On Oct. 27, 2008 the Discovery Channel broadcast “UFOs Over Earth: The Fayetteville Incident”, link here. Another site, called “Above Top Secret” has an interesting link on this show here. The documentary film covers a MUFON investigation (investigators Richard Lang and James Carrlton and Norman Gagnon) of the incident.

On a relatively mild winter evening in the Fayetteville, NC and Cape Fear general area, January 8, 2007, a father and young adult son, both named Chris Bledsoe (Sr. and Jr.) and presented in the film as “key eyewitnesses”, say that they saw orange-ball UFO’s (rather like the ING Direct Orange!), and translucent beings that seemed to look like glass toys. Three other local men saw the apparent craft (but not necessarily the aliens). The father says he lost a couple hours of time, and was put under hypnosis. He described being in some sort of examination room (presumably after being taken on board), although he did not recall the actual examinations. He was under the impression that the glass aliens were their “children.”

The craft also took on other shapes, like huge white viruses with spikes.

Subsequently, Chris Sr.’s wife described the strains the incident caused in their family, until the family decided to go public. The film describes psychological tests and interviews (given in July 2008), and Bledsoe Sr. describes the real estate business in 2001 which was stressed (perhaps because of recession and 9/11) in a way similar to what is happening today, but in a less severe manner. The film describes some of the personality disorders that may occur when people make false reports based on fantasy (such as narcissistic personality disorder) but none of this was found. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was given (a test that I remember from my own troubled days). The psychological tests showed none of the possible abnormalities. He was shown playing with a pet parrot. Finally he (Sr.) is given a polygraph (“pure of heart” test), which is shown. The answers concerning seeing the beings are reported by the examiner as potentially deceptive, but most was just inconclusive. It's unclear how reliable a polygraph is in a situation like this (as it is generally thought to be unreliable, although people with high level security clearances have to take and pass them).

Fayetteville NC is the home of Fort Bragg, NC (mentioned late in the film), a large Army post with airborne divisions. It would sound reasonable that some craft in the area would be military vehicles. I remember passing through Fayetteville on the bus at night on Feb. 8, 1968 right after my own induction into the US Army, on the way to Fort Jackson to start my own “adventure” (Basic Training). I would visit Fort Bragg again in November 1992 (as well as Jacksonville NC, near Camp LeJeune), for reasons discussed elsewhere on my sites. I’ve described my own sighting in Arizona in 1978 elsewhere (very different from this). In May 2000, I would, while driving between Phoenix and Yuma in a rental car, pause at an isolated desert rest stop and lose a whole hour mysteriously.
