At a house party a couple weeks ago a friend of a friend gravitated towards my modest collection of books pertaining to various esoteric topics. I asked him, in an offhand way (as one does when one doesn't expect a serious answer), whether or not he had ever experienced anything strange himself. He proceeded to relate an absolutely bizarre experience which occurred to him during his time as an infantryman in the US army. It seems that while stationed in Germany he was accosted one night by a combination of seemingly mechanical devices operated remotely by some sort of cryptoterrestrial being outside of his barracks room window. The experience culminated with a sort of retinal probing; a procedure that was performed while he was pinned down by a cloaked robot with almond eyes (see below). Interestingly, I have since stumbled across a similar story since hearing this man's account. Rick Strassman, the psychedelic research pioneer, documented an eerily similar experience undergone by a subject injected with a high-dose of DMT. Here, is a sketch drawn by the eyewitness himself, of the robotic intruder's cloaked "head", and here is a link to a multimedia retelling of the terrifying event (included video of the experiencer himself and diagrams detailing the layout of the room wherein the encounter took place).
