Witness reported waking to find himself outside his house next to a large silver classic saucer-shaped craft hovering approximately 30 feet above his two-story house. He was then apparently inside the craft, where he observed a man in what appeared to be a U.S. Air Force uniform who seemed angry, a curved interior with a curved rail and walkway, a window to a lower level, and an 'operating room' with chairs, adjustable lights, and a table. He saw approximately 4-5 human doctors. Upon later reflection he also recalled a possible tall, big-eyed, long-limbed insect-type being who gave off friendly, caring impressions. He felt his body was being treated/operated on. The craft was hovering still with no sound, and the witness did not observe its departure. He was 18-19 years old at the time and was a wreck for months afterward, scared to sleep.

- I was sleeping when I began to gradually become aware that I was outside my house, next to a flying saucer! This was just happening, I had nothing to do with it. I felt overwhelmed and completely helpless.
