Calgary, Alta abduction report — November 17, 1967

David Sewalt was walking home from a friend's house in Calgary, Alberta, when he heard a high-pitched sound and looked up at a silver-gray object with a band of colored lights. The account used here dates the encounter November 17, 1967; a parallel catalogue entry gives November 19 and a slightly different age for the teenage witness. David said an orange beam reached him as he ran. He arrived home frightened, missing a shoe and unable to account for roughly forty-five minutes. His sister found him hiding beneath his bed. Researcher William K. Allan interviewed him shortly afterward. Several months later, a vivid dream prompted further investigation and hypnosis. In those later recollections, David described being brought aboard, undressed and examined by occupants with rough, reptile-like skin. His descriptions included examination tables and an intense orange light. These details were recalled after the original sighting; the immediate sequence had ended with his return home and the unaccounted interval.
