Norway, Maine: Stephens and Gray Abduction with Physical Effects

David Stephens and Glen Gray, driving on Route 26 toward Oxford, experienced their car being controlled by an unknown force at speeds up to 100 mph. They saw bright lights rise above trees in the town of Poland, then encountered an enormous cigar-shaped object with red, green, and blue lights. A light struck their car and they blacked out for several hours. Before dawn at Tripp Pond, they encountered the same object plus two domed saucers skimming the water, releasing grey smoke. Both suffered physiological effects: swollen hands and feet, loose teeth, red rings around necks, and chills. Over months, Stephens underwent eight regression sessions with Dr. Herbert Hopkins, recalling short humanoids (4-5 feet) with large heads, slanted eyes, no visible mouths, wearing dark robes. Five or six entities examined him on a long table, taking skin, nail, hair, and blood samples. This occurred the same date as the first Loring AFB intrusion, less than 40 miles from Brunswick NAS.

Background

1. On October 27, 1975, David Stephens and Glen Gray experienced a possible abduction near Norway, Maine, while driving on Route 26. Their car was reportedly controlled by an unknown force, and they encountered unusual aerial phenomena. This event is notable for its proximity in time and location to other reported UFO activity around military installations in Maine.

The Incident Early in the morning, Stephens and Gray were driving on Route 26 toward Oxford when an unknown force allegedly took control of their car, accelerating it to speeds of up to 100 mph. They observed two bright lights rising above the trees in a field near Poland. These lights moved silently in front of their car, revealing an enormous cigar-shaped object with red, green, and blue lights on its side.

The men drove away, but a light struck their car, causing them to black out and lose several hours of time. Upon regaining consciousness, they continued driving and, just before dawn, arrived at Tripp Pond. There, they encountered a huge UFO, possibly the same cigar-shaped object, along with two other domed saucer-shaped objects above the pond.

Investigation The provided text does not detail any official investigation into the Stephens and Gray incident. Fawcett and Greenwood learned of the incident while investigating other possible UFO intrusions in Maine. The source text does not indicate any law enforcement or governmental investigation.

Significance The Stephens and Gray abduction account is significant due to its temporal and geographical proximity to other reported UFO sightings and possible intrusions at military installations in Maine, specifically Loring Air Force Base and Brunswick Naval Air Station. The incident occurred on the same date as the first intrusion at Loring and less than forty miles from the Brunswick Naval Air Station. This clustering of events raises questions about a potential connection between UFO activity and military sites. The alleged abduction, coupled with the reported physical effects on the car, adds another layer of complexity to the broader UFO phenomenon.
