1973 UFO Sighting And Missing Time In High Sierra.

In July 1973, I was 18 years old and was hiking the High Sierra Trail in the Sequoia National Forest. I was camped at a place called Lake Hamilton, alone. I remember in the afternoon, standing at my campsite looking to the opposite end of the lake and observing a bright spherical light, low near the shore. The next memory I have is of me sitting on a log in my campsite startled by a big buck deer jumping up right next to me. I remember being amazed how close this deer was to me and not seeing it. I remember being confused why the sun was setting and wondering where the time went. Strangely, the following day a group Boy Scouts came hiked into camp. One of the leaders was Bela Lugosi Jr.

Later in my life, I would have other experiences which led me to understand that I was an abductee. In the early 90's, I joined a support group and met others who shared equally strange, confusing experiences. I appeared with Budd Hopkins in a Disney UFO Documentary.
