SEPTEMBER 27, 1972, BASEL, BASEL-STATT OR BASEL-LAND, SWITZERLAND, A PERSON:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

It seems that according to Ulrich Magin, in Basel, Switzerland, on September 27, 1972, at an unknown time, someone had apparently received a telepathic message instructing him to go to a certain spot to meet a "UFO."

He arrived at the spot and saw a landed disc shaped craft. An opening became visible and a large man like creature wearing a metallic suit stepped out. He carried in his hand a shiny wand like instrument, which he pointed at the witness.

At this point, he became confused and heard a loud voice. He then found himself inside the object and could see the being sitting at what appeared to be a command console, with a visual screen and display. He also saw a peculiar six-sided box like apparatus. Communication apparently took place and the witness was finally set free near a swamp.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Basel, Switzerland, on September 27, 1972, at an unknown time, the witness had apparently received a telepathic message instructing him to go to a certain spot to meet a "UFO."

At this point the witness became confused and heard a loud voice. He then found himself inside the object and could see the being sitting at what appeared to be a command console, with a visual screen and display. He also saw a peculiar six-sided box like apparatus. Communication apparently took place and the witness was finally set free near a swamp.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Ulrich Magin.

Points to consider:

I could find no other information on the case.

The alleged witness name is not given; possibly this was one quite famous self-claimed "contactee" of Switzerland.
