1639- America's first recorded UFO and alien abduction

Alien space craft in 1639?

When you think of aliens, UFOs, and alien abduction, most people think of the famous 'Betty and Barney Hill' case from the early 60's.  However there is some support that the first recorded UFO and alien abduction case came much earlier in 1639.

Muddy River, outside of Boston

Governor John Winthrop wrote in his journal of a strange case of men on the Muddy River observed a great light which they followed for some time, suddenly this great light contracted into the shape of a pig, and after it had left the men had found themselves mysteriously back at their original spot up river.  The journal took great pains to say that these were men of good character, and implied others had also seen this light.

The takeaway from this is men from that time period described the light contracting in a shape of a pig which could be a craft with landing struts of some kind.  The mysterious missing time and finding themselves back at the origin point have all the markings of a classic alien abduction case.  Unfortunately outside of the journal, other evidence from that time period is scant, which at that point mass print media simply did not exist in the young country.



Just what happened?  Have UFO's and 'missing time' been a part of the new world from the very beginning?

Aleister Crowley, grey aliens, and scientologist L. Ron Hubbard

I did an article for UFO digest some time back about the connection with notorious occultist and cultural icon Aleister Crowley. It turns out that the wickedest man alive may have had connections with the creature that may or may not be the 'grey' alien which is now the popular image of aliens.

Here is the popular image of occult explorer Crowley

Here is the 'otherworldly' creature that had contact with Crowley circa 1917.  The picture that Crowley drew has obvious similiarties with the popular 'grey aliens' in current UFO mythos.

A little known fact is that one of Crowley's disciples was the future scientology guru L. Ron Hubbard. Despite many spin articles and denials about it otherwise after his passing, L. Ron was quite frank in his admiration of Crowley, and certainly the idea of aliens affecting humanity as a basic concept for scientology was at least rooted in some levels with Crowley's work. If you substitute spiritual entity with other dimensional or space entity, Crowley becomes a reluctant part of the UFO pantheon.
