I have already touched upon the book "Missing 411 – The Devil’s in the Detail" by D. Paulides on my various blogs – my colleague Greg organized it for me from the USA.
Information regarding the missing person case of A. C. Waters, who disappeared on January 16, 1973, can be found on page 32ff.
She lived in Half Moon Bay, a city in San Mateo County in the US state of California. Back then, in 1973, the city was still a quiet little place, and the border to the wilderness was rather fluid.
The case exhibits several peculiarities. It is certainly significant that the girl's mother published a book titled "Searching for Anna" after her alleged abduction.
The anomalies began as early as January 14, 1973: the five-year-old at the time ran to her mother crying at night and complained about a "spider monster" that had appeared in her room – a nightmare, according to the adults' interpretation at the time.
Parallels to the CE4 Case and the Oz Factor
While I do not want to anticipate anything, the description of the entity and the abduction taking place two days later remind me of the CE4 case of the US abductee T. Reed. In the 1960s and 1970s, he and his brother were visited by creatures that bear a certain resemblance to spiders – this could be a coincidence, but it does not have to be.
The abduction on January 16 took place in the time window between 2:15 PM and 2:20 PM. Curiously, the mother was a kind of "earwitness". Anna was playing with her dogs when suddenly complete silence fell.
Nothing was to be heard from either the child or the animals – readers surely know this condition as the "Oz Factor". The matter becomes all the more mysterious because it later turned out that at this time, the dogs in the neighborhood were "going crazy", which actually should have been impossible to miss.
Unexplained Phenomena and the Year of the Humanoids
After the mother found the silence suspicious, she looked for her daughter. However, she had disappeared, while the dogs were still there. The extensive search by the police and volunteers led nowhere.
It is strange that the report of the San Mateo Sheriff’s Department mentions "somewhat unusual phenomena" that are said to have taken place at that time, without this being discussed any further.
Paulides researched the topic and found two paradoxical reports: on the one hand, there was mention of a rooster that attacked a resident so severely that it had to be killed.
In addition, a crashing sound was heard over Purisima Creek. However, it is not really clear what astonished the police officers so much at the time. According to a CUFOS publication, the year 1973 offered an extreme number of alien and abduction reports as the "Year of the Humanoids".
Where the Children Disappear
One of my favorite authors is the American D. Paulides. The ex-policeman deals with the disappearance of people without a trace in North American national parks.
I have already touched upon these rather bizarre cases several times. Paulides noticed that children, in particular, go missing. Some reappeared and had no memory of what happened, others remained missing forever.
In 1992, the Albuquerque Journal reported that the highest rate of missing children in the USA occurred in New Mexico – a state that stands for the bizarre aspects of the UFO phenomenon: animal mutilations, underground bases, abductions, and a strange mishmash of earthly high technology and exotic elements.
The Vision of the Glass Dome
In this context, it is interesting what I found in the book "Without Consent" by the two British ufologists Carl Nagaitis and Philip Mantle. It deals with the abduction phenomenon in the United Kingdom.
On page 129, there is the report of a Gerry Armstrong, who is said to have been abducted on board a UFO in 1953 at the age of twelve and taken to an unknown location. His disappearance lasted seven hours, which is very long for an abduction experience.
After the UFO landed, Armstrong was taken into a massive, dome-shaped hall that was full of children. The dome itself was transparent, the sky above it was black, and illuminated spaceships could be seen flying around there.
The scenario on site then became quite weird: he was shown a sphere and given it in his hand, in which his "life review" played out, as if it had been recorded there.
Religious Analogies and the Fate of the Children
Furthermore, two of the "aliens" were interested in the cross he wore around his neck, whereby he was scolded that "worship" was not right. By the way, the beings consisted of a normal-looking woman and a creature that looked similar to a "Grey" and was dressed in red.
The analogy to a near-death experience is obvious here (the life-review film), as is the reference to religion through the rejection of the cross by the "Satan" dressed in red.
Armstrong apparently did not please the strangers and was transported back. The other children in the dome building apparently did not have this luck!
