A young witness who lived in a suburb of the capital recalls waking up and looking at the "glow in the dark" dial of his bedside clock, realizing that the second hand had stopped. 

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light outside his window, looking out on the side of the neighbor's house. He got out of bed, went to the window, and saw a light on the roof of a neighbor's house.

The next thing he knew, he felt like he was on a metal table. He realized that he was being examined by doctors (he couldn't remember seeing anything that looked like an alien). 

He remembered calling his mother and crying, but he doesn't remember anything after that.

The next morning, he woke up to his father yelling that he was late for work because the clock had stopped. He ran downstairs to tell his parents what had happened to him, but they were too exhausted to listen. 

His father also said that his wristwatch also stopped; apparently, all the clocks in the house stopped at about the same time.

Original news

Location. Washington D.C.
Date: 1972 Time: night
The young witness who lived in a suburb of the capital remembers waking up and
looking at the “glow in the dark” face of his bedside wind up clock, and realizing
that the second hand had stopped. Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light
outside his window, facing the side of the next door neighbor’s house. He got out of
bed and went to the window, and saw a light sitting on top of the neighbor’s house.
Next thing he knew, he felt like he was on a metal table. He realized that he was
being examined by doctors (he could not remember seeing anything that looked like
an alien). He remembered asking for his mom and crying but doesn’t remember
anything after that. He woke up the next morning to his dad screaming his head off
that he was late to work because the clocks had stopped. He ran downstairs to tell
his parents what happened to him, but they were too harried to listen. His dad also
commented that his wristwatch had also stopped; apparently every clock in the
house had stopped at approximately the same time.
