Blue Moon Shocker: Local Man Claims Alien Abduction During Rare Lunar Event

The night the second full moon graced the sky this past August, a spectacle usually reserved for poetic musings and romantic strolls, took a decidedly bizarre turn for one local resident. Barry Jenkins, a retired accountant from Elmwood, claims that what started as a quiet evening admiring the celestial rarity ended with a rather out-of-this-world encounter.

Jenkins, a man known more for his meticulously organized sock drawer than for tall tales, insists he was abducted by extraterrestrials. He recounts standing in his backyard, binoculars in hand, aiming to get a closer look at the ethereal glow of the 'blue moon' – a misnomer, he admits, as the moon itself was its usual pearly white. 'It was just breathtaking,' he said, his voice still tinged with a bewildered awe. 'Then, this light. Not like any spotlight I've ever seen. It was… soft, but intense.'

According to Jenkins, the light enveloped him, lifting him gently from his prize-winning petunias. He describes a disorienting ascent, a feeling of weightlessness, and then the interior of what he can only describe as a craft. 'Smooth, metallic walls. No seams, no rivets. And the silence… it was profound.' He vaguely recalls encountering beings, tall and slender, with large, dark eyes. Communication, he states, was not through spoken words but a direct transfer of thoughts and images. 'They showed me… things. Stars, galaxies, a history far older than anything we can comprehend.'

The duration of his supposed journey is unclear. Jenkins estimates it could have been minutes or hours. He remembers a sudden descent, a gentle landing back in his garden, the familiar scent of damp earth filling his nostrils. The blue moon was still high in the sky, its light casting long, eerie shadows. His binoculars lay on the grass, untouched.

When asked about evidence, Jenkins produced a small, perfectly smooth, obsidian-like stone. 'They gave me this,' he explained, turning it over in his palm. 'Said it was a 'memory keeper.'' Skepticism, of course, is the natural response. Elmwood Police confirmed they received a call from Jenkins that night, but upon arrival, found no signs of disturbance and Jenkins himself to be unharmed, albeit somewhat shaken. 'He was lucid,' reported Officer Miller. 'Just… insistent about what happened. We chalked it up to a strange night and maybe a bit too much of that new craft beer he mentioned trying.'

Jenkins, however, remains steadfast. He’s spent weeks poring over astronomical charts, news reports of the blue moon, and any information he can find on UFO sightings. 'People will think I'm crazy,' he admitted, a hint of melancholy in his tone. 'But I saw what I saw. And I felt what I felt. That night, under that rare moon, the universe got a whole lot bigger. And a whole lot stranger.' His petunias, by all accounts, are doing just fine.
