Two Silent Saucer‑Shaped UFOs Glide Over Steve’s Home in Late‑Summer Encounter

I WAS IN A UFO.”

1972, Cariboo, BC, Canada

This case comes from Holly McCluskey, director of the website, UFOBC. The incident took place in 1972 at a remote cabin located next to a little lake and an old abandoned sawmill in the wilderness of the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada. The witness is an anonymous gentleman “Steve,” (at the time about 24 years old. He and his girlfriend were staying at a tiny trapper’s cabin about 15 miles from the nearest town.

It was a late summer afternoon when Steve stepped outside to look at the scenery and immediately saw two dull-grey saucer-shaped craft move slowly across the sky. Each was about 30 feet across and totally silent.

 

STEVE: I just stood there and watched them. They were heading for the lake. I was watching the second one go by, and it zapped me. I just felt it…Vibrating. It started on my right side, went through my whole body really fast, and then it came across the other side of my body. As soon as they did that to me, then I knew that they were gonna go land by the lake. And I knew that I had to go down there right away.”

He rushed back into the cabin and told his girlfriend to get up and come with him to see the UFOs. She said, “No, I don’t want to.” Usually she said yes to an adventure, but despite asking her three times, she still declined. So Steve left her at the cabin and walked briskly to the lake, which was less than 500 feet away, and sure enough, there were the two saucers, sitting on the hard rock ground, about 90 feet apart. The closer one had an open door with a ramp leading to the ground.

He walked up to it and could now hear a low rumbling sound. Peering inside, he saw a room inside. So he walked up the ramp and into the craft. He found himself in a round room. He turned to the left and he saw two “space aliens” staring right at him. 

STEVE: Their skin is really gray everywhere, and it’s really wrinkly. Their faces are wrinkly grey skin and two black eyes. They were about four feet high. They were both wearing white smocks, like a doctor would wear. The smocks came down past their knees halfway down their calves. They had long sleeves. It looked like two little men standing there.”

It was immediately apparent to Steve that these people were not from Earth. He felt a wave of shock and fear, looked back at the open door behind him and considered making a run for it. Then one of the ETs spoke telepathically in clear concise English, “It’s okay. Come on in.” He was shocked to hear them speak English, but they also seemed very friendly. So he walked up to them. He could now see that they had three fingers on each hand. Their eyes were twice the size of humans and all black. No ears, just a hole. A tiny hole for a mouth with no visible lips, a small flat nose, pear-shaped heads with no hair. 

Ahead of him he saw two tables/beds, each on a single central pedestal, and a 4-foot-long counter. The walls were brown and curved up into the ceiling. The entire area looked spotless. He saw a doorway leading to a wedge-shaped room. Otherwise, the room was empty. 

Suddenly he blanked out and the next thing he knew is he felt a sensation of pain and woke up to find himself lying on one of the tables, stark-naked, feeling groggy. One of the ETs spoke to the other and said, “Hurry up, grab him, he’s waking up.”

The ET next to Steve grabbed his arm, while the other rushed to the counter. Steve struggled and first, but was too groggy to resist, and just stared at the ET while the ET stared back at him. The other ET returned and Steve promptly lost consciousness again. 

The next thing he knew, he was standing up holding onto a railing, still groggy and unable to move. One ET stood behind him and per Steve, massaged his prostate, while the other stood in front of him and obtained a sperm sample. Again, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he was back on the table, now fully clothed. He got up and started walking around the room. He started asking them questions, but he doesn’t remember what they were.  His attention was drawn to what appeared to be a picture on the far wall, which showed what appeared to be four planets. He continued to explore the room, walking over to the other side where he saw another short counter and two small stools, again held up by a single pedestal. On the counter was a small flat television screen built into the counter, with a small six-inch high joy-stick and three small black buttons next to it. He had the impression it was the control panel for the ship, and knew better than to touch it. He also looked and saw a hallway leading to another room. 

Strangely, he felt no fear, and in fact felt strangely blasé. Continuing to walk around, he looked down towards where he had come into the craft and saw with surprise that the door was open and that it was morning, and just starting to get light. He had been inside the craft for the entire evening.

One of the ETs walked up to him and said, “Okay, you can go now.”

Feeling somewhat foolish for asking, Steve asked the ET, “Can you give me something so I can prove I was in here?

STEVE: “The alien kind of looked at me for a sec, then turned around and walked back to the medical counter. He came back and handed me something. I put out my left hand and took it. I think it was a metal slate, about four inches by six inches. That’s what I’m guessing. I never really looked at it and turned it over to see if it had writing or anything on it. I turned and walked down the stairs, along the ramp and straight out of the UFO with this thing in my hand.”

He walked away from the craft and turning around, saw them flying away. For some reason, he felt that they were watching him, and he took the metal object they gave him and tossed it at a rotten tree-stump. It fluttered to the ground. He’s not sure why he didn’t take it back to the cabin. He walked back to the cabin. His girlfriend was still asleep, so he crawled into bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he asked his girlfriend, “How come you didn’t come down to the lake last night to see the UFOs?” She looked at him blankly and didn’t answer. They never talked about it again. “I don’t know why,” Steve says. “I guess maybe we weren’t supposed to talk about it.”

He went back to the UFO landing site later that afternoon and saw a couple of tracks and indentations in the ground where the craft had rested.  But as he says, “I never went back to look for the thing I threw in the bush. I don’t know why. I kind of turned my head to look, but then I just kept walking. It wasn’t long after that, maybe a couple of weeks, we moved back into town. Eventually, we went our own separate ways.”

Steve never tried to retrieve the alien artifact. He kept his encounter secret from everyone, except once, when someone he knew was talking about UFOs, he blurted out, “Yeah, I was in a UFO once.” But as Steve says, “They just looked at me and continued with what they were talking about.”

But he’s sticking to his story and during his interview in 2023, said he was willing to take a lie-detector test. And that the reason he decided to come forward is because, “I’m 76 now and my health isn’t really good. This is the first time anybody has heard this story. I wanted to tell the story a few times throughout my life, but I didn’t. I thought, well maybe somebody wants to hear it. So now they have.”
