It was a beautiful summer day in July 1968. Jennings Frederick, armed with bow and arrow, hunted marmots, but the sun was already setting, and he never put anything in his bag.
As he walked home, he pondered, and suddenly he heard what he later described as "some kind of muttering in a thin voice, very similar to the sound of a record that is played at an accelerated pace."
According to writer Gray Barker - the journalist who interviewed Frederick - that voice said:
“You don’t have to be afraid of me. I want to chat with you. I came as a friend. We know everything about you. I come in peace. I need medical attention. I need your assistance!
But who could have sent such a message? And did Frederick hear him with his own ears or did he receive it through telepathy?
Suddenly, from nowhere, a creature appeared with a semi-human face, long ears and yellow slanted eyes. His hands were as thick as a finger, and his palms had three fingers - thin as needles - and each finger ended in a sucker. The shape and color of the body resembled the stem of a plant - the same thin and green.
At first, Frederic thought that his fingers were entangled in a thorny bush, but soon realized that a humanoid grabbed his hand and sucked blood.

Suddenly, the creature's eyes changed color - turned red - and began spinning like reels on a spinning rod. Frederic immediately ceased to feel pain and froze under the hypnotic effect of these eyes.
"Necessary medical attention" in the form of a blood transfusion lasted for about a minute, after which the creature released him and ran down the mountainside, taking steps seven meters wide.
It was then that Frederick felt pain. On the way home, he heard a humming sound and thought that it must be the blade-man now taking off on his flying saucer or on the spacecraft in which he flew here.
Frederick returned home and decided to tell the family that he scratched himself on a thorny bush so as not to become a laughing stock. No one heard of this story until a few months later, Frederick met his friend Barker.
By the way, for Frederick and his family, UFOs were not new. His mother encountered one such object when Frederick was still in school. After seeing her husband to work and the children to school, the mother washed the dishes after breakfast. Then she looked out the kitchen window and saw that a child was playing in a clearing not far from the mountainside. She was worried that the boy might inadvertently touch the electrified livestock fence, so she decided to go out and warn him.
When the woman went out into the street, she saw that it was not a child, but some kind of small black or dark green creature. It stuffed its bag with dirt and grass. Not far from the creature was a flying saucer, from which a ladder descended to the ground. The little alien was connected to his aircraft with a cable or something like that.
The flying saucer reached three meters in diameter and one and a half meters in height, had a white and silver color and a row of windows at the base of the dome. It seemed to rotate clockwise, while making a humming sound.
The little alien outwardly looked more like an animal than a person: he was completely naked, had pointed ears and a tail. The woman could not see his face in any way.
Mrs. Frederick ran into the house, went to bed and covered her head with a blanket, hoping that whoever it was should disappear. A few minutes later, she looked out the window and saw how a wondrous creature enters its spaceship and takes off. The hum intensified as the saucer rose into the air - "light as a feather."
Mrs. Frederic did not tell anyone about what happened to her - until her son returned from school. He - a UFO fanatic - knew exactly what to look for and immediately went to where the flying saucer was landing.
There he noticed a depression in the ground - a trace from the support of a spacecraft - and, based on the density of the soil and the description of the device, he calculated its weight, which was about a ton. He also found footprints in the shape of a paw, from which he determined that the creature weighed about 20 kilograms.
Frederick took samples of the villi from this depression and sent them to the Air Force specialists, along with the plaster casts of the tracks. Such evidence convinced Jennings that his mother had indeed seen both this creature and this plate.
According to Gray Barker, Air Force specialists offered "a stupid explanation that it was a balloon, and never returned the evidence presented to them."
Jennings' direct contact with the aliens did not end with the Blade Man, although he never met an alien while working for the Air Force. After being fired, he returned to his parents and one day, somewhere between 01:00 and 04:00, he was awakened by a flash of red light.
Frederick instinctively drew his.38 service revolver from under his pillow and began to study the surroundings. At first, he thought that the source of the light might have been the gas that had leaked into the living room. Suddenly, a hand grabbed him and a needle stuck into his left shoulder.
Opposite were three men in black turtlenecks and some kind of dark wide trousers; their faces were covered with masks. One of them said:
- The dogs in the yard pounced on us, and all of them had to be poisoned!
- What about this? asked another.
“He’s almost asleep already - he’ll soon lose consciousness,” came the answer. - Do not worry about the needle: the pain in the arm will go away in a day, at most in two.
At the moment when what looked like a tin can approached Frederick, the three put on gas masks; and the last thing he remembered was how one of the aliens put the "can" in his pocket.
According to Frederick, these creatures pulled something over his face and started asking questions about UFOs - in particular, what, in his opinion, the saucers really are. They also asked him what time it was and what he thought about the future. At that moment, Frederic apparently fainted, since he did not remember anything else - and no one in the house said a word about any strange night events. Frederick decided that the gas in the "cans" "turned off everyone who was at home."
