The Encounter

Tim Cullen is a cement worker from Yuma, Colorado. In May 1978, while driving home with his wife Janet, they saw a bright light and an unidentified flying object. The craft hovered in front of them, and Tim felt a telepathic connection with the beings inside. He believes this encounter led to his abduction and that he received an alien implant in his wrist. After experiencing a buzzing sensation, he consulted a doctor, and an x-ray confirmed the presence of a strange object. Tim had the object surgically removed by Dr. Roger Leir, who found it unusual and unlike anything known in biology. Since the surgery, Tim has become a local celebrity and wants to raise awareness about alien abductions.
