protons on some boats. It was really frightening and I had only one thing in mind: to get the hell out of there. I turned the car around at the crossing, but a bit too fast. It began sliding towards a snowdrift at the side of the road. When I tried to back the car out of the drift it was stuck. When I looked behind me I could to my relief see that the object was gone".

The shock

"I opened the car door to try to push the car free. I had just got my foot out when someone grabbed my left arm. A small creature 4-5 feet high and dressed in some kind of cowl that hid his face. The body shape looked "square" just like the head. I don't remember what the arms and hands looked like and I couldn't see any legs -maybe the cowl hid them. The creature pulled me out of the car with surprising strength. I got real scared and screamed and tried to pull free from the grip of the creature. Soon I also got free and started running towards some houses I knew of close by. But I had only ran a few feet when a couple of new creatures appeared in the dark and jumped towards me.

I tried to run back to the car, but fell on the ground exhausted or maybe it was the shock. The last few feet I crawled in the snow - my legs wouldn't carry me. After I had reached the car I don't remember anything before I woke up at the hospital in Vàxjö".

This was Ante's story. About 1.50 am a phonecall was placed to the police in Vàxjö. A man in a car travelling north on Road 30 had seen something strange a few miles north of Vàckelsaeng and driven back to a phoneboot in the village. He wanted to report a car with the lights on in a snowdrift by the road. Over the road an object hovered. The man reported his name and said that he was going to wait for the police to arrive. But unfortunately he didn't and has not been heard from since then.

Two policemen arrived and found Ante sitting in his car in a state of shock. He was brought to Vàxjö Hospital and could after receiving tranquillizer gradually tell what had happened. After examination one could see that apart from the state of shock Ante was completely well. No signs of mental illness could be found either.

For a long time Ante refused to talk about his experience, because he rea-
