Indio, California , USA
Close encounter with a craft and its occupants. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by two witnesses on a highway.
A week or ten days later after observing a mysterious light maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to Phoenix for more things and she asked her brother to go along with her for company. While driving up a hill somewhere in the vicinity of Indio, she began to receive pictures in her mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and browns; she would counter them by thinking of bright colors. She could sense a kind of puzzlement regarding her color images. She found the "gray" images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. Feeling that she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving and noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. She and her brother both observed briefly a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished, in view less than a minute. Her brother was very excited. The trip continued, apparently uneventfully. Later under hypnotic regression the main witness is asked to examine d her image of gray interior more closely. She describes the gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back wall. She is with three vague shapes or "shadows." It's not a pleasant place; she feels there's another experience at another time. She is asked to go back to that experience and she finds herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange sky. There is a white bench in the room. The room is very sterile. Then she finds herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling; she is standing beside a 20-foot high crystal, set at an angle so that it points toward the sky. It's green on the bottom half, and it turns. There are other similar crystals in this place; about five in all, they are hooked to a large piece of machinery. It's similar to a generator. The crystal is connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hums. There are two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looks older, with grayish hair. The younger man, in black, is taller. They point out a formula to her, which is on the wall; it is composed of script letters. She is brought out of the trance and is given the post hypnotic suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does. No other information.
