The new champion in the strange tales department is a story told by one Sandra (Sandy) Larson. It begins standard enough, but I assure you, at no point is her tale untouched by madness.
Shortly after Oct. 20, 1975, Larson called a local UFO investigator to report that she had been abducted by aliens some two months earlier, in August. She had been driving with her boyfriend and 15-year-old daughter from Fargo to Bismark, N.D. At about 4 a.m., they heard a thunder-like noise and, looking out the windows, saw eight (or 10) glowing spheres descending from the sky. Three of the spheres hesitated, then took off; the other five remained floating in mid-air. Suddenly, they were gone, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. Upon reaching a service station, however, they learned that they could not account for an hour of their time.
Later, Larson would claim that during this hour she was abducted by what must have been the inhabitant of the glowing orange spheres. One moment she was in the car, and the next she was laying on a slab, presumably in the space ship. As is so common in modern abduction cases, a figure stood over the immobile woman, performing terrible medical tests on her. But he was not the regular, gray, lightbulb-headed alien that we all know and love: She had been abducted by a space mummy made of school supplies.
Under hypnosis, she described the thing as being equipped "with elastic bandages for a head, or elastic bandages around its head," and having metal arms. John Coleman of WLS-TV eventually drew up a series of sketches based on Larson's claims for use in a TV documentary about UFOs.
I never would have thought that by "metal arms" Larson meant "yardsticks for arms," but that's what the sketch looks like to me. Can you hear the sound of hysterical sobbing mixed with unstoppable laughter? If so, you're probably in the same room as me. Pass me a tissue, please.
Larson is prone on the slab, at the mercy of a yardstick-man-space-mummy. What is it that he's doing to her? Well for some reason, this nasty from beyond the moon has decided to dissect her, her child and her boyfriend. According to Larson, they received "a complete medical exam … stripped naked and all parts of the body examined … even our heads were opened and all parts of our brains looked at … we were dissected like frogs."
