Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – AN ABDUCTION IN ARGENTINA
Thirty-four-year-old Julio Platner opened the front door of his house on the prairie ranch where he worked, some 15 kilometres from Winifreda, in the Province of La Pampa, Argentina. It was about 19.30 on 9 August 1983.
Noticing a bright light approaching, he investigated. As he pulled up and got out of his van, the light he had seen suddenly came straight at him, blinding and paralysing him.
‘It was as if a lorry were coming towards me,’ he explained to reporters the following day, still disturbed by his encounter. ‘I covered my head with my arms and after that, I do not remember anything until I awoke inside a room.’
(In other reports, it is stated that Julio first saw some small beings, then suddenly found himself, with his van, inside a room.)
When I awoke, I found myself lying on an ‘operating table’ and I discovered four ‘beings’ around me. Two were beside me at the top of the table, one clasping my shoulder with his hand (I saw him but I did not feel his hand). In front of me, about two metres away, there were two more beings, a man and a woman. I moved my lips asking where I was and what they wanted, but no sound came out. Nevertheless, they seemed to understand me and answered mentally: ‘Don’t be afraid. We would not harm you. What you are experiencing now has happened to thousands of people before. You can reveal it if you wish. Some will believe you and others will not.
Platner was then undressed.
‘I felt very calm and comfortable,’ he continued. ‘The temperature inside was quite pleasant. I was not afraid. I looked around and gathered as many details as possible.’
Once the woman came close to me and put her hand on my wrist, but I did not feel it. Then they put a strange artifact on my left arm, with some kind of tube, 30 centimetres long, half rigid and half flexible, and they took some blood. They did not use any rubber band or needle, but I could see how my blood raised inside the tube up to the middle, when they stopped. I tried to touch the being at my back, but I struck something like glass. I tried to stand up and my forehead struck [more] glass, as if I were inside a glass cube.
Platner described the room in which he found himself as spherically shaped, windowless, about three metres in diameter, with walls of a soft beige colour.
Though well lighted, no source of light could be discerned. The only fittings were the examination table on which he lay and a type of glass ‘bookcase’ that glowed. After 15 to 20 minutes, Platner was ordered to stand up, which he managed to do without touching the ‘glass’.
‘They took all my valuables off me, but gave them back afterwards,’ said Platner. ‘After that, I don’t remember anything more, until I came to again and found that I had been lying asleep on top of my van, on a rural road leading to Villa Mirasol
