Close Encounters of the 7th Kind "Creepy twists and turns." "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide." "A terrifying tale." In 1972, astronomer J. Allen Hynek proposed three types of close encounters humans can have with extraterrestrials. Over the years, other experts have extended the list to seven categories. The 1st kind: witnesses observe one or more unidentified flying objects. The 2nd kind: a UFO causes electronic interference, frightens animals, or leaves evidence. The 3rd kind: witnesses see a UFO and an animate object or being. The 4th kind: extraterrestrials abduct a human. The 5th kind: there is bilateral contact between a human and an extraterrestrial. The 6th kind: extraterrestrials cause injury or death to a human. The 7th kind: this is the most controversial encounter--and the most feared. Earl and Tess volunteered at CUFOG, Combined UFO Group, trained civilians who investigated reports of UFO sightings. While many were handled on the phone or via email, some necessitated looking at the locations where the sightings occurred. That's what brought them to the lonely countryside 50 minutes out of Missoula, Montana, where they would discover--to their horror-- their lives and the world were about to change--forever. Parts (A bonus short story) "Whoa! I loved this alien visitation story! It scared the dickens out of me, and I'll never see fog the same way again.""Goosebumpy." "Loren adds creepy to his already impressive writings. He scores again with a well-written, disturbing look at the unimaginable." "Suspenseful, eerie, ominous, and the good guys don't always win. Made me wish there was more."
