The Encounter

The experiencer is a mechanical engineer who had an abduction experience on April 4th, 2007. They had previously undergone a near-death experience and sought to explore that realm through ayahuasca ceremonies in Brazil. During one ceremony, they felt a white light lift them out of their bed and into a ship. Inside the ship, they saw tall, thin beings with mantis-like heads. They were strapped to a table and felt their consciousness being sedated. The beings used instruments on them, taking samples from their body. Despite feeling apprehensive, the experiencer communicated with the beings and expressed their desire to leave intact. After the procedure, they were returned to their bed.
