M.I.B. EXPERIENCE - 1976 *
----------------------------
In 1976 the journal "Flying Saucer Review" published a series of
articles about a UFO case in Maine. A physician, Dr. Herbert Hopkins,
had been one of the primary investigators in the case. Hopkins had
accumulated tapes and other documentation on the case and had performed
extensive hypnotic regression on the witnesses.
On Saturday, September 11, 1976, at 8:00 p.m. Hopkins received a
telephone call from a man asking if he could come over and discuss the
UFO case with him. The man said he was associated with a UFO group in
new jersey. The man asked Hopkins if he was home alone. Hopkins
responded he was. Despite concerns about drug-related robbery, Hopkins
found himself agreeing to the request.
Although Hopkins was a bit confused by his positive reply to the man,
he walked to the back door to turn on the porch light. When he got to
the door, the man was coming up the steps. This concerned Dr. Hopkins,
he could not figure out where the man could have called from and arrive
so quickly at his doorstep. Still, Hopkins opened the door and let the
man in without even asking the man who he was or what he wanted.
The man's appearance was strange; he was about 5'8" tall, no hair -
completely bald, had no eyelashes, no eyebrows. He was dressed in a
neatly pressed black suit with a black derby and black shoes. Hopkins
noticed the man was extremely pale, but had ruby red lips. Hopkins
noticed the man was wearing lipstick and grey gloves.
The man asked a number of questions about the Maine UFO case, speaking
in a monotone voice and did not emphasize words in his sentences.
Suddenly, the man told Hopkins that he had two coins in his pocket and
to take one out and put it in his hand. Hopkins only had two coins in
his pocket and he pulled a penny out.
The man told Hopkins to stare at the penny. As he watched the penny
became blurry and disappeared. The man then asked Hopkins what he knew
of Barney Hill. Hopkins said Barney died after a long illness. The man
told him he died because he knew too much.
Hopkins was taken by fear at this point. The man told Hopkins to
destroy all his notes, tapes messages he had concerning the
investigation immediately. The man stood up, and began talking much
slower. each word dragged as the man slowly walked to the door. Hopkins
opened the door for the man, and he walked down the steps very slowly.
Hopkins saw a light at the end of the driveway, and thought it was from
the man's car, but the man walked in the opposite direction. Hopkins
ran to a window to see where the man was going, but he was not there.
He ran to the door, looked out, but the man and the light were gone.
When his family returned, he and his son looked in their driveway, and
they found a series of four-inch wide tracks about eighteen inches
long. They were deep into the driveway and resembled tracks from a
tractor. The marks disappeared the next day. that evening, Hopkins
destroyed his UFO records.
