The Encounter

Bill Herman had his first UFO sighting in November 1977 while living near an Air Force base in Charleston. Over several weeks, he saw multiple sightings. In March 1978, he observed a UFO moving in a triangle pattern. Suddenly, he found himself 15 miles away on a train track, with two hours missing from his memory. He underwent hypnotic regression and recalled being taken aboard the UFO twice. The first time felt like an abduction, while the second was more voluntary. He described the beings as small, with no eyes and features resembling a human fetus. They communicated that they were from Zeta Reticuli and were conducting experiments on Earth. After the encounters, he felt no lasting fear but continued to have sightings in his area.
