On November 19, 2005,The Cleveland Ufology Project’s (CUP) guest speaker was Tim Hammond, author of The Chillicothe UFO Chronicles. 1983 was an exceptional year for Army veteran Tim Hammond. Unwittingly, he became part of a UFO drama while working as a police officer at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Chillicothe, Ohio. While on patrol with his partner on November 26th, at 4:55 a.m., Tim and his partner responded to a report that a bright light was in the eastern sky. Tim and his partner saw a sphere beaming a light into the VA hospital, which later was found to have paralyzed employees and patients. The object moved and positioned itself above Tim’s cruiser. Said Tim of what he witnessed, ”whole ‘nother earth get next to ours.” He could barely see the edges of the craft from where he stood. As two green cartridges came from the ship to collect him and his partner, telepathically he was told not to be frightened. Then, Tim saw a tall, slim alien and little chairs occupied by what he thought were alien children or students. They seemed as surprised to see Tim as he was to see them. He was asked if he wanted to go with them. Because of this incident Tim suffered nightmares and fear of ridicule.
