It was a Sunday evening in 1966 in Cicero, Illinois. Thirteen-year-old Laura Caigoy and her best friend Ruthie's went outside and waited in the family station wagon, talking and laughing. Laura's mother was coming to pick her up and take Laura to her home.
Suddenly, Laura heard and felt a low thrumming noise. "Do you hear that?" she asked Ruthie. But Ruthie didn't answer. Laura looked around for the source of the noise, but saw nothing unusual. "Do you hear that?" she asked again. Still, Ruthie didn't respond.
The sound grew louder, so Laura jumped out of the car and scanned the street. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except for the weird thrumming noise. Then, looking up, Laura could hardly believe her eyes. A huge saucer-shaped craft floated just above the streetlights only a block away, and it was moving towards them.
The craft was large enough to span the entire width of the street. It was a perfect saucer with a little dome on top. A row of windows surrounded the perimeter. The interior of the craft was lit with a brilliant yellow light. It moved leisurely forward at only a few miles per hour.
Laura screamed Ruthie's name and banged on the car, but Ruthie said nothing. Laura was shocked to see that Cermak Road, which was normally busy with traffic, was now completely empty of cars.
The craft approached until it was directly overhead. Laura felt no fear, only amazement and awe. Looking down, she saw three people standing nearby, two older women, who seemed not to notice the craft, and another lady staring at her.
The woman looked strange. Dressed in dark clothes, she was short, had strangely smooth skin, black shiny hair that looked almost painted on, and was wearing dark wrap-around sunglasses, at night!
"Look!" Laura said, pointing up. "Isn't this amazing?"
The strange woman looked casually up at the craft and then continued staring at Laura, almost as if studying he. She seemed to be more interested in Laura than the UFO itself!
The craft was low enough that Laura could've hit it with a rock. It slowly moved off, continuing down the street. Laura followed it down the street for another block, until the road turned into a T-intersection. The craft kept going over the housetops, disappearing into the distance.
Thrilled by the encounter, Laura rushed back to the car and said softly, "Ruthie?" Her friend instantly bolted upright. Laura told her about the UFO, and Ruthie was shocked. She had passed out. She didn't see anything.
Years passed. Laura grew up, moved to California, fell in love with a man, got married and had a baby. Twenty-five years later, her son (now five or six years old) began to suffer from unexplained nosebleeds. And so did Laura.
At the same time, her son experienced severe nightmares in which he said strange tan creatures with huge dark eyes would come into his bedroom. One of them was a creature he called the "bony crab monster" a skeletal spidery-looking being with weird crab-like hands. Her son said that the creatures would levitate him out of the room and into the backyard.
Laura assumed her son was having vivid nightmares. Then, one evening, the bony crab monster came back and told her son, "Don't be afraid," and cut his finger. The next morning, her son related the 'dream' and showed Laura the cut on his finger.
Laura was shocked. Could her son's dreams be real? But how was that possible? Weeks later, Laura's husband came home with shocking news. He had seen a UFO -- a large, glowing triangular object.
Not long after that, Laura had her own sighting of a huge cylindrical-shaped craft, lit up at both ends. To her amazement, it was being chased by a police helicopter.
She thought of her own childhood sighting. Her son's nightmares also came to mind. Could all of this be related? She decided to look into the subject of UFOs and received an incredible shock. All the strange details seemed to come together. The way Ruthie fell asleep. The strange appearance of the woman with the dark wraparound sunglasses. The unexplained nosebleeds. Her son's nightmares of weird creatures with huge dark eyes." His description of being levitated out of the house. The cut on his finger. Could this all be because of UFOs and aliens?
Searching her past for clues, Laura now recalled a strange event at age five which back then had made no sense. It was something so bizarre, so unbelievable, she was never able to understand what happened. Now suddenly, it began to make sense.
Laura's story is one of the more unusual cases of its kind, and it provides some interesting and unique insights about what it's like to have extraterrestrial contact. If you'd like to read more, check out my book, "Extraterrestrial Visitations." Now available!
