Summary

Colonel Henry G. Shaw, a Civil War veteran and journalist, had a strange encounter on November 27, 1896, in Lodi, California. He was with his companion, Camille Spooner, when their horse stopped in fear. They saw three tall, slender beings, about 7 feet high, who looked human but were different. The beings examined Shaw and Spooner, making guttural sounds. They carried glowing objects and attempted to lift Shaw but could not. The beings then moved toward a large airship hovering above the water. Shaw described the ship as cigar-shaped and noted its lack of visible machinery. After the encounter, Shaw theorized that the beings might be from Mars and suggested they could have been trying to abduct him. This experience changed Shaw's perspective on extraterrestrial life.
