Kelly and Andrew Cahill from Melbourne said that in August 1993 they were driving when they noticed a strange object with round orange lights in the sky, but this is not the most shocking thing in this story. 

The couple said they were abducted by tall, skinny aliens with red eyes who burned a triangle into the skin around Kelly's navel. The couple "woke up" in their car, having lost an hour of time. 

"I felt a punch in the stomach and flew in the air, and I heard my husband say, "Let me go," and this male voice that said: "I won't hurt you," she told reporters.

The story created such a sensation that it was mentioned by Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) in The X-Files.. Ms. Cahill published a bestseller, went on a talk show, and then fell silent. 

UFO experts from Phenomena Research Australia (PRA) studied the claims and compiled a 300-page report. In 2020, 27 years after the "abduction," the PRA said it was considering publishing its findings, but not in the near future.

Original news

Melbourne’s Kelly and Andrew Cahill said they were driving in August 1993 when they spotted a weird object in the sky with circular orange lights, but that isn’t the shocking part of the story. The couple said they were abducted by tall, skinny aliens with red eyes who burned a triangle into the skin around Kelly’s navel. The couple ‘awoke’ in their car having lost an hour’s time. “I felt this blow to my stomach and went flying in the air and I heard my husband say ‘Let go of me’, and this male voice that said, 'I mean you no harm'," she told journalists. The Cahills’ story was such a sensation it was mentioned by agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) on The X-Files. Ms Cahill published a bestselling book, did the rounds of the talk shows, then went quiet. The UFO experts at Phenomena Research Australia (PRA) investigated the claims and compiled a 300-page report. In 2020, 27 years after the ‘abduction’, PRA said they were considering releasing their findings - just not any time soon.

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

For some reason, this story got into a collection of hoaxes about UFOs and aliens, but the explanation was not printed, as there were no links to the exposure.
