It seems that a book on the "UFO abductions" of the end of the 80's reported that in Nebraska, at an exact location not stated, on October 7, 1955, in the night, a young girls, or a young woman, recalled being alone in her bedroom when a being appeared, floating outside her bedroom window.
The being is described as a humanoid, less than 4 feet tall, wearing a tight white skullcap, with an egg-shaped hairless head, a waxy grayish complexion, a slit as a mouth, a tiny nose and eyes like two large dark slits.
Using telepathy, the humanoid forced her to follow him and floated into a hovering bowl-shaped craft nearby. The girl or woman also floated towards the object and entered right through a wall in the extremely cold UFO.
The humanoid, with several other smaller similar humanoids then placed the witness on a silver metallic table where clamps appeared, a blood sample was taken from her, and she felt pain. She was later returned to her bedroom.
It appears that the report of this experience was obtained by putting the witness under hypnosis.

The US ufologist indicates that on October 7, 1955, in Nebraska, Jennie was abducted from her bedroom by a small being and was placed on a table of silver metal. They took hair and blood samples, and it hurt.
John Schuessler lists the physiological effects as an abduction, and pain.
The source is indicated as "Abduction - Abductions Around the World".
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Nebraska, exact location not stated, on October 7, 1955, at night, under hypnosis the young witness recalled being alone in her bedroom when a being appeared floating outside her bedroom window. Using telepathy the being wills her to follow him. The being then floats into a hovering bowl shaped craft nearby. The being is described as less than four-foot tall, wearing a tight white skull cap, with an egg shaped hairless head, waxy grayish complexion, slit like mouth, tiny nose and eyes like two large dark slits. The witness floats towards the object and enters right through a wall. Inside the object it is extremely cold. The being along with several other smaller similar humanoids then placed the witness on a silver table where clamps appear. A blood sample is taken from her and then she is later returned to her room.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Jenny Randles, "Abduction".
Points to consider:
When a person goes to the ufologist-hypnotist, there is already an influence: the person does not go to the ufologist-hypnotist to "recover" memories of a childhood trauma or so-called "previous incarnation", but to "recover memories" of an encounter with aliens.
Hypnosis does not recover anything that can be established to be real. On the contrary, anything can surface in this state of extreme suggestibility, from real events to memories of dreams or memories of scenes of a science-fiction book or TV show or memories from the UFO literature.
This case shows most of the usual characteristics of an hypnagogic hallucination episode turned into a story of a close encounter of the third kind:
There is only one witness, nothing is said of her personality, the date is not precise, the place is not specified, the hour is not specified. Not even her age at the time of the supposed experience and her age when the report "surfaced" are indicated.
There is an obvious lack of an investigation, only a witness' report is provided. Hypnotists and investigators are not even named. As the witness is not named, it is probably not possible to remedy the lack of investigation.
The story surfaces, without any indication how it surfaced, possibly decades after it allegedly occurred.
The witness is in bed, probably sleeping, and is still in bed at the end of the alleged experience, probably still sleeping.
