I woke up after a couple hours sleep and the first thing I thought of was the Maurice Masse Valensole encounter in 1965 (covered in detail in UFO Contact).
Maurice Masse AE/CE3K archive
Masse had a conversation with two entities. No, they were NOT "Greys" as depicted in retellings over recent years. No, Masse remembered everything and there was no missing time or onboard examination.
Masse was followed, spied on and there were even attempts to threeaten/bully out of him all the details of the encounter -by Ufologists because it was THEIR right to know. Masse stood by the promise he had made that he would never reveal what was said not even to his wife. He kept his word and the full details died with him. Not even a written record.
Had it not been for his blurting out the account to the first people he saw while in a state of shock we would never have heard the mname Masse. That said Masse did get very excited when someone showed him a photograph of the object seen at Socorro, New Mexico (24 04 1964) and he blurted out that it was incredible -someone had photographed it (the object he saw). Then they told himit was a model based on another incident.
Normally I might think that this was a case of altered state created by boring routine and early working but there was far too much to the case. We'll never know.
Just how many incidents do we not hear of? These are rare encounters and I tend to look at why some that seem genuine suddenly become "life long". But each case has to be looked at and the percipient listened to. If you go into an investigation and already have your own conclusion then it is not the percipient that needs to be judged.
Above all you RESPECT the privacy of the percipient and their wishes. You are NOT entitled to their account so you can put it in a book, cut a TV deal or anything else. Even reporting on the case you MUST not reveal anything identifying about a person.
After the 6th January, 1976 Stanford, Kentucky UFO incident occurred Louise Smith, Mona Stafford, and Elaine Thomas were in a state of shock. They were quite traumatised because their whole world view had been shattered. There physiological effects and the women decided only they would know what happened. One stary unguarded sentence then saw the trio targeted (it was nothing else other than targeting) by Ufologists. There were the threats of revealing their story to the local media unless they did not tell investigators their "story". They relented and the Ufologists did deals including with the tabloid Natrional Enquirer -the women were openly exposed to the public against their wishes and by Ufologists breaking their word. Dr R Leo Sprinkle is the only person who came out of that with a clean slate.
Ufologists got their story -articles, chapters in books and then...the trio were dumped. Ufologists (those that actually know of the case) had no idea Smith and Thomas had died. Checking all the groups, including MUFON, not one knew whether SWtafford was still alive.In fact, checking with reporters and newspapers that had interviewed Stafford in the mid 2000s when a play opened about the event... they did not even have contact details. They got their stories and moved on.

If you look at the three women their faces and eyes say a lot. Look at Parker and Higson after the 1973 Pascagoula incident. I have seen similar faces in cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -something I have repeatedly written about particularly in relation to UFO percipients before the term ptsd was created -PTSD was previously called by other names including b"shell shock": The term "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" (PTSD) was coined and officially adopted in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III).
There are many cases where, had it not been for others finding a percipient in a collapsed/shocked state and an object being independently observed, we would never have known anything had happened. The Dechmont Woods (Livingston) UFO incident occurred on 9th November 1979 and Robert Taylor would never have spoken out. How it affected him is something we will not know but his attitude is something a lot of UFO percipients Known and Unknown take: "It's something that happened and you get on with your life".
Eileen Moreland had an early morning encounter on the 13th July, 1959, Blenheim, New Zeland. There were other witnesses to objects but Moreland seems to have undergone time loss and more BUT she would never talk about that or discuss it with her family. When she confided in the Royal New Zealand Air Force what had happened they promised never to reveal what she told them. The documents were released but ONLY of the UFO incidents no other information. What happened Moreland took to her grave ...and is also in an RNZAF document somewhere gathering dust decades after her death.
Eupora, Mississippi, 1973. Once those witnesses are gone we have lost everything but a meagre few details of what they saw. Ufology has no right to use the terms "professional ethics" or "Science based" while it's grifting as well as petty racial prejudices still exist and -I believe- will never go away.
We have lost so much testimonial evidence.
