The encounters

Peter Khoury joins us from Sydney, Australia. His experiences began during childhood in Beirut, Lebanon, when he and several other children suddenly found themselves frozen on a rooftop beneath a silent, egg-shaped craft. The encounter ended with missing time. Years later in Australia, Peter reported strange lights, sleep paralysis and unknown beings standing beside his bed. After another encounter, he discovered two strands of white-blonde hair on his body and preserved them. The samples later attracted researchers and were reportedly subjected to DNA testing, a case documented by Bill Chalker in Hair of the Alien.
