The Andreasson Affair by Raymond E. Fowler, J. Allen Hynek Read Free Book Online

they actually put you on the table to examine you, or did you get on the table?
    Betty: No. It seemed like I
floated
up there somehow. I was just swept off my feet and laid there.
    The alien creatures’ physical examination of Betty was one of the most emotion-packed portions of the case. In the earlier hypnosis session devoted to this episode (on May 7, 1977), Betty was not allowed to relive this painful episode as a participant. Through hypnotic suggestion, she was removed from the role of active participant so that she could view the scene merely as an impassive observer.
    Harold: All right, now, I want you to relax. You can feel yourself settling, still more and more. All right; you will have nothing to fear. Did they have to tie you down in order to perform the examination? [
Betty remained silent
.] Were you strapped down or were you held?
    Betty: I was held somehow, because I didn’t want that examination.
    Harold: Fine. Just relax. Deeper and deeper.
    Fred: Were the beings all of the same kind?
    Betty: They were all the same kind, but one was taller than the others.
    Fred: Were they dressed alike?
    Betty: In that room, they seemed to be in different clothes—shiny white silver clothes. [See Figure 19 on page 60 .]
    Fred: Were these different beings than the ones you met in the kitchen?
    Betty: Their skin seemed whiter. Maybe it’s because of the bright light in there. It didn’t seem so claylike gray.
    Fred: The leader was the same as the one you had in the kitchen?
    Betty: Yeah, he’s the same.
    Harold: What happened next?
    Betty: There’s a big block—long block-thing they had me on, and… lights coming from the walls, and…wires,
needle
wires. They took those long silver needles—they were bendable—and they stuck one up my nose and into my head!
    Jules: Did you feel the pain?
    Betty: Yes, but they touched the top of my head and took it away—touched my forehead. They said they were
awakening
something…
    Harold: Just relax for a moment, okay? Just relax, relax, just relax. You’re going deeper and deeper into a beautiful place of peace, of quiet—your whole body is relaxing as you go still deeper and deeper.… All right, continue now, Betty.
    Joseph: Are there any sounds associated with this particular experience?

    Betty: When they stuck that needle up my nose, I heard something break like a membrane or a veil or something—like a piece of tissue or something they broke through.
    Jules: When this object was inserted in your nostril—was it a drilling effect, or just a penetrating?
    Betty: Just a penetrating-pushing.
    Jules: Which nostril?
    Betty: My left…left.
    Fred: Did they leave you alone for a while?
    Betty: No. They were getting it over and done with. And they inserted another long silver thing through my belly button—my navel. And when they did, they started talking with each other.
    Fred: What was this long thing connected to?
    Betty: I really can’t see it, ‘cause I’m lying down straight.
    Joseph: Did they tell you what the purpose was for the penetration of your navel? What was that examination for?
    Betty: Something about
creation
, but they said there were some parts missing.
    Joseph: Can you explain to us what was meant?
    Betty: It was because I had a hysterectomy, I guess.
    Shortly after young Cindy’s birth, Betty had had to enter the hospital for suspected cancer. The operation was even more complex because Betty was four months’ pregnant. Because the state of her health would have precluded her carrying the baby to term, the surgeons performed a hysterectomy. (Happily, the operation was a success, and Betty soon returned home.)
    Harold: Betty, just relax. I want you now to tell yourself within your mind exactly how you’re going to feel when you awaken. And then awaken yourself, feeling exactly that way.
    When Betty awakened from
