Initial data
One of the most researched and most documented cases of multiple alien abduction occurred in August 1976 in Maine.
Abduction from the Allagash Waterway is an integral part of the alien abduction puzzle. This case attracted the attention of the whole world when it was played out in an episode of the television series "Unsolved Mysteries".
Twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner, along with their friends Chuck Cancer and Charlie Foltz, will be participants in an event related to the discovery of UFOs, lack of time and medical procedures performed by unknown creatures.

On Friday evening, August 20, 1976, four young art students in their early twenties left Boston, Massachusetts to go canoeing and hiking in the wilderness of Northern Maine along the Allagash River. The group consisted of identical twins, Jack and Jim Weiner, Charlie Foltz and Chuck Cancer. Upon arrival at the transshipment point, they hired a pontoon plane that took them and their canoe to Lake Telos on the Allagash waterway.
Over the next few days, they set up canoes and camped along the Waterway. On the evening of Thursday, August 26, they reached Eagle Lake, set up camp and decided to go trout fishing at night.
In the pitch darkness of the area, it took a huge bonfire to mark the location of their camp so that they could return to it. Shortly after he started fishing, Chuck felt that he was being watched.
He told us that:
"I turned in the direction from which I felt it, and saw a large bright sphere of multicolored light, motionless and silently hovering at an altitude of about 200-300 feet (60-90 m) above the southeastern edge of the bay."
Chuck shouted to the others to look around. There, a huge glowing oval-shaped object towered above the trees. As their eyes adjusted to its intense brightness, a gyroscopic movement was noted, as if there were paths of energy flowing equatorially and longitudinally from pole to pole. This divided the sphere into four oscillating quadrants of bright light. The color changes were very fluid and enveloping, as if the whole object had a plasma movement, like a thick sauce when it starts to boil.
Charlie grabbed a flashlight and blinked it at the object. Instantly, the huge rising glowing object abruptly stopped and began to slowly approach the canoe. At the same time, a tube-shaped beam of light burst out of the object and fell on the water.
A glowing ring with a dark center reflected off the surface of the water, indicating that the beam was hollow. The object and its beam of light began to move towards the canoe. Terrified, the campers began to swim frantically to their campfire and camp when a beam swept across the lake directly at them and engulfed them.
It was from this moment on that the conscious memories of the four differed depending on the point of view of each witness. The next thing Charlie remembered was that he swam to the shore and stood at the camp with the others, watching the object move away.
Chuck remembers how he stayed in the canoe after the others fell ashore in a panic. Stunned, still holding the shovel in his hand, he could not take his eyes off the object.
Jack and Jim were able to consciously remember a little more.
Jack said:
"It was just behind us, and I could see that we would never be able to outrun the Beam. He was moving too fast, and I remember thinking, "Damn it! This is it! We will never leave."
The next thing I knew, we were on the shore, getting out of the canoe, looking directly at the object, which was now 20-30 feet (6-9 m) above the water. The beam came out of the lower part, as if the object was sitting on a beam. He hovered there, right in front of us, completely silent, it seemed like four or five minutes.
Suddenly, the beam went up into the sky. The object started moving up and away from us towards the southwest sky, and then shot into the stars and disappeared a second later."
Jim Weiner said:
"There was no mistake that he was coming directly to us. Then I remember standing on the shore of the lake and looking at an object hovering over the lake 50-75 yards (45-68.5 m) in front of us . . . Then the search beam rose into the sky, and we saw it moving away with great speed. It seemed that we were all in shock . . . We just stood there, unable to move or talk."
When the strange analgesic effect had passed, Chuck got out of the canoe and joined the others as they dreamily floated along the beach to their camp. Even in this state, they were stunned when they realized what had happened to the huge bonfire that had just burned a few minutes ago.
"When we went fishing," Jim said, "we put very large logs on the fire so that they would burn for a good 2-3 hours. The whole experience seemed to last 15 or 20 minutes at most. However, the fire has completely burned down to the red color of the coals."
At that time, they didn't remember what happened in the time it took for their huge bonfire to burn down. This remained a mystery to them for many years.
A few years later, Jim suffered a head injury that caused tempero-limbic epilepsy. During the treatment, the doctors asked Jim to report any unusual experiences that could be symptoms of his condition. Jim described the strange experiences he and his friends had after encountering a UFO. This included waking up at night to see strange creatures, levitation from bed, and temporary paralysis when something was done to the genitals. He also described their encounter with a UFO and the missed period of time.
The doctors advised Jim to contact a UFO researcher, as they believed that Jim and his friends could have participated in the UFO abduction.

This is a story about one of the most unusual cases of alien abduction. Four people were abducted at the same time - four men.
In the USA, this case is one of the most famous UFO phenomena. On August 20, 1976, four Boston residents went hiking in the woods near Allagash, Maine.
Two of them were twin brothers Jim and Jack Weiner, the third was their friend Charlie Waltz, and the fourth was their acquaintance Chuck Urick, who was the most experienced in terms of tourism and led the group. It was not the first time they went camping in such a composition and adored this type of recreation. The plan in each case was the same - to wander through the forest for a few days, go fishing on the river and swim in a boat.
On the first night in the forest everything was fine, but on the second the strangeness began. They saw an incomprehensible light in the sky, and it definitely wasn't a plane. A few days later, the men went on a night fishing trip and built a large bonfire on the shore of Eagle Lake, which was supposed to serve as a lighthouse.
When they were preparing fishing rods, having sailed away from the shore on a boat, a strange light appeared in the sky again, and when one of the men turned on a flashlight and pointed it upwards, the light in the sky became even brighter and eventually illuminated their entire boat.
At that moment, the twins and Waltz were seized with great terror, and they began to row desperately to the shore, but Urik was fascinated by the bright light and looked at him with all his eyes. And then everything disappeared, and the next thing all four of them remembered was how they were standing in a row on the shore next to a fire that had burned to ashes. It took at least a few hours, and each of them realized it, but no one wanted to talk about it.
In addition, everyone felt mentally and physically exhausted and just wanted to get to the tents and go to bed, which they did. And the next morning everyone behaved as if nothing had happened." In 1988, Jim Weiner was involved in an accident in which he suffered traumatic brain damage, which caused him to have regular nervous seizures.
But in addition, it turned out that he had been tormented by nightmares for a long time, and he realized that these were not just dreams, but memories of what happened at night during a hike in the forest.
In these memories, he saw gray humanoid creatures with dark eyes without eyelashes and with a "metallic luster". The creatures had long necks, four fingers on their hands, and strangely shaped heads. These creatures examined him as doctors examine a test animal, and three other men were in the corner of the room and looked at him.
Soon Jim Weiner's experiences became so painful that he began looking for a ufologist to tell him about what had happened and find out what he should do about it now.
At the same time, he was joined by his brother, Rack and Waltz, who also had unusual frightening dreams, and they also wanted to find out what happened to them. After a short search, Jim Weiner contacted Raymond Fowler, the founder of MUFON, and told him their story. Fowler advised to consult a specialist in regressive hypnosis Anthony Constantine.
All four had sessions with Konstantin, during which they recalled some details of the abduction and how the aliens took them from the boat and then returned to shore. Among the manipulations that were carried out on them, spirals and other unusual tools were mentioned that were inserted into their bodies.
During the examinations, tissue and fluid samples of various types were also taken from them. Everyone mentioned these manipulations as painful and traumatic. And before these manipulations, four men were illuminated with a blue light that paralyzed their will, and then brought into a room and ordered to strip naked.
According to Anthony Constantine, the Weiner twins had some signs that this was not the first time this had happened to them and they may have been abducted as children. And after hypnosis sessions, Jim Weiner discovered a strange small tumor on one leg on his body.
The tumor scared him, and he immediately ran to the hospital, where it was surgically removed. Fowler was very interested in this tumor, and after the operation he made attempts to find out if he could take it for himself.
However, instead, he found out that the tumor had been sent for examination to a certain colonel of the US Air Force in Washington State. Fowler tried to find out who exactly the tumor was sent to and where it was examined, but also all in vain.
In his opinion, this suggests that the US authorities could have been involved in the incident and tried to remove evidence. Fowler later wrote a book about the Allagash case.

Summary: One of the most researched and best documented cases of multiple alien abduction occurred in August, 1976, in the state of Maine. The Allagash Waterway Abduction is a integral piece of the alien abduction puzzle. This case gained world-wide attention when it was dramatized in an episode of television’s “Unsolved Mysteries.” Twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner, along with their friends Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz, would be participants in an event involving a UFO sighting, missing time, and medical procedures performed by beings unknown.

___________________
On Friday night, August 20, 1976, four young art students in their early twenties left Boston, Massachusetts for a canoe and camping trip in a wilderness area of Northern Maine along the Allagash River. The group consisted of identical twins, Jack and Jim Weiner, Charlie Foltz and Chuck Rak. Upon arrival at a staging point, they hired a pontoon airplane which flew them and their canoes to Telos Lake on the Allagash Waterway.
During the next several days they canoed and camped along the Waterway. On the evening of Thursday, August 26, they reached Eagle Lake, set up camp and decided to go night fishing for trout. The pitch darkness of the area necessitated the building of a huge bonfire to mark their campsite so that they could find their way back to it. Shortly after beginning to fish, Chuck became aware of a feeling of being watched. He told us that:
“I turned toward the direction from where I felt this and saw a large bright sphere of colored light hovering motionless and soundless about 200-300 feet above the southeastern rim of the cove.”
Chuck yelled for the others to look behind them. There, rising above the trees was a huge oval glowing object. As their eyes became adapted to its intense brightness, a gyroscopic motion was noted, as if there were pathways of energy flowing equatorially and longitudinally from pole to pole. This divided the sphere into four oscillating quadrants of bright colored light. The color changes were very liquid and enveloping, as if the entire object had a plasmatic motion to it, like a thick sauce does as it starts a rolling boil.
Charlie grabbed a flashlight and blinked it at the object. Instantly, the huge rising glowing object came to an abrupt halt and began to slowly approach the canoe. Simultaneously, a tube-shaped beam of light erupted from the object and hit the water. A glowing ring with a dark center reflected on the water’s surface, indicating that the beam was hollow. The object and its beam of light began moving toward the canoe. Terrified, the campers began paddling frantically toward their bonfire and camp as the beam swept across the lake directly at them and engulfed them.
It was from this point on that the conscious memories of the four differed according to each witness’ vantage point. The next thing Charlie remembered was paddling for shore and standing at the campsite with the others, watching the object move away.
Chuck Rak remembers staying in the canoe after the others had piled out in panic onto the shore. Transfixed, still holding his idle paddle, he could not take his eyes off the object.
Jack and Jim were able to consciously remember a bit more. Jack said that “It was just behind us and I could see that we were never going to outrun the Beam. It was advancing too fast and I remember thinking, ‘Holy shit! This is it! We’ll never get away.’ The next thing I knew, we were on the shore getting out of the canoe looking directly at the object which was now about 20 or 30 feet above the water. The beam was coming out of the bottom of it like the object was sitting on the beam. It hovered there, right in front of us, completely silent for what seemed like four or five minutes.
“Suddenly the beam was pointing up towards the sky. The object began to move up and away from us towards the southwestern sky and then shot into the stars and was gone in just a second.”
Jim Weiner said that “There was no mistake that it was coming directly to us. Then I remember standing on the lakeshore watching the object hovering above the lake 50 to 75 yards in front of us . . . Then the search beam went upward into the sky and we saw it moving away at a tremendous speed. We all seemed to be in a state of shock . . . We just stood there unable to move or talk.”
When the strange anesthetizing effect wore off, Chuck got out of the canoe and joined the others as they trudged dreamily up the beach to their camp. Even in this state, they were dumbfounded when they realized what had happened to the huge bonfire that had just been blazing several minutes ago. .
“When we left to go fishing,” said Jim, “we set very large logs on the fire to bum for a good 2 to 3 hours. The entire experience seemed to last, at the most, 15 or 20 minutes. Yet the fire was completely burned down to red. coals.” At that time, they had no memory of what happened during the time it took for their huge bonfire to burn down. This would remain a puzzle to them for years.
A few years later, Jim suffered a head injury which caused tempero-limbic epilepsy. During treatment, Jim’s doctors asked him to report any unusual experiences that might be symptomatic of his condition. Jim described strange experiences that he and his friends had experienced since the UFO encounter. These included awaking at night to see strange creatures, levitation from bed, and temporary paralysis while something was done to the genitals. He also described their encounter with a UFO and the period of missing time. Jim’s doctors advised him to contact a UFO researcher as they felt that Jim and his friends may have been involved in a UFO abduction experience. Jim contacted me during one of my UFO lectures in the Boston area.
In January of 1989, I initiated a formal investigation with MUFON Investigator and CEIII/IV specialist, David Webb (Solar Physicist) and with MUFON Consultant, Anthony (Tony) Constantino (Professional Hypnotist). It was conducted in a careful and meticulous manner over a period of 24 months.
It was obvious to us that the period of missing time had to be sandwiched between sighting the object and reaching shore. The beam of light hitting the canoe seemed to be the dividing point between memory and amnesia. During the first of a long series of hypnosis sessions, it was decided to concentrate on this segment of the terrifying encounter.
Under hypnosis, all four witnesses relived detailed and traumatic UFO abduction experiences during the period of missing time. All were transferred from their canoe into the UFO by the hollow tube-like beam of light. On board, they encountered strange humanoid creatures that exerted some kind of mind control over them so that they could not resist their demands.
All were made to undress and sit on a plastic-like bench in an area illuminated by diffuse white light. After looking at their eyes and in their mouths with a pencil-sized rod with a light on its tip, the aliens placed them in a harness and flexed their arms and legs. Then, one by one they were made to lie on a table where each was examined by a number of strange hand-held and larger machine-like instruments that were lowered over their bodies. During this segment of the examination, the alien entities removed samples of saliva, skin scrapings, blood, feces, urine and sperm from each of the abductees.
After the examinations, the abductees were made to dress and enter another room which had a round portal in one of its walls. They were lined up and made to walk into the portal. Strange sensations surged through their bodies as they found themselves floating down the hollow beam of light into their canoe which was now in shallow water near their campsite. The tube-like light seemed to hold the canoe steady as each was placed in it in the same seating positions they were in prior to the abduction.
As the hypnosis sessions continued, much detail was recovered about their on board experience. Also, it was discovered that the twins had had bedtime visitations by alien creatures and abduction experiences since early childhood. These experiences were relived in vivid detail under hypnosis.
During the course of the investigation an extraordinary event occurred. Jack and his wife Mary were abducted from their remote mountain home in Townshend, Vermont.
During the night of May 20, 1988, Jack’s dog woke him up when he scratched at the door wanting to go out to relieve itself. When Jack got up to put him out, he was shocked to see a blue light shining through the kitchen window. He went out to look and saw a glowing object hovering over the field adjoining his house. He decided to bring the dog back in. In the morning, he thought he had dreamed about the whole thing. However, under hypnosis, he relived a shared abduction experience with his wife in minute detail. Mary only remembered dreaming about deer with big eyes coming to their bedside. She did not respond to hypnosis. The following is an excerpt from Jack’s hypnosis sessions.
“It’s blue. A blue light. And I think, ‘That’s funny. That’s not the moon.’ And then I go to the window and I look out the window and what I see is amazing. I see a big, bright light and it’s right over the truck in the field outside the house. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God! I can’t believe that!’ And so I say, ‘Mary, get up. Get up and look!’ And I run to the door and I go out the door and I’m running towards the light up in the field . . . Then I see the dog running alongside me . . . And so I pick him up and I run back to the house . . . The light is still there and it’s moving . . . And then I put the dog back in bed and I’m thinking, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this now!’ I don’t want to look at the light . . . So I’m going back to bed. . . . And I’m thinking, ‘I don’t want to deal with this now. Why are they here now?’ And I’m scared . . . so I pull the covers over my head . . . and Mary’s next to me. And then I know, I know that something’s in the house. I just know that they’re there and I’m under the covers and I think, ‘Oh God, oh God! Why are they here now? I don’t want this to happen.’ (Gasps) And then the covers move and I feel something on the cover . . . And then the covers are down and I’m looking there and I was right. They’re right there! Oh God! They’re right there, right next to my bed . . . It has big eyes and a big head and it’s dark and there’s light behind it coming in the door. And it’s just taking the covers away and I don’t want to look at it . . . And I look at Mary . . . There’s another one there and it’s next to Mary. And I wish that I could do something but I can’t. I have to do what they want. And the light is out there and they want me to go out there . . . They’re lifting me. Mary’s standing and they’re making us move towards light . . . And the dog isn’t doing anything. We’re through the door . . . We walk up the lawn and I feel like I’m floating . . . our feet are on the ground, but my feet are not doing what I want them to.”
Jack and Mary were brought to stand in front of a huge house-sized glowing object sitting on a blue light that enveloped its underside. The glow around the object itself was changing colors from white to yellow to orange and purple and back to white. No noise emanated from the~ object, but the air was filled with the acrid smell of ozone. Then, Jack and Mary were made to walk into the blue light under the object. Instantaneously they were transferred inside of the glowing object. Mary was separated from Jack, who was made to undergo examinations similar to the one that he and his friends had experienced twelve years earlier. After the examination, Mary rejoined Jack and they were literally floated across the lawn from the craft to their house, through the unopened front door and to their bedroom, where they went back to bed in a strange lethargic state of mind.
This experience left physical evidence behind in the form of burns on the bottom of Jack’s feet. Jack also received a biopsy-like scoop mark above his ankle during another abduction. The scoop mark was located just above a scar left behind during an operation for an anomalous lump that had appeared overnight on Jack’s leg several years prior. Jack’s local doctor thought it was a cyst, but was unable to drain it so referred Jack to a surgeon who removed it. Jack was told that local pathologists did not know what it was and that it had been sent to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, for further analysis. However, when we checked Jack’s medical records, we found that it was sent to military pathologists in Washington, D.C., where it was examined by a United States Air Force Colonel. Attempts for further information about the anomalous lump were thwarted as the surgeon would not cooperate with our enquiry.
During the course of the investigation we conducted witness background checks, examined medical records and diaries, cross-checked witness testimony, coordinated witness psychological profile tests, correlated witness accounts with other reports and conducted fifteen hypnosis sessions over a period of 14 months. The final 10-volume report numbered over 700 pages. It was made available to UFO researchers and became the basis of a book on UFO abductions to be published by Time-Life and several TV documentaries.
In summation, this UFO abduction case is unique in a number of ways. It involved four credible persons who all consciously shared the same close-encounter with a UFO in 1976 during a canoe trip along the Allagash Waterway in Northern Maine. All percipients experienced missing time and relived traumatic complementary UFO abduction experiences under hypnosis. Two of the abductees are identical twins, which was of great interest to their alien abductors. Our enquiry revealed that each of the witnesses exhibited the typical benchmarks characteristic of other abductees. Lastly, all of the witnesses are artists and were able to provide detailed sketches of different aspects of their experiences. This has provided the UFO research community some excellent impressions relating to the appearance of alien beings, their instruments and their craft.
The many-faceted and intriguing elements of The Allagash Abductions also provided a catalyst for a detailed correlation of the witnesses’ experiences with benchmarks exhibited in other abduction reports being investigated and studied. Such were derived from an exhaustive survey of 270 reported UFO abductions in the United States and abroad compiled by Dr. Thomas E. Bullard of the University of Indiana. Some major similarities noted were: alien interest in the reproduction system and the extraction of sperm from each of the witnesses; a series of UFO and related paranormal experiences that dated back to early childhood; physical marks on the percipients’ bodies typical of those on the bodies of other UFO abductees; and, the overnight appearance of a lump above the tibia of one of the twins.
In addition, all witnesses were subjected to detailed interrogations, rigorous character reference checks, 12 recorded/transcribed hypnotic regression sessions and a battery of psychological profile tests. We also examined a number of alternate theories advanced to explain UFO abductions: hoaxes, fantasy-prone personalities, psychoses, birth trauma memories and archetypical images from the collective unconscious. Each of these theories was critiqued ‘and eliminated in the light of the evidence collected during our investigation.
The investigation concluded that the moral character of the witnesses, the graphic reliving of their experiences under hypnosis and the extraordinary correlations between their experience and that of others provided overwhelming evidence that their experiences were objective in nature. Such evidence combined with typical physical effects on the witnesses’ bodies prompted me to evaluate this case in the great significance category.
