What Happened
In April 1983, an anonymous man who asked to conceal his identity sent a report to NUFORC describing strange experiences. He said he was born during a medical emergency: he died after an encephalitis vaccination, came back to life after one minute, and went on to experience what he called unexplained “abilities,” including telekinesis, telepathy, and precognition.
He said his father, a U.S. Army soldier, suddenly received a large sum of money that, according to the man, came from the government. The man was later sent to a secret facility, where he and his family lived in a room with a huge mirrored window, about 15 feet across. He felt that someone—or something—was watching him. Mirrors were in every room, including the bathroom, and he believed they were being used to monitor him and learn his habits. He said their stay at the facility lasted about two months. During that time, he felt he was communicating with a nonhuman entity that appeared in his dreams.
The report also includes personal background. After leaving the Army, he worked for the California Department of Justice until 2004. Since then, he has felt that he is being watched. He says other women writers have resisted his attempts to write a book about his experiences, claiming that their involvement could put their lives at risk.
Why It’s Interesting
The story follows a familiar “military investigation project” scenario: a man believes he was studied at a secret facility using advanced technology, including large mirrors, surveillance, and psychic experiments. The account lacks specifics, such as the facility’s location and technical documentation, but highlights the fear and suspicion he believes the authorities direct at anyone trying to expose information. It also combines spiritual elements, including belief in God and a sense of a transgalactic entity, with descriptions of modern military equipment, adding to the story’s complexity.
A Note on the Record
This is an unverified eyewitness account. There is no documentation of the facility, the mirrors, or the “abilities” described. It should therefore be treated with caution, though it remains part of the broader range of UFO reports recorded in recent years.
