FALL 1955, OHIO, USA, SOMEONE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Near Death Experiments" (NDE), professor Kenneth Ring apparently wrote that in Ohio, at an location not indicated, on Fall, 1955, at 08:00 p.m., someone was walking down a road when he saw a rapidly approaching red ball of light. As the light came closer, it turned to "a bright white-hot color", then seemed to cool down, then turned red again.

The witness then began floating up towards the object; which now appeared metallic. There were sudden sparks and he passed out.

The only thing he was able to remember about being onboard the craft was two pairs of hands touching him and checking his penis. Later he was released and found himself in the middle of the street looking at another object hovering above a nearby storage shed.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Ohio, exact location not given, on Fall, 1955, at 2000, the witness was walking down a road when he saw a rapidly approaching red ball of light. As the light came closer it turned to a bright white-hot color, as it got even closer it seemed to cool down and turn red again. The witness then began floating up towards the object, which now appeared metallic. There were sudden sparks and the witness passed out. The only thing he was able to remember about being onboard the craft was two pairs of hands touching him and checking his penis. Later he was released and found himself in the middle of the street looking at another object hovering above a nearby storage shed.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Kenneth Ring PhD, the Omega Project.

Points to consider:

Introduced as an expert in "Near Death Experiments" (NDE), "New Age" writer and "Gaia" proponent, professor of psychology at the University of Connecticut, Kenneth Ring seems not to have provided basic information such as the place, the date, nor when and how it was reported, not to mention an investigation report.
