Summary/Description: This report documents a Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind (CE-IV) that took place in San Diego, California, on March 15, 1963. The witness, then eight years old, describes a basketball-sized energy orb with swirling red and orange colors that appeared in their bedroom. The encounter involved physical interaction with the orb and subsequent memories of being taken aboard saucer-shaped crafts by both tall and small Grey entities. Decades later, the witness discovered physical evidence in the form of “scoop marks” and persistent skin irritation, which they link to the event. The narrative highlights a lifelong journey from suppressed memories to a deep interest in astronomy and extraterrestrial phenomena.
My experience happened when I was approximately 8 years old while living in my parents’ home in San Diego. I had just gone to bed and was lying there thinking when an orb the size of a basketball appeared out of nowhere, hovering about two feet directly above my chest.
The most striking feature was the motion within the orb: it had two swirling colors of red and orange mixing one into the other, yet staying distinct and separate. For reasons I cannot explain, I felt no fear whatsoever—only a profound sense of calm and peace. I reached up and placed my hands on both sides of the orb. When I pressed or squeezed it, the sensation was exactly like squeezing an inflated ball; as I pushed in, it pushed back out. It was pure energy.
This continued for about 10 minutes, and then I have no recollection of falling asleep or the object leaving. Remarkably, this orb returned the very next night. Again, it allowed me to hold and interact with it. For the next week, I lay in bed trying to recreate the experience, hoping it would return, but it never did.
The Memory Returns
I forgot about this experience for 45 years. My memory returned as if it were yesterday while I was explaining to my girlfriend how you can feel energy by cupping your hands together and pressing inward. That specific sensation of resistance was identical to what I felt with the orb in 1963.
During the decades that the memory was suppressed, I had an insatiable appetite for UFO literature and documentaries. It was through this research that I learned about “scoop marks.” Upon checking my own body, I discovered two: one very large mark on my calf and another that was still scabbing over, accompanied by patches of brown, dry skin the size of a pencil eraser. Nineteen years later, the deep scoop mark and these patches of scabbing still exist.
The Craft Encounters
On two separate occasions, I had what initially felt like dreams but which I now believe were memories of boarding saucer-shaped crafts.
In the first instance, I was at our family horse corral in a rural setting when I was met at the gate by a seven-foot-tall, spindly Grey. Curiously, the entity had the face and voice of my sister and told me everything would be fine. I followed it to a saucer-shaped craft where a small Grey met me at the entrance. Inside, I observed a control panel with a window above it that wrapped around most of the ship. The small Grey told me we were going to go “straight up and straight back down,” while a second tall Grey stood across the ship, watching silently.
The second account involved walking up a trail toward a landed craft where a tall Grey stood waiting at the door. I remember the feeling of confusion while walking back down that same trail afterward, wondering why I was there.
Conclusion
I believe I was abducted on these occasions, both from my bedroom and from the isolated country ranch where I lived during junior high. I have the physical evidence—the scoop marks and persistent skin irritation—to support this. While I was unable to be successfully put under regression hypnosis, these experiences have left me with the knowledge that there are friendly life forms out there and a lifelong passion for astronomy and the study of alien entities.
