Tom Campbell and his fellow musicians had a night meeting after leaving Jordan. He remembered these events only a few years later. 

The four musicians had just finished a concert and were busy packing their equipment into a van when a stranger they hadn't noticed at the party approached them and asked for a ride home. They agreed to let him accompany them. Finally, after loading the last of their tools on Board, they all climbed in and went home.

For some inexplicable reason, they chose a service road that bordered the Queen Elizabeth highway to the North and lake Ontario to the South. Near Charles Paley Park, the driver saw a light ahead and thought there was probably an accident. After the stop, those in the back, including Tom, became curious about what happened. 

To which the driver replied:

 "I think you'd better take a look at this."

After doing so, they were surprised to see a saucer standing in the middle of the road. Trying to turn around, the driver found that, despite all his efforts, he could not turn. Worse, the van seemed to float sideways toward the saucer. The drummer in the front passenger seat asked the driver to put his foot on the brake. Tom noticed that there was no road or vehicle.

The van stopped thirty feet (9 m) from the ship. Soon they saw some small figures coming out of the ship.

The next thing I heard was the rattle of the door handle on the driver's side. Tom heard footsteps approaching the back door of the van. At the same time, he saw the alien's head pass through the side window. He had white cream skin with black eyes. 

Suddenly, the mysterious hitchhiker leaned forward and opened it. When he did, the passengers saw that four aliens were looking inside. One quickly climbed inside, but his head didn't reach the ceiling of the van. In the dim light, his features were not very clear. It was obvious that he had no ears and a small mouth. His facial muscles were showing concern, probably because Tom was about to attack them, but couldn't move. 

The alien telepathically informed him that his hostile thoughts were causing him to worry about the safety of his team. That their intention was not to harm the band members, and that their mission was to ensure peace. They wanted to examine three members of the group. At this moment, the alien "captain" turned around and caught his foot on the tripod of the snare drum, which immediately rolled out onto the road. One of the crew picked him up and returned him to the van. 

The three band members and the aliens walked along the edge of the van and entered the saucer through an egg-shaped doorway. There were steps and a corridor further down the curve to the left. When they entered the ship, they saw three chrome bunks on wheels. At this point, they were asked to undress and then sit on cots. Soon Tom saw one of the small humanoids pull up a cart with what looked like a tray of tools. Some looked like dental probes and flashlights. 

Soon the three prisoners were transferred to separate rooms where the aliens collected various body samples. Later, the three band members were escorted to the door, and the bassist was sent away. 

Later, getting into the van, everyone sat down like a zombie, and the stranger with whom he hitchhiked disappeared. Later they went home. Most of their memories were restored years later under hypnosis.

Summary: Tom Campbell and his fellow musicians on leaving Jordan had a nighttime encounter. He had no recollection of the events until years later. The four musicians had just finished a gig and were busy packing their gear into the van when a stranger whom they had not noticed at the party approached and asked for a lift home. They agreed to let him accompany them. Finally loading the last of the instruments on board, all climbed in and set off for home. For some unexplainable reason they took a service road that bordered the Queen Elizabeth Highway on the north and Lake Ontario on the south. Close to Charles Paley Park the driver saw lights up ahead and thought that there had probably been an accident. Upon stopping, those in the rear, including Tom were curious as to what had happened. To which the driver replied, “I think you had better take a look at this.” Upon doing so they were astonished to see a saucer sitting in the middle of the road. Attempting to turn around the driver found that despite his very best efforts, he couldn’t turn. Even worse the van appeared to be floating sideways towards the saucer. The drummer, who was in the passenger seat up front, suggested to the driver putting his foot on the brake. Tom noticed that there appeared to be no road, vehicle contact. The van came to a halt within thirty feet of the craft. Soon they saw what appeared to be small figures getting out of the craft. The next thing that was heard was the door handle on the driver’s side rattling. Tom could hear footsteps moving down alongside the van to the rear door. At the same time he saw the head of the alien pass the side window. It had white cream-colored skin with black eyes. Suddenly the mysterious hitchhiker leant forward and opened it. When he did so the occupants saw four aliens looking in. One promptly climbed in, yet his head did not reach the ceiling of the van. In the dim light his features were not very clear. It was apparent he had no ears, and a small mouth. His facial muscle showed concern, probably because Tom was contemplating attacking them, but was unable to move. The alien telepathically informed him that his hostile thoughts made him concerned for the safety of his crew. That it was not their intention to harm the band members and their mission was one of peace. They wanted to examine three members of the group. At that point the alien “captain” turned around and caught his foot in the tripod of the snare drum, which promptly rolled out onto the road. One of the crewmembers picked it up and returned it to the van. Three of the band members and the aliens passed down the side of the van and entered the saucer through an egg-shaped doorway, steps were visible and a hallway further on the curve to the left. Entering the craft they saw three chrome cots on wheels. At which point they were asked to undress and then sit on the cots. Soon Tom saw one of the little humanoids wheeling a cart over towards him with what looked like a tray of instruments on it. Some looked like dental probes, and lights. Soon the three captives were taken into separate rooms in which the aliens collected different body samples. Later the three band members were escorted to the door and the bass player was sent. Later getting into the van everyone sat like zombies and also the stranger that had hitchhiked a ride with was gone. Later they drove home. Most of their memories were retrieved years later under hypnosis.
