The Encounter

The person in this account is Edna, who had her first encounter with extraterrestrial beings when she was 10 years old in August 1930. Edna lived on a farm in Piedmont, Missouri, where her family had reported visits from gray extraterrestrials since the 1850s. One night, while sleeping on a porch, she saw a gray being with big eyes looking at her through the window. She felt frozen in fear as more beings appeared next to her bed. The next morning, they were gone. Edna's family often heard strange sounds and saw lights around their farm at night. This experience affected Edna's life, as she continued to see these beings and felt a sense of familiarity with them over the years.
