A man who said he was the vice president of the "New Jersey UFO Research Organization" ...

A man who said he was the vice president of the "New Jersey UFO Research Organization" and that he would like to talk to him about the Stephens case called Dr. Herbert Hopkins, the physician who conducted the hypnotic sessions with David Stephens, on the phone. Dr. Hopkins told him to come right up, and went to the back door to turn on the porch light. A man dressed in black was already coming up the porch steps; no one could have got to the house that quickly from any telephone, but this did not occur to the witness at the time. The man wore a derby hat, a black tie, a white shirt, and black clothing. This looked immaculate, as if just put on. He came in and sat down; when he removed his hat, Dr Hopkins could see that he was completely bald and had no eyebrows or eyelashes. His nose and ears were small and low-set; his head and face were of a dead white color, his lips vivid red. His mouth was a perfectly straight slit, which he hardly opened. He asked Dr Hopkins about the Stephens case, speaking in an expressionless monotone and not grouping his words into sentences or phrases. While Dr Hopkins was telling about the case, he put the back of a gray-gloved hand against his lips. The red color came off on the glove; he was wearing lipstick. This man did not at any time move his head with respect to his body. He then told Dr. Hopkins that he had two coins in his left pocket, which was true. He told him to take one of the coins and hold it in the palm of his hand; Dr Hopkins took a penny. This proceeded to turn silver in color, then light blue; then it became blurred, became round, and then faded away. Dr Hopkins asked him to make the coin return, but he replied; "Neither you nor anyone else on this plane will ever see that coin again." He then told the witness, that Barney Hill died because he knew too much, and that he died "because he had no heart, just a you no longer have a coin." He told him that he had tape recordings of the Stephens's case and correspondence relating to the case, which the witness admitted was true. The man then ordered him to destroy the tapes and all other UFO information, or he would suffer the same fate as Barney Hill. He said he would know when this had been done. The witness noticed that his speech was slowing down. Slowly, and somewhat unsteadily, he got to his feet and said, very slowly, "My energy is running low -- must go now -- good bye." He descended the porch steps one at a time and very slowly and unsteadily walked to the corner of the building. He was walking toward a hedge. A bright bluish light, from the driveway, was shining as he left. Dr Hopkins then out to watch the driveway, but the light was gone, and the man never came out. Later he and his eldest son found in the middle of the driveway "a series of marks that looked like a small caterpillar tractor tread", 4" x 18." The witness was so shaken by this visit that he burned the tapes and everything on UFOs he had.
