I had a very strange visitor. It could have been a little past eleven o'clock at night. I just turned off the light, and perhaps I dozed off slightly only to be woken up. I had the sensation that something was happening around me. I opened my eyes. Above me, about one inch from the ceiling there was a red, oval globe. At times, as it moved around, it also resembled a cylinder. These two descriptions may appear contradictory to the reader, but that is how I saw it, and I would like to describe it as precisely as possible. This 8-10 cm long object was as bright as stoplight, perhaps of a much darker, deeper hue. Around it, the air seemed to decompose into several parallel planes of light. Bright rays alternated with grayish, dull stripes of opalescent light. I couldn't believe my eyes. I closed them and reopened them. They were still there! Interestingly, it did not create any kind of emotion in me. I was not afraid, I did not scream, and I did not even run out despite the fact that the vision was out of ordinary. I kept looking at it.... Then, the air stripes started to move in opposite directions, still keeping horizontal to each other. At the same time, the red object forming a "V" shape started to approach me with the pointed end oriented towards me, and then it retreated. When it again resumed its position near my head, the parallel rays opened up, and took up the configuration illustrated in the attached drawing.
 

The grayish air stripes changed into a wonderful coral color. Did I fall asleep...or was I put to sleep? While asleep, unconsciously I was very afraid. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. I went into the kitchen to drink some water, where I checked the time. The following day, I continued to have a sensation of fear. Somewhere inside, I was afraid. Moreover, the next day all day, I felt a sharp pain between my left ear and neck (above my left ear and between my neck). I have never before experienced this kind of shooting pain, which disappeared without a trace by the third day.
 

I usually do not have headaches. In addition, I feel obligated to include here that neither do I drink alcoholic beverages, nor do I take drugs, nor co hallucinate. I lead a very sober same life, I am a respected person here in United States where I have been working at the same job for thirteen years.

I don't know if there is any connection between the two things, perhaps there is no connection at all, but for about a month after the above vision, I had a strange feeling in my left sole. There was a feeling in my sole toward my big toe as if a hot ray, that could have been energy, flashed through and from time to time left my body. I can not explain this otherwise because I never had such a feeling before.
Afterwards, I remember reading something similar in a UFO magazine, but in that case the energy, or that something warm, exited through the person's fingers.

July 18, 1995

Was it a dream? I photographed its trace. (It must have been a strange dream if it left a dark black and blue bruise on my inner thigh which healed very slowly for about two months).

I want to scream. I want to free myself! I don't want them to take me away. Three black hooded creatures want to take me away. (See drawing bellow)
 

But I can't scream. I can't even move. They are taking me away...

The hoods are not transparent as in a previous dream I had. Their faces, what is visible from under the hood, are very white. Somehow, it seems to me that their faces are not real, they are not the ordinary faces we know, but it is also possible that I don't remember them exactly anymore.

Here parts of the story are missing, because the next thing that I remember is that I am lying on a table. I am covered in white and there is something white also under my head. (As a side, I should mention here that my bedding is sanding colored with a green pattern.) A black hooded creature stands on my left side. He communicates to me telepathically that there is no reason for me to be afraid. He radiates love. I feel that he loves me. Of course, here I am not referring to romantic love.

He told me something about Sirius as well. Perhaps this is his name?

I wake up. I lie in bed in a very strange position, at an angle, almost across the bed while my legs are hanging down on the side of the bed. My nightgown, I notice with a sense of alarm, is neatly pulled down all the way to my heels. Under ordinary circumstances my nightgown is always messily rolled up. I compose myself with difficulty.

Only the next day did I observe the 10x1.5 cm dark black and blue bruise on the inside of my left thigh. Only a few days later I remembered to take a picture of it. Unfortunately by the time I took the picture, the bruise already had turned green. Nevertheless, I saved that picture even to this day.

The black and blue bruise was still visible after two months and its trace was still there at the beginning of 1996. The strange thing about it was the location of the black and blue bruise; i.e., on the internal aspect of my thigh. Even more interesting is that usually I don't bruise easily, even if I hit something hard with my leg or hand.

In the morning I woke up feeling nauseated and sick. I felt a strange pain in my abdomen, that was not similar to cramps. I had a sensation as if I just had an operation, as if I just came out of general anesthesia. I speak from experience, I went through operation, so I know what it feels like..

I had the chills, and I was shivering all day, despite the fact that I didn't have a fever. I had strange feeling in my legs, but I didn't have a cold not that day and not later. 1 did not have any infection either. On the fifth day I had a strange, very strong, but not cramp-like pain in my stomach which shot through my whole abdomen. I had to spend the day in bed, though it is not my style to do that. Then, I totally recovered without any medical intervention.

December 20, 1995

After I woke up I was about to make my bed, when I found on the sheet under my pillow two pea size drops of blood. The night before, half asleep, I remembered wanting to pull something sticky off my nose. I even woke up and checked in the mirror, but I couldn't find anything despite the fact that I
definitely felt that I tore something off.

And then the blood drops under my pillow? Could it have been by chance? If this indeed were a coincidence, I admit it must have been a strange game of accidents. Let me explain: I just changed my sheets the day before, and my nose was not bleeding either that night or in the morning. Nor did I have any trace of any kind of scratch-marks.

What might be interesting to add here is that once, several years before I even kept a diary, I dreamt (?) about the tall gray creatures. In this dream, these creatures were trying to fly me away by my legs. I desperately wanted to escape. There were three of them. That was the entire dream, if it indeed was only a dream. Back then neither did I have any knowledge that such creatures even existed, nor did I read any UFO magazines?

I had seen similar hooded creatures in Romania as well, even before the above described "dream." This encounter again was registered in my consciousness as a dream. " It" stood on top of the nightstand next to my bed. It must have been about 150cm tall. Wearing a transparent, slightly open hood, the creature stood there quite distinguished. What is most interesting is that only much later did I read about similarly clad "night visitors."

I just cannot believe that these events are mere coincidences. Especially, since we are talking here about the appearance of similar creatures in quite different corners of the world. Moreover, if I had seen them on TV, in the movies, or if I had read about them, and subsequently 1 dreamt or "hallucinated" about them, that might explain some of it...

But until that time I did not even hear about them, and honestly, back then these things did not even interest me. Furthermore, they could not have been hallucinations, because on numerous occasions they left physical marks that were photographed. Back then I thought that the paranormal events that happened to me were the doings of ghosts.

In conclusion, I did not attribute any of my paranormal experiences to UFOs, or to visitors from other dimensions or planets until 1995.

On March 4, 1995, during a discussion with a professor from Essex who was interested in my stories, we concluded that the "mini" UFO I saw on March 3^rd was perhaps from another dimension.. This fact was subsequently furthered justified and proved.

As evidence, I have two photos. While I had several occasions to take more photographs, somehow I failed to capture more of them. This is not necessarily due to a lack of preparation on my part, because I routinely took the camera with me to bed. During these visits I always became so paralyzed, so much under their "spell," that only after I turned the lights on did I remember regretfully that again I missed the opportunity to photograph them.

March 4, 1996, Monday

Today, Tuesday, as I am writing this entry I remembered that it was exactly one year ago, on Monday night when I had my first, so called "red globe" experience. (At that time I didn't know about the definition of the mini UFOs so, I defined my night visitors using my own descriptions. That night I was thinking about many things, but the UFOs. Life around me is whizzing too fast, problems abound and therefore several worried thoughts occupied my mind. In a sad mood, I turned off the lights and by 10 o'clock I fell fast asleep.

It couldn't have been too late when I awoke, because some light was coming from my son's bedroom into mine. I woke up to a sensation that my heart is racing.. Actually, what woke me up was a fearful sensation. As I opened my eyes, I saw a little globe, the size of a Ping-Pong ball, radiating bright red. The first thought that came to my mind was that my eyes must have been dazzling? I kept testing myself to see whether I was dreaming, but I was sure that my eyes were not fooling me. The light, the little red globe was still there. I wasn't afraid anymore and I just kept staring at the little red globe. Without any emotions, I kept watching it.

Then, suddenly, the events accelerated. Enveloping the red globe, tons of dark, densely packed ray-like "things" appeared as illustrated in the drawing below.
 

As these light rays began a snake-like oscillation, many other similar rays streamed in from the window in the direction of the globe bombarding it.

As I glanced at he window, everything vanished within a second. The last thing to disappear was an eye-like object that I did not notice before because of my complete preoccupation with the globe. The "eye" was approximately 50 cm long, and its color variegated in dark and light shades of grey.
 

The following day the shooting pain in my skull, that I had already experienced last year, was again present. As I mentioned already, otherwise I never have headaches.

March 29, 1996, Evening.

It must have been around 11 o'clock, because 1 just turned the lights off. I was extremely sleepy. I remember dozing off listening to opera. I fell asleep. When I awoke, the music was still playing, and I was face to face with my new "guest." More precisely, I was eying an unusual, ball-shaped object, the size of my fist, situated near my bedroom's high window sill. As usual under this circumstance, my first reaction was that this couldn't be true. Perhaps something is wrong with my eyes, or my eyes are tricking me. After staring at each other for an extended period of time, however, I realized that this is a brand new "visitor".

What can I compare it to? It looked somewhat like a porcupine; at least that was my impression based on the way its densely packed quills stuck out. It was splendid in its red and blue colors. Please see drawing below
 

Figure : Red and Blue Globe and Residual Pattern on the Wall
 
 

Although its colors were dull, I saw it quite distinctly owing to good visibility in my bedroom due to light coming in from the neighboring house, and through the open doors.

This time I was not as paralyzed and numb as during previous 'Visitations." As I was just about to yell out so someone could come it and see it, the globe rapidly changed its mind, and quickly fled before I could even open my mouth After its disappearance, I could still make out a peculiar pattern all around the white wall, as shown on the attached illustration.

April 16, 1996---around 11 o'clock.

What is quite interesting is the punctuality and regularity of my visitors' schedule. Their arrival time usually coincides with 11 p.m.

I turned off the light around 10 o'clock and shortly after 1 fell asleep. I awoke abruptly. There it was. Within arm's reach, right above my head there was a fist size, brilliant orange globe. For variety's sake, this time some kind of spikes was sticking out of the globe. Just as bright orange as the globe. Slowly the glove began approximating the wall behind me. As it started pulsating, it dispersed into the air various sized, glowing orange spikes, until the air above me filled with them. Then, everything disappeared. First the globe, then its entire entourage. As beautiful and brilliant as it was, it resulted again in my heart racing frantically. It scared me, yet I could not explain why. The illustration below is my own attempt at capturing it.
 

April 25,1996

It's true that I did not even turn the light on last night, but I did not think necessary to check the time because these visits always occur around the same time. My God, how tired I am! While I saw "it", I was not scared; however, it is already morning and the fear stayed with me. Perhaps the reason why I continue to have this curious sensation of fear is that I still cannot find an explanation for these objects, and I still do not understand the meaning behind these visits.

I know that I was not dreaming, because I routinely test myself whether I am awake or not, or whether I indeed saw what I thought I saw. Moreover, I always check for the presence and location of familiar objects, I usually check the time, and waking up to my racing heart is always a giveaway.

While there are times when I wake up in the middle of the night without my heart racing, I still look around to check for anything unusual, but 1 find nothing.

Last night it took me longer to fall asleep. I had a rough day and I was very tired. I must have been asleep only for a few minutes, only to awake again as if on schedule to my heart racing. I opened my eyes, and there "it" was. This time it was bigger than usual; it measured approximately 20 cm in length and 8-10 cm in width. It had a cylinder like shape, and from my vantagepoint, the end facing me was slightly curved. It might have looked like a giant kidney bean, as it fluoresced in a subdued red color. There was no brilliance this time.

My eyes were not tricking me, because we stared at each other for a long time. After satisfying it that I took a good look at it, it gracefully glided away like a balloon. Before it completely disappeared, it inched itself closer to me, and then it vanished through the ceiling.

May 3,1996

It was noon, and I was still lying in bed reading as I was recuperating from a recent surgery of my varicositis. Suddenly, not in a frightening manner, but audibly and firmly "something" or "someone" tapped on my book. The previous night, I had the feeling that I was not alone and I also noticed in the dusk a short figure clad in white. Might have I been dreaming?

May 10, 1996

I didn't even fall asleep when suddenly I woke up again. I felt that something is happening and I was right because I spotted my visitor right away. It always stands in a well-defined spot in my room, waiting for me to discover it. I was telling to myself again: "This can't be true". But my eyes were not dazzling, because the figure was there till I could take a good look at it. When it became sure that I had taken a good look, it dissipated into the air.

It could have been the one from last year, the number one, because it was cylinder like and it was shining in dark red. This time it did not manipulate the planes of air, but it was resting with one of its edge against the window.

While the "visitor" was motionless, my heart started to beat just like when there is an earthquake. Personally, I didn't feel any fear.

I was surprised, that while I was taking the painkillers after my operations, on which there even was a warning that it may cause hallucinations, I did not have any visitors. This time I can't even blame the painkillers for the visits.

It was about 10-12 cm long and 3-4 cm wide, and more of cylinder likes shape, like the number one from last year, before it turned into a globe. It was almost like a flower which still blooms, only a little bit longer.

May 11, 1996

10:26PM is the precise time, because I just turned the lights on in order to see the exact time. While I was curious, the sight was quite disturbing, and yet I honestly could not say why. My heart was again beating fast as if I was really scared, and yet I was not truly scared. Such a curious, such a simple yet complex was the reaction that the'Visitor" conjured up in me.

It was like an exquisite Christmas Tree decoration, measuring about 6-8 cm in its diameter. Its interior was radiating in a dark red color, while the parts sticking out; its thorns were brilliant in orange hues, as illustrated below.
 

I was asleep when my fast heartbeat woke me up. I was very tired and sleepy when I turned off the lights. Then the rest seems like a recurring motif. I awoke, or I was woken up abruptly. I saw " it" immediately, as it stood in front of my window. The visibility was very good owing to bright lights streaming in from the adjacent bedroom. My reactions were the usual. First, 1 did not want to believe what I was seeing, so I scrutinized it very- carefully. Then as I was about to yell out so someone else could also look at it, it disappeared. What is this, what are these? Hi what kind of relations are they with me? Questions after questions. For a long time I couldn't fall back asleep. I was very agitated. That's all.

The pattern is the following: it wakes me up, waits till 1 wake up and take a good look at it, then, disappears by flying away like one who has done a good job.
What does it want with me?

May 22,1996

I went to bed early, because lately I have been having very difficult days. I fell asleep around ten o'clock, and then my son Peter woke me up before the " vision," by talking too loud on the phone with somebody from New York. I tried to go back to sleep, I closed my eyes and I was waiting to fall asleep, but it was hard, because of the loud telephone conversation.

I opened my eyes, and I noticed an extremely curious and spectacular object that seemed to be coming towards me at a steady speed and in such a straight line as if it were pulled on a string from the center of the room. It was illuminated. This coral colored object had a round top; its bottom portion had the shape of a medusa. Its diameter must have been about 10-13 cm. As it approached from above with a steady speed, it passed by me so close that I could have reached it if I extended my arm. I saw clearly that as it was approaching the wall behind me, it passed through it like " knife through butter".
 

Then came the usual fast heartbeat. I fell back asleep with great difficulty afterwards. In the morning I woke up with a headache in the back of my head. Perhaps it was not a headache but a neck ache caused by me stretching my neck muscles too much during the "visit" last night.
