The Encounter

Thomas Reed is a member of a well-respected family in Connecticut. For decades, he has collected evidence related to a generational abduction case involving his family. The encounters began in 1966 when his family experienced strange events on their horse farm. In 2009, his brother saw an orange ball of light while driving home from a movie. He lost time and later had physical evidence, including puncture wounds. Investigators found radiation and magnetic fields at the site. The family's case was taken to the United Nations, which added credibility to their experiences. After these encounters, the family reported ongoing effects, including anxiety and a desire to share their story publicly.
