Carl Higdon Abduction, 1974

In 1974, Carl Higdon met a strange, floating humanoid in the woods, and was taken inside a strange see-through structure, only to be literally dropped back down to Earth. Higdon’s case is a classic UFO abduction, but it may also shed light on other unexplained disappearances and deaths around the world.

Poor Carl passed of Covid in January 2022. But there is another piece to this story, the encounters of Pat McGuire that started almost exactly a year before and within 50 miles of Carls experience. Although Pat's alien was different, his name was Michael and from descriptions looked like Voldemort, they both (Ausso & Michael) wore the same uniform, same star ensign and communicated via telepathy. Both were hypnotized by Dr Sprinkle (who was also a contactee!). But MacGuire's case was far more strange, involving a Miracle well, Zionism, cattle mutilation and attempting to father 12 kids. Michael was a classic "Messenger of Deception" . Pat ended up going nuts, became an alcoholic, destitute and estranged from his family. His property ( including the miracle well) was foreclosured and he died from cancer in 2007. Certainly a story that this channel should one day cover.

There's a difference between an intentional procedure, like a vasectomy, and actual lung damage from smoking. Carl was only speculating when he mentioned his vasectomy as he was never outright told why he was rejected.

His story sounds like an amalgam of a bunch of UFO lore mixed in with popular culture like the 69s TV show “My Favorite Martian” which has an ET who has two antennae. I remember meals in a pill was a trope because “astronaut food” was a curiosity.

[@ThinkAnomalous]

Your point about astronaut food is a good one. One thing that is apparent in UFO encounters from all times and places is that the UFOs and UFOnauts always seem to represent what people at that time and place would expect to see in the near future. Hence North Americans in 1896 and 1897 seeing UFOs that bobbed and weaved in the sky, just as contemporary boats bobbed and weaved over rough waters. The 1970s was still a time of great optimism in technological progress and space exploration, and astronauts were considered to be the humans of the future.

This case has become one of my all-time favourites.

[@tylerharry6319]

A huge red flag for me: the fact that the aliens had pills for food. Back in the 1960-70s, one of the popular sci-fi tropes involving future human advancement was entire meals in the form of a single pill. Basically sounds like something that someone who was making up a story about aliens would include to show the listener how advanced the aliens were. Besides this, it seems a bit ludicrous that aliens that have mastered space-time would need to kidnap deer to make into food.

[@peterdalmationcro4217]

Yeah, I’m with ya. What about the black uniform that’s supposed to protect from the sun 🌞, WTF, black doesn’t protect from no sun, worst possible colour/ shade, you’d fry. Not so smart aliens 👽. Also, they need to develop a better, more portable testing apparatus to help identify whatever the hell they’re looking for.

I just watched him on Missing 411...your conjectures are unfounded. Physical evidence of the incidence were recovered and determined inexplicable. For example, the bullet shell that she said he shot into an invisible wall was recovered and analysis determined that it certainly hit something very solid and unexplained. More mind boggling is that he was a TB survivor with scars on his lungs. Post abduction xrays showed pristine lungs with zero scarring which is medically impossible.

[@user-hq3ud1ng4j]

Adding to all that, he took, at least, 3 lie detector tests and passed each of them. He was also examinef by a credentialed psychologist from Wyoming Uni and he determinef him credible.

I have had a history of kidney stones and in 2018 my mother and I saw a UFO at about 10am one morning in Stanford Kentucky. We decided not to tell anyone about it but I haven’t had a kidney stone since 2018 when we saw the UFO. I never made the connection till I watched this video. I can remember the craft looking like a huge white boomerang. We watched it for about 2 minutes till it slowly moved in a downward arc and disappeared. I can remember looking at my mother and she very calmly said, let’s not talk about this. This is the first time I’ve shared this story.

[@blueyedream]

What an incredible case! Thank you as always for the top notch presentation. It's unbelievable that you don't have 10x the subscribers and views.

KZbin largely ceased promoting my channel through recommended content around 2019, and most of my videos are now buried abnormally low in the search results. Growth has been very very slow since then.

In 2010 I worked for University of Wyoming conducting bird surveys. I spent the night in middle of nowhere on the transect near Turtle Mountains. Weather was clear but then a small strong thunderstorm rolled in. It was about 10pm. Just behind the storm was a large elliptical shaped craft I figure 50 feet in length. It moved the same speed as the storm and had blue green and red lights that constantly circled it. It was so strange because it was moving I figure 20 mph. When lightening lit up the sky I could see it's shape. I couldn't hear any noise from it. I figure 200 feet off the ground. At one point the entire thing wobbled then stopped but then continued moving with the storm. Those lights circled it the entire time. Not saying it's aliens but to this day idk what it was. Didn't sleep that light.

Can't find a star that is 163 lightyears away but I'm sure there is one. As for "the third galaxy" could they conceivably be so incredibly old that they are literally from the third galaxy formed as far as their understanding from some milestone they have decided upon? REgardless wonderful obscure (to me at least) case covered by one of my favorite channels. Hope you get bigger and post more!

Even if this were the case, it's still a weird way of describing one's location in the universe. I don't think I'll be increasing my rate of upload, but I also hope that I get bigger. Thanks for watching!

To be honest, I'm planning on wrapping this channel up in another couple years, but I'll put out another 6 or 8 videos before then.

Your evaluation of the subjects u choose show a extreme high IQ. Keep up the good work . U are a essential part of the “change . “

[@ThinkAnomalous]

Thanks for the kind words! Based on the feedback I get from viewers, I genuinely feel as though this channel has helped to change the way people think about anomalous phenomena, and UFOs in particular. I have had many people tell me that they were first introduced to alternatives to the extraterrestrial hypothesis through my videos, and began reading Vallée. It is very rewarding to get this kind of feedback, so thank you.

I know there are good reasons for polygraphs to be inadmissible in legal proceedings, but it's no small thing that Carl passed multiple ones re: his experience with extraterrestrials. These may hit our boggle thresholds, but I appreciate when folks are at least respectful to those who claim the experiences. After the group sightings in New Zealand (1959 case with Fr. William Gill) and at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe in the 90s, it seems that there are messages we'd do well to at least hear. Take care, friends. After all, we are in this together.

In No. Calif. Don Shrum with friends & witnesses fought off robotic gas emitting machination, greys, he fought for his life by strapping himself to a tree on a rocky escarpment. Then had MIB threatening visit (which he did not reveal) after he went on old KGO radio (San Francisco) and told his story. His account & witnesses was investigated by US Air Force .

Best illustrated video of this case. Great job. About the dropping of Carl and mutilated animals (and sometimes humans) as well as his pickup truck, it seems that there is a difference. In the case of mutilated animals, as you remind us, legs or other parts are broken, suggesting a fall from quite some hight. In the case of Carl, it seems that he was gently levitated down to a safe high above the ground and that due to the instable terrain he, himself, slide, fall and injured his shoulder. This makes me think that those are different situations/entities. Yet, the being says that they come to Earth to take "proteins" (meat). So it would make sense if they were the ones that take away some of the animals (and humans) body parts. But in other mutilations cases, witnesses seem to have seen the typical gray aliens. Or maybe there are more than one civilisation doing that?

[@FatovMikhail]

also in mutilation cases only few organs are removed and not the most protein reach ones, mostly eyes, tongues and reproductive organs. can't make any 4-day pill out of that

[@GuillaumeTANNEUX]

@@FatovMikhailgood point. You seem to be well informed on the matter. Fancy a chat about it?

[@ramirosauce8764]

Man, do you REALLY believe that in the whole Universe there's just ONE civilization besides ours...? How can you be so naive...? !

[@ThinkAnomalous]

Thanks for the kind words, and for your insightful comment. There's something disturbing about the way that cattle and other animals are mutilated and dropped from the sky, and something rcesassuring about the fact that they don't seem to treat humans in the same way.

[@MaxWindshear]

I get the impression that due to the unusual circumstances, abductees are in physical danger at all times and that the abductors have to compensate / continually support or repair human tissue while in their presence. Maybe incomplete control of this is why some abductees afterword, have physical problems while others may find old scars healed.

[@ezequielhermoso5954]

Great video as usual very interesting case
