In 1996, the US ufologist Preston Dennett wrote a catalogue book of "UFO healings" cases, One of the cases, he says, occurred in the mid-1930s; which makes it his earliest "UFO healing" on record.
An anonymous person who is now a famous broadcaster in his seventies, reported that he contracted tuberculosis when he was 13-year-old. There was no vaccinations, inoculations or antibiotics at the time, tuberculosis simply could not be controlled.
The witness said:
"I got sicker and sicker, and the doctors thought I would die."
On his deathbed, he said, had a "dream" in which he was taken aboard a spaceship and cured of his disease. He said:
"In the 'dream,' a spaceship took me aboard and placed me on a table within a glass bubble... the creatures did medical procedures on me and I was made to understand that now I would be well and that for the rest of my life I would be healthier and stronger than normal huŽmans. When the doctor saw me a few days after the dream, he found no trace of the tuberculosis."
Despite the miraculous cure, he was skeptical that he had really been on board an actual UFO. In those days, says Dennette, stories of spacemen were very rare, thee becale more popular only in the 1950's, and that is when the witness began to recognize what happened to him. He said:
"I began to hear other people recount incidents of being taken aboard alien craft, and their description are much the same as mine right down to the way the creatures looked."
The witness also claims that in the late 1980s, his car was hit by a train, totally destroying it. He was inside the car at the time and did not even get a scratch, and he was convinced that the aliens saved his life again. Reportedly, railroad investigators also believed that the accident should have been fatal.
Preston Dennett indicated his source as: "Overstreet, October 27, 1992".

In 1996, the US ufologist Preston Dennett wrote a catalogue book of "UFO healings" cases, One of the cases, he says, occurred in the mid-1930s; which makes it his earliest "UFO healing" on record.
An anonymous person who is now a famous broadcaster in his seventies, reported that he contracted tuberculosis when he was 13-year-old. There was no vaccinations, inoculations or antibiotics at the time, tuberculosis simply could not be controlled.

He indicates the source as: "Overstreet, October 27, 1992".
I located the case in the UD, but this is just likely, in no way certain.
I could not figure out what the source exactly is. Preston Dennet says "Overstreet, October 27, 1992". There is a Harry Allen Overstreet American writer and lecturer, popular author on psychology and sociology. But his latest book was published in 1969 and he died the next year.
The "October 27, 1992", may suggest a newspaper or magazine, but I found nothing.
Interestingly, the famous editor Ray Palmer (FATE Magazine), who later was one of the first editor to publish about flying saucer reports, claimed he healed himself using nothing but his will, in the year 1930, when he was only twenty, He had Potts disease, a rare form of tuberculosis, zhe doctors gave him ony six months left to live. He survived, as everyone knows. But of course, he could have made the story up, he was also an SF writer after all.
Palmer had an accident too. but was hit by a truck, not a train, and at age seven. He died in 1977, so he could not have been hit by a train in the lates 1980.
I am keeping on looking for information on this case, and until I fond something relevant, I can only see the case as "lacking information".
