Over 60 years before alien abduction claims became mainstream, two people were nearly abducted in Lodi, California.
Colonel H. G. Shaw, along with his friend Camille Spooner, had a close encounter with previously unknown entities,
traveling with their UFO in 1896. Shaw was in charge of putting together an exhibition to be displayed at a Fair in
Fresno. Shaw and friend were traveling by horse and carriage in route to Stockton, when their horse froze with fright.
To the two men's shock, they saw the cause of the horse's actions; three tall alien looking beings with small delicate
hands at the end of their spindly arms stood by the road. They had no hair on their heads, yet a soft, light fuzz over
their bodies. Large eyes made their small mouths and ears appear even smaller. The two eyewitnesses would later tell
authorities that the beings had a "strange" type of beauty to them.
All of the beings carried with them a bag of some kind with a hose which they often stuck in their mouths, obviously
to breath with. Although there was still some daytime left, the beings also carried with them egg-shaped lamps which
glowed. This glow would later illuminate a waiting spaceship.
As the men watched the aliens, the beings were communicating with each other by a type of chant, as no English
words were heard by Shaw and Spooner. The men would tell authorities that the aliens made an attempt to abduct
them, but that the large difference in mass between the human and alien body thwarted the effort.
Soon, the three alien beings made a move toward a nearby bridge. Using their other worldly lamps, the aliens lighted
up the bridge, showing a nearby craft. The UFO was of a cigar shape, and it hovered quietly over the water. The
beings seemed to be almost lighter than air as they moved toward their craft. It seemed that the aliens would almost
leave the ground as they walked on the earth.
The beings entered the hovering cigar UFO in a most unconventional way also. They sprung up from the ground and
above their craft, and then floated down into the craft through an unseen entry. Soon, the object flew away. Shaw
later told investigators that, in his opinion, the craft had come from Mars, a common theory for the time. This unusual
case occurred on November 25, and was reported by Jenny Randles, in "Alien Contacts and Abductions."
