JUNE 1978, PIROGOV, RUSSIA, MAJOR M. V.:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

"UFOZONE" reportedly said that in the "Pirogov region", Russia, on June 1978, around noon, walking along a local reservoir, off duty Major M. V. was standing on a field when he suddenly felt paralyzed and felt grabbed from behind.

Looking down, he saw a pair of legs wearing what appeared to be tight fitting cellophane pants and one-piece shiny stockings.

He then heard a telepathic message and felt as if he was rising into the air. He was told that it was necessary that they would communicate with him, that it was only going to take a short time and all the memory would then be erased from his mind.

Soon he found himself back on the field, without any further recollection of what had occurred.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in the Pirogov region, Russia, on June 1978, around noon, walking along a local reservoir off duty Major M V was standing on a field when he suddenly felt paralyzed and felt grabbed from behind. Looking down he saw a pair of legs wearing what appeared to be tight fitting cellophane pants and one-piece shiny stockings. He then heard a telepathic message and felt as if he was rising into the air. He was told that it was necessary that they would communicate with him, that it was only going to take a short time and all the memory would then be erased from his mind. Soon he found himself back on the field, without any further recollection of what had occurred.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "UFOZONE Russia."

[Ref. ud1:] "UFODNA" WEB SITE:

The website indicates that in June 1978 at 12:00 in Pirogov, Russia, "Walking along a local reservoir off duty Major M V was standing on a field when he suddenly felt paralyzed and felt grabbed from behind. Looking down he saw a pair of legs wearing what appeared to be tight fitting cellophane pants and one-piece shiny stockings. He then heard a telepathic message and felt as if he was rising into the air. He was told that it was necessary that they would communicate with him, that it was only going to take a short time and all the memory would then be erased from his mind. Soon he found himself back on the field, without any further recollection of what had occurred."

The source indication is a broken link.

Points to consider:

I was unable to locate the "Pirogov region" precisely. Apparently there is:

a Pirogov Hospital, in Sofia, Bulgaria,
a Pirogov Park, in Tartu, Estonia,
a Pyrohiv, or Pirogovo, historic location in the outskirts of Kiev, Ukraine.
