15 September 1976 After midnight
New London, Missouri, USA
Abduction, under 4' tall Greys, physiological effects. Medical exam on table in round room, telepathy, given predictions of future disasters.
Occupants of the craft were seen. An abduction of a witness was reported. Physiological effects were noted. Witness reported that a period of time could not be accounted for. Telepathic phenomena were said to have occurred. One object was observed by one female 41-year-old witness at a cemetery (Yarbrough). A 4-foot-tall grey being was seen.
Dorothy Yarbrough, 41, who had gone to bed in her trailer home, awoke to find herself sitting on the couch, with bright lights coming in the window. She took her shotgun and 3 shells and went to the back door. When she opened it, she saw the sky so fiery red that she thought the world must have been ending. Without conscious volition, she went back in, put the gun away, and walked out the front door, barefoot, with her head hanging down, and walked to an excavation site about 20 ft away. There she saw 2 "forms" standing beyond the excavation, and 7 or 8 more "forms" farther away, lined up by a fence who seemed to be "in confusion;" they were "jibber jabbering" to each other. These forms were very small (less than 4 ft0, with big heads and "swollen" cheeks. Above her head she could hear a sound like a helicopter, which was shedding a bright bluish white light, but she could not raise her head to look at it. She walked up, still without her own volition, toward the nearest "form", which was surrounded by a mist. The last thing she remembered was seeing a white hand near her---a hand with something "wrong" about it. When she woke up in the morning in her bed, she found dirt on her feet, whose soles felt burned. For a week afterwards she felt weak and had a sore stomach, as well as a persistent headache that took nearly 2 weeks to wear off. But she found that she that she was no longer a "worrier," as she had been before. She also had a better appetite, and temporarily gained about 60 pounds. Under hypnosis she remembered that the nearest "form" had big eyes, was dressed in dark form fitting clothing, and carried a shiny metal rod; his hand had 2 thumbs. He told her telepathically that they meant her no harm. She was led up a kind of rope ladder into a "round room", laid on a table, and given a physical examination. Another person---a man, perhaps her husband---was wheeled into the room after this, while she was taken into a dome with blue lights revolving around it, then back down the ladder. The leader of the humanoids told her that she would begin to "see" things since then; she has made and recorded a number of predictions.
