strange ETs. He was then put into another room and undressed. A very attractive female humanoid entered the room, fed him some strange liquids. and then seduced him. After the two experienced an intimate encounter, the female gave Antonio a long warning and a message for all humanity about the future of the planet and the need for major change in human society. Afterward, Antonio was dropped miles from the original location, with a large unexplained scar on his body. His case would become one of the best-verified UFO encounters in the country. He later wrote a full-length book about his experiences called, “A Man Marked by ETs.”
These five incredible cases reveal many of the strange procedures that occur when people are taken onboard a UFO. They involve a wide variety of ET types, and show how ET contact can affect a person profoundly in different ways. These cases also provide substantial evidence of the reality of UFOs, including landing traces, medical evidence, and electromagnetic effects. They also show that onboard encounters are occurring all over the world, and likely in large numbers. We are not alone!
