In 1998, somebody sent the story which follows, indicating that it happened on August 1, 1978 in the night in Clarksville, Tennessee, USA, to a ufology web site that published it in 2003:
I was taking a nap in the evening at the above date. I was about 6 months pregnant at the time. I woke up and saw a large craft outside the upstairs window of an A frame structure located in a wooded around. My husband saw it too. For some reason I fainted or went out. I heard a voice with a thick middle eastern accent tell me to open my eyes. I thought to myself, "why would Mark, my husband, tell me to open my eyes. I said no. The voice said you must. I finally did after the voice spoke firmly. What I saw I had never before seen. It looked like an insect. It was thin and white wearing a dark suite, more like a robe. It spoke without moving its lips. I couldn't tell who was talking to me because there was more than one. The others were wearing jumpsuits. He kept telling me to look at him, but I didn't want to and I kept shutting my eyes. He said I must not fear him but I kept screaming and hyperventilating. He kept saying he would not harm me and I must believe that. He kept looking closely in my eyes or at my pupils. I asked him what he was . Was he a snake ? He said no, I am not a reptile. Then I asked if he were a insect. He told me to look at his arms and said something about his joints and were they like an insect? I asked him if he were going to kill me or eat me. He said, Why? do you think you would taste good? This may sound like I am joking, but truly I am not. I kept screaming and shutting my eyes. I was on some sort of table, I know, your classic alien experience. The others around me starting backing away. The taller alien, the one in the robe told them That is the fear, that is the fear you smell. It was awful. I kept going in and out and I was afraid for my baby. They of course, took a long needle and stuck it in my belly button. It hurt worse than anything I had ever felt. It told them it hurt and one of the little mean things put his hand over my eyes. I must have fainted because the pain went away. When I awoke or whatever again I saw the one in the robe talking to another one. Their backs were turned to me so I figured what have I got to lose. I made fun of the back of their heads and told them they looked like basket balls. ONe said, You are making fun of us? I said Yes. I want to go. He said not yet. There was much more but this is hard to talk about and I need to stop now. There were helicopters around the ship when I first saw them before I was awakened. I will detail this later."

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Clarksville, Tennessee, on August 1, 1978, at 2200, the six months pregnant witness had been taking a nap when she suddenly woke up to see a large craft hovering outside the upstairs window over a nearby wood shack. Her husband saw the object too. The main witness fainted but then heard a voice in a thick Middle Eastern accent telling her to open her eyes. When she opened her eyes she was confronted by a tall creature resembling an insect, it was thin and white in color wearing a dark outfit. It apparently spoke to the witness by using telepathy, there were several other similar creatures wearing jumpsuits standing around. The witness conducted a mental conversation with the creature asking it several questions as to its origin. The witness suddenly panicked and screamed and began to pass out, some of the creatures then began backing away. Moments later a long needle was painfully inserted into her belly. She then passed out, and then woke up later to see the taller creature talking to the others. Their heads were large and rounded. At one point the witness claimed she saw several helicopters flying around the hovering craft.

[Ref. ni1:] "THE NICAP WEBSITE":
The website indicates that on August 1, 1978, at 10:00 p.m. in Clarksville, Tennessee, a six-month-pregnant woman had been taking a nap when she woke up to see a large craft hovering outside the upstairs window, over a nearby wood shack. Her husband saw the object too. She fainted but then heard a voice in a thick Middle Eastern accent that told her to open her eyes. When she did [open her] eyes she was confronted by a tall creature resembling an insect, thin and white in color, wearing a dark outfit. It communicated with her by using telepathy. There were several other similar creatures wearing jumpsuits standing in the room. Their heads were large and rounded. The witness conducted a mental conversation with the leader, and asked it several questions about its origin. The witness suddenly panicked and screamed and began to faint, and some of the creatures began backing away. But moments later a long needle was painfully inserted into her belly. She then passed out, and awoke later to see the taller creature talking to the others. At one point the witness claimed she saw several helicopters flying around the hovering craft.
The source is indicated as Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case #3201, citing Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle.
National UFO Center Reporting or NUFORC, is a phone number, an address, and a web site where ufologist Peter Davenport, in the USA, gathers and publishes any received story.
It is naturally inevitable: anyone can tell anything by email.
When there is no investigation, no checking, it is obviously impossible to decide whether such a story is totally invented or whther it holds any truth.
Such a story, with its claims that actually sound whimsical, can of course be published. But it is a different matter, something ufologically inept, to re-publish the story in ufology catalogues without specifying that it is only an unchecked story sent by email, and to remove the most whimsical parts, as if there were a "case" there to take into consideration with the same wight as any other.
