This is one of THE MOST researched CE-4 cases EVER (if you don't already know what that means... it's Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind). It's pretty gosh-darn amazing! It happened at the summer camp Buff Legdge near Burlington, Vermont, on August 7, 1968. That camp is closed and abandoned now, which is a shame. Astronomers Michael Paine and Janet Ashford were sitting on the dock of a lake when they witnessed an incredible light display from three UFOs. After the light display, one of the UFOs flew towards them - a huge ship, disc-shaped with a transparent dome. They spoke somehow to Michael and Janet. From Michael's account, they told him that he wouldn't be harmed. A beam of light covered them, and they floated up into the ship! Inside, Michael watched Janet undergo some kind of examination (blood and skin samples, too), before he was also made to lay on the table. He has no idea what happened to him there. Next thing he knew, he was back on the dock with Janet. A voice in his head said: "Don't worry about this experience; nothing bad happened. We are friends. We care about you. You will not understand much of this experience. Janet won't remember anything. But Janet is all right. Goodbye, Michael." Ten years later, Michael and Janet were hypnotized in separate cities. Each confirmed the same basic story.

"Friendship" with an ET has always struck me as... unlikely.
