1978, MOSCOW, MOSCOW, RUSSIA, "N":

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

A sensationalitic Russian writer reportedly told that in Moscow, Russia, in 1978, late at night, a certain "N", a translator, went to bed one late night in her Moscow flat when suddenly her two lap dogs started to whine and skulking in a corner.

A few minutes later, an enormously tall figure appeared in front of a rather large window. "N" had no time to react as she heard - not in her ears, but rather at the nape of her neck, as she puts it - a very definite phrase thrice repeated, "I need your mind, I need your mind, I need your mind". The voice was calm, masculine, mechanical, and somewhat robot-like.

Next she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and in both temples and fainted. Having not reported to her office the next day, the worried colleagues went to her place after the working day. They heard the dogs whining behind the door. They opened the door with the help of the police and found N lying on the floor unable to move. With the help of doctors she came to her senses and said: "I have an impression that all my energy had been sucked out of her" (sic). It took her a rather long time to recover.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Moscow, Russia, in 1978, late at night, a certain N, a translator, went to bed one late night in her Moscow flat when suddenly her two lap dogs started to whine and skulking in a corner. A few minutes later there appeared in front of a rather large window an enormously tall figure. N had no time to react as she heard (not in her ears, but rather at the nape of her neck, as she puts it) a very definite phrase thrice repeated, "I need your mind, I need your mind, I need your mind". The voice was calm, masculine, mechanical, and somewhat robot-like. Next she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and in both temples and fainted. Having not reported to her office the next day, the worried colleagues went to her place after the working day. They heard the dogs whining behind the door. They opened the door with the help of the police and found N lying on the floor unable to move. With the help of doctors she came to her senses and said: "I have an impression that all my energy had been sucked out of her". It took her a rather long time to recover.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Vladimir Azazha, "UFO: The psychophysical aspect."

Points to consider:

Readers of Boris Shurinov's book "OVNIS en Russie - les deux faces de l'ufologie Russe" will understand why the story cannot be considered to come from a reliable source.
