The Encounter
In late May 1971, three boys camped in a field near Fredericksburg, Virginia. One boy stayed behind with a dog while the others went to investigate a car horn. The boy felt something behind him and saw a glowing craft hovering over a pond. The craft landed, and a large being emerged, holding a glowing box. The dog barked, causing the being to return to the craft, which then took off. The boy was in shock when his friends returned. Two nights later, the boy's sisters experienced a similar event. Their car stalled as a disc-shaped object hovered above them. They saw the craft follow them home. The NIKAP investigated both incidents, noting the family's desire for privacy and the unusual characteristics of the encounters.
