Case description

On the night of December 26, 1991, twenty-one-year-old István Balogh returned home at Békés, Hungary, and reported a saucer hovering above his backyard. He said he had previously experienced a repeated message that he would meet its occupants. Balogh described being drawn upward and finding himself inside with short, large-eyed humanoids. He remembered a conversation in which they said they had watched him for several years and would take him on a journey. His account included views of the Moon and other unfamiliar sights before he was returned to the yard. He reported the experience to his superiors, as he was serving as a border guard, and later said he had lost his position after doing so. He also claimed that metal fixation hardware previously placed in an injured arm was no longer present afterward. The backyard encounter, the remembered journey and the claimed change in his arm are successive parts of his account. The identity of the occupants and the mechanism of the reported hardware disappearance remain unspecified.

The alleged journey, medical findings and loss of military position remain successive parts of Balogh’s account. His parents reported no unusual observation that night. The film’s claim of absolute proof from missing arm hardware exceeds what the consulted account independently establishes; the removal mechanism and occupants’ identity remain unverified.
